MERRY MAKERS
 TO BE QUIET

The celebration of New Years Eve tonight in Bridgeport promises to be a, very quiet occasion. Parties have been arranged in local clubs and hotels, but 1t is probable that the merrymakers will have no such bi- larious times as were enjoyed In days gone by.
 John Q. Prohibition has handed New Years Eve a damaging punch, and 1t is said that Federal agents will be out this evening to see that the 18th Amendment is closely com piled with.
 The Sunday anti dancing ruling will also tend to tone down the cele- brating. In most hotels, clubs and restaurants, plans have been made to stop the dancing at midnight.

BOSTON AGENTS
 SCATTERED IN
 HUB'S BACK BAY

Boston, Dec. 31-Boston and New England will have the dryest New Years Eve on record if plans of pro hfbition enforcement officers are suc- cessful, it was declared today. Fol- lowing raids yesterday along the New Hampshire border. in which S10,0 900 worth of stills and several thousand gallons of liquor were destroyed. Field Agent Harold D. Wilson today turned the activities of his force to prevention of the sale or use of all coholic beverages at celebrations to- night in hotels and cafes. It was his aim thus, he said, to strike both at the source and the retail markets for contraband liquor.
 Discovery by official analysis that one of three samples of liquor taken in yesterdays raids contained 5.6 per cent of wood alcohol caused Wilson today to warn the public against purchase of liquor from "bootleggers.'
 Agents will be scattered through out the downtown Boston and in ex- elusive Back Bay cafes tonight, he said, adding that enforcement would be as complete as the size of his staff made nOSSible.

It appears to be impossible for French minds to understand why Great Britain should maintain a fleet of half a million tons of aggressive ships while denying France an ade- quate fleet of submarines and auxili- ary craft for her own protection. The difficulty in understanding this at utude was reflected in the comment of a high French official today.
 Speaking of submarines, he said, to the correspondents:
 We have said all along that it was necessary to fix the status of these craft before taking up the subject of limitation of tonnage. So we can not see what justification any one can have for questioning our good faith in the matter
 The French delegation at Washing ton, it was said. has instructions on this point, as well as concerning the tonnage of auxiliary ships. Accord ing to the official view here the Washington delegation needs no fur ther directing.
