PLENTY OF WHiSKY IN U.S.
A renewal of the bitter " Wet" and "Dry" fight is foreshadowed in the announcement that the Federal Prohibition ngents have resolved to ask Congress to destroy- 50,000,000 gallons of whisky and other spirits still in bond. Otherwise, says Mr Kramer, the Prohibition commissioner, Prohibition is impossible. It is easy, particularly in the big towns, to get drink—at a price. The situation was cleverly and funnily summed up by a New York evening paper tho other day which said: "Boose is becoming ver'v scarce. Last week we met three men who had not got any." Almost every day one reads of lar»e quantities of bonded liquor being stolen when in transit from ono warehouse to another.
