CONSTANTINOPLE “DRY.” By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 15, 9.10 p.m. Constantinople. June 14. Following on a series of postponements, the Governor has announced that Constantinople will be “dry” as from Friday. The decision has caused consternation, ‘ and it is doubted if the lurkish police will be able to enforce the decree. Many holders of stocks have not yet made the declarations demanded, -but re-export will be allowed. A hundred establishments will remain open for Allied troops exclusively. The decision involves the loss of £500,000 to the debt commission, which the Turkish Government is bound to make up. SUCCESS IN AMERICA. Received June 15. 9.55 p.m. New York, June 14.
