A RECORD “SMOKE”
TEN MILLION CIGARETTES WAR STORES DESTROYED By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Saturday. The Army and Navy authorities refused 10,000,000 cigarettes which have been in warehouses since 1918. The Customs authorities therefore decreed their destruction. The cigarettes would probably have been issued to the troops had the war continued. They were burned in the “King’s Pipe” at Liverpool, the name given to the building in which all unwanted tobacco is destroyed in the presence of a Customs officer. The process of destruction occupied several days, and constituted a. record smoke. —Sun.
