" Actiities of Preventivé Force and Co-operation of +. Ottawa, -- Prevnetive measures 'against smuggling in Canada haye weurbed immensely the activities of unlawful persons, The operatiofiy of the customs, preventive service, coupled with the co-operation ot the courts in the stiff sentences now imposed on those guilty of smuggling, have restricted the {ill- icit import of commodities ins Canada, with the result that smugz- gling does not now present the pro- blem it did several years ago. This was the general conclusion ex- pressed by F. W. Cowan, chief of tha customs preventive service. when asked as to the situation in that respect throughout the coun- try. "Our big problem to-day," said Mr. Cowan, *is liquor smuggling in the Maritime provinces. We have recently doubled our patrons in Cape Breton, and within the past few weeks several seizures have been made. When you consider that we have a coastline in that part of the country extending be tween two and: three thousand miles you will appreciate-the pro- blem it presents. Add to this the fact that the 'jumping-off' place for the liguor smugglers is right at our front door, on the islands ny enti for Nlelchers.

This was simply (he rich man's 'method, he said, and was so highly expensive a way of securing the "goods" illegally that it would not censtitute a problem. It had been reported, however, that wealthy smugglers were employing alr- planes to scout along the shores of the St. Lawrence in order to spot . government patrol vessels. Such being the case the depart- ment were considering the adop- tion of counter-measures, and might employ seaplanes in this connection. There. was some air- plane smuggling in the "western provinces, also, but on the whole the amonnt of stuff transported hy this 'method was small. It was also attended by grave risks to the air- smngglers themselves, The situation on the Pacific coast was well in hand, Mr. Cowan said. There the chief problem had been one of combatting smuggling of narcotics, The measures adopted to meet this menace--heavy sen- tences, coupled with deportation. meted ont to Orientals engaged in the traffic had had a salutary ef- fect.

Re- cruiting will 'start soon. The sul- diers, when on' active service, wii wear green uniforms and steel hel- 'ments patterned in the German style, During the Civil War which fol- lowed the signing of the treaty 'with Greéat Britain, creating the Irish Free State, the newly con- stituted government called for volunteers with the result that at one time the National Army reach- ed a strength of 6,000 men and of- ficers. The rester now embraces 502 officers and 6,474 men but the Ministery of Defence is cutting it down to 500 officers and 5,000 men, More emphasis is to be placed on the organized reserves which will be based on the British sys- tem of, territorials. The reserve army will draw its officers from Irish colleges. The German style of "tin hat' was adopted after exhaustive tests with the American, British and French types, One of the helmets tested for the quality of steel in the Saorstat state laboratory was returned to the general s'aff in an envelope--a pile of fine gray dust. A note explained that this was the helmet after analysis. Tt has not been explained .hether it was French British or American.

The new reserve army will find a secret, organized enemy await- in git in that mysterious organiz- ation known as "The Ghosts." For nearly a year 'The Ghosts" have been quiet, But the government never knows when they will move next; Last year there was a recrude- scene -of their activity, Everywhern from Dublin to Limerick their pos- ters in large black letters appea: ed mysteriously in public places calling for a new campaign agains, the authority of the Irish Free State, Placed in the dead of the right all the posters were signed "The Ghosts," a terrorist organiz- ation which is the bane of the gov- 14 ernment, Several outrages against govern- mental authority have been per- petrated by them, but despite much ferreting, the government bas never been able to learn much 2bout the organization, Sometimes it is called "The League of' Death."

Suisun, Calif., Sept. 24.--The dis- appearance of Irene Wolskill, seli- styled "empress of the world," was explained last might when her body was found in the gullied range land of Solano county. . Authorities arc proceeding on t assumption she might murdered, ' The body of the 57-year-old spin- ster, heiress of a famous California family, was found last night by 18- vear-old Bernold Glashoff, son of a rancher, Miss Wolfskill disappeared on July he have been For years the spinster was a char- acter of northern California, partly because she 'was a member of an old family, the heiress to nearly 1,000,000 and partly because of her' delusion that 'this and all I scc are a part of my kingdom." Wandering through the hills she loved, ever worried because oi her possessions, which her distorted mind visioned as including all the earth, Miss Wolfskill was last scen July 14. She was dressed that day in ankle- the assassination of Lord Frede- =] rick Cavendish at Phoenix Park. It is known, too, that the mem- bers of "The Gshiosts'" have provad length skirts and she hiked toward ithe sunsct over the foothills, | When found the body was clad in a pair of brown men's overalls. HEIRESS 15 FOUND ANNOUNCEMENT FISH AND CHIP RESTAURANT | A New | NOW OPEN AT | 23 PRINCE ST Come in and Give us a Trial OPPOSITE THE BUS STATION Her failure to return home caused anxiety and for days men rode through the valleys and over the hills, hunting the "empress". Wooden Valley Creek, a few miles from here, is where young Glashoff stumbled on the body by accident. As a result he will collect the $5,000 re- ward offered by her brothers, Matt and Ney, wealthy southern Califor- niasz, : A mystericus element is that the region where the body was found was the 'scene of extensive scarch in the days after the disap- pearance of the "empress". Five hun- dred men, with dogs to lead them, trailed through the valley on their way to the hills day after day, but did" not sce the body if it was there then, An inquest will be held here late today at which time an effort will be made to determine the cause of death, This was impossible carlier because the body was badly decomn- posed, making cxamination difficult. Two theories are offered. One was that Miss Wolfskill became lost, fell from exhaustion and died. The other was that she was murdercd. Where she got the overalls and why she wore them are among many questions which rei. ain to be solved. In the backeround is an oldtime family teud, a strange tangle of bro- therly hatred and sisterly affection, Matt and Ney, the brothers, were not friendly. They had not spoken to each other fir years and even with the disapnearance of their sister who loved these brother "subjects" of hers, they could not agree. "She is dead," Ney told Jack Thornton, sheriff of Solano county, immediately after her disappcardnce. "She ran away from that nurse Matt hired for her and died of exposure." Just as insistent was Matt that "sister is alive!" She loved the hills and walked too far from home and is lost. Let's continue the hunt, please." The creck where Miss Wolfskill's body was found is only a short dis- tance from the Wolfskill home. Her feet were barc and one foot was gone, but the water flowing through the creek, and the presence of wolves in that region may have accounted for the mutilation. The body was brousht here last night and turned over to Gertrude Klotz, county coroner, who, after con- sulting physicians, vill conduct an in- quest and investigation, The brothers were notified in Los Angeles and will be summoned for the inquest. According to M., A. Harris, a private detective hired to investigate the circumstances of their sister's disappearance. The Citizens' Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles, in which Miss Wolfskill had a $600,000 trust fund, also is interesting itself in the inves- tigation, it was re~orted here.
