While the Germans predominate tn

create a difficult situation.
Final disposition of Memel lias been
under discussion by the Allied coun

been unable to come to a decision. The
original intention of the Allies was to
organize a plebiscite to. allow the in

Ambrose channel light ship today, ready,
for business as usual.
While prohibition forces were taking
to New York' four small boais captured
last night "Mie attempting to land
liquor from the mother ships, the rest
of the welcoming fleet of were rac

Whisky, gin, champagne and wine

of the rum ships.
As the bootlegger runs along in Ins

tbc sides of the mother ships and do
cides from which he will purchase. The
signs inform the bottle fishermen that

"I saw 5000 coses in one pile on one
boat,” declared a grey-haired runner,
who brought his boat safely past the

"You can get anything you want. Cheap,

One mon who recalled eppture last

day to take another of*liis boats out to
the rum’fleet.
"What do I care for the boa: Jost last,
