DRY AGENTS SUFFER
COLDS IN VERMONT
SOB Packages of Seized Liquor Dumped
During OotOl}er-Morale on
Upgrade.
Especial to The Reformer.)
WASHINGTON Dec Is


WASHINGTON, Dec. is.
The morale of the Vermont prohibition
force is not what it used TO be according
TO recent report received by u. 5. Pro
mbition commissioner Haynes from Yer
mont Director Bert s. Hyland. Cold
weather is what has damaged their eff
ficieney. The unfortunate but not alarm
ing situation is thus depicted by Mr. Hy-
land; THE morale of the agents has
been depressed slightly due to the very
early cold weather which has caused a
number to contract severe. colds" Re
assurance. however. that both the health
and morale of the agents is now on the
upgrade is added by the Vermont direc-
tor.
October was the witness of melancholy
scenes, notes Mr. Hyland. who reports
chat in that month SOB packages of
seized liquor were poured upon the cold
and unappreciative earth. No ceremony
and publicity attended the obsequies.
The Vermont press is not whole-heart-
eddy for the Volstead act However.
with the exception of not more than
three papers the remainder of Vermont
newspapers are strong for prohibition en-
forcement, says the state director.

been occupied, by the nationals. 1t
was the most northeriy point in the
line held by the irregulars and its

One of their most prominent leaders
has surrendered to the nations.
Capture of Tippefary by the Free
State forces is looked upon by the
military staff of the provisional gov
crnment as a stroke of, enormous
strateg5cal value in the general
campaign against the republicans In
southwestern Ireland.
BY the occupation of the town the
free statarsN have been enabled to
straighten their line. and have placed
the frreguiars In the 'Caspei district
in a dangerous position. Caspel is
regarded as the strongest point held
by the irregulars. being the last posi-

de Valera is not in supreme command
