Musical circles In Berlin and Dresden ex pect a great influx of American musicians as soon cs enough time has elapsed to allow whatever ran cor may be felt In that country ngainst the Germans to pass and providing the United States govern ment places no restrictions upon such emigration. Tbe belief prevails here that it will be but a short time before art relations between the two countries will be resumed with greater, en ergy of purpose than before the war. "I am sure it will take time to bring this about," declared August ffpanuth, weUknown musical critic, today, "but I believe that the American iSusical public will come to a realization that art is above personal and nationalistic hatred. "The Germans produced many of Shakespeare's tragedies while the war was' on, just as they played Verdi's operas and Sousa's marches, f believe the American people have too much common sense to neglect the study of German music. It would mean' cutting into their own flesh." , ARBITRATION FOR DISPUTE ARRANGED Steps were taken today which are expected to result in the settoment of tho differences ' between the Loven & Chinlnnd store and lite clerk's union, when on the voquast of Mayor J.

MEXICAN BORDER IS STILL FAR FROM DRY Ll;ttor Smuggling Int .the United State from South Has Becorw Fine Art. - ' "V I Br 1' tilled Preu to The Bend Bulletin. 4 LAT.EDO, TEXAS, Aug. 11 En forcement of a nation-wide prohi bition may offer a hard problem to peace officers In the Inland states but their job is a sinecure to that of the federal officials trying to keep the American side of the Mex ican border dry. Prohibition in the United Ptarjs has offered a means of wealth to hundreds of adventurous spirits on the Rio Grande and booze smuggling is being made a fine art All the fiery Mexican drinks mescal, aguardiente, and teiuilla sell readily in the states and smug gling is comparatively easy since the twelve .. hundred miles of bcrder is generally sparsely settled i-tts la patrolled only by small - military units. . . - , . The wily Mexican, trailing his mescal in goat skins and hoc skins. kwad.es the Rio Grande at night, dis poses of his wares, and Is back in Mexico again long before the dawn. When the mescal lacks punch he spikes It with red pepper, onions or drugs, and the result Is a knock out that backs Jack Dempsey's up percuts In the shade. , Spiked soda water is another , means of avoiding detection. (Re cently, a Mexican wtth a cargo of apparently harmless pink Boda water was stoped by customs agents, who sampled his wares. The soda water was pink In appearance only. It's kick beat any American "Rod Eye" known. In one week recently, in the town , of Alice, Jim Wells county, customs agents found more than 300 quarts of mescal. . ; HA nn PARTY niVP.M AT C. J.
