j. s. CHECK FOR
SMUGGLING
NEARS

Completely rebuffed by the Cana
dian government, which flatly de-
clined to cooperate with United
States in enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws. the Treasury De-
partment today laid plans for fur
ther advances to the Dominion TO
check smuggling.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Seymour Lowman will con
fer with Admiral r. c. Billiard and
Dry Commissioner j. NJ. Doran
during the week to determine upon
the course to be suggested to the
State Department in the drive
against smuggling.
The Canadian government offered
to make a number of minor
changes in the customs regulations
relative to clearances of liquor
ships, but declined to refuse liquor
clearances to United States.
New Treaty Wanted
Officials said the Government
would not be benefited by these
proposed regulation changes and
that nothing short of an agree
ment to refuse clearances to rum
ships would be accepted.
!, of the extradition treaty so that
Canada would honor acquisitions
for violators of the prohibition
laws. but owing to the unfavOrable
sentiment in the Dominion did not
bring the question up. Later an
effort to get a new extradition
treaty will be made should condi-
tions become altered.
HnId Rut Hone
Canada eventually should come
around to the American viewpoint"
an official told the International
News Service. There is con-
siderable dry sentiment in Canada
and the drys can swing the balance
of power between the conservative
and liberal elements For this rea-
son we are hopeful that the Domin-
ion government will agree to refuse
LIQUOR clearances.
Action of this character, while it
would not stop smuggling entirely,
would be of considerable assistance
to American law enforcement. ac-
cording to officials. 1t would for
one thing permit the prosecution
of Canadian ship operators who
obtained clearances for foreign
ports and then diverted their liquor
cargoes to the United States. %
Also, if the policy were enforced,
It would prevent movement of
LIQUOR to this country in small
boats, which obviously could not
demand clearance for other ports.
Much of the smuggling Is done in
ships too small to navigate the
high seas.

Pastor Says Bible Tips
u. s. to Avoid League

The Bible plainly raises the notes
of alarm on this movement" DR.. B.
G. Wilkinson. dean of theology of
the Washington Missionary College,
declared last night in an address on
the entry of the United States into
the League of Nations. He pre-
dicted rampant paganism and a
final breakdown" as the fate of the
United States should it enter the
League.
Men are afraid of war weapons,
and for that reason are rushing into
false peace movements, DR.. Wilkin-

Benjamin Franklin saw a little

organized there by an act Of the

The newcomers wore white waist

and a three colored hat completed
the uniform which marked the earll-
est forerunners Of the modern Y. >.

Their drums bore the device OF n
rattlesnake together with the words,
Don't tread on me" a motto OF one
Of the first flags adopted by the
colonies. Their leader was guiding
his band through the streets, occa-
sionally stopping when he saw a
burly lad who looked husky enough
to weld a pike o cutlass.

Groups were organized. the roost-
