Authorities angrily denied today charges by Ger man t.ousul Bopp that Ihb mail hud been tampered with. Postmaster Fay answered the charge with the declara tion that Bopp's claim was only a surmise, with no justification. According to Boiip, who termed the alleged tampering an outrage, he found one letter had been opened, rcsealed, and then delivered to the attorney for Karon Von iirincken, alleged consulate assistant, charged with being a bomb Plotter. Bopp's theory wns thnt nil the mail for persons concerned with tne c.onspir ncy charges had been taken before ono official nnd unsealed.

Druggists May Refuse to Sell Any Alcohol Druggists of I he city nre taking under advisement a proposition to re fuso to sell alcohol under any condi tions whatever after tho first of the year when the new prohibition law goes into effect. The now law, accord ing to the interpretation of Attorney Genernl Brown Is very stringent, and the druggist will seli alcohol at his neril. In other words, all responsibility Is placed on the druggist, not only as to whether tho doctor has a right to prescribe, but as to whether tho party presenting the prescription, has a right to receive the alcohol. The situation seems to be that if a party presents an affldnvlt and a prescription proper ly signed by a physician, and if the druggist fills the prescription, and the snid party gets drunk and does a lot of damage, the druggist is liable tinder the new law, With a condition like this, the druggists nre seriously con sidering to refuse to sell alcohol un der any circumstances whatever. As the attorney general says, the druggist does not have to sell alcohol, and if he does, he is liable for any subsequent damages. INTERNATIONAL ARE Ultimatum to Austria Un answered France Also An Offender ACTING AMBASSADOR MAY BE GIVEN HIS HAT Lusitania Affair Not Settled -England Will Also Be "Jacked Up" I "WAR WOULD FOLLOW" Washington, Dec. Jl. "Wnr would follow immediately upon receipt of .such a note as press reports say America has sent Austria in the Auconn case, if these were peace times,' said a German embassy official to day. "I do not think, however, that the Teutonic allies would now permit such an increased strength of their opponeuts. Un doubtedly Austria will consult Qormany before answering the note. 1 think; that German di plomacy will advise a fnvorable reply, but whether the first re ply will meet all points (if the American note is doubtful." 9 jC 9fc (C sjc Sj( j)c SjS 5C SjC Department of justice authorities intimated during the day that Consul General Nuber's status is precarious and that. the sit'irt:"'i nt New York is "extremely tense." Since (lie recent conference between government's heads on the subject of enforcement -of neu trality, the department has organized its fodoral district nttomeys every where throughout tho country for a careful campaign against bomb plot ters and neutrality transgressors. A 20 minute conference between Lansing and Zwiedinek led to a rumor thnt the diplomat had already been re Called, but this wns officially denied. Tho subject of their conference wns not known. "Everything Is moving smoothly," said an official. "We expect rapid developments at all points." Another May Go. Washington, Dec. 11. Simultaneous with announcement thnt the sharp Am erican note in the Aneona torpedoing had been delivered in Vienna it beenmo known today that Acting Austrian Am bassador Zwiedinek is in gruve danger of following Ambassador Dumbn, who was recalled at America's request. Developments in the situation have been so rapid recently that Zwiedinek 's withdrawal mav perhaps He nsneo pe fore Monday, the time selected for making piibiic the text of the Aneona note. The most stnrtling evidence against any Austrinn diplomat thus far was presented today to secretary oi nunc Lansing In the form of photographed letters signed by Zwiedinek nnd for warded from Manchester, Mnss., the Austrian summer embassy, In August, 1914, to Consul Genernl Nuber at New York. These Indicated plans for wholesale misuse or forgery of Amc lean passports. One of the Zwiedinek letters suggest ed: "Perhaps it will be possible to procure suitable passports of neutral countries at a slight expense." These letters apparently came from tho Providence Journal which hns been conducting an expose of nllegedd Teu ton activities. Secretary Lansing compared the photographs with those of newspaper fac-similies but withheld comment. Publication of the letters, however, nt .h,::::::1; served to Increase the tension in dip lomatic, quarters. No Fooling With Austria. Washington, Dec. 11. International relations involving this nation enmo to a head today. The most ominous situation wns the Austrian. Grave danger of a severance of diplomatic, relations over the sink ing of tho liner Aneona, with loss of American lives loomed ahead. The American note to Vlonna, amounting to an ultimatum, mndo it Impossible for Vienna to dlckor over the situntlon. Any attempt to do so wss regarded ss likely to preclpltuto tho breuk Immedi ately, With France, this nation likewise had a dlsputo on its hands ln the matter of the French shelling of the American steamer Cosmo.

