The judge took the op- | portunity to issue a warning that | smuggling on any scale will meet | with still heavier punishment here- | after. | "The mew regulations which have jdavied the hopes of prospective | smugglers provide® that liquor may | be shipped into dry territory only on {a regular bill of lading, Since the [thousands of gallons of booze con. | centrated her¢ are in bond ware- | houses, officials declare smugglers have small chance to remove them for illegal shipment. Authorities here have taken the at- titude that while the Bermudas are "wet," the government will not in any way participate in booze run- ning. This attitude has discouraged the operatoms 'of many boats eagerly waiting here for cargoes which they can run to some point along the United States coast, where they can be sold to bootleggers.

"I am anything but an admirer of German Ideals," Makaroff 'declared "but I can see that the natural trend of events will bring Germany to the side of Russia and America, as a commercial and military ally." ---- Hocken Re-Elected, Toronto, Aug. 1.--~The Orange Lodge of British America wound vp its three days convention with the election of officers.
