CANADIAN BOOTLEGGERS
REA PING RICH HARVEST
F ROM AMERICAS DRY
A n D THIRSTY CITIZENS
STATE THE AUTHORITIES

Ottawa, Aug. 9.-As long as profits
from bootlegglng are what they are
and the only deterrent IS a fine Of
5000 or so, there will be big money
in the bootlegging game and it will
he very difficult for the authorities
on either side cf the international line
to stamp out the traffic.
That is the summary Of opinions
expressed by Ottawa officials as to
the situation regarding smuggling Of
liquor from Canada TO the United
States. Further, high officials of the
Royal Canadian mounted police, say
that while they are doing all in their
power to check infractions of the
federal laws in this respect, it is
really for the American authorities TO
see that liquor does not reach the
thirsty souls beyond the imaginary
line, 5000 miles long.
The situation apparently is that
from three provinces in particular
there is a large trade in bootlegging
to the United States. These are
ontario. Quebec, and British Columbia
At the same time a respectable guam
tity of fiery liquid is finding its way
across from the maritime provinces
and from Manitoba.
At Windsor and in the surrounding
districts the mounted police are car
rying on a constant campaign against
the Illegal liquor vendors, and many
have been hauled into court and con-
demued to ray fines from $500 up.
One parched Detroit man, however,
is said to have parted with $500 for
three cases of Scotch whiskey. which
reached him via the underground
route a short time ago. so that the
to be enormous. Information from
Windsor and districts intmates to
the authorities here that some farm
ers in that vicinity have found It
more profitable to smuggle liquor
across the border than to farm, and
have let their farms run to weeds
while they pursue the elusive dollar
via the bootlcgging route.
Quebec, it is stated, is the mecca
for thirsty thousands of Americans
every week end. and automobiles pass
ing back and forth carry their loads
of human and other freight, bound
for the Sahara across the border. I'm
der these conditions, Canadian police
authorities admit that il is practical
ly impossible to enforce the string
ent liquor laws at present in force.
The chief reason for the difficulty
Of enforcement, according TO an Off
cial of the Royal Canadian mounted
police. who have under their juris-
dictlon the carrying out of all fed
eral laws is the fact that many peo-
pie are not in sympathy with the
liquor legislation, and the securing Of
coutraband liquor is regarded in many
quarters as an achievement rather
than disgrace.
However. If the carrying Of liquor
into the United States from Canada
is to be prevented, it is intimated
that it will have to be done by an
army of customs inspectors and police
on the American side Of the line
rather than in Canada.

Poland's Capt. oil; May
Wage War of Conquest

Tne Russian bolsheviki attacks APP
parently have broken the Polish lines
near the East Prussian frontier, and
soviet cavalry patrols have swept
forward in a great encircling move
ment north OF Warsaw. In the cen
ter Of the Polish front, the soviet
armies all seem to nave torn Il great
gap in the defenses OF Warsaw.
Przasnysz, a city 81 miles north of
Warsaw. has been occupied by the
bolsneviki advance guards, which have
passed on and are reported TO be
approaching Wlama, to the west, ana
Ciechanow, to the southwest. The loss
of Przasnysz is admitted in an Official
statement issued in Warsaw last night,
and it would seem that the soviet
horserien are advancing almost with
out serious opposition.
on Friday the bolsheviki were re-
ported fighting the Poles near Myszy-
nice. near the East Prussian border.
When they broke through is not
known, but it appears they have
gained at least 10 miles in the last
three DAYS. Polish troops have been
entrenching their lines near MeVa'

running from Warsaw T. Danzig 1t

Coincident with the bolshevild ad'
gance on the north, the Polish lines

Soviet troops have forced their way
into SoNow, and are reported to be
fighting east of Siedlce. The Dol
sheviN are said to have taken Pisz'
ca west Of Brest.Litovsk In this
region they are said to have control
Of the road leading westward from

There has been serious fighting and
important successes are claimed by
the bolsheviki.
Great Britain and France are pre-

the bo,sheviki as a consequence OF the
