Belfast, Nov. PA. P. by Mail
Discussing the prohibition question
upon his return from the United
States, the Earl of Castlestewart,
who married Eleanor May Guggen-
helm, expressed the opinion that
Americans are a very high minded
and just people and also very for
bearing. =
II think that some Of the citizens
of Great Britain are trespassing upon
the generosity and friendliness of a
great nation in a manner which will
eventually bring with 1t its own pun
isbment," he said. II allude to those
British people who are engaged in the
disgusting and abominable trade of
shipping liquor by various methods
into America.
America may be wise or unwise
to have prohibition and British sub
jects are at perfect liberty to consid-
er them so, but British subjects have
no justification whatever for aiding
and abetting the breaking Of Ameri-
cand laws. It Is well that all should
know that, while many Americans
dislike prohibition. there are very few
Americans who enjoy the spectacle Of
British ships approaching their
coasts to aid other Americans in vio-
lating the laws Of their country

Events in the 'Ruhr are reflected
more profoundly in the commercial
situation in Arizona than in that of
any other state according to p. G.
Salisbury, president Of the Arizona
Industrial Congress. He said this

In a recent address Mr.. Salisbury
stated: ION an average, Germany
bought 333, 100000 pounds Of copper a
year before the war. Her maximum
purchases in one year reached about
400. 900. 900 pounds, or almost as great
as Arizona's annual output. Now
France is not permitting Germany to
export her manufactured products,
with the result that Germany's pur-
chases have ceased.

They rode on up the rocky ravine.
Presently they turned aside from the
stony trail. To one side appeared a
narrow opening, unseen from below
by the curve of the great rock, just
wide enough to admit horse and rider.
A few feet in, they halted, and Plim-
soil turned In his saddle while the
other three men dismounted and care
fully adjusted several rock fragments
In the opening, piling them with
swift care that showed familiarity
with their task, so placing them that

park that lay so snugly back Of the
barrier walls. 1t was an irregular
oval that appeared to curve at the
far end. The trail down was plainly
marked. 1t forked after they reached
| the general level and the branch they
took led into side gulch where a
log cabin stood, smoke coming from
its chimney. Plimsoll took the rein
of Blaze again and they broke into a
canter. At the cabin Plimsoll took
Molly from. the saddle and carried her
into the rude interior. There he set
her on chair. Cookie was busy at a

fee simmering.

she had known instinctively the man
was evil. But she was not afraid.

Plmsoll rather than at him, the
scorn showed In her eyes and bit
through his assumption OF ease as
acid bites through skin, eating its
way on. He burned to wipe out his
own trickeries, his cowardice, his fall
ures, to wreak vile satisfaction on
this girl who sat so disdainfully, with
her chin lifted. her lips firm, oblivious
of him. She baffied him. A mind like

The return Of Butch and Hahn
brought him back to the fact that he
was not playing this deal alone.
While they might allow him some per-

scented so much money.
He cut short Butch's boast of the
way they had scared young Keith.

But the, talk was all of the brawl at
