The Treasury Internal Revenue Bureau has about 3 agents who could help liquor enforcement, with 400 others partially involved in halting illicit stills.

German Indemnities Blood From Turnips In War Echoes
Professor W H Humble of the jew school at the University gave a resume on the Monroe Doctrine noting its decreasing importance as the U S reserves the right to control affairs in the western hemisphere and avoid meddling in the eastern hemisphere. He said the German government will likely trouble the United States little due to Germany’s war losses and that European intervention is unlikely. The Mexican question remains hard to resolve because of the terrain and people. He warned indemnity demands will be difficult amid Germany's weakened state. Clarence Brawley was arrested for carrying liquor in violation of the bone dry act and fined $100 and sentenced to 30 days plus a $20 fine.
