Airplane Whiskey.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. How to
combat successfully the efforts of the
whiskey runners who resort to the
use of the airplanc in bringing IL
quor into this country, is one of the
problems to be worked out by those
in charge of the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign.
Ernest H. Cherrington, general Sc
cretary of the enforcement campaign.
already is giving this phase Of the
prohibition question his earnest con-
sideration.
1.-THE menace which these liquor
cases outside the United States Off
er to law enforcement in this country
especially with the airplane as, a We
hicle for bringing it in, is very SER
ious,' says Mr.. Cherrington.
Havana especially, he thinks, will
be the menace and the distribution
point for those who would grow
wealthy in catering to the alcoholic
appetites of the people of this coun-
try after the prohibition amendment
goes into effect, January 16.
There is also small island of
the Bahama group" says Mr.. Cher
rington, (which promises to become
known out Of all proportion to its
size and Importance. 1t lies within
35 miles of the American shore and
within an hours ride by the fast
steamers. Liquor dealers, driven
out of their business in this country
already are preparing to resume
their business there. They also are
investing heavily in bars and hotels
in Cuba and other islands near the
shores of tho United States.
"Airplanes have advanced to that
stage Of perfection where they have
have become formidable implements
of prohibition violation and the air
smuggling would not be easy to de-
tect."
The dry forces, concludes Mr.. Cher
rington, see the need Of campaigns
to make Cuba, West Indies. Mexico
and other neighboring territory dry,
and campaigns In those places will
be begun without delay. he says.

ward with much eagerness to the
moment when l should see for the
first time the rock called Lorelei,
we'll known in song and story. keEtI
my eyes fixed on the right bank of
the river, having in mind Hernes
wonderful poem, based on the Lore
lei legend. l was in a mood to be
fascinated and astounied by some
mysterious freak of nature. When
the rock finally came into view, /
was very much disappointed. 1t is
simply plain bold prec,pitous rock,
about four hundred and thirty feet
high, jutting out into the stream.
There is nothing especially remark
able about it, scarcely picturesque.
In natural beauty, it is far behind
some of the scenery of our dear land.
At this bend in the river the water
is swift and the current irregular and
the boats take on special pilot in
making this bend. Here between the
high cliffs you can hear the echoing
sound of the boat reverbereting many
times. -s--'4
Farther up the river, above the
little town of Caub, noted for it's
slate and mine industry, still partly
surrounded by medieval fortifcations,
rises the castle o. Gutenfels, built in
the early part of the thirteenth CEN
curry by Phillip Won Falkcnstein. A
thing of special interest in Caub is
the statue of Butcher, erected in 1894
at the place where he crossed the
Rhine with his troops December 81,
1914, in the war against Napoleon.
On up the river we pass many more
old castles of the same nature, name
ly: The Pflaz, Furstenberg, Sooneck,
Phemstein, Ehrenfels, Mouse Tower,
and then we come to Bingen. This
ends our trip. Here we turn back.
Bingen is town of about ten thous-
and inhabitants and is located on
the left bank of the Rhine, about
sixty-three kilometres from Coblenz,
kilometre being approximately five
eighths of a mile you can easily es-
innate the distance of the different
towns / have mentioned. Just
across the river from Bingen, on the
peak of gradual sloping ridge is
the national statue of Germany, sur
rounded by the most luxuriant vine
yards in Germany.
1t seems a little peculiar to see
such bountiful crops of grapes here
in a country as far north as. Winnie
peg Canada, or the northern boun-
daries of the Great Lakes. Coblenz
is about ten degrees north of New
York City.
The grape industry here, as far
north as it is, is due to the rocky
soil and the protection of the noun
tains, and Furthermore the nature of
the soil is especially adapted to grape
culture.
On our return late in the after
noon l could hardly realize l had
made trip through some of the most
historical and beautiful country in
Europe.

