market unlimited, selling 800 a

"sUNK WITHOUT A TRACE.

Mr.. Lasker, the eX-chalrman
of the Shipping Board, says that
"the American passenger mer-
chant marine was SUNK when
liquor was abolished. Foreign
ships still have the preference OF
travellers, because they can dis
pense liquors, while American
ships cannot.
The New York World thinks
that the American passenger ma
rine was sunk when Secretary
Hughes negotiated his twelve
mile-limit- search-treaty with
Great Britain and the Senatt,
ratified it.
p. Before that time American
passenger ships stood on an even
keel with foreign ships in the
matter of liquor. Under the Su-
preme Court decision boats could
carry and sell Intoxicating bever-
ages outside the three-mile limit.
Then Secretary Hughes got
up an arrangement outside of
the law,which was that if Great
Britain would admit an Ameri-
can right of search out to
twelve miles, the United States
would permit British ships tc
carry liquors as ships stores and
under seal, within three miles of
the American shore. This is H..
damage that was done to Amerf.
