In another letter written to Pres

made sensational charges Of "Prus-

reiterated his assertions and called

Despite ''the pleas of horror

complained of "brutally murdered
American forces" Maj. Wheeler
Nicholson declared. high officers Of
the American army were retained in

These men know the Florida
coast line as no revenue agents

and Crevice in the coastline. They
go out apparently to fish and when
night falls, they make their way
to the liquor port.
Most of them go to Cuba. The
situation there makes smuggling a
pleasure-not a risk. Government
officials there realize big revenue
from huge liquor expectations.
They are not likely to curb the
traffic. Then again, cabinet officers
here can find no way of appealing
to Cuban authorities on a common
ground to help stop the traffic. The
Cuban Government mas no prohibi-
ton law and there is no reason
why she should be asked by the
American State Department to en-