OUT OF RUNNING
Jayhawkers Have but One Valley Win
to Their Credit


Lawrence, Feb. 14.-Of the six Mis-
souri, Valley basket ball games played
this season, the Kansas university five
has lost five in a row, winning only
the initial game with the Iowa Ag-
gies' series. at Ames. by a 3o-to-17
score.
So far this season the Jayhawkers
have scored a total of 1T points, as
against 201 scored by their opponents.
The Kansas team also scored seventy
one field goals, as against eighty-four
by opponents, while breaking about
even on the free throws allowed on
fouls. Bennett and Matthews have
scored on a total of thirty-five of the
sIxty-two free throws allowed, while
their opponents were scoring thirty
three of the ffty-eight chances al
lowed, the kansans making four fewer
fouls than their opponents.
The Jayhawkers showed a real form
on free throws when they scored 10
points on the twenty-four chances al
lowed them by the referee Apparent
ly the great trouble with the jay
hawker quintet this year is the fact
that they cannot connect with the bas-
ket IN the critical moment of the game
when scores are needed. The team is
now in the cellar position in the Mis-
souri, Valley conference championship
race, as result of this weakness

SPORT NOTES
Haskell HERE TONIGHT
Indians in Effort To Retrieve Early
Season Defeat.

The Haskell Indian basketball five
is in Topeka this evening with every
thought conferred on retrieving the
early season defeat at the hands of the
Washburn squad from the Ichabods.
The Ichabods administered the bitter
pill on Haskell's own court, the final
count being 81 to %.
According to rumors leaking from
the Redskin wigwams the Indians
have been preparing especially for the
game tonight and expect to win. The
dope has it that the Indians are
doomed to another defeat-but bas-
ketbalI games are full of surprises and
sometimes even the stars fail to drop
the ball inside the little iron hoop.
Haskell is not a member of the
Kansas conference and therefore the
winning or losing of the game tonight
will make no difference in Washburn's
standing before the league. But the
Blue boys want to win, say they will
win-and according to Coach Bearg,
that is all there is to it,

RAILROADS ARE
 LOSING ASSERTS DIRECTOR HINES

WASHINGTON, D. C., June B. The railroads of the country which are being operated under govern ment control are not earning suf- ficient money to meet the cost of operation, according to a statement made in this city today by Director Hines.
 Hines declares that the roads will be able to meet their operating ex penses only by increasing rates, but he is opposed to rate increase at this time, because of the belief that it would be followed by an increase in the cost of the necessities of life to consumers.
 The only alternative, in the opin- ion of the director, is to draw on the federal treasury for sufficient funds to meet the deficiency that will result from continued opera tion under present conditions. Hines wants Congress to appropriate enough money to carry the rail roads over until such time as the systems are turned back to their rightful owners.

USED
 re LOCATE MINES
 IN THE NORTH SEA

LONDON. - Sweeping up the thousands of mines which strew the seas in the neighborhood of the British Isles has proved such cost ly and dangerous job when carried on by the ordinary methods, that the admiralty has turned to the air ship for relief. Experiments con- ducted in the North sea, it is an nounced, have been successful, mines being located and exploded much quicker than when the usual mine-sweeping ship is used.
 While the airship has the advan- tage of height in locating mines, the mere fact that an airship cannot hit mine adds so much to the ele- ment of safety that it is expected that much of the 5000 square miles of mine-strewn waters which remain will be cleared without loss of life.

LODGE ASSERTS .. SENATOR'S WERE

WASHINGTON, D. C., June B. In an address delivered on the floor of the senate today, in opposition to the League of Nations, Senator Lodge informed his colleagues that the senate had not been treated fairly by the administration with regard to the release of informa- tion regarding the action of the peace conference.
 He declared that he had seen a copy of the treaty with Germany in a business house in New York city long before members of the senate had been informed of the character of the terms. The copy seen by him, he said, was supplied to the New Workers by American representatives at Paris, and at the same time the same information was withheld from the senate by the state department.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June s. A wholesale attempt to destroy the homes of government prosecutors active in the prosecution of radi- calls, resulted last night in the par tial wreck of number of resi- dences in cities throughout the East, including the costly home of Attor- ney General A. Mitchell Palmer in the fashionable quarter of this city. None of the officials against whom the bomb outrages were directed was injured, although several very narrow escapes are reported.
 The explosions, it is believed, are the sequel to the May Day despatch of internal machines through the mails. It is also believed the out rages of last night are a step in the anarchist movement for the overthrow of the government.

