BALTIMORE, October 12.— “Sparkling Billy” Craig, an engl- neer from the Kimberley diamond mines of South Africa. who pos- - sesses more diamonds than any other living man,and which col- Tection is said to be valued at more than a million dollars, and who is visiting a friend in Baltimore, says prohibition is making the United States the laughing stock of the world. “Prohibition in the United States is a huge joke,” he said, “and it is making America the laughing atock of the werld. I could see from observation in Chicago that in the leading hotels and cafes prohibition is an absolute fail- ure. The foreign high-class ele- ment consider our prohibition methods a folly, and are surprised that the free American surrenders to such drastic measures being imposed upon him. It has done more harm for the country than it ever will do good.” Asked how he liked the short skirts the American women were BERLIN WAITERS’ STRIKE HARDSHIP ON TOURISTS British Diplomats Warn Country- men of Intolerable Conditions. Americans Inconvenienced. BY GEORGE WITTE. By Wireless to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Coprright, 1921. BERLIN, Germany, October 11.— British diplomatic authorities have warned their fellow subjects to keep away from Berlin at present because of the waiters’ strike which con- tinyes. Conditions for travelers, in- cluding hundreds of Americans, have become quite impossible. Only two or three of the big hotels have granted the employes’ demands and are able to operate. All the others have either closed down or are letting their guests act as their own cham- bermaids, domestica and cooks. They have to make the beds and sweep out the rooms, for if they do not the beds remain unmade and the rooms uncleaned. In the meantime In the places which are open the walters are running things to suit themselves, as they are no longer dependent on tips. Even if the guests should complain about the had service to the proprietor the lat- | ter can do nothing, as no employe can lie: discharged without the approval - of the employes” council, which has o more to say than any mere proprietor. The indications are that the strike will last a week longer, but it prob- ably will end in the waltera’ defeat. ‘There is dissension in their ranks, many having declared that they are quite willing to return to the tipping system. “MAN OF MYSTERY” DIES.

All this talk about woman's modern dress is by folks who cannot -ap- preciate the beautiful. The Amer- ican woman is the one woman in the world any man, be he king or _emperor, should be proud to call his wife.” 2 the literal meanin of restaurant.
