of intensive rum fighting by the State
troopers. survey OF the liquor enforce
mcnt situation in this State under the
new law discloses these important
facts:
The Adirondack whiskey route from
the Canadian distilleries has been
broken. The dauntless troopers have
driven at least two-thirds of the boot
leggers and rum runners from their
mountain strongholds in the northern
part of the State and damned this
main source of New York city's booze
supply.
Their underground mountain con-
nections broken, the bootleggers have
established a new chain through Ver-
mont. Massachusetts, and Connecticut
to the Hudson River and from con-
cealed hooks and coves along the river
are smuggling their wet goods by big
and little boats to the New York mar
ket.
The campaign OF the State police
force is now centred along the unfre-
quented highways and the river leading
to New York from the Vermont-C Con-
necticut route

Free Hand for Lloyd George

u the overwhelming vote of confidence

program for settling the Irish dispute. Pre-
mier David Lloyd George added another

Quoting the affairs OF the kingdom. Not
only that. but he emerges from tho stream
OF criticism directed at him with renewed
strength for the future in the clear mandate
given him 10 deal with the Irish situation as

demonstrates that practically solid British
support lies back of the governments poll

British sentiment, ready to back tho gov

would dishonor the throne and cndunger

Moreover. it leaves the government free
