96 QUARTS SEIZED
Drop in Price of Bootleg Rum Causes
 Investigation at New Bedford

New Bedford, Mass, Sept. 16.-A drop in the market price of bootleg led to the seizure on the state pier early today of 96 quarts of brandy. At the same time John Sylvia was ad- rested charged with violation of the prohibition laws. and sailor from the Portuguese steamer Sac Vicente, from which the liquor was said to have been smuggled, was held as material witness. Several men, who the police say were transferring liquor from the wharf to Sylvia's automobile escaped.
 The seizure and arrests were made by Deputy Collector E. B. Henry, who became suspicion of the presence of liquors in the city in large quantities, when the price dropped to four dollars a quart soon after arrival of the Sac Vicente from New York.

THE WHISPERING FLAG.

As / viewed Mr.. MAYORS service at
the P%leasantville cemetery on June 6,
the remembrance of our soldier boys
filled my mind. The wind rustled
through the STARS and Stripes, max
ing it flap and f1utter. To me it sound
ed as if the flag were mumbling words,
whispering, so | wrote the following
about the whispering Flag:
Flapping and futtering in silence
dread,
Flapping and iuttering over the dead;
The field of blue, stripes white and
red,
Tell of the battle days, whispering DER
the dead.
Beneath my silken banner lies
A lad, whose ears are deaf to mourn
full cries, .
A soldier lad who fought for you,
A noble boy was he, that lad,
No better, drawer soldier Gould be had.
In shot and shell on earthly hell
He fought, that we could be both
strong and well,
He fought for you, he fought for me,
An unselfish martyr, don't you see?
Though many, many miles away,
He thought of home till the dying day,
He plainly heard his mothers plea
To God; to only save my son for me.
He waged his way through the battle
storm,
His body saved from any harm;
But when his work was finally done,
The Father" smiled on the soul of
His son,
And sent a misty white cloud down
And lifted him up to the Heavenly
home.
So fiuttering and Tapping
The Stars and Stripes stand,
Ger the grave of the dead one
Who died for his land.
