LONDON, April 6.—King <.corse to
day issued an order that the royal
households must hereafter be on a
prohibition basis and that all employ
es of his household staff who so much
as touch liquor shall be instantly dis
missed. The order is expected to be
followed by similar orders covering
every department of the government
and will result in the end of the li
quor traffic in the United Kingdom.
BOYCOTT 0#
JAPANESE GOODS
PANAMA, April 6.—A leading Chi
nese merchant here today announced
that he had cable advices from China
to the effect that his countrymen the
world over had begun a boycott of
Japanese goods. No merchant of his
race, he said, was to buy or sell
goods of Japanese origin. He takes
this as China’s answer to the recent
demands made upon her by the Japan
ese government. The order affects
thousands of merchants in Mexico,
Central and South America, who han
dle Japanese silks and other goods.
PORTLAND, Ore., April 6.—Chinese
residents of Portland today declared
a boycott on all Japanese goods In
retaliation for the demands recently
made upon China by Japan. The
action was decided upon at a meeting
of the Chinese six companies. Any
Chinese violating the boycott, it was
decided, should receive a warning up
on the first offense and thereafter
would be subject to a fine. A picket
will be stationed in front of each
Japanese business house.

a Swedish mercliantship and have tak
en her to a German port as a prize
of war. The ship is believed to have
been carrying food supplies to Eng
land though the German blockade is
being made as effective as possible
against the United Kingdom. Few
Danish merchant ships now operate
between home ports and England but
remain in the trade between England
and other countries where the risk is
less.
German Submarine Captured
PARIS, April 6.—A German subma
rine operating near Dover, England,
was captured today by the British as
the underwater boat had become foul
of the nets placed at the entrance of
tbe harbor. The crew were taken off
the boat and have been sent to the
separate prison which is maintained
for German prisoners who constitute
the crews of the submarines. They
are not allowed any privileges be
cause of the contention of the .admir
alty that tbe men are pirates when
they sink merchant ships and send
non-combatants to the bottom.

LONDON, April 6.—The official an
nouncement made today by the war
department tells of great gains by the
French troops along the River Meuse,

Passing oi Old Houses.
Riders and walkers through the New
Knglnnd countryside and villages learn
to look for the venerable houses, many
of them centenarians twice over, which
not only distinguish tills region, but fit
into its landscapes with a suitability
which newer buildings somehow lack.
As tins interest grows the observer be
gins to notice that they are nil too rap
idly disappearing to give place to mod
ern houses which nre certainly no 1m
provenient in workmanship and urchi
tecturnl design, and not necessarily su
perior in comfort and convenience If
the old houses are properly handled.
In losing these ancient buildings we
are losing not only parcels of history.
We are losing tpiite ns much a digni
fied and fitting style of domestic archi
tecture which is all the more effective
by being severely plain.-Boston Trans
cript. __
