Perhaps forty were present, including a few Ambassadors and military attaihes in attendance upon sovereigns present.

This was revealed yesterday through the aiuiljsis of liquor nml alcohol by city chemists. Of all the liquors seized by the police milling squad under Inspector Jiiines Tsjlor, approximately ninety-five per cent, contain poisonous substances, the analysis also disclosed. HootleggiTs, hard -pressed to obtain alcohol, because of the stringent co operative warfare against them by the police and Federal prohibition forces in this city, have tinned to the use of astouuding methods to obtain ingredi ents with which to make liquor.

A decrease in the release of alcohol that averaged 1.000.000 gallons annti ally six years ago, to an average out put of tiO.OOO gallons this year, is one of the reasons why bootleggers are forced to use what comes their way to make a mash from which alcohol is derived. The stoppage of the leak in the alcohol market was due to the activity of Colonel Samuel O. Wynne. Aided by Schofleld Woiking hand in glove with thu former prohibition enforcement chief in the eastern district of Pennsylvania, Director of Public Safety Schofield supplied the necessary assistance to see that alcohol manufactured In other sections of the country did lmt trickle into Philadelphia. So' effective has been the team work between the Federal and police agen den here, that the new Federal pro- ihibition chief, W.

This led the chemists to make burdens or, more exactly, to reduce the unnecessary expenses. Gilbert' Warning In a word, although Germauy has accepted the Young plan is fulfilling her obligations under it, there still remains the more or less sublimi nal conviction that the burden is at once impossible to carry and undeserved in fact. What is required is a political administration having the votes and the will to compel the German States and people to reduce their own expenses so that they can at one time balance their own domestic budget and pay their war debts, as fixed by the Treaty of Versailles and the Young plan.

In his last annual report, in winding up his administration of the reparations payments under the Dawes plan, Parker Gilbert sounded again the note warning which has been frequently on his lips. Germany, he said, had adequate resources to run her own it- fairs and pay her obligations, but the rate at which she was upending bsd produced an unbalanced budget and would ultimately impair her capacity to pay her conquerors.

Most of tho older couples who went to court were widows or widowers married a second time, and who were having disputes about each other's children.

Perhnps there is a psychological explanation, as well as the obvious one of experience.

It may be that the experience they have gone through, a sort of 'evolution' in heart affnirs, assures them that their eventual decision must be the right one, and they make the best of it. "Certain younger couples, on the other hand, who have not lived long enough to have had much social life with any but each other, and who have not taken much time to think, may be properly mated, but find cause to dis agree with each other simply because they do not realize they are suited.
