RUM RUNNERS.
BY
THE BRITISH
(By Dispatch A. r. wire)

LONDON, Feb. e. The
smuggling Of liquor into the
United States by British
subjects was severely con-
demned today in a largely
attended meeting in the
church house under the
shadow Of Westminster
Abbey.
The meeting was held to frame a
response to the appeal recently sent
abroad by the American citizens
committee Of one thousand. An Of
ficiaI touch was given the occasion
by a letter from Sir Austen Cham
terlain, the foreign secretary, in
dicating entire sympathy with the
purpose of the gathering.
The bishop of London who pre-
sided, said the meeting was not call
cd to express any views about pro-
IEOuSIlI
told a great many manufactured lies
from across the ocean about prohi-
bition. There is not the slightest
doubt he said that the Industrial
output of America has increased and
public health improved.
"You cannot think anything of
those silly little fools who swagger
at dances with brandy TASKS. That's
mere bravado," he said. you have
to look at the great broad effect up
on the whole nation"
1t is a gross impertinence, the
bishop continued, to try to undo any
thing that a great sister nation has
chosen to decide for its own good.
Cries of shame" were raised when
the bishop cited official American
statistics showing that in the last
six months of 1926 20 out of "A
liquor ships seized by the American
authorities were British. This traf-
fic is most dishonoring to Britain"
the bishop asserted "We have in
our minds the wonderful rescue
made by the President RooseNelt. let
us make some adequate return"
Sir Austen Chamberlain wrote to
the meetings. organizers:
"I am happy to inform you what
his majesty's government has done
by means of the liquor traffic con-
vention and are doing by all means
in their power, all that is possible
to assist the United States govern
ment in suppressing this traffic, of
which his majesty's government en-
tirely disapproves."
Lady Astor sent letter in which
she said that the British govern
ment more than once had considered
whether it could take further action
to check liquor smuggling. She
was unaware, she said, that the gov
eminent had rejected any practical
scheme. She was convinced that
public opinion would support any ac-
tion the British government felt it
could take to reduce "these discred-
liable activities"

NEW YORK, FeD. q
The hungry Atlantic was
cheated of its prey again
today, the fifth time since
it loosed it's ferocious gales
nine days ago. A brief
radio message from the Bel
gian liner Arminco this
afternoon said she had tax
en- off the entire crew Of
the sinking Norwegian
freighter Johanne Dybwad.
The message said only that none
of the crew was injured, and that
the Arminco was standing by until
the Dybwad sank, as she is directly
in the passenger traffic lane, and
menace to navigation. The DybWad
is believed to have had crew of
about 25 men. &
Last night the s25 passengers Of
the Royal Mail liner Araguaya were
taken off after that vessel had gone
aground near st. George, Bermuda.
The ship later was floated again, the
passengers returned, and she resumed
her course to New York The Brit
ish steamer Ryburn 16 days overdue
arrived today at Philadelphia. A
score of other vessels still are in
danger from the storm, but the day
added no new names to the list OF
those forced to call for aid.
STORM BUFFETS WEST COAST.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2. A
mighty storm was buffeting the Pa
cific coast along more than a thou
sand miles of it's length tonight and
at least one ship was held wallow-
ing and helpless in the tearing teeth
Of the hurricane. The five-masted
schooner Ecola, bound out of Port
land for Japan, with a cargo of lum-
her and with a crew Of 10 and one
woman aboard, was being smashed
about by wind and sea off Fort
Bragg, on the California coast. The
steamers Los Alamos and Noyos were
standing by making desperate at
tempts to take off the schooner's
crew.
Captain Reinar Peterson, master
of the Ecola, which is without radio,
signalled to the watching steamers
today that he wanted to abandon his
craft. At that time she had de-
veloped heavy starboard list and
her destruction seemed but matter
of a few hours.
The light ship San Francisco was
torn from it's moorings Is miles off
the Golden Gate, and had hard
time making port. The pilot boat
Oracle S. was forced to come inside
from a position off the steamer
channel and lost some of her canvas
in the rough passage through the
gate.
No shipping moved out of the har-
Dor today.
The Noyo late tonight succeeded
in passing line to the Ecola and

NORWAY AND THE MoDIFIcA.
TIONISTS

We are somewhat curious to know
what those who are clamoring for
wine and beer, for modification of
the volstead law, in the interests of
temperance II they be permitted u
tell it, will have to say respecting
the recent vote whereby after nearly
a decade form of prohibition has
been repealed in Norway.
All sorts Of compromises and
changes and notifications Of the law
preceded its defeat. One might al
most infer that even the prohibition
lists of Norway were Disguised with
the law as it was. 1t permitted
beverages under FL per cent Of alco-
holic content. The Government guar
anteed the purity of the liquors. It
listened to those who urged that II
beer and wine were cheap and
plentiful the drinkers would not
want the stronger liquors-and ex-
perience demonstrated the theory
false from start to finish. Though
the camel occupied the tent the vets
gradually ousted him and Norway
has not learned to do without strong
drink. However, we anticipate that
1t will not be long before disgust
with the old booze liberties causes
great unrest In Norway.

Editorial Comment
A Splendid Road
press Herald)

lPreSS- HeralQ)
This week az section of the new
cement highway between the Il. d
NJ. underpass and Biddeford, which
is part of the reconstruction of
the kittery- Portland trunk line, will
be completed. 1t is the finest road
Maine has ever built Thirty feet in
width, constructed in three strips of
concrete so that three automobiles
can run abreast, the new highway
Will be as good as any which has
been built in this part of the coun-
try.
In the construction of this road
the most modern and approved ma
chinery has been employed. With it
the contracting firm has been able to
lay approximately 1900 feet of con-
crete ten feed wide in eight. hours.
The rapidity with which this work is
done is amazing. Where it once re-
CURED months to construct a road of
this kind only weeks are now neces-
sary. Construction firms are now
able, because of the reduced payroll,
to give the State much lower prices
than they were able to give under
old conditions and the type of road
that is built is much better than any
they were able to construct in the
past.
1t is contemplated to build the
greater part of the kittery- Portland
trunk line in just the way the two
sections which have recently been
finished have been built. If the
work goes on without interruption it
is believed that this trunk line will
be finished by the end of 1927.
When the work is done this main
h trrt. 1,.f~ To-,
a road as can be found anywhere in
the United States.
Great progress is also being made
on the construction of the road
through the Kennebunk woods, fol-
lowing the new location between the
Biddeford underpass and Kenne-
bunk. This is the road concerning
which there was SO much discussion
earlier in the year. 1t will be a road
as nearly straight as 1t can be built.
There will be no dangerous curves
in it. So far as providing for the
safety of motorists is concerned IL
will be almost ideal. Even those
who We're originally opposed to the
Relocation of this highway will an
prove of it when it is finished, and
the greater number of those who
make use of it are sure to be more
than satisfied with it.
With a highway such as this Kit
tery-Portland road will be when it
is completed Maine will have some
thing unique and well worth while
to offer visiting motorists, and if it
does not result in doubling or quad
rupling the number of automobile
tourists who visit Maine it will be
surprising. Some declare that the
new road will rapidly pay for itself
because of the Increased revenue
the State will derive from the tax it
collects on gasoline. A road such as
this will be will certainly prove very
attractive. Neither Massachusetts
nor New Hampshire will have any
thing better to offer.
