LONDON, March 4-—A middle- aged German lawyer-writer, Dr. Hermann Ciortz. accused of espion- age upon the Royal Air Force. heard doz/nienis read in Old Bailey Court today implicating him in spying against American air forces during the Great War.

The trial, Great Britain's first for espionage since thc war, saw the defendant blink when he heard his own description of him- self as a “dangerous intelligence officer" turned against him. The Crown presented a. docu- ment Gortz had written to the German Government describing his intelligence work during the war and mentioning that he lived for a year and a. half in the United States and three and a half years in ndon. During that period, the letter said, he was “again in contact with English and American war- time aviators" and "I am even now still in touch with military aviators on the active list, or I probably can ge‘. in touch with them again."

were unconvinced the situation was b61118 odtqllaiely coped with, the °Y18inal motion of Senator Hughes for a committee to probe the whole question could be advanced, The government would comply with it, Meanwhile he urged his colleagues t0 digest the memorandum thor- oughiy.

The government leader recalled that last year both customs and excise duties on liquor were greatly decreased.

He detailed the reductions. acid- ing however. that they still left a large margin of profit for the ii- legal operator.

General MacBrien's memoran- dum trsccd operations of the pre- ventive service through the years in all portions of the country and showed a gradual betterment in the situation both with regard to suppression of smuggling and to cconcniy of administration.

The margin of profit to be do_ rived from smuggling, however. was still considerable, and was sufficient to be an incentive to the lawbrezik- or. The traffic now fluctuated over the international boundary since the United States had repealed thc Vols-iced Act; but thc Commissioner paid tribute io thc co-operaticn which his own enforcement ofllccrs received from those of the Uniicd States. -

If, with a further reduction in duties, the provinces also cut prices to the consumer, a. useful service would be rendered to the authorit- ies. the, memorandum indicated. Enforcement had received some set-backs through adverse decisions of ihc law-courts respecting thc, validity of penal legislation, and, out of the experience of the past four years. the Royal Mounted had made certain recommendations to the government which, it was hoped, might fructify in Phi-lia-

' mentary action at the present ses-

sion;

The document clearly showed, said Senator Hughes, “a tremen- dous organization" operating es- pecially on the seaboards to defeat thc ends of justice. High-scale smuggling of liquor into Canada was of recent origin and it had arisen when governments boosted liquor duties to the height they had attained before the reduction noted by Senator Dandurand be- came effective. It was plain that duties continued excessively nigh

Opinion throughout Canada on the liquor question was divided said the Senator, "and in a small way we have a civil war going on in the country.”

“It would be better,“ he declared, “to get back to the duties that prevailed before this business or- iginated."

\ It had been estimated between I 70 and 80 per cent of the liquor consumed in Canada was illegally produced or illegally imported. 'f'he loss in revenue was a serious niat- ter, but it was no more serious than the demoralization of char- acter attendant unon the traffic.

The Senator had been coni- mendcd on his stand by the presid- ent of the Vancouver Seamens Association, who described con- ditions on,the Pacific coast as "appalling." From the Maritime Provinces two Premiers and At- torneys General had endor: his position.

"We have been complaining of not having work to do," declared Senator Hughes. "I think we could notbc better employed than look- ing into this matter."

Senator Dandurand said he had received ifrom the Premier of Prince Edward Island a communi- cation saying anything done by tr.- Senate to improve anti-smug- gling conditions in the island Province‘ "would be much apprec- fated."

Violence El a r e s In New York Building Service Workers’ Walkout.

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK, March 4—Strike- bcleagured real estate operators, barragcd with union threats to call a countrywide walkout of building service workers and to "fight out on the street" of New York, refused to give ground tonight.

Union leader James J. Bam- bri:k‘s threat of street fighting promptly aroused the interest of district attorney W- C. Dodge who called for an explanation of what Bambrick meant.

Other developments:

1. In addition in" raising the threat of a countryside strike of elevators, porters, heating engin- eers and other service unions, strike leaders claimed they could precipitate a general walkout of ail organized labor in the city.

2. Approximately 1,200 strike sympathizers, by police estimate. got out of control when officers triad to break up a demonstration in front of union headquarters late today. They were too busy eluding police, however. to cause any serious damage.

3. Sluggings and vandalism con- tinued in other sporadic outbreaks, following a night of riotous dc- monstrations in the Park Avenue sector. Stenah bombs were brought into play.

4. Edward MbGrady, assistant secretary of labor and veteran labor concilialor, stood reach’ to act as mediator as Mayor Laguardia strove for a settlement.

5. Impromptu tenants defence league demanded a grand jury in- vestigation of violent disorders. Other tenants joined the strikers picket lhies.

8. Seventy-two more buildings -lost their service crews, bringing the total of strike-bound strut:- tures to 1.472 by police count. Poi- ice said 8,568 workers were out.

‘l. Scores of additional building owners broke away from their or- ganizations and signed independ- ent agieements.

New Annan Wins Baker Cup

The intense interest in the out- come of the contest for the Baker Cup between teams of the North Shore League culminated in one grand turnout of enthusiastic fans at Kensingion rink on Monday night, March 2nd, for the deciding game between New Annan and Spring Valley teams. Seven hund- red and fifty high tension fans lined the promenade and gallery. Fine music was dispensed by the large electric amplifier and all went merry as the proverbial "n: ii‘- riage bell" of Lord Byron. The final score, 2-1 in favor of New Annan, is a tribute to the “stone- waii" attributes of both Dziscoll and Walker, netminders for New Annan and Spring Valley respect- ively. On several occasions Spring Valley defence was split wide open by Allison Bernard and Roy Cruz- ier, but Walker was successful in turning back close-up shots which looked like sure counters. Edwin McKay scored the first counter for New Annan early in the first per- iod. The remaincr was scoreless.