Discovery of a mysterious fire in her after hold drove the 3,740 ton sugar laden British freighter Tyinghame back into port to day with her crew fighting the flames and a heavy smoke blanketing her. The fire was found when the vessel wag only a few miles out of port on her way to Quecnstown. A harbor fireboat rushed to her aid and poured great streams upon her. While the origin of the firf is a mys tery, it is believed to be incendiary, probably the work of anti-ally ageuts. Twenty minutes after she passed the Narrows and headed out to sea, of ficers found the blaze. Her wireless operator cracked out tho news that she was heading back, giving to shore sta tions the sign "N II " meaning that she was either afire or leaking. As soon the British embargo against American commerce. With Germany, there was an appar ent deadlock over the negotiations aris ing from the torpedoing of the Lusi taiiia with loss of American lives. The silonce of Vienna in the fnee of sharp Amorican demands for action seemed nminous. On every side was the question, "does Austria intend to disregard America's firm request and force a break!" The outlook in most quarters seemed none too optimistic. As for Germany, however, tho situa tion was less tense. Her accession, without a contest, to American demands for recall of Attaches Von Papen and Boy-ed of tho German embassy cleared the diplomatic atmosphere in thnt di rection at least. Congress to Try Probe. Tho state doartment planned to stmt action on tho request of Germany thnt Englnnd be asked for a safe con duct for the pair. As to what course this gevernmcnt will pursue toward safe conducts, asked for their success ors, there seemed some doubt. On this point, however, no friction was antici pated. With the foreign situation tnngled. the administration today hoped mem bers of congress would "put on the soft oednl" in their arraignment or ror- eign nations. Senators Hoke Smith nnd To1 Walsh, however, apparently intend keep aftor England, bocnuso of her treatment of shipments of cotton and copper in which the men are interest ed. Moreover, Senator Lodge's resolu tion to probo subninrino incidents and bomb plots tends to complicuto the nitimiinn still further, and there is no assurance thnt many other members will not take a hand in discussions nnd rnnnlutiniiB Hint An the situation no ffood from a diplomatic standpoint.

Forrest. . (United press staff correspondent.) London, Dec. 11. In a whirlwind eleventh hour attempt to stay a con scription move, thousands of men today overwhelmed recruiting offices in their nnxiety to enroll before Lord Derby's enlistment campaign ends at mid night. Ho rushed were tho recruiting men, that the usual examinations were dis pensed with. Doctors moroly noted thoir nnmeB and told thorn they would bo exumined later. Young men, single and married, and middle uged men were in the cnlistinc throngs. Tho chief station at Scotland Yard was opened at 7 o'clock uftcr a crowd, including several men in silk hats, a dozen bank clerks, and soma professional men, had becu lined up for over an hour. In South London, tho crowds wero even heavier. Provincial citioB reported they had recruited men all night and weary officers faced additional thou sands this morning. v From Liverpool came a plea for mora time, as tho officers thero had boon unnblo to enroll the men already be sieging the offices. Birmingham dis posed of 10,000 armlets, signifying en listments, and requested more. Women school teachers wore drafted as uids to the recruiting sergeants at Glasgow, whoro throngs of volunteers waited in tho rain. Three hundred ex tra recruiting men had to be put on at Leeds. On Lord Derby's report to tho cab inet tomorrow as to tho results of his campaign will probably dopend the gov ernment 's decision as to whether or not it shall engage in conscription to fill the ranks.
