Capt. Richard G. Hendricks, SUI

rounds for the last few days on
his motorcycle, taking a supply
of oil in the side car.
The ice has been so thick that
he could not get to them with q
boat, nor could he, on foot, car.
ry a sufficient supply of oil. It
is the first time in this state
that a motorcycle has been
used for such a purpose.

LIQUOR FLOWS
ACROSS BORDER
northern Section of Maine Being
Flooded With Whisky
From Canada.
lawful SEIZURES ARE FEW
cones Across Line In All Forms Into
State Which Was Pioneer in "Dry
Laws-Many Ways Of FooL-
ing the Sleuths

Bangor, Me.-The rate at which Ca
madam and Scotch whiskies are flowing
ever the northern border into Maine
proves that enforcement Of the federal
prohibition law hasn't got into Its
stride as yet, for never in all the his
tory Of theoretical droughts have cases
been greener, more numerous or closer
together in this pioneer dry state than
right now, when there Is more law than
ever before, twice as many "enforcers"
and increased penalties.
Trainmen who come down say that
whisky Of all grades and oceans or
pure grain alcohol are flowing over the
border at hundred places, and that at
four principal points the alcoholic IN
yas:on amounts to a flood. These four
points are Van Buren,, opposite the
New Brunswick town of St. Leonards,
on the st. John river; Fort Kent which
has easy access to the Canadian village
Of Clare via a suspension footbrldge
Fort Fairfield, which is but nine miles
distant from the New Brunswick town
of Andover, and Houlton, which is a
near neighbor of the provincial town OF
Woodstock.
Only Occasional Seizures.
Occasionally the revenue officers
seize a wagon or sled load of whisky
coming over the international bridge
from st. Leonards or over the ice at
some more obscure locality, but moth
ing is said about the great number OF
:sbooze" chariots that get by the gov
ernment's lookouts and which keep the
''speakeasies of Aroostook or the bar
rooms of Bangor supplied. Also, the
sSt. John river being frozen good and
isolid for it's entire length, men and
teams can cross anywhere in the rivers
i1OO-mile stretch along the border. so
that, as the revenue men themselves
admit. a standing army with sentinels
every fifty feet would be required to
shut out the flood.
There is so much more money to be
made in bringing in ''booze," even a
few bottles at q time, that hundreds
'of woodsmen have quit swamping roads
and chopping trees for the rum-runnins
business. and ninety-nine In 100 OF
them, knowing the country thoroughly,
lEet by with their goods.

Senator LaFollette today in formally

ACCEPT PLANS
FOR CLUB HOUSE
German American Home
Assn Accept Plans for
$4,000 Building.

Plans for the erection of a $4,000
to $4,000 clubhouse at 565 Grand ave-
nue., were formally accepted at the
meeting at Schlitz hall Monday evening
by the German-American Home Asso-
citation. The meeting was a gathering
of the stockholders of the association,
and it was decided that the work of
erecting the new clubhouse will begin
in the near future.
Officers of Association.
The meeting was presided over by
President Carl Meyer. The other Off
GERS of the association are: F. Schnei-
der, secretary; Anton Hauf, treasurer;
and Peter Thiel, president.
William G. Bloxdorf, one of the most
active of the stockholders, in discuss
ing the plans of the association, de-
clared that the new clubhouse will be
one of the most modern in the city. It
will be built on an absolutely fireproof
principle, and will be equipped with
six bowling alleys, two pony alleys,
shower baths, pool and billiard rooms,
lunch room, dance hall, lodge halls,
committee rooms, etc.
Clubhouse for German Societies.
The site for the new clubhouse, at
565 Grand avenue, is centrally located.
1t is expected that the majority of the
German societies, clubs and associa-
tions will make the new clubhouse
their headquarters and will hold their
meetings in the large hall which will
be built for meeting purposes. There
are approximately fifteen organizations
at the present time who are consider
ing the support of the clubhouse in the
way of making it their home.
The German-American Home Associ-
alton has during the past few years
met at the Schlitz hall, but have found
it inadequate for their purpose, as the
association is showing a very healthy
growth the past few years.

RUSSIANS RATIFY
PEACE WITH POLAND
Preliminary Peace Treaty is Ratified
by All Russia Soviet on
Monday Afternoon.
(By Associated Press

London-Ratification of the pre-
liminary peace treaty between Poland
and Bolshevik Russia was voted by the
All-Russian soviet yesterday, accord
ing to a wireless message from Mos
cow. George Tchitcherin, Bolshevik
foreign minister, explained the pact,
and declared Poland had refused as
sistance to General Baron Wrangel,
head of the anti-Bolshevik government
of South Russia. He asserted Poland
had agreed not to lend aid to forces
of reaction in Russia. These agree
ments on the part of Poland, he said,
were compromise measures which had
been gained at the price of territorial
concessions to the Polish government
