DON'T You EAT FISH,

why do you eat fish," said a
Captain of dragons at table to a
priest
"I'll tell you. IL you will tell me
why you wear red breeches,
because the commandant orders
It,"
"Well, we eat fish on Friday be-
cause the church commands it,"
"But isn't meat just as good on
Fridays as on any other days?"
Certainly; but let me ask ques-
ton. Why do you sometimes shut
soldier in the lookup on bread and
water?"
That's a punishment"
And to punish our evil inelina-
tions the church commands us to
deprive ourselves of meat
That's all right" said the sol
der, "but you can't deny that fast
ing is pretty tough work"
Very possibly. But it's hard
work to carry steel helmet like
yours"
Eyes. but it defends my head
from the enemy's blows"
well, in the same way fasting
is painful, but 1t defends us from
our worst enemies, the devil and the
flesh.''

BOND FOR RUM SHIP
IS FILED BY HERTZ.
Action Too Late, However, to
Permit Issuance of Clear
ance Papers
MORE WARRANTS OUT

The rum smuggling schooner Thom :
aston and its crew will remain in Phila
delphia until Monday, A $4,000 bond
filed to cover the libel made by customs
officials made its appearance at the Gus
tom House today too fate for clearance
papers to be made out.
The bond, filed by Maurice Hertz,
Camden bother, permits release of the
ship from Government custody. The
boat will not be able to returhto Allan
tic City until next week.
Special Agent n. T. Brook ks admitted
today more warrants have been issued
in connection with the round OF
leaders of the supposed smuggling syn :
dicate. Although Mr.. Brooks would
not state who were named in the docu-
ments, 1t is hinted that prominent men
in Philadelphia, New York and Atlantic
City are under suspicion.
He said the raid made on the Cam,
den Bottling Works, where booze valued
at more than $780, 900 was contiscated
was only the preliminary drag on the
net cast by revenue agents and now
being tightened all along the coast.
Customs agents expect to catch some
big fish" when the net is brought in
Mr.. Brooks declares he doesn't care
whom it produces. "Thc bigger they
come the better it'll be-" he said.
Convincing Evidence Lacking
Most OF the men interested in the
smuggling traffic are known to customs
officials, but evidence which would con
vict in court is still lacking, it is said.
A number of agents are working
along the New Jersey Coast expecting
almost hourly to unearth a huge liquor
anlx II. ~ I,1, 20 he ln
marsh lands near Barnegat Light.
Revenue officers say the liquor is
dumped overheard from the boats at
high water and then recovered when the
tide has gone out.
They have little hope of catching any
more rum runners in that vicinity just
at present. 1t is said smugglers have
transferred their activities to the Mary
land and Virginia coasts recently. Re-
ports have come from that section
during the last few days that a num-
Der of boats have been seen running
without lights between Cape Henlopen
and Fcnwick Shoals Light.
Examination of shipping records has
shown that eleven schoOners, with gaso-
line power in addition to their sails.
have been transferred from Philadelphia
ownership to men living in the Southern
part of the country.
To Investigate Ship Owners
Customs men believe these ships arc
engaged in the smuggling traffic and
will make the ownership part of their
investigation into the booze traffic.
An opinion on the three mile limit
will be obtained from some Admiralty
expert by revenue agents. All express
themselves as being in ignorance of the
exact basis for the law which suppos-
cdly gives immunity from examination
any ship outside tie limit. They be-
licy6 it may have its foundation at a
time when guns were only able to shoot
three miles. Providing shooting dis
tanee is the basis, they propose having
the limit extended.
