G STREET, OPP. POSTOFFICE
CANADIAN WOMRN “HELD UP”
FOIt HEAVY DUTY ON SHOES
DETROIT.—There was a holdup
of Canadian femininity at the Wind
sor dock today when customs officers
stopped over one hundred women
who had overlooked the mere, detail
of paying duty on fashionable foot
wear and compelled them to con
tribute 37 1-2 cents on every dollar
the shoes cost on the American side
of the river.
Canadian officers recently issued
a warning that a few hundred women
were wearing shoes not made in
Canada on which the duty had not
been paid. They gave the tip that
this would be stopped.
Today it was. The short dresses
1 ow in fashion made the “spotters’ ”
job easy.

ALLIES TRY TO WIN SPAIN
TO JOIN WAR, IS REPORT
BERLIN.—England is attempting
to bring Spain over to the side of the
allies, according to Geneva reports
today, by offering her Tangier. In
return for this concession, Spain
must seize all German ships interned
in Spanish ports and consent to the
closing of Gibraltar to all neutral
ships, except those of Spain. This
latter measure would be a further
step in the coercion of Greece.
