GERMANY HELD

DRUG TRAFFIC
SmuggIsrs Said to Have Bought
Vast Stores Left From

Germany is blamed by narcotic
agents and police officials for another
atrocity. This time the Germans are
charged with furnishing most OF the
drugs that are illegally sold to addicts
In all parts OF the United States.
When the war began, according 10
officials. Germany, like many other
nations, had a great store OF drugs on
hand for use OF soldiers wounded IN
battle, When the war was over ana
Germany was defeated. the officials
OF the German government found
themselves with big store OF drugs
on their hands and In urgent need OF
cash. The drugs found ready sale
to a syndicate which was engaged In
smuggling the dope into this and other
countries, and they have been pusy

Vast Stores In Armies.

Every army. II is said. carries
large store OF drugs, and when hostiii'
ties begin the store is augmented 50
that soldiers who are wounded VIII
not suffer any more than can be
helped.
While the war was In progress both
the allies and the enemy had vast
stores OF drugs on hand In the base
and front line hospitals, and many or
the present addicts first obtained their
drug from those places.
According to officials, there are
many cases of young men who served
overseas and acquired the dope habit
in the service.
In addition to the Illicit drug trade
that has it's headquarters in Germany,
several other countries also harbor
syndicates which deal illegally In
drugs.
The Washington times., 1921-11-02

The Government Is having hard
time TO cope with this situation, II Ia
admitted. on account Of the interna-
tional character of the trade. The
situation in this country as regards
the manufacture and sale of drugs, II
Is said. is in good shape and most OF
thu drug manufacturers have adopted
precautions not asked for by the Gov
ernment to insure that none OF their
drugs get out into Illegal traffic.
The druggists associations through
out the country are also keeping a
close check on the traffic In drugs, II
is said, and the chances OF much OF 1t
getting out through them is very
small.

Last Saturday, Pat Hanlon, in the

name was, out to soak into mother
earth. We half expected to see some
of our nearby mountains go on a

that high-powered liquid joy. Some
say that they could detect smile
on the Indians head whose profile
appears on a nearby mountainside.

to be ever watchful If they succeed

GUNNIsON NEEDS

One of the most important needs
of Gunnison is several good, modern
apartment houses. With the con-
stantly increasing patronage of the
State Normal School, there is great
demand for living rooms, and suitable
quarters are at a premium. Apart
ments of from two to four rooms
could be rented to parents of students
who would make Gunnison their home
while their children were attending
school, if not permanently, if. living
rooms were obtainable. Such apart
ments could be rented at a reasonable
price. There are undoubtedly many
families who would move to Gunnison
and occupy these apartments while
their children were being educated
in one of the best learning institu-
tions of the state. Apartments will
solve this problem Who will build?
