NEW YORK, July 29.-When
you pay SIS for a pint of liquor
worth so cents, where does your
money go?
It helps to pay salaries, running
expenses, and dividends of what Is
rapidly becoming one of the big
industries of the United States
the business of bootlegging.
Pint Is Traced.
This 10 the story of one particular
pint of hootch, called Scotch whiskey,
traced to its source up the murky
stream of Illicit liquor which is flow
ing in ever increasing volume into
and through the country.
The pint was bought at a cabaret.
q few doors off Broadway, in the
| heart Of the white light district.
The proprietor charged SIS a pint.
He bought the liquor at $120 a case.
His profit was 200 per cent, or $40
on every pint. He says he sells about
thirty pints a night, on an average
Out of his profit Of $4,000 a week,
he pays $500 for protection" while
other hush money" incidental to his
having the hootch on hand costs
him 5000 more. On an average of
once a week, a genuine raid forces
him to send his supply gurglins
down the sink at no profit whatever.
Protection Cost Ii Awful"
Our pint reached this particular
cabaret in the sewn up sleeves Of a
raincoat carried carelessly over the
arm of furtive-eyed messenger. The
retailer" less than three blocks away,
paid $50 a case for this whiskey be-
cause 1t was good stuff" In genuine
bottles, with real labels and stamps.
$1.67 on the pint under discussion.
But he sells about 500 pints q day, on
good days" His headquarters, thinly
disguised, cost him something ter
rible.' he says, in the way Of "protec-
ton" ...-
Every day or so, trucks drive up to
his warehouse with their liquid
freight. A syndicate, which bottles
the stuff in a well concealed plant not
5000 miles from Times Square, pays
the drivers Of these trucks 500 a
week, 1t pays high wages to its
workmen, buying silence as well as
skin. 1t pays as high as $3.50 and
50 apiece for genuine. non-refillable"
bottles. and a slice Of it's profit goes
to expert counterfeiters Of internal
revenue stamps.
The whiskey with which we are con-
cerned, which was delivered to the
retailer, c. o. d. at $50 a case, cost the
syndicate $3.50 a gallon, Z. o. b., that
is, flung overheard from a sailing ship
in from the Bahamas. The foreign
crew. which had brought the liquor
along at their own risk were content
with a profit of 100 per cent.

were beginning efforts at reconstruc.
ton.
But 1t Is more important to under
stand what is to come than to com.
plain of the wickedness and error that
have been. In that wickedness and
error we have had a large share, but
IT concerns us now more to see
whether our charity is to be used to
load the dice in favor of reaction.
Czarists Are Active.
Opinion about what ought to happen
In Russia can be divided into three
parts, leaving out the views Of Com.
munists, which do not need to be ar
gued.
First. there are the Restorationists
or Czarists. These are now stronger
than they have been at any time since
the collapse of Wrangel. One of the
men being groomed by them is the
Grand Duke Paul, now eighteen years
old, who is at present in Berlin. An
other Is Wrangel himself.
The famine seems likely to do the
Lenin government what its other enc.
mics could not do. and the Czarists are
thoroughly organized to take advant-
age of any opening.
While Germany has been the favor.
lite organizing point of the Czarists,
they are by no means weak In this
country. The activities in New York,
headed by Boris Brasol, Colonel Kra.
pachnikov. and their American asso-
ciates of the type of the Princess Can.
tacuzene. will be found on that side at
the proper moment.
The Democratic Group.
The second group can be called
Democratic or Constitutionalist. 1t Is
the group represented on the whole
by the thirty.two in Paris. although
there are avowed absolutists in that
group. In this country IL is repre-.
scented by Mr.. Bakhmeteff and A. j.
Sack.
The United States Government Is
now preparing to spend some money
directly on propaganda, in addition TO
what 1t spends indirectly through Mr..
Sack. A long anti -Bolshevik report is
at present being secretly printed in
the Government Printing Office.
1t was prepared in England by a
committee headed by very noble lord
for the purpose OF opposing Mr.. Lloyd
Georges trade policy. Senator Lodge.
who is ferocious on the subject Of
Russia, is much pleased with 1t, and
so Is the State Department.
The third group consists of those
who have tried to bring about peace
and trade in Russia to pave the way
for normal evolution. This group has
been thwarted by the governments OF
France, japan, Poland and the United
States, but the most powerful of their
opponents is the famine.
Sees Another Gar.
Although I belong emphatically to
the third group. do not put my head
in the sand. With intensely anti-Bol.
shevik Americans in Russia acting as
rescuers with France and Japan, and,
fear, Poland, still eager to make use
of that situation; and with the Ameri-
can Government full of the same po.
litical obsession, I think the chances
strong that political intervention this
time may succeed.
What 1t will accomplish is another
matter. It's camouflage will be a con-
stituent assembly. the manner Of
whose selection will be determined in
Paris. Before the famine is over and
industry going normally again, there
