CHIEF INVITES AMATEUR
SHOPPERS TO SNIFF OUT AROMATIC
SPIRITS THAT INFRACT PROHIBITION

Local officers are expected to take
the initiative in enforcing the law in
their territory, and any failure or de-
clination to assume their full RESPONSE
bility will be brought to the attention Of
citizens of the community by officials Of
the bureau.
Mr.. Roper's plans contemplate the or
ganizatien of a prohibition enforcement
staff. There would be deputy com
missioner in Washington in charge of
the prohibition section and deputy col
lectors in each district with an efficient
force. Pending the organization of this
force, employees qualified for the work,
who can be spared from the tax work Of
the bureau, have been directed to CO.
operate to the fullest extent with the
public and local officials.
To prevent delay, collectors and agents
have been instructed to cooperate with
United States district attorneys in OBJ
tanning and presenting evidence.

Before congress finally clineh-

objection the linking the war

White House the announcement
that the wartime prohibition
policy-which was put into ef-

moment the senate formally rat
flied the German peace treaty.
1t was the most definite of
all official or semi-official state

disturbed by the news, for they
had counted firmly upon the
country reaching the date of
constitutional prohibition-Jan-
