gambling scandal on a liner doe!', not
fed its way into the newspapers. Thai

back and forth In search of the unwar;
has long been beyond dispute. Oi
many ships, as on the Kaiser Wilholn
11., there are warning signs in the smok
ing rooms. Occasionally, and quite ex
ceptionally, the oiliccra of a ship have
felt called upon to interfere. But they
do not often enough, and. as the Even
ing Post says, the question why open
gambling should be allowed at all has
never been properly answered. Pool
selling on the day’s run has become t
regular pastime without a protest. But
ought, the smoking room of a stearnei
always to be the scene of open gambling
any more than the smoking car of c
Chicago or California train?
