THE German Emperor received
david Bey, the Turkish Minister OF
Finance. in Berlin yesterday. In an
interview which appeared in the Der,

that the Emperor was much concerned
about the possible fate Of CONSTANT

the prosperity which the forcing of

Business, Not Romance, Marks
the Contraband Trade.
Chiefs of the Runners in Holland Arc
Well Dressed and Their Dens Are
Modern Offices-Guard
Methods Closely.

Rotterdam.-The romantic snug
gler waiting for dark night to run
his lugger ashore in a cove and then
bury his bales and barrels in the sand
has disappeared, but the trade still
fourishes and probably brings more
profit than ever, especially just now IN
Holland. The modern smuggler here,
however, is interested chiefly in get
ting contraband out of the country
rather than bringing it in.
A call at an up-to-date smuggler's
den, of which several exist in the cen
ter of Rotterdam, probably would re-
veal a middle-aged German dressed
in a well cut business suit at desk,
in front of him small heaps of spices,
grain of various species, oilcake and
raw rubber, and sample bottles of
burning and lubricating oils. From
time to time the smuggler chief takes
the telephone receiver down and calls
number, and bargains in terse
phrases over the price Of job lots of
the articles, samples of which lie be-
1OIS n1LJg SCAt AOA LIS dpPAO foA ny AAOA-
chants and dealers who held stocks
more or less extensive before the new
and strict government regulations call
ing for an inventory were issued.
Then follow other telephone calls on
shippers or their shippers. The snug
gler chief is trying to arrange for the
transport of his illicit exports across
the border line into Germany or Bel
GUM. Freights for this trade are
high, and the smuggler's efforts are
directed toward beating down the ship
per to as low figure as possible, but
the shipper holds out, for he knows
smuggled goods bring high rates when
safely brought to their destination.
Torture would not force the SNUG
glers to disclose the methods by which
they manage to forward the contra
band beyond the closely guarded from
tier. 1t is limited, however, that many
railroad cars ostensibly conveying
freight from Holland to Denmark and
from Denmark to Holland are mys-
teriously uncoupled and disappear
while passing over the intervening
German territory. Dutch fishing boats,
too, often are seized OF the coast by
German patrol boats and taken into
German ports. whence they are re
leased after their cargoes have been

unloaded, to the evident satisfaction
of the shippers.
Dozens of Rhine lighters pass daily
up, and down the river whose course
runs through Germany and Holland,
and occasionally one is held up be-
cause of the presence of illicit cargo;
but it is possible that for each one
stopped several others pass muster
with forbidden goods on board and are
received with welcome by the German
authorities. From numerous points
along the frontier, closely guarded
though it is by Dutch troops, come re-
ports of cattle and horses being driven
across into German territory, where
the lines Of sentinels are thin or woods
prevent clear view.
The gains to be obtained by the run
ming of contraband are so tempting
that the efforts of the authorities have
been rendered futile Practically half
the Dutch troops now modified are
engaged in guarding the frontiers, not
against foreigners but against Dutch
men trying to pass contraband. 1t is
difficult, however, to guard every yard
Of the border line and IL the attention
of sentry can be distracted for only
a few minutes this gives the willy
smuggler his chance to get across with
his goods.

IN THICK OF FIGHT
Fierce ExaItation of Battle Told
by Frenchman.
Corporal Describes che Hoarse Shouts,
the Rasp of Steel on Steel, the
Appeals for Mercy in Street
Fighting.

Paris-"No more excitement; an
astonishing calm fills US as we open
fire upon the Germans who have taken
cover in the houses in the outskirts
Of the village" writes Charles Tar
dieu In a recent installment of his
Impressions of Corporal" published
In the Figaro.
From windows, embrasures, from
the cover of doorways they blaze away
=. US. Forty bodies are strewn across
the interval between US; few wound
ed men are scrambling and wriggling
in the mud. Little by little we re-
gain our breath.
AT the top of the village street de-
boucheS a company of German infan-
try. A heIlish fire welcomes them,
but still they come on, sowing their
dead by files. Faster and faster we
pump our breech bolts. Their first
ranks crumple, they tramp over them;
the next rank falls, still they come
on. At last their chief, huge devil
of an officer, who is waving them on,
goes down. A new volley drops seven
or eight more men. This time they
stop, hesitate a second, then turn and
run
Charged roars the captain. Give
them the steell' We rush in, our two
buglers, their neck veins swelling,
playing us the heart-stirring notes Of
the charge. A heroic intoxication
swel1s through Us and we run like be-
tngs possessed into the narrow streets,
through the humming bullets.
Into houses, through gardens, past
open doorways the skirmishers throw
themselves, to come out with dripping
bayonets. No more shots-death
shrieks, groans, hearse shouts, piteous
cries for mercy are mingled with the
crash of falling furniture, the slam
ming of doors, the nasty rasp of steel
on steel. And over it all the strident
notes Of the charge!
From each house as it is silenced
pour our men, some of them wounded.
Hatless, coatless, without their packs;
one man has discarded his blouse and
is working with his sleeves rolled up.
''Trampling on the corpses that
strew the way, leaping over obstruc-
tons, we make our way up the street,
when a machine gun section appears
In front of US. But before they have
time to unlimber we are upon them.
An instant of hard work with butt
and steel and its crew is down be-
side their overturned piece. We pass
on.
Into the cross street we turn. A
few bodies are lying there; one house
is burning briskly. Spiked helmets
bob over the walls as their wearers
