Nfw York, Aug. 20. The. good Mrs.
'Partington, of Sidmputh, England, who
"during the great storm of 1824 tried to
. .'Veep the whole Atlantic but of her seaside
'cottage by vigorous use of her mop, and
who was defeated after a game and
"'spirited contest, had nothing on the pro
bibltion agent of today, who dries up 'a
Mtrickle of hooch in front of him, only to
i -find an ocean flooding in at his back. .
'iFACE HARD FIGHT
J For, in spite of arrests, seizures, prose
cutions and a fewconvictions, whiskey,
jfln. rum, brandy, and even nine percent
beer, are flowing into "dry" America In
greater volume than ever before in the
Volstead era and Washington prohibi
rtion enforcement leaders admit that un
, $ema they have more money, more agents
rand army and navy backing, the job of
keeping or making the United States
,dry looks hopeless.
1 The entire north Atlantic seaboard,
the Canadian border, and in particular
'the Detroit river, constitute the 4500
. IJnile battle line of bootleggers. :
LEAK" IS HEAVY I, . V
-'i .From the southern shores and north
, Jward to the tip of Maine, fleets not
. single ships, but actually fleet of rum
"Tunners are patrolling the "safe" waters
;beyond the three-mile limit, 'bidding
Jthlrsty Americans to come and get it."
Every road from' Canada into the
United States, however closely guarded
;by customs and prohibition officials,
..leaks carloads or truck loads of contra
;band. And along the Detroit river, where
ilthe Canadian law has decided that it
jfcan't stop Canadians from selling any
. .thlng they have to Americans, there are
''so many bootleggers that they have de
cided to wear badges so they won't try
'to sell hooch to each other.
'BUM SHIP BUST
!T The mysterious 'Arethusa "oasis of the
.ocean,'- they call her had two thousand
leases of liquor aboard, after disposing of
s vast stock and skirting the coast of
Martha's Vineyard celling it to all and

Itirop anchor ' five or six' miles out and
"then advertise that they are onen for

'that a trap will be sprung, and that what

.Treasury officials declare that the big-J
'tgest seisure oi vessels oarnng- uik oi
JXhe German liners when war broke out

IJThey declare, too, that the ringleaders in
ttn magnificent rum-running scnerae are
."now scurrying up and down the coast
trying to warn the incoming fleet of the
' Impending danger, and trying to duck
certain warrants that have already! been
ilssued for their own arrests.
- -t What can or cannot be done after the
"leisures are made is problematical. The
schooner Marshall is now languishing
1 ' under three libels in the custody of the
lUnlted States marshal. Her case is now
before the federal court. She is of Brit-
