RUSS BOOTIFGGERS ' SELL U S, DOLLARY Tlicit Business Carried on Along 11 Country's Frontiers - { Warsaw, Dee. 22 (M — Every night many thousands of smugglers, landsharks and bootleggers cross the Polish border, one way or the other, _but only about 500 a month are caught at their illicit trade. A glance at the map of Poland shows almost unrivalled opportuni- ties for smuggling. To the north liey the small Danzig free city ter- ritory, where living is about twice as expensive as in Poland. Then there is the disputed 120 mile strip of territory along the Lithuanian demarcation fine, where, as there are no regular commercial relations between the two countries, smug- gling is rampant, and firing upon smugglers s often mistaken for clashes between Polish and Lithu- anian frontier guards. In the east there are many loop- holes in the 500 miles of wild forest swamp lands through which the Russo-Polish borderline runs.

All deals at the Russo-Polish frontier are made in American dollars, or, as in medieval times, goods are simply exchanged. Poles barter man. ufactured articles against Russian furs, which are also often paid for in diamonds. As all of these trans- actions have to be made in double quick time for fear of discovery by frontier guards, most smugglers have little glasses marked to indi- cate the average value in diamonds Thus, one-quarter of the glass filled with diamonds is worth $190, a half-filled glass, $200. Most of those stones are of poor quality and many of them are spurious, 8o the risk is always against the buyer, al- though sometimes, it is said, they strike it remarkably lucky, City Items Good coal makes warm friends.
