hol bearing the Government seal, six
large cans of alcohol. two cases 4
Jamaica rum, two cases of essence OF
gin, one case of coloring (the stuff put
into hooch to make 1t look like rye),
1000 empty gin bottles. 500 packages
of counterfeit Gordon Gin labels and !
mixing plant.
While this assortment was being
carted away scores of persons stood by
and gazed at the rum sleuths as detec-
tives at Police Headquarters scrutinlze
prisoners in the daily lineup to assure
future identification. Only one mar
offered resistance and he subsided when
Agent Mike Kelly, the Jack Dempsey OF
the Volstead forces, knocked him fiat
with one sock There were no arrests
because nobody could find out who
owned the premises.
The bootleggers' curb has been operat-
ing for almost two years. but never has
been raided before. Its business Is
done by word of mouth and on a strictly
cash basis. Commissioner Day believes
the "brokers" were getting ready to OPP
crate big producing plant as well as q
hooch exchange.
While the raid was in progress most
of the neighborhood lined UP on the OPP
posite side of the street. many of the
onlookers weeping. The seized goods

Spring Due To-day Must
Beware of Frostbites

c PRING was scheduled 10 trip
y lightly into this latitude at
4:49 o'clock this morning. but
the Weather Bureau suspects her
toes may be nipped so badly she
may have to postpone the tripping,
for the forecast calls for colder
temperature and northwest gales.
The last day of winter did not
seem to know whether IL should
be one thing or the other, and was
a little bit of both, achieving a
spring temperature of 81 in the
afternoon, raining some, misting
some, emitting flashes of sunshine
and in the early morning holding
up a little fleet of liners and
freighters with an evanescent fog
thick enough to force several skip

ling the Convention,
The foreign delegates left an indelble
impression as they pleaded for America
and Canada to make good with Prohi-
bition. Their earnest pleadings left no
doubt as TO our responsibility and OPP
portunity We must make good or
Prohibition will be held back for years
and possibly generations. The faith and
hope of foreign delegates left an i'm
preston with me that will abide
through all my days and / am sure it
so impressed all who attended the Con-
vention. The tahleaux were wonderfully
impressive. How eminently Ben Spence,
host of the Convention, was a success,
is beyond words to express.

The Toronto Convention of the World
League Against Alcoholism was a most
remarkable demonstration of interna-
tional cooperation in the solution of a
great moral, social and economic ques-
tion.
The single fact that the representa-
tives of 66 nations actuated by altru-
istic motives were brought together in
harmonious conference marks new era
in world progress. / believe that much
good will result from this Convention
not only in the furtherance of the Pro-
hibition movement as such, but in help
ing to link together the nations of the
world in other righteous causes.
The one thing that stood out pre-
eminently was the fine spirit exhibited
by the delegates regardless of race or
religion. The reports from the various
countries were indeed encouraging, but
at the same time presented the need of
real aggressive campaign on a world
basis.

sity of origin, home environment and
languages third, for its optimism and
enthusiasm; fourth, for the thought and
efficiency shown III the arrangements for
the Convention. No one privileged to at
tend and get saturated with it can ever
forget it. Its influence will reach the ut
most parts of the earth and bear fruitage
in ever increasing measure until dry
world comes.
The Canadian situation as pictured
was wonderfully inspiring. Canada will
not remain seyen-ninths dry and A com
pletely dry Dominion will soon fortify us
on the north. Mexico is evidently full of
unexpected promise, while South Amer
lea is astir, never to sleep again. In
New Zealand victory seems assured next
week. The leaven is working in Scot
land and Great Britain. India is prepar-
ing for the harvest and Sweden will as
suredly reap full fruitage next time.
With Iceland and Finland already dry
Norway and Denmark will soon follow
Sweden.
In short, my firm impression from the
convention is that all the nations will
soon go dry, one after another, as did
our states before the adoption of the
Eighteenth Amendment.

My impressions at Toronto can best
find expression in the character OF the
addresses, the spirit of the delegates, the
delegates themselves and the practical
results.
Cherrington's address was one of the
greatest ever delivered on any subject,
and should be circulated all over the
world. Anna Gordon's account of the
White Ribbon movement in relation to
world Prohibition was thrilling, Salce-
by's plea to save the nations from race
suicide through booze can never be for
cotton. Bishop Cannon's reasons for the
Churches part in the Prohibition battle
were unanswerable. Congressman Coop
er's speech on organized labor and Pro-
hibition should be read by every citizen
of the world. Prof. Hcrcod's address on
what wine-drinking countries are doing
to make the whole world wet was start
ling in its disclosures. Clifford Gordon's
story of what Prohibition has already
done for America was wonderful. Mrs.
Livingston's appeal was one OF the great
est ever delivered in Prohibition gath
ering. The account of L. c. Drury,
Prime Minister, as to the transition Pro-
hibition has made in Ontario was as one
speaking by authority. A. o. Cookies
showing of the miserable failure of gov
eminent control of the traffic in British
Columbia was significant. The addresses
of Baker, RUSSELL Wheeler, and others,
were proof OF the fine equality OF leader
ship the dry forces have had in the
United States.
The fellowship among the delegates
from nearly every land was remarked
upon by many. The wild scenes of en-
thusiasm at the Saturday night banquet
as delegates from 50 different countries
arose as their respective countries were
called will never be forgotten. 1t seemed
like a revival OF Pentecost OF old. The

all who were there, and stimulate to
harder work and fighting and encourage
to greater sacrifice in service, as it has
quickened faith in the final adjustment
of alcoholic liquors from the earth.
The net result of this interchange Of
experience by national and world lead
ers, and consultation as to the best
methods to be used for complete over
throw of the gigantic evil, the alcoholic
liquor traffic will be, ! believe, the
,,shering in of an era of closer coopera-
ton and union OF effort by all organi-
cations which will greatly hasten the
final triumph of a world freed from al
coholism.
