notions of what she saw or ala.
So overweight was she by the IN

mind so obsessed by it, that never

10, KO, HO, AND AN OCEAN OF
 RUM

Scout cruisers of the American "dry navy operating off New ork report ed the presence. of twenty-eight yes sels-the largest rum fleet in the his tory of Nhiskey smuggling after making q tour of the visitors, enforce ment officers announced that their car goes aggregated 224,O00 cases valued at eleven million dollars.
 These delectable merchantmen, of course, were flying the British flag. Whether they were actually British is another question. The probability is that at least nine-tenths of the ships and their crews were American gone wet or stil wet. For the most part they were craft of the tub" variety, weather beaten, showing the effects of hard service, motley aggregation of sail and steam vessels that had been gathered by legitimate successors of Captain Kidd to ply in the rum trade
 
 ports. They were in British registry merely as a disguise and their mani fests probably showed that their of ficial destination was Halifax but they never intended to sail any further to the northward than New York.
 Such is the rum trade-a commerce that attracts the finest specimens of American manhood that ever cut a throat of scuttled a ship; daring spir- it's in the game of big stakes; men who have no qualms of conscience regard ing the law of man, some at least who equally have no more respect for the laws of God. Apropos of the Atlantic liquor smuggling business, Kipling might change his apothegm to read; There's never low of Cor or man, runs south of forty-one."
 The increase in size of the fleet on Rum Row gives a hint of the problem incident to the enforcement of the 18th amendment. So long as the British government, which is not in the dry columns, fails to cooperate actively with the United States in it's effort to enforce the prohibition amendment the problem will be with us. Fortunately Great Britain is making some conces- sions, most notable of which is it's as-
Seward daily gateway., 1924-03-22

sent to treaty extending the limit of legal search and seizure to twelve miles fro mthe coast in place of three
 miles, the limit still maintained in all
 other respects. This does not solve the
 problem at any means; it merely makes smuggling more difficult for
 the reason that the dashes of the liq- uor runners must cover a greater dis tance, but England's willingness thus to cooperate manifests a spirit of friendlness which will not be under estimated.
 While the navy scout cruisers were making their rounds on Rum Row, Sir Auckland eGddes, former ambassador to the United States, was informing the Pilgrim society in London that given the American problem, given the American climate he would be prohibitionist.
 "I don't think the people of Eng land recognize amid the mas of stories of violation of the prohibition laws of the United States how strong the feel ing of the best minds of the people of America is on the subject of prohibit tion," he said, adding that seldom had there been a more humiliating position for a British ambassador than to go week after week to see the secretark of state for the purpose of requesting ''the release of this, that or the other British or alleged British schooner engaged in handling stuff which anybody should be ashamed of."
 That is another side of the picture of rum running under false colors. The amenities and the decencies have their place in the regulations between na- tions as we'll as the strict letter of the law, and such statements as those of the former ambassador will serve not only to cement those relations but in time should lead to more practical CO., operation. ~'r @ gg
