FRENCH HERO OF
VEROUN EXPIRES
NATION MOURNS
PARIS. May 12. (By the Associat
ed PrcHH.) General Charles Man gin,
French hero of Verdun, died today.
General Mann in, whose far-famed
defense ' of Verdun inude him im
mortal In French war annals, was a
comparatively youilK man, as he
would not have been 60 until next
year.
One of the most frequent com
ments regarding the general by those
who knew him well wna that he was
possibly the moat misunderstood man
in the French army. The commu
nists and other extremists called
him the "butcher" of his own men,
and his jnw gave him a forbidding
mein which seemed to bear out tli Ib
reputation. Those who came in con
tact with him, however, found him
gentle und kindly.
"Mangln Is a business soldier,"
said one of his fellow generals re
cently In explaining the misappre
hension In which he was held in
some quarters. "He knows what he
wants to do and he does It with
courage."
Charles Marie Emmanunl Man
gln born at Sarrebourg, on July C,
1866, was one of the military leaders,
with a lifelong training as a soldier,
who proved a bulwark of strength for
France in repelling the German Inva
sion during the World war.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
war, he was placed in command of the
Fifth Infantry division and later of
the Eleventh army corps.
His temporary rank of general was
made permanent Just before his bril
liant attack in Verdun, in October
1916, which resulted In the recapture
frefm the Germans of Fort Douomont.
Later he became Involved In the bit
ter controversy which followed the
costly victory on the Ainse In the
spring of 1017, and was deprived of
his command of the sixth' army.
A commission of inquiry however,
exonorated htm from blame and he
was reinstated by Clemenceau. In
July 1918, In conjunction with Gen
eral Degoutte, he carried out the
great counter offensive against the
German right flank which brought the
first of the final series of allied suc
cesses. After the war, he was made a mem
ber of the Ruhr war council and was
decorated with the grand cross of the
Legion of Honor.

New York Reports Effort Is
Being Made to Pour Liquor
Into United States Via Cali
fornia Five Foreign Ves

key Drops.
NEW YORK, May 12. (A. P.)
With a business that has approach
ed $40,000,000 a year smashed by
the dry navy's blockade, whiskey
ships fleeing the Atlantic seaboard,
are beginning to offer their cargoes
In foreign ports at bargain rates.
Meanwhile an effort 1b being made
to pour liquor into the United States,
via the Pacific coast. Five vessels,
flvlng British and Belgian flags and
stocked with well assorted cargoes
are forty miles fof San Diego, Cal.
Their presence has been reported by
the ooast. guard cutter Tamaroa and
officers of the cutter are quoted as
saying that- boats of customers of
the rum fleet are too speedy ' for
the dry navy there as at present
equipped1 to overtake, ? :
Presumably, the coast ' guard will
extend Its activities to prevent the
thirst of Callfornians ' being satisfied
In an illegal manner. When, there
were Indications that the rum fleet
was heading south 'to seek customers
trm Baltimore and Washington, the
rfry navy promptly met tre situation.
Latest -advices ' say that . 2g "coast
guard craft are maintaining a tight
blockade off the Virginia Capes, the
dry navy having been doubled since
the blockade off Ke'w England New
York and New Jersey began a week
ago today. , ,
Rear; Admiral F, C. Billard, com
mandant of . the coast guard, Is
known ,to be planning further activi
ties. He regards It as certain to be
u long siege and ln the Washington
office there Is a big map with pins
of various colors, representing - the
rum craft and those of his own
forces, -i
Fog has failed to aid the dlehurds
of the rum fleet that still linger off
New York. No running of the block
ade has been reported In two, days
of heavy miBt. To prevent the fog
helping rum row, the dry navy sent
14 additional - armed craft L out' of
New London, The Increasing activi
ties of the coast guard Are being
supplemented by considerable spong
ing up of liquor that leaked ashore.
State police have seined 34 cases of
Canadian beer In boat houses near
Mount Clemens. Bight more saloons
huve been closed by federal padlock
smiths ln New York and a plant that
did a large business ln cutting and
distributing rye whiskey has been
raided. ' '
In Glace Bay, Nova Scotia whence
have come many of the cr'aft that
have sold liquor for thirsty New
Yorkers In the last four years,
liquor could be bought cheaply from
two schooners If the Canadian au
thorities would permit It. Whiskey
wns offered on board yesterday at
$12 a case and champagne at cor
respondingly low rateB. Presumably
the vessels came from off the New
York const, driven home by lack of
customers and need of food and
water. They did no business, how
ever, as two Canadian revenue cut
ters stood by.
In the annual report of . the de
partment of commerce, published to
day. Secretary Hoover, In statistics
on the country's foreign trade last
year gives $40,000,000 as an estimate
of the cost of bootlegged : foreign
liquor. Officials connected with the
customs service are said to regard
this as n low estimate,

Then the final mix was added to

up with any artificially naturalized
