''If the Allies insist upon our &C

There exists, however, an organi-
twist and turn Of the trail. Any

down the Dope River" always has
a competent pilot. And the few
shoals and rapids that obstruct the
smooth passage Of the stream-the
official warriors thrown up by law
tirely too impotent as at present
constituted, to embody a real menace
to navigation.
The organization, 1t Is revealed
by Basil Mathews. in recent pam
phlet prepared by him for the
League of Nations, is far reaching
and has centers in all the import
ant capitals Of the world. Powerful
dealers purchase the supply at the
course. dealing In huge consign-
ments, These dealers In turn re-
tail their purchase to the fnterna-
tional smugglers. The smusglers
vend their wares wherever Gus
toner can be found
Meet Secretly TO Trade.
These dealers and vendors have
no tangible headquarters. The
gangs of dealers, however, accord
ing to Mathews, meet habitually in
Berlin. Paris, in Holland, London,
New York, and ether cities, gath
erins furtively in some secret place,
and there dispense their wares to
the individual smugglers.
The business transacted by
these dope peddlers is by no means
a ''shoe string affair. The follow
ing statement by Mathews gives an
Indication of it's volume.

"It is my belief that Harris and

whatever his attitude may be, Miss
Lord will present a strong defense
