Booze Thefts Clever
Scheme to Break Law

Recently the newspapers contained
stories of sensational booze robberies
with more or less detail. The re-
ports told about large quantities of
intoxicants being stolen from whole
sale warehouses. Information has
come to The Issue that these stories
are fake publicity barrage to cover
illegal liquor sales and to square the
invoices of liquor on hand with the
records OF the government. In one
case the newspapers told OF many
thousands OF dollars worth of whisky
being hauled away, after the robbers
gagged the Waterman and broke into
a door leading to loading platform
A man familiar with the scene Of
the alleged robbery revealed the fact
that there was no Waterman, no door
and no loading platform such as de-
scribed at this place.
This plan of evading the law is
simple and appears to have been eff

As has been often said, our
objective is not a law but con-

WORK or BOARDS ENDS

New Year Also Saw Retirement Of
Number Of Men Who Aided
Nation During Conflict.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The nation,
facing the problems of the new year,
which will be largely those of recon
struction, set itself firmly to the task
Of getting back to a peace basis.
Dissolution Of several war agencies
and bureaus marked the opening Of
1919 In governmental affairs. Other
boards and committees created for the
war period will continue in operation
temporarily, but with activities more
or less limited.
Two OF the most important war bu-
discontinued were the War In.
dustries board and the Capital Issues
committee. Activities of each consid,
cred necessary during the period
of REIMBURSEMENT will be conducted
through agencies existing prior to the
war.
The Food and Fuel administrations
will continue their activities into the
new year. The forces Of each, how
ever, have been sharply curtsiled and
the work OF each limited to necessary
operations.
The new year also saw the retire.
ment of a number of men who came
to the aid of the government during
the wal and who, now hat hosti.ities
have ceased, plan to return to their
private business.

A~rchangel, Jan. 3.-The village OF
Kudish, on the middle sector OF the
northern Russian front. has been re-
captured by Americans, who pushed
forward their lines two miles south Of
the village in the direction of Vologda,
This winters push, which was
against strong resistance, was under
taken simultaneously with a move
ment southwark by the Allied troops
along the Omega river. The Omega
column rested at the village OF Gogoli.
The ~recapture of Kadish was
marked by some heavy fighting in
which, however, the American casual
ties were light. This village, which
is located about midway between the
Volegda railway and the Dvina river.
was strongly defended and the Boil
sheviki there used their blockhouses
built by the Americans and British
when they occupied the town in No
vember, prior to being driven out by
large forces of Bolsheviki.
Artillery Begins Attack.
Beginning with an artillery attack
the Americans advanced across the
frozen Emtsa river where their posi-
lions have for more than a month
been located in icy dugouts on the
bank of the stream bordering the de-
stroyed bridge at the crossing of the
~Petrograd road. They crossed the
stream and cleared the Bolsheyik
trenches and machine gun emplace-
ments on the opposite bank. The
Americans then pushed forward two
miles to the village, fighting their way
under th~e<protection of Canadian ar
tillery, which was able to place shells
almost at will In Kadish. The fur-clad
American fianking parties in the frozen
swamps bordering on the road con-
tributed materially to the American
success.
The ~recapture of Kadish gives the
American troops a good winter posi-
ton in the blockhouses they have
built. Since the retirement from the
town early in November the troops
on this sector had virtually no shelter,
the front line being unable to build
fires for fear OF the artillery and
snipers on the opposite bank of the
narrow Emtsa river.

Secretary Would Have Strong
%Squadrons On Atlantic and
Pacific Coasts.
PLANS ARE OUTLINED
War Games and Joint M%aneuvers viii
Be Part Of Training Program
to Keep Navy From
RetrogradIng.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Two fleets, one
based on the Pacific coast and the
other on the Atlantic coast, to keep
the navy "ft and on its toes" will
be established by next summer with
war games and joint as
part of a regular program of training.
Secretary Daniels, in explaining his
plans to the House naval committee,
said that after every war there was
a tendency for the navy to retrograde
and that the fleet division has been
determined upon TO prevent any
slump. The plan. he said, had re-
ceived the enthusiastic Endorsement of
Admiral William s. Benson. chief of
operations. who is now IN Europe with
the peace delegation.
An admiral who can stay long
enough to stir up ambition will be
placed in command of each feet, Mr..
Daniels said. and all officers will be
kept on their ships for two years. In
effect, the secretary added. there will
be a war between the Atlantic and
Pacific fleets. which will so stimulate
the keenness that II will make the
men feel they are in actual war"
May Divide Equally.
Mr.. Daniels did not INDICATE to the
committee how many ships would be
In each fleet. 1t is assumed, however,
that there will be an equal distribu-
tion of the capital ships, most of
which horatofcro haya haop Eopt nm
the Atlantic coast. During joint ma.
neuvers the combined feet will visit
each coast SO as to give the people on
the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards an
opportunity to see the full naval force.
MIR. Daniels also told the committee
that during peace times the submarine
bases at San Diego, Cal, Key West.
Fla. and New London. Conn, and the
air defense stations at San Diego and
Pensacola, Fla, would be retained.
The principal training stations for sea-
men will be at Chicago, Hampton
Roads and Newport. r. !.
Secretary Daniels and Admiral Ben
son plan to visit the Pacific coast
next summer to study conditions there
with a view to recommending extern
sion OF navy yards. while other off,
cials will visit Eastern yards for the
same purpose. In this connection the
secretary recommended that congress
wait until its text session before pro-
viding funds for additions to the yards
as the present plants can care for
both fleets for some time.
