in the war. today submitted his resi-
gnation as a members Of the Amer
lean legion San Francisco post No. l,
on the ground that he could not ap-
prove of the legion's attitude regard
ing soldier bonus legislation.
Gerstle's letter Of resignation said
that while he heartily approved a
generous bonus for ex-service men
who were wounded or disabled he
did not approve of IL for all veterans.
The major declared agitation for
the bonus legislation was a contra
vention OF the legion's constitution,
and IAN autocratic attempt on the
part of the legion to use its political
power
Major Gerstle said that the men
who fought for America in the war
had done no more than their duty
as citizen and that he believed many
OF them would be "insulted" at any

PLAN COMBINED RAIDS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Prohibi- :
tion Headquarters awaited the night
reports from Florida of what was
said to be the first dry law air raid
at sea with the Inauguration of land,
water and air warfare against rum
smugglers along the southern coast.
Commissioner Haynes said he had
not as yet received a report from
Miami of the seizure of the British
schooner Annabele with a cargo OF
liquor off Jewish creek by airplanes
of the prohibition forces, but added
that advices of the squadren's initial
flight might reach headquarters to-
morrow. Mr.. Haynes and other high
prohibition officials were reticent
concerning the mobilization of air
forces to combat liquor runners, in
dicating that they would prefer to
discuss the new plans when they
know that the machinery Tor the
concentrated campaign is working
smoothly.

Testing southern waters.
With airplanes as swift raiders to
swoop down on rum runners stealing
toward the coast the prohibition au-
thorities were understood to plan
patrol of submarine chasers from
Maine to Key West which could spot
the blockade runners and either relay
reports OF their location to the planes
or make seizures themselves.
Many intricate questions OF inter-
national law may arise from the use
of airplanes and submarine chasers
by the prohibition forces, officials
declared, because of the rights of the
nationals involved in the boarding OF
ships at sea. However. it is under
stood Commissioner Haynes has gone
thoroughly into the various legal
phases of the problem before putting
his combined forces into action.
1t was not known here tonight just
what circumstances had surrounded
the seizure Of the schooner Annabele
which was said TO be under British
registry. Seizure of foreign vessel
outside the three mile limit might
result in international complications
if the foreign government was dis
posed to make representations to the
state department, it was said. On
the other hand, several vessels of APP

cargoes of liquor in the past few
