Governor Benjamin Strong OF one

said at dinner recently:
"Germany, before she ceases her
diabolical crimes, expects the world
to forgive and forget all. That is
what she means by "a just peace
Germany reminds me OF the little
boy who said to his mother:

very little to complain OF since your

Lord Eustace Percy is renowned for
his quick wit. In New York recently
he took taxicab to his hotel and duly
paid and tipped the chauffeur OF his
arrival
But the chauffeur, accustomed to
our American extravaganza, seemed
to think the tip too small.

LIQUOR Law Violations in Richmond


The Ministerial Alliance has appointed a COM
mittee to investigate alleged violations of the
liquor law including bootlegging, Importation of
liquor and the selling Of the product by socalled
dry-saloons.
Every law abiding citizen of Richmond fav-
ors and supports enforcement of the statute
When the general assembly declared Indiana dry
by statutory legislation, the legislators voiced the
opinion Of the majority of the citizens of the
Hoosier state The people wanted the state to be
bone dry, and it should be kept dry.
Difficulties attend the enforcement of the law
because Of the proximity Of the city to wet ter
ritory. Men who desire to import liquor can do
so with comparative ease because of the many
highways leading into Indiana from Ohio cities.
The police department is handicapped because it
cannot guard all the approaches to the city and
search every automobile and vehicle that enters
Richmond. Bootleggers know the patrolmen by
sight because of their uniform and naturally
evade them. To obtain convictions the police de-
partment must have facts and not hearsay. It
has run down scores of rumors and watched many
men suspected either Of importing liquor or of
bootlegging. A large number of arrests and con-
victions are on the police records
If the liquor laws are violated in an open man
ner, conscientious citizens should assist the police
department by obtaining the evidence, which in
the very nature of the case the patrolmen can
not obtain. Denuncation of the police depart
ment is not fair if the citizens will not present
proof of their claims and are not willing to CO.
operate.
The Ministerial Alliance cannot be criticized
for instituting an investigation through COM
mittee. If citizens have absolute proof to SUBJ
stantiate rumors they should present it.
Officials Of the Anti-Saloon League cognizant
of loopholes in Indianas bone dry law have intro
duced measures in the general assembly to curb
the evil. One of the most difficult features of the
old law is enforcement of the provision intend
ed to keep liquor out of the state.
The smuggling of whisky and wine into Ind
lana has become profitable business in the last
year. Men with automobiles made it lucrative
vocation to drive to the nearest Ohio city, load
the automobile with liquor, and enter Indiana on
back roads. If caught, the penalty usually was
SO light that it did not deter the guilty one from
continuing the business. Three or four trips,
and success in disposing of liquor bought in dry
territory for So quart and sold in Indiana for ST.
netted the automobilist handsome profit The
amendment to the law proposes the confiscation
of vehicles used in transporting the liquor.
Drastic measures, it must be admitted, are
necessary to break up the practice of smuggling
liquor. When profits are big and penalties light,
men will take long chances in importing interdict-
ed goods. The proposed legislation would be a
powerful deterrent

period OF the relief of the SD d.
vision by the seth division. In most
instances it was the first night the
troops had been in the line; in
practically every instance it was the
first time the personnel had been
under fire.
The orders in force at the time
required troops of the advanced
post position to hold that position
to the death unless withdrawal was
ordered by the army commander.
This order was faithfully carried out
in spite of the intensity of the at
tack and the helplessness of the
troops TO retaliate. 1t was an ex-
ample of courage and steadfastness
deserving the highest praise and the
spirit of the troops was further in
dicated by the fact that they re-
quested to remain in the line and
finish their tour of duty when relief
was proposed.
