FORMAL DENIAL.

The French Foreign Minister has formally denied the existence of any such document.

The Temps describes the publication as a sharp attack against France on the very day a critical con- versation is proceeding in Paris.

Much evidence was reaching Washington that some States were disposed to abdicate their police authority to enforce prolúbition, also that there was a general misconception that the Federal Govern ment was responsible for enforcement, whereas it was not equipped to make enforcement locally effective.
