Turning from New York to ashington we find only six per cent. of the population of foreign birth as compared with 35 per cent. of the population of New York City, and yet the enforcement of prohibition is just as difficult and just as ineffective in the national capital as in New York. Washington is only the fourteenth city in the United: States in point of population, and yet during the month that has just expired the capital had 748 arrests for intoxication,- 44 for driving while intoxicated, 62 for transporting liquor, 83 for selling it, 84 for its illegal possession, and 24-for drinking in public and other offences against the liquor law, a total of 1,045. And these 1,045 arrests represented only a small fraction, of the violations of the prohibition law in Washington during those 30 days or for that matter any other 30 ction prohibited without permission.
