The complications that were
bound TO arise from the strict en-
forosment OF prohibition on ocean
going vessels clearing for, arriving
at and departing from United
States ports have taken but little
time to make their awkward inter
national character apparent. The
conflict between British law and the
Volstead act. as now interpreted, IS
well illustrated in the case Of the
steamship President Adams. In
obedience TO a radio command re-
ceived on the high seas, the captain
OF this liner unloaded all his liquor
stores on arrival at Tilbury docks.
He had 4.36s bottles OF assorted IL
quors and 116 cases of ale. and ae

quires one gallon of brandy TO be

had 231 passengers and was obliged
to load Ave gallons OF brandy for

OPERA GLASSES.

From the Ohio State Journal.
DO you remember the time when
every one carried pair Of opera
glasses TO the theater2 Not so long
ago. You didn't feel properly
equipped unless you had your BIZ
noculars along. But of late years
few people have been bothering
with them. A friendly argument has
recently been going on among &C
tors in and out Of the papers as to
the reason. Some hold that Il Is
because modern theatres are
smaller. and hence the magnifying
glasses are unnecessary. others think
that the newer and better methods
OF lighting are responsible. Doubt
less these and other physical rea-
sons all initiate against the opera
glass. But TO some minds there IL
another, more basic reason.
A generation ago the minds Of
playgoers were fixed upon great ac-
tors. They went TO the theater TO
see a big star. But since those days
a quiet but mighty revolution has
been at work among audiences. I'm
der the stimulus OF the Drama
league and other organizations
they have turned their minds TO
plays and the study OF them. With
q large proportion Of present-day
theater lovers the play and not the
star is the chief attraction. The use
OF the opera glass centers the at

break that of his own-a sufficiently
anon slous state of affairs. The
brandy in question was not needed
on the voyage. as there was no sick
ness. and in defiance of all regula-
lions to the contrary It was brought
intact under lock and key into the
port of New York on Tuesday OF
this week.
But that is not the worst. French
law compels ships to carry wine and
ration II to the crews with meals
every day. and Belgian law requires
vessels clearing a port Of Jurisdiction
to carry one quart of wine for each
person on board. How these laws
are going to be observed in view of
the ruling that no ship carrying any
intoxioants is to be allowed to enter
United States territorial waters on
pain of seizure and forfeiture It
passes the wit Of man to decide.
It is true. indeed, that Secretary
MELONS minute of instructions. is
sued yesterday. tends to ease the
situation somewhat, so far as foreign
vessels are concerned. That, how
ever, at best is but a temporary ex-
pedient. There will be no finality
in the matter until a decision on the
merits has been rendered by the
United States Supreme Court.

livery, or as sea stores. It will be
weeks at least before Mr.. Mellon will
permit the foreign ships TO be held

between the lines OF the Secretary
order a determination to wait until
tho Supreme Court of the United
States has acted on the appeals Of
the European steamship lines.
II the Supreme Court should. in
its reading OF the Volstead act, sus-
tain the Daugherty opinion and the
decision OF Judge Hand, then the
President ought to call the attention
OF Congress, as soon as It meets, to
the ridiculous situation Il has Gre
