NOTRE DAME AGAIN
WINS OVER OHIOANS
Irish Debating Team Wins
Decision Over Ohio State
in Clash Here.

A sound constructive brief and
smooth team work in rebuttals won
a debate for NOtre Dame against
Ohio State in Washington hall last
night. The y. ID. orators took the
negative Of the question: Resolved.
that the federal government should
own and operate all the coal mines
of the United States Questions re-
garding transportation waived, and
constitutiOnaity granted.)"
From the very beginning OF the
argument it was evident that the
two teams were TO clash fiercly on
three points: the wastage Of coal
under private enterprise. the prof
iteering prevalent in the coal in
dustry, and the confusing labor
problems due partly to an unsteady
demand for coal and partly TO a
lack Of storage facilities. Ohio State
embodied these points throughout
its case, each member Of the team
summing them up at the end Of his
speech: Because of the tremendous
wastage Of coal by the private op-
orators: because OF the excessive
profits being eXtOrted. and because
Of the unsteady employment offered
TO the labOrers the affirmative team
stands for government ownership
and operation of coal mines"
Debate Interesting.
Notre Dame lost no time i'm leap
ing into the fight however, and i'm
med6ately asserted that the import
ant question was not whether pri-
vate enterprise was guilty Of the
three evils. but whether government
ownership was the remedy for them.
Notre Danes insistence upon this
distinction confused the men from
Ohio somewhat. but they evaded ii
by claiming that no other means
could possibly eliminate the evils
of waste. prodteering and unsteady
employment but government own
ership.
IL was this direct clash that made
the debate the most interesting Of
the season. The two teams met
scuarely on the important issues
and the result was a pure verbal
Gsht. The Ohio state aggregation,
consisting of Clarence Grassland,
William Wright and Wilbur Deselm
were vigorous rebutters. their To-
buttals being more impressive than
their main speeches. Tempered by

night. they showed none Of the hes
itaucy characteristic Of Impractical

RUM RUNNING A
PUBLIC SCANDAL
Much Business Done Between
Germany and Sweden

Stockholm, Dec, 2.-Rum-running
into Sweden from Germany has de-
veloped into something like a public
scandal say Swedish newspapers.
The broken nature OF the coast line
and the thousands of small islands
dotting the sea approaches are all In
favor OF smuggling enterprise.
The craft engaged in this trade are
generally small, fast-sailing schooners
captained as a rule by eX-otficers Of
the imperial German navy. Many Of
the shippers bear names well known
In the records of submarine activity.
Their daring and experience makes It
very difficult for Swedish Coastguards
to stop them.
From Reval, Rostock, Stettin, Luz
beck and other German ports these
vessels put to sea- their cargo always
consigned, according to the ships pa
pers, to some Finnish port Once
among the rocky archipelago of east
ern Sweden, the cargo is landed piece
meal after nightfall on the rocks,
from which it is later removed by
accomplices ashore who have wide
ly ramified organization for the island
distribution of the goods
This Illicit traffic is said by Swedish
papers to be enormous. The papers
are full of stirring stories about
smugglers and their dotngs. They re
main outside the territorial waters,
cruising about until their friends seize
their chance to rush out in fast motor
boats, often in a heavy gale, tranship
the liquor and disappear in the dan
gerous labyrinth of the archipelago.
Lately the police have started
scheme to beat the rum-runners at
their own game. The other day a
police boat, camoutiaged as
smuggling craft, boarded a German
schooner and loaded up to the gum
vale from the schooner's hold, UNI
scious of the fact that the schooner
was just outside the territorial limit.
When the policemen tried to leave
the schooner without paying the
smugglers threatened to throw them
overheard and there was nothing for
them but to pay for the liquor.
: In another case, the correspondent
was told, a gale blew up soon after
the coast guards had boarded ship
which happened to be within the
three-mile limit and, owing to the
dangerous coast, the ship had to put
out to sea, taking the Swedish guards
away to Germany
In Sweden and in Finland many of
the coast population get their living
by smuggling and refuse to go fishing
and carry on their legitimate trades
In Finland, where total prohibition
prevails, conditions are even worse
than in Sweden. Fishing there has
entirely ceased, it is said, because
rum running is a far more profitable
business.
