Little Mrs. Durkee became volubly
incohcrent again as soon as We were

CONSUME. MUCH.tIQu0R
Withdrawals: Since ST e. January Re-
!. vea|ed by Revenue Bureau.
-Four Times Amount r:eeded for Mon
beverage. Purposes Leaves Gov.
eminent Warehouses.

Washington Convincing evidence Of
the vast consumption Of liquor in the
United: States for other than non;bever-
age purposes, despite prohibition. is
revealed in statistics of the internal
revenue bureau, showing Withdrawals
Of distilled spirits from bonded ware
houses since January, 1920, to have
exceeded such Withdrawals before the
prohibition law became effective.
~ Government officials are determined
to stop the huge leaks II possible but
plead insufficient funds and Inadequate
working STATS to cope with the situa-
tion as it now exists. The figures on
the withdrawal of liquors show that
from three to four times as much
liquor az Is required to meet the de-
mands OF non-beverage purposes is
flowing out of the bonded warehouses.
The startling figures on liquor with
drawals since prohibition are these:
In January of 1919 for non-beverage
purposes, 919,616 gallons of distilled
spirits were withdrawn. For the same
month this year, 2,1S3,750 gallons were
withdrawn. January Of 1920 was the
first month the prohibition amendment
was effective.
The Withdrawals for February, 1919
and 1920, were 862,314 and 1855
gallons; for March, 1919 and 1920,
982, 604, and for 4,188,9S3; for April,
1919 and 1920, ss4,12e and 3,647,726;
for May, 1919 and 1920, 926,178 and
1888, 1884; for June, 1919 and 1920, $751;
$50 and 3,480,49 for July, 1919 and
1920, 1917, $50 and 4,072,029.
|. Commissioner Williamson, seeing
those figures, set his experts to work
to find out why the withdrawal Of dis
titled spirits from warehouses amount
ed to much more under dry laws than
they did under the old wet system. 1t
was reported to him that about three
fourths of the liquor taken out was be
ing used for beverage and not non.
beverage purposes.

Monkey Bite Fatal.
The strange malady which caused
the Greek kings death resulted from
the bites of'two monkeys on October
3, while defending lis dog.
The Infection which set in following
the bites gradually poisoned the kings
entire system. Professor Vidal, noted
French specialist, who was rushed
from Paris to assist other famous doc.
tors, worked over the patient, but sew
eral days ago declared that In his
opinion only miracle could save the
kings life.
A dramatic international struggle, in
which Europe's most astute diplomats
will name the successor Of the Greek
throne, is expected to follow in thu
wake of King Alexander's death. That
the demise of Alexander will not mean
the fall of the Greek dynasty is indi-
acted by the attitude of Premier Veni
zelos, who believes that the time for
the establishment of republic is not
ripe. y
The attitude of England and France
is expected to be great factor in the

ruler, Prince Arthur of Connaught, it
is rumored, will be the choice Of Eng.

by Premier Venizelos, according to one
report, providing he and his father
