l'application de la Prohibition cette année. Le historic Brevoort Hotel, une block au-dessus de Washington Square, a été requis par M. Buckner pour accepter un verrou pendant six mois. Si l'hôtel n'accepte pas de se fermer pour cette période, le Procureur général dit qu'il prendra ses charges en cour et fera fermer l'hôtel pendant un an. M. Buckner accuse l'une de ses femmes agents d'avoir acheté du liquide dans le hall de l'hôtel Brevoort. L'hôtel est désormais en cours de réfection.

While the authorities give no specific explanation for this action, it is assumed that they desire to guard Russia’s valuable fisheries and fur, coal and other resources in these areas.

Peking Government has issued a mandate drawn up by the Cabinet and ordering a punitive expedition against General Wu. General Wu is described as a bona fide disturber who has been cooperating with bandits to destroy the peace of Honan and Shansi. It recalls unsuccessful punitive orders against him in 1920 and 1922. General Wu is the new ally of the Mukden Warlord and at present is marching from Hupeh into the Province of Honan. Provincial commanders warn that if any cities are attacked they will put civilians, women, and children in the front lines. The Governor of Chahar-Tung Province

Presumably to be in readiness, Marshal Chang is already rushing his troops South from their position in the passes beyond Peking. The Peking Cabinet has decreed to replace the present Governors of Chahar-Tung and Hupeh. The Cabinet has proclaimed the National Army all-powerful at Peking. Meanwhile, there is a quarrel between detachments of the Second and Third National Army over the allocation of railroad rolling stock in Tientsin. The command

The people of Tientsin are panic-stricken. They fear that if General Li forces the “Christian” General to retreat, General Feng’s National Army will loot as it goes.

Washington, "Father of his Country," on the 193th anniversary of his birth. Not only Americans honored the memory of the man who made the United States possible. France and Latin America joined in celebrating the birthday. Among the most important of the ceremonies was a luncheon given by the Ambassador, Mr. Myron T. Herrick, at the Embassy to diplomats of the Latin-American Republics. A wreath was placed this morning at the base of the Washington statue in Paris. Latin-American Amity, The luncheon to the Latin-American diplomats was marked by an address by the American Ambassador, in which he emphasized the
address by the American Ambassador, in which he emphasized the friendly feeling between the United States and its sister republics. He said: “The name of Washington is inseparably associated with that of Hidalgo, Bolivar, and San Martin and all that galaxy of heroic generals and statesmen who sprang up to lead the peoples to the South of us to liberty and independence. Our people in the United States are especially mindful of the noble character and great achievement of General San Martin at this time as we are now able to gaze upon that heroic character in the fine monument
to gaze upon that heroic character in the fine monument to him in Washington which was erected and presented by the people of Argentina last October." In accepting this gift to our people, President Coolidge paid a high tribute to the qualities and achievements of the Latin-American nations in which he could not do better than speak on this occasion. President Coolidge dwelt on the great contribution which Latin America has made to the cause of peace, in the substitution of the rule of arbitration, adjudication, and confidence for the rule of force and war. Mexico is Praised. "We in

"We in the United States especially appreciate the striking work which has been done by the Government of Mexico to encourage the exchange of students between Mexico and the United States. It is most important that an ever-increasing number of our students and teachers may avail themselves of this opportunity to study the old and beautiful culture of Mexico." The celebration of Washington's Birthday was continued in the afternoon when the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a meeting at the residence of Miss Fisher, 45 Rue Copernic.

