SHIP LIQUOR BY
RAIL Isl URGED
Internal Revenue Commits
sioner to Try to Stop
Truck Hold Ups
NAV EvenIne News correspondent.l

[By Evening News correspondent.l
NEWARK, Aug. 19-The holding
up and robbing of liquor trucks,
which has become such a common
occurrence in this state, especially
in Middlesex county. will soon be a
thing of the past. This change in
tho conditions will be brought about
through orders received today by,
Prohibition Director Charles H
Brown from d. II. Clair, commis-
sioner of internal revenue.
Hereafter all permits issued for
the purchase of liquor or the NOV
ing of liquor from n place to n
other must designate in what man
ner the liquor is to be Ii
it is shipped by railroad the name
of the railroad must appear on the
permit; if by boat the name of the
vessel Is to appear o. the permit;
If by express the name of the ex-
press company must appear on the
permit. The vendor is forbidden to
deliver the liquor to anyone for
transportation except where the
name of the company, firm or per-
son making the delivery corresponds
with the name of the carrier on the
permit.
In all cases possible the shipper
must send the liquor by railroad.
The use of motor trucks for the
transportation Of liquor is discour-
aged. Although the cost of ship
ping liquor by rail may be more
expensive than by truck, the gov
eminent agents are of tn eopinion
that the liquor is more apt to be de-
liSered and not stolen and in this
way the money will be saved.

CONTINUED from page ~

on forty-eight u notice.
The executive said the premier
would feel authorized to take any
necessary urgency measures, but
would not, therefore, delay sum-
moning of parliament.
In concluding Mr.. Lloyd George
said:
The government is sincerely de-
sirous that peace should be secured
and that the long misunderstanding,
sometimes sulky, sometimes savage.
which makes so many chapters of
British history painful reading, mis-
understandings between these two
people who ought to live in peace
and harmony even in affection to-
gether. should be brought to an
end.
Despite disquieting facts I hope
reason will prevail wen over logic.
and the Irish leaders will not reject
the largest measures of freedom
ever offered their country and take
the responsibility of renewing a con-
flict which would be robbed of all
glory and all gratitude by its over
shadowing horror"

49, 'S1
DUBLIN, Aug. 19-The leaders
of the Sim Fein today were center
ing their intention on London,
awaiting the expected statement
on Irish negotiations by Lloyd
George and the governments re-
ply to the recent invitation by the
Marquis of Salisbury. for an Off
cial outgiving on the subject. Mean
while the rank and file of the depu-
ties were engaged in committee
work in consideration of Irish inter-
nal affairs.
The fact hat the Dali put off dis
cussion of the reply until Monday,
as announced yesterday, was indi-
Gated to be u to the expectations
that Mr.. Lloyd George would say
something meanwhile in answer to
cannon de Valera's speech of We'd
ton that some move would be made
to induce Ulster to join forces with
the south.
These, at least, are the reasons
generally accepted here. although
there are Observation-Disclosures
quartN'S which gave expression to
the view that the Dali Eireann was
taking advantage of the opportunity
to get its necessary business in the
open before the ending of the truce.
The danger that exists in the
possible ending of the truce was
called to its attention by hap
penings in Cork which occurred
there. Two Black and Tans out on
a lark Communicated an automobile
belonging to the Republican army.
The members retaliated by kidnap-
ing a divisional inspector of police
and it took all the diplomacy of the
liasion officers to get the affair
