lucky ~distilling firm Of six carloads of fwhiskey to
a British Columbia dealer. This shipment has just
been seized at Portal as it was about to be shipped
across the border.
It is represented that this liquor is intended for
medicinal purposes If that is true it does not fall
within the scope Of the prohibition clause, for that
clause deals only with beverages. The size Of the
consignment, and its destination, may arouse some
doubts in the minds of the c%aptious. Fifteen thous-
and gallons is quite a lot, and British Columbia has
not a very large population. Still, it is possible that
the climatic conditions there can account for the
use Of large quantities of spirits incidentally.
On the other hand, there are stories Of all i'm
|mense traffic in liquor for other than beverage pur-
poses from Vancouver to Seattle. 1t is reported
that the. transportation of liquid refreshments from
the Canadian city to the Washington metropolis is
keeping in commission a large fleet of craft on the
waters of the Sound, and is giving employment to-
men enough to provide personnel for a navy Of con
size. There is just the possibility that a
medicine manufactured il, Kentucky and sent >as
such to British Columbia finds its, way across the
line again to Seattle as plain booze.

ting The real body Of the
moss, the fibro-vescular skeleton, is
a long, slender. horsehair-like thread
extending the whole length of the
plant. The moss is piled in heaps
on damp ground. or in water, and is
covered with thin earth. It's slow
combustion generates sufficient heat
to burn off the outer bark, and a mass
resembling horsehair is left. The
time allowed for a heap to complete
its rOtting process varies-depending
on the owners hurry to sell it. At
the end Of 80 days much of thu hull
Or bark has disappeared. and the
moss has grown dark. At this stage
it is known in trade as gray moss"
The longer it is left in the rotting
pile the blacker it becomes, and the
more it is worth. 1t Is not profitable,
however. to leave it more than three
months. The bulk and weight dimin-
ish as the rotting process is length
ened, and though the price per pound
increases, there are fewer pounds.

APPROVAL, BUT THAT'S ALL.

The American department of state expresses
its unequivocal approval of the Allied proposals to
insure the freedom of the Dardanelles and adjacent
waters. 1t refrains very discreetly from any ex-
preston of opinion of the territorial issues involved.
So far as the public is informed the United
States occupies a very comfortable position with
reference to the situation in the Near East. We
desire the freedom of the two seas in that vicinity
and of their connecting waters. We believe that
religious minorities should be protected in the exer-
else of their faith. We hope that there will be no
massacres, no wars. and no unpleasantness of any
kind. We approve heartily of whatever our friends
do to insure these desirable conditions. And we
are not exerting ourselves in the matter at all.
1t happens that events have been in progress
which threaten the boiling over Of the eastern pot
which is always simmering. Many thousands Of
the members of one religious minority have been
killed like sheep.
Turkish forces have approached the OAR
dane1les with the avowed intent of taking posses
sion and making them, as they were before, a Turk
ish private possession. These things are Distress
ing, but it seems that the best that we can do is
to hope that our friends the British, French and
Italians will be able SO to adjust their own little
differences that they will be able to handle the
eastern situation in a becoming manner.

TO KEEP WITHIN THE LIMIT.

There can be no question Of the ~propriety Of
the ruling of the state department that agents of
the prohibition enforcement force must con6ne
their operations to the territory of the United
States and the three-mile strip of water surrounding
it. For some reason which does not appear, agents
of the enforcement body assumed that they might
carry on their operations twelve miles off shore.
The authority for this was not stated, and on its
face the claim of authority on the waters of the
open sea was absurd. The state department rules
definitely that there is no authority for it, and that
our agents must keep within our own waters except
when it is established that ships at sea have them
selves invaded the t:ree-mile limit with their own
crews and boats, thus bringing themselves techni-
cally within the limit.
Attempts to enforce our laws where we have
no jurisdiction, no matter, how excellent the laws
themselves may be, can lead only to unpleasant
complications, and to ultimate humiliation.

! COLLINS LOVED DOGS.
Belfast.-1t is recorded tina in the
midst of all his pre-occupations and
anxieties Of the past six years, the
late Michael Collins found time to
keep up his one great interest outside
the establishment. of the Irish nation.
This was the breeding Of his be-
loved Kerry Blues" a type Of dog
that has become very popular in the
past year, or two. Even when on the
run and later during his bitter fight
with De Valera, Collins is said to have
found time occasionally to attend to

 The new evening dresses in the Regent Street windows are entirely minus a back. and a cord of white silk has taken the place of a wider shoulder strap. The materials in vogue are dark shades and p1rpla, and heavy silks and satins will be almost the only materials used.
