Premier Poincare

eve Of his departure for London to
discuss PREPARATIONS and other knotty
allied problems with Mr.. Lloyd

whether. he was going to take golf

The questioner, an intimate friend

to the now famous game of golf be-

pict the former French premier in
attempting to drive, but actually
giving a fine reproduction of wood

French newspapers, causing a con-
siderable uproar of laughter. More
over, the fun produced by the photo

the failure of Brands viewpoint at
the Cannes conference, resulting in
the downfall of his ministry.

'TEUTONS NOW FEAR
NATIONAL DRY LAW

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-(By the Asso
ciated Press eGermanys heart may
never change sufficiently to adopt
prohibition voluntarily, but the feel
ing seems to be growing in various
quarters that economic necessity
may ultimately drive the fatherland
into a place alongside the United
States. 80
Economic authorities are drawing
attention to the fact that the work
ers are finding themselves increas
ingly harassed by high prices and
relatively low wages. The prohibit
ton Issue, they assert. thus prom.
ises to hinge upon the inclination
of the individual, since the govern
ment's spirits monopoly is recog.
nized as one of the nations chief
sources of revenue, fact which
would loom. large with the country
as a whole in the question of wiping
out the alcohol industry.
Among the. anomalies pointed tic
as facing the Germans is the fact
that by necessity many still eat the
dark brown war bread, while the
latest statistics show that nearly
66,000,000 Kilograms of grain and
other meal stuffs are used annually
by the distilleries.
Medical experts attribute the re
appearance Of scurvy in Germany tC
the scarcity OF potatoes, and eco
nomic experts note that more than
4S3,000,0 600 Kilograms were used fol
distilling purposes in 1919, the last
year for which such statistics are
favorable.
Spirits are increasingly in demand
for industrial purposes, and the gov
eminent is said to be inclined tt
support this departure for the sake
of reducing the importations Of fuel

Coupled with these features of the
situation is the high price of drinks

PHANTOM RUM PIRATE SHIP
OUTSIDE GOTHAM HARBOR
TERROR TO SMUGGLERS
Joshes Prohibition Navy by
Day. and Staying Safely
Outside the Twelve : Mile
Limit

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Presence
in outer New York harbor of a
phantom rum pirate, which pounces
on liquor smugglers by night and
ioshes the prohibition navy by day,
was revealed to customs officials
when. the United States rum scout,
Taylor, returned today after trying
| for a week to capture this modern
Captain Kidd.
The name Of the craft is un-
known. Her lines were described as
those of a high-speed cruiser over
60 feet in length and propelled by
two noiselessa gasoline motors.
The pirate captain is said to be
a daredevil. His crew of eight is
an armed gang of reckless outlaws
who carry automatic pistols and
drink Bahama whisky.
Their craft hovers just outside
| the 12-mile limit, at the end Of the
ocean lane Travelled by tugs, schoon.
ers, trawlers and yachts, engaged
| in hauling liquor from Nassau,
Bahamas and St. John, Nova SEQ
| tia, to New York and New Jersey
customers. .s
An instance of the pirates meth
DDS was recited by a member of the
Taylor's crew as follows:
A smuggler's craft was anchored
outside the 12-mile limit, waiting
for the speedy harbor launch to
transfer it's cargo of imported liquor
| to waiting bootleggerS ashore.
| Suddenly the pirate ship appear
| ed. Her skipper boarded the anchor
! cd a
currency and bargained for 200
cases Of whisky. =
| When the liquor had been trans
ferred from one vessel to the 9th
err, the pirate stuffed his roll away
and leaped aboard his own craft.
The .victimized crew ran for their
| guns. When they returned they
found themselves looking into the
| muzzles of eight automatic pistols,
as the mystery ship silently dove
away.
| This quick disappearance act mas
earned the pirate ship the name OF
Pelican" lis was said.
! Numerous small ships, engaged in
legitimate coastwise trade, have re-
ported that they were boarded by
husky crew. When their cargoes
were found liquorless, the huskless
clambered aboard the pelican" and
| made a quick getaway.
| Captain D. S. Mcdonald, of the
| Taylor, reported having seen the
Pelican" several times, but never
once did she venture inside the IL
mile limit without whisking away
to safety when the Taylor appear
| ed.
| Sometimes, said Mcdonald, the
Volstead Captain Kidd would shout
| an invitation to the crew of the
rum chaser to have a drink. AT 9th
i err times the crew would line the
rail-at a safe disrance-drinking.
In this respect the pirate crew
fares better than the crews OF most
smugglers, where, according to rev
i enue officers, bottled beer is car
ried for the sailors, so they will moi
be tempted to break into the more
valuable whisky cargo.
Edward Barnes, assistant solicitor
to the collector of the ports, today
declared his department Is plan
ming drastic steps to prevent rum
smugglers from gaining firm foot
ing.
That the traffic is meeting strong
opposition was shown in recent seiz'
ures of the prohibition navy, which
now total over 100000 bottles and
100 barrels of whisky. with 25 YES
sells confiscated.

GAIN FOR DRY IN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The claim
that gains are in prospect for the
dry forces in congress as the re-
suit of the primaries held to date,
was made tonight in a statement is
sued by Wayne 3. Wheeler, general
counsel of the Anti-Saloon league.
Seventeen states, not counting
Kentucky, have held primary cleo
TONS" he said. Thirteen United
States senators have been nominated
in IL states; two nominations being
made in Pennsylvania. Nine sena-
tors have been renominated, seven
Of whom have stood for prohibition
enforcement and two against It. OF
the four new nominations all stand
for enforcement Of the eighteenth
amendment. L
"In the II states, 1873 congressional
districts have nominated candidates.
One hundred sixty-three congress
men have been renominated, of
whom 1913 have voted for prohibition
enforcement legislation and rs
against it. OF the new nominations
about one-third are considered wet
or doubtful.
"In many Of these states the
dominant issue in the campaign was
a beer and wine amendment to the
national prohibition act. The vets
have about held their own in the
wet district. Only one dry congress-
man has been defeated by a recog-
nized wet candidate. On the other
hand the drys have made gains in
both house and senate. In some dis
tricts the vets have not polled more
than 5 per cent Of the vote. In Mis-
souri, with the dry vote divided
among four candidates, Mr.. Sacks,
the beer and wine candidate, was de-
feated by a large majority by Mr..
