American tourists during the past two

and iorfeitures. Beginning today, how
ever, returning tourists are facing new
phase Of the fight. The announce
ment OF customs officials in New York
that penitentiary sentences have been

OF attempted smuggling is the occasion
OF the new order of things. The amaz-
ing thing about the numerous attempts
to smuggle in foreign purchases, says
government official is the astonishingly
large number of people who do not
think there is anything wrong in 1t
They are church people and perfectly
moral and honest in other respects
but in this they can see nothing wrong
whatever. Until the public has beer
educated up to the belief that 1t is a'
wrong to rob the government as 1t is tC

even prison sentences will not entirely
stop the practice.

DESLYS TO COME TO AMERICA
French Danseuse Offered Six Hundred
Dollars a Performance In New York.


Vienna. Oct. S.--Gaby Deslys, whose
twinkling toes danced nation into q
revolution and kicked a kingly crown
from the head OF Manuel OF Portugal
is considering three cabled offers from
American theatrical managers. The
dancer declared today that contracts
probably will be closed by cable call
ing for her appearance in New Yorl
during the present season.
While awaiting for the result OF he'
cabled conferences with the American
managers, Gaby Deslys has been in
communication with Manuel. who is or
board the PortugueseroyaD yacht Queen
Amelie, in Gibraltar harbor.
Il am happy, happy, happy" she
almost sang today as she received the
United Press correspondent. Il have
heard from the king. The danger;
through which he has passed had moi
been sufficient to make him forget me.
From Gibraltar he has sent me long
cabled message Of love. believe he
will meet me in Paris on October 16,
as he had planned. Then.I will show
him that though his own people have
turned against him, Gaby Deslys is still
loyal"
Mile. Deslys refused to show the
cablegram or quote from it, declaring
the message, filled with the love Of
her subject the king, was too sacred
for other eyes than her own.
In an exclusive interview Thursday
with the United Press Representative,
Mile. Deslys declared that she consider
ed it no disgrace to be the mistress OF
a king, but that she would consider
it a disgrace to advertise her relation
ship for financial gain. Evidently she
has changed her mind and now IN
tends to capitalize her escapades with
the deposed monarch. To each OF the
three American offers received yester-
day aud today, she replied that she
would go to America for guarantee
of 5000 a performance.
New York, Oct. 8.-Florenz Ziegfeld,
jr., the musical comedy producer, to-
day announced to the United Press
that he had captured the prize for
which producers Of America are
fightiDg-the right to bill Mile. Gaby
Deslys in New York. Zeigfeld secured
an option on Mile. Deslys' services a
year ago, and three months ago signed
a contract to pay her $500 week as
headIiner in his midwinter revue which
is to open in the New York Theatre
Thanksgiving Day.
Zeigfeld's fear that Deslys would
break her contract is evidently borne
out by the Vienna cables to the United
Press that she is in communication with
three American managers, to each OF
whom she fixed her terms at 5000 a
performance. Her contract with Zeig-
field calls for $500 a week, and there
are prospects OF long drawn out legal
battle between theatrical managers il
the dancer tries to break her original
contract.
'Deslys is now only 20 years old, .
said Zeigfeld," with piquant French
figure and manner. She is a pro-
nounced natural blonde, and wonder
full dancer"
