Difficulties, both foreign and domestic, grew apace Saturday in the federal government's efforts to enforce prohlbtlon. To cope with the situation brought about by the repeal of the New York state prohibition enforcement act by the legislature at Albany, Friday, the government will have to rush reinforcements to New York at once to aid the federal authorities there. Coming in the midst of a renewed effort to cut oil New York's liquor supply by sea, the action of the New York legislature in repealing the state enforcement law, which heretofore has aided toward federal enforcement within the borders of the state, is looked up in as increasing many fold the difficulties of the federal prohibition force assigned to that territory. Speaking for the league Wayne B. Wheeler characterized the enforcement law repeal as the "only legislative consolation prize the wets have won this year," and added that New York is In a class by itself and furnishes no criterion for law abiding states on the question of prohibition." Prohibition Commissioner Haynes declared there would be no let down in prohibition enforcement in New York as a result of the withdrawal of the state forces. Ona effect of the repeal of the New York law which officials here are most anxious about is that it will be to throw all prosecutions of dry law violation into federal courts. In several other states not having state dry codes the federal enforcing corps have encountered jammed court dockets, with consequent delays in prosecution. Some treasury officials at least, fear a similar condition will develop in New York. The German government, In a public here Wednesday simultaneously with its receipt by the entente and Washington governments, proposes that twenty billions of the total be raised before July 1, 1927, by a bond issue at normal rates of interest on the international money market. Five billions would be raised before July 1, 1929, In the same manner end the remaining sum similarly before July 1, 1931. The note asserts that Germany, in accordance with existing treaties, 'Will also make payments in kind which are to be credited to her account. The note expresses the government's conviction that the new proposals represent the utmost limit of Germany's capacity to pay and expresses grave doubts as to whether the offer does not exceed her ability in view of the heavy dislocation and weakening of the reich's economic organization caused by the Ruhr occupation. The new German propositions for a reparation settlement are so far from acceptable to France that a flat rejection of them is regarded by persons close to Premier Poincare as inevitable. This rejection, it is stated, will probably be followed by an extension of the occupation on the right bank of the Rhine. . note made RAIL DISASTER STRIKE CLASH INJURES MANY SIX PERSONS ARE KILLED AND WATCHMAN AT SAW MILL KILLS INJURED AS MEMBER OF MOB ATTEMPT.