Yesterday evening, R. Stafford, one of the railroad workers on the Fairbanks line, was brought to the hospital from across the river, for treatment.
 Stafford was at work on the grade near Standard creek, when a mass of frozen muck or gravel loos- ened from the hillside came down on him before he could get away, and badly crushed his leg.
 An X-ray picture was taken of the injured member at the hospital this morning, and it disclosed the fact that the bone was broken just above the ankle. He probably will have to remain in the hospital for about a month.

 Official announcement of the plans of the President has not been made as yet, but the information coming from officers of the Presi- dents ship is regarded as reliable.

VICTORIA SAILS FOR NOME WITH
 CAPACITY LOAD

SEATTLE, June 3.-The steam ship Victoria sailed for Nome this afternoon with a total of four hun dred and twenty-five passengers, many of whom are booked for St. Michael and upper Yukon points. The vessel is under the command of Fred Wagner.
 The Victoria expects to reach the Nome roadstead at about the same time as the steamship Senator, which sailed for the North on Sun day, also with capacity load of passengers.
 The departure of the boats, with decks crowded, and many on the docks to see the voyagers off, gave the waterfront much the appear ance of old times, when full lists for Seward peninsula were the rule rather than the exception. Travel toward the North is heavier this season than for several years, both for Nome and for ports in South eastern and Southwestern Alaska.

STRIKE CALLED
 IN VANCOUVER |S
 NOT 4 SUCCESS

VANCOUVER, B. C., June B. Contrary to expectations, general strike has been called in this city, the order to walk out having be- come effective at noon today. The strike is general in name only, how ever, for the reason that a number of local unions refused to join the movement and others have been ex- empted, with the result that busi- ness is progressing very much as usual, and the belief is general that the tieup will be of short duration.
 British Columbia coast seamen, longshoremen and shipyard workers have responded to the call, but the postal workers refused to walk out, Bakery and milk deliverers, mem- bers of the police force, city fire men, and hotel and restaurant en- ployes were exempted by the strike committee, and the telephone and telegraph workers are unaffected. ~
 There is possibility that t'.e street carmen will go out at mid- night, but a definite decision on this point has not yet been reacne J, the men having deferred action un- til later in the day.

EXCHANGED, June 3.-The loss of important positions and inability to check the steady forward move ment of the Allied forces in North Russia has had the effect of under mining the morale of the Bolshevik soldiers, and assertions to the AL lied armies are growing in number steadily. It is believed that many more would quit the ranks of the Reds but for the fear of torture and death in the event of their fail use to reach the Allied lines.
 Recent activities on the part of the American engineers resulted in advances in the Vaga section, where strong Allied positions have been established.

 HONOR" OF SLEEPING
 IN BEDS OF ROYALTY

BRUSSELS.-An American mis- sion on economic questions which arrived in Brussels recently is quar- tered at the Hotel Astoria. During the German occupation this hostel ry was requisitioned by the German high command; famous generals and members and heads of royal and imperial families dwelt in it during their occasional sojourn in the Bel gian capital.
 When the four members of the delegation assembled for breakfast on the day after their arrival, one excitedly informed his associates that he had slept "in the room for merly occupied by Ludendorff." He appeared surprised because no en- thusiasm was displayed by the oth- CTS because he had had the "honor" of sleeping in the bed where the one-time chief of staff of the Ger man army must have spent many sleepless nights.
 It transpired that all the party had occupied rooms wherein either royalty or fame had dwelt. Hin denburg, Prince Rupprecht of Ba- varia, and the crown prince had had the honor of having their for mer beds. occupied by American cit izens.

PETR0GRAD HAS BEEN TAKEN BY
 FINN SOLDIERS

COPENHAGEN, June 3. - The city of Petrograd, long the strong hold of the Bolsheviki leaders, has been captured by the Finnish forces, cooperating with an Es- thonian army. Details of the cap ture have not yet reached this city, but the news does not come as a surprise, as it has appeared certain for several weeks that the advanc- ing armies would be able to drive the Red Guards from the ancient capital.
 That the Bolsheviki leaders en- tertained little hope of retaining their hold on the city was indicated some time ago, when orders were issued for the departure of the civ ilian population, followed quickly by wholesale exodus.
 It is expected, now that the men, ace of Bolshevism has been re- moved, that many of the former residents, not in sympathy with the Lenine-Trotsky movement, will re- turn to the city.
