SMUGGLERS RUN WILD
Traffic Carried on Huge Scale on
German Border.
Customs Officials Are in Plots and
Government Is Unable to
Check Evil.

Notwithstanding over the Dutch
and Danish frontiers, which the Ger
man government had gone to great eff
fort to suppress, again is fourishing
ION colossal SCALE" and at some
points with the full knowledge and
connivance of many government Off
cials, according to reports reaching
here.
Smugglers are declared to be out
bidding the government for the aid
of dishonest officials, and the "ver-
liable army of customs officers on the
borders have permitted millions Of
marks worth of tobacco cigars, ciga-
rettes coffee and sugar to cross the
border duty free within the last few
months"
Flying squadrons of customs officers
have been organized by the govern
ment to catch the smugglers who are
said to have so thoroughly system
atized their operations that customs
receipts are rapidly falling back to
nothing, for custom control is again
only on paper"
Fifty CnOuSanu poulluS ol colee are
being smuggled over the border daily
at one point, report says, and SNUG
glers everywhere are working with the
sympathy and assistance of all dwell
lers along the frontiers.
Men, women and even children, are
said to be engaged in this trade. High
prices, low wages of customs officials
and the deprecated value of the mark
is credited as one of the principal
causes for the widespread violation !
of import and export regulations.
The smugglers are described as be-
ing so well organized and so conf.
dent they carry on their business ''by I
land and wholesale scale, and quite
openly"
