PROHIBITION.
A "DRY" FESTIVE SEASON.
Now York, Doc. 22. The prospect of & "wet" Christmas and wetter" New Year was clouded last night, when the Fedoral prohibition forces swoop- ed on Broadway and summoned the proprietors of, 53 of the best- known restaurants and night clubs to abow.cause why their establish- ments should not be padlocked for violating the Volstead act.
The proprietors meanwhile have beon served with personal injunc-| tions, contravention of which will mean sentence of imprisonment."
Evidence, in connection with these activities was gathered dur- ing three months' investigations. by prohibition agents, posing na idle song of wealthy London widows, exiled-Russian moblemea,) Florida real estate promoters, And keeping late hours Renter's American, Service.

FRANCO-GERMAN TENSION.
MORE SCATHING COMMENT.
Berlin, Dec. 22, Unabated indignation at the Landau judgment is voiced in the morning's papers unanimously declaring that while German ter- ritory is occupied and such acts are committed with impunity, reall Franco German conciliation is im- possible.
The Lokal Anzeiger says the verdict will unite all hearts ini Germany. The Krenz Zeitung says thus does Locarno look in reality The Tages Zeitung says the deci sion will not be forgotten when France again tries to mislead; Germany with promises. The Allgemeine Zeitung declares the verdict, which acquits a.mur- derer and sentences his victims, is a bloody mockery of Justice- Reuter.
