I do not underestimate the ability of the Frenchman to hit Jack.

Haynes plans to make the third year of national prohibition a much more near bone dry period than the first two, he said. Beginning today, the prohibition unit will be able to draw on a new appropriation of more than ?2,000,000 to fill places of de tectives and inspectors laid off be cause cash ran out forty days ago. More than 700 enforcement agents were laid off lin May because the 1921 appropriation ran out.

To make the year more nearly pleasing to prohibition enforcement officials, Congress BOOH will be askod by Attorney General Daiigherty to pot up a system f bopKGiwnirta which, will transact only 'business relating to prohibition enforcement. W|Uh these courts in operation, rolrlbutlon in, the hapo of heavy fines, and jail terms will he dealt out with Mttle delay to persons ^caught running the rum blockade of dry detectives. De lay (In bringing violators to justice because the ordinary courts of New York and all big cities are clogged with prohibition cases, has been one of the factors maWtng piroh Motion laws hard to eniforce, according to government! officials. And to make Unynea* drive on law breakers more and more effective, soveral branches of the government are co-operating with him, as well as city, state and county officials in all sections. Chief Ashworth of the U. S. Cus toms Service has laid down a barrage of customs detectives along tho Cana dian border to) halt international booze smuggleis. The Florida keys a'ro haviR guarded ^gojlnsft li|quctr smuggled from Cuba, not only by tho customs service 'but also by the Unit ed States Coast Guards.

Considering the situation from those points of lew, Commissioner Haynes is pleaded wjlth the possibil ity of making tho country nearly 100 per cent dry during the next 12 months. "At any rate," he said today, "we'll make it blamed unpleasant to be a bootlegger." Haynes and few government offi cials believe that real 100 per fcent pure prohibition can be clamped. down on tho entire country. Prohibition, they point out, T& too new to be completely OffectJive at ^nce. But progress toward complete dryness is being made daily, they say, backed by a rapidly developing public sentiment lor absolute andj (impartial enforcement o the law. Wartimo prohibition,' when tha country took itfl first step towards ai dry basin, began two years ago to day. On that day all sales of liquoi for internal consumption was prohi bited by law. This measure, how ever, was ntended to be merely tem porary and to continue in effect only for a shortj time after the close ot hostilities. But before that period! was reached, jcorrtf^tuW(onal prohi bition became effective and the pro hibition enforcement unit was set upj at Washington. Untfll a short time* ago nearly 2,000 federal agents^ watching for violations of 'the Vol* stead law. Then came the big lay* off. Now, however, this is to be COM rected. I During the first two years pro*, hiibition, the country has consumed/, more than 40,000,000 gallons liquor, according to reports on with-*,i-fot drawals from bonded warehouses^ Prohibition unit officials say tba$': part of this reached bootleggers an was consumed internally, aljbougofc the permits under which it wds w1th& drawn were intended to prevent thd~ UBO of liquor except for non-beverag^f Si V.-fil%
