This force of special agents will be distributed among the dlslTlcts where taw violation Is throatoned to the largest pxtfiiit and special attention will ho paid to cities whore revenue officials look for most persistent ef forts to make whiskey Illegally. In addition the revenue authorities plan to cooperitteo with locul police, and to leave the greater part of Ihe en forcement work to those authorities In localities where the police appear efficient. Without such a plan, tho force of even three thousand federal agents would be insufficient to police tho entire country. ,' , " St row on l.lipior Traffic Altho manufacture of liquor for personal use will lie equally Illegal with the production for sale, revenue agents are expected to1 devote most of their tlmo to the commercial traf flc, and to leave tho enforcement of the law against personal manufac ture to local police. Altho heretofore liquor violations have been found by revenue agents mainly among moonshinors of south ern mountains, prohibition Is expect ed to stimulate Illicit distillation en ormously in cities.
