Taking II broadly, before the
European war began we exported
about 5000 900 tons OF food a year,

American farmer, plus the voluntary

the allied governments that without
an enormaus increase In our
food supplies their very lives would
be menaced.
"The submarine had so shortened

SMUGGLING BY AIR
Powerful AirpIanes Being Used on
Mexican Border.
Authorities Say That contraband
Traffic Is Carried Across
Rio Grande.

Laredo, Text Is the firm convic-
ton of Mexican customs officials on
the lower Rio Grande border that
systematic smuggling by means of
powerful airplanes is being conducted
between that country and the United
States. The American authorities on
this side of the international boun-
dairy are not yet convinced that con-
traband goods are being carried In
this manner from one country to the
other, although they freely admit that
it is possible if not very probable that
this is being done.
If evasion of the export and import
duties by this means is not already
being carried on it is only a question
of time when the airplane will be
brought into service for that purpose,
it is predicted by custom officials here
and at other places on the Mexican
border.
1t is with considerable circumstan-
tfal detail that the story is told of
the aerial traffic by professional
smuggiers. Jose Longoria, Mexican
river guard stationed at San Ignacio,
about sixty miles below Laredo, made
report to his superior officer about
three weeks ago that while on duty
late at night he saw moving lights
pass high above him and heard the
whirr of a motor. The object was
headed north and came from some
point to the south in Mexico. Similar
reports were made by other Mexicans
who asserted that they saw the
strange aerial machine go back and
forward across the Rio Grande on sew
eral different nights. Up to this time
no confederation of the stories told by
! the Mexicans have come from Ameri-
can river guards.
1t is recommended by the custom
authorities of both Mexico and the
| United States who are on duty along
| the Rio Grande that airplane control
service be established on both sides
of the river at the earliest possible
| time.
