that Hawker had the right idea. The
only trouble with his flight was that he
had the element OF bad luck in mechan-

his plane down, The element of luck
was with Alcoek and Brown in that they
did not have difficulties Of that sort.

ARRESTS REDUCED
BYlTWo-THIRDs
- rrsa--- .s-a
This is for Drunkenness Only-Arrests
for Other Causes Showed an Increase
Laws Are More Strictly Enforced,
Especially Highway Traffic.

BOSTON, Aug. 9.-Under the opera
ton of the wartime prohibition law,
arrests for drunkenness in Massachu
sets were reduced more than two
thirds during July as compared with
July of 1913, and the police, relieved
from the routine work necessary for
the handling of intoxicated persons,
have been able to enforce more strictly
than in the past laws relating to other
.offenses. This information has been
made public by the Massachusetts,
commission on probation, in behalf of
which Herbert g. Parsons, deputy com
missioner, has issued the following
statement:
1.-THE total number of arrests for
drunkenness in the entire state during
the month of July, 1919, was 2,3l9.
! The number in the corresponding
month in 1918 was 7,21s.. During the
war period, the number of arrests had
I in the state for the year ending Sept.
80, 1918, being 27,453 smaller than the
year previous Returning TO compari-
during July, 1917, was liza. This
may be taken as the normal number
under license Comparing with this
the number during July, 1919, the de-
crease is so per cent. But the small
number for the first month under pro-
hibition would be much smaller but
for the fact that it includes the ar
lrests on the first day of July resulting
ha 1rip ha loo do Of
the old order. making the day phe-
nomenal in the number of arrests; Bos-
ton alone having $50 on that day This
day aside, the arrests for the month
lin the entire state would fall below
n 900 and would probably show de
cline of nearly or quite 80 per cent as
compared with 1917
s'The foregoing figures are fol
drunkenness arrests only. There has
been an increase in the arrests fol
Iother offenses, which is explained by
THE probation officers IN their reports
to the commission, as due to stricte
reinforcement of laws and local ordi
nances by the police. and by an ex
traordinarv number of arrests for VIC
lation of the highway traffic laws. Ar
rests for all offenses, which are report
!. courts in Boston and adjoining juris
ldictions, show that in Greater Bosto
the total for all offenses was 4,405 i,
July, 1919, as compared with 6,40S i
the same month of 1913, and 9.l5l i
July. 1917.

The End in siaht

The inevitable has occurred in the
Winnipeg strike Martial law sue
ceeds the unsuccessful attempt of the
citizens committee to preserve order
in connection with determined eff
ort to create a revolution by an ele-
ment which will not listen to reason.
IL was bound to come for the domin-
ion government would not permit the
city Of Winnipeg TO be destroyed. II
rs, one of the most prosperous mum
icipalities in Canada and, accordingly
offered fertile field for creating dis
sension among w0rkmen for the simple
reason that there are thousands of
men engaged in Industrial pursuits.
1t was the field that agitators needed
in which to spread propaganda of
Bolsheyism.
Now comes the strong arm Of the
highest law in the dominion, the law
which looks not to judges and juries
for enforcement, the law whichis en-
forced with bullets. II is the sort of
law which operates with q rapidity
that makes the agitator think twice
before he urges dynamite arson and
demolition. II Is the sort of law that
is invoked only when municipalities
have lost control of their affairs.
When the water supply OF city,
the distribution of such necessities
as milk and ice, are cut of. when the
lives of the population of city like
Winnipeg are endangered there must
come succor The military of the do
minion can and will police the city OF
Winnipeg 1t is no longer a dispute
between labor and capital in that
city. 1t is fight between the unrea
sonable agitator and those who would
arbitrate. Meantime the soldiers will
administer the affairs of the city &c
the end that human life shall be nc
longer endangered. -Rutland Herald

Not as Bad as Painted.

II may interest such of the state
press as contends that all Vermont
roads are unpassable and horror. to
tourists to be informed upon the
authority of one tourist at least that
our highways are by no means as bad
as some would paint them. A member
of The Herald staff on Saturday de-
voted an hour or more to interview
ing drivers of motor cars bearing IL
censo plates from other states and as
a result is able to say that no such
complaints are made as many news
papers claim.
Men who have driven their cars
from New Hampshire. Massachusetts,,
Connecticut, Florida and Illinois we're
in Rutland Saturday and were told
frankly what some Vermont editors
say about our highways. The reply
TO the question: Are Vermont
roads the worst in the United
States?" was answered substantial
ly in every case by no means"
Among those interviewed was the
owner and driver Of a Marmon tour
ing car bearing the Illinois license
number 26,O95. A Rutland banker
was party to the conversation. The
motorist said Vermont roads are, C,
course not as good as those of Pen
1lsylyanla or New York, but they are
far better than those of Illinois. SHE
told OF a trip made from Wells River
to Rutland and said that motorists
need not complain about the condi-
ton OF the roads as compared with
the average highways in the eastern
part of the United States.
When told that some newspaper
editors in Vermont are contending
that the state is being stunned by
motorists, the Illinois man and his
fellow passengers laughed and sug-
gested that those who criticize ought
to visit other parts OF New England
Are our roads half as good as the
average you have travelled over in
your trip from Illinois?' was asked
the man from Illinois YES, not only
that but they are far above the aver