It was the women of this association who provided the ivy, gathered from Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral home of Washington in England, which was placed in a wreath yesterday on the Washington table in the American Church. This evening another important celebration will be the dinner of the American Club at the Hôtel du Palais d’Orsay. Sniping Madman Leaves Omaha And Residents Do Rejoice to Chuckle (Paris Times Radio) OMAHA, Monday.—The sniping madman
Rejoice to Chuckle (Paris Times Radio) OMAHA, Monday.—The sniping madman of Omaha has not disturbed the city's peace since last Friday night and residents are shaking off the fear that has kept them in darkened houses for several nights. Apparently the crazed marksman has shifted his activities to Council Bluffs, just across the Missouri River. A railroad detective, Mr. Ross Johnson, was mysteriously shot there and is in a critical condition today. The maniac is blamed, bringing his list of victims to eight, three of whom are dead. Omaha is not exactly glad to learn of the misfortune at Council
not exactly glad to learn of the misfortune at Council Bluffs, but greatly relieved to believe that the strange assassin has left. Now that he has gone, Omaha is chuckling at incidents which occurred during his murderous visit. Many false alarms were followed and the search was not without its ludicrous aspects. Several citizens reported being fired upon, but investigation proved that imaginary fears were their only assailants. Policemen and Légionnaires who joined in the hunt received a report of an attack near the outskirts of the city. They rushed to the scene and found both the maniac and his
to the scene and found both the maniac and his victim. The latter could scarcely stand—he was so drunk. He pointed an accusing finger at an artist’s easel which he claimed had fired several shots at him. Next morning, he told the Police Court Judge a different story. The railroad detective who was shot at Council Bluffs returned the fire of the maniac but apparently missed his mark. The attack occurred in the railway yards. SPANISH PROGRESS MADE IN ANJERA (Paris Times Spécial) MADRID, Monday.—Communiqués from Spanish military headquarters in Morocco announce an advance into the heart of the Anjera
Morocco announce an advance into the heart of the Anjera country which is important for two reasons. It means that the main markets of the Anjera tribes are now controlled by the Spanish troops and that all opportunity for the rebels to drive General Primo de Rivera's soldiers to the North has been checked. This assures the maintenance of communications between Tetuan, Tangier and Ceuta, which is of vital importance to the Spanish. The capture of the market places was effected without opposition. INCREASED TAXI RATES EXPECTED FOR PARIS Taxi fares and electricity bills are virtually certain to be increased
fares and electricity bills are virtually certain to be increased with in the near future. The Municipal Council of Paris assembles today in an “extraordinary session” that will last until the end of the month to consider various fiscal measures, some of which are to be applied to balancing the city budget. Last year an increase in the cost of electricity was voted. This was a maximum of 35 per cent, but only a 20 per cent additional cost was made effective. It is now proposed that the remaining 15 per cent be applied, beginning on April 1, and it
per cent be applied, beginning on April 1, and it is generally agreed that the proposal will be passed. The increase in taxicab rates is proposed at 25 per cent. It will mean a first charge of 0 fr. 95 for 320 métres instead of 40.0 métres; 0 fr. 20 for every succeeding 160 metres, instead of 200 metres, and double rates after eleven o'clock at night. These rates are to become effective on May 1. During the interval taxi drivers are authorized to increase fares by one franc and to double the fares at night. NO OBJECTION IN TOKIO

Brewers, laughed heartily at the fantastic idea of a country without beer and wine. They laughed right up to the morning, upon which they woke up to discover that they had no business at all.

True, it would be much better, in the opinion of many, if these beverages could be won back in

Unfortunately, however, that is not the way these things are accomplished in this age of super-organization. The advent of Prohibition clearly proved that. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

EYES ON THE NEAREST A new and important grouping of forces in the Near East may well result from the treaty just concluded by the French and
result from the treaty just concluded by the French and Turkish Republics. On the face of it merely a convention providing that the two will be good neighbors, it contains implications that make it a diplomatic event of the first magnitude. It is many months since anything as significant has come to pass either in the Far East or in the world. It is of interest to France to have such a treaty. Turkish irregulars in recent months have been filtering across the North-Eastern border of Syria into territory which the Angora Government up to the present has claimed. This
the Angora Government up to the present has claimed. This infiltration resembled much the procedure by which other irregulars, by their raids, stirred up the natives in Cilicia, finally bringing on war with Turkey itself and compelling France, five years ago, at last to surrender the region. At a time when France is engaged in defending, before the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations in Rome the manner in which she has exercised the Syrian mandate, a Treaty provides for peace in the North of the country. This is bound to be a useful “talking point” for France. Similarly,
bound to be a useful “talking point” for France. Similarly, it will discourage the Druzes, who have relied greatly for the success of their rising upon French military efforts being diverted elsewhere. The new instrument, should, go far to bring general peace in troubled Syria. It is not yet established whether Turkey is given the self-control of the Bagdad Railway along the now rectified frontier of Syria. This will not be known until the text is issued officially in Paris, where the final word on the Treaty itself must be said. But the status of the railway would seem to
said. But the status of the railway would seem to be affected in any case by the convention. France and Turkey, as all the despatches state, have bound themselves to observe neutrality towards any conflict in which either shall engage. This brings the question of Mosul again to the fore. Even if Turkey has not been given full title to the railway section, along the middle of which the old border used to run, this neutrality would serve to prevent other troops than hers from being transported by it. The Bagdad line is the best means of transportation to the
Bagdad line is the best means of transportation to the Mosul area claimed by both Britain and Turkey. By all indications it thus becomes useless for the former in case of the conflict that remains possible in Mosul. For war there Turkey would have the “inside lines” of communication by land. Britain would have to employ a long and awkward sea route, through the Suez Canal to the Persian Gulf, and then up the Euphrates Valley. If this is a prospect likely to please Angora, by the same token there may be explained in part the interest shown by the
