I shall never forget how smartly nd steadily they marched past the Palace of Westminster while the Union Jack floated over the Victoria Tower, en-older with the Stars and Stripes. None would suggest that those bronzed and re-enforced young were other than hardy, sober and eager for the fray. They stepped out bravely and T have never seen onc of them the worse for lquor. Of course, T am not in a position to speak of conditiong in France, where I understand that wine is available— though not absinthe—but the only comment that I heard on the Amer- ican expeditionary force was that our | comrades, as we regard them, coming as they did from so great a distance, as they could not but be of the hellfire was in the trenches, may have been a little apt to “talk | big"— as I think vou put it—to our fellows who had been playfellows with death for months. Much the same thing was said of our own Colonials | when they first arrived, and a day or two confronting the Germans usually puts things on a sound footing. “Let me make it clear that T am myself a total abstainer—absolute and uncompromisingly. I have braved the perils of university, parliament, and the press without resort to alcohol and am now constantly resisting a hospitable bombardment of cocktails. Tndeed, so great is my reverence for George Bernard Shaw that T am un- tainted by tobacco and experience of the seductive cigarette. This being so, T would suffer no pangs of thirst | if every saloon and cabaret and tav- ern in the whole wide world were closed down, now and forever. But T must protest against the theory that Britain and the British are sunk in intoxication and iniquity. Tt simply i is not true. “Before the war, we survived an- nually about thirty-six million stand- ard barrels of beer. That output (and import) fell last vear to ten millions and recent concessions to parched la- borers have only put up the reduced output of twelve or thirteen millions— so at least I was informed. While no district is absolutely dry, every district has to pay three times as much for beer and four much for spirits, while one-third t):e amount. Moreover, it is not true that our ‘public houses are open day and night consuming | to catch the unwary. For many hours of the day and all hours of the night they are closed—bolted and barred. But, obviously, if you open those swing doors for ha)f an hour a week | only, there will e men and women, who in that haff-hour will empty down their throats enough liquor to puddle their brains. Tt alwavs has been so. Tt always will be. And sud- den bursts of indulgence probably ex- plain the regrettable phenomenon of brave men, occaslonally staggering \long the streets, But they have been fewer far, if my observation goes for anything, thanlspmini times as | in days of peace. And this testimony is supported by the statistics of the | police. Indeed the entire propaganda of temperance would be at fault if | Sunday closing, early closing, restric- tion of supply and shutting of redund- evil of drink. I shall be asked: Yes, but is not vour drink bill rising? Will it not be over $1,000,000,000 in 1917, and is this figure not unprecedented? It is quite [ unprecedented—and much of | colossal sum goes to brewers' profits. now largely water, and the retailers have so great a regard for heaven's | rarest beverage that they charge as | much for it as they do for alcohol. Tt | 1s zood business for the shareholders, | but it does not mean, necessarily, that men are made drunk. The revenue { gets it, by increased taxation returns. | Close down this whole traffic { none would be better myself. One way of and pleased than incapacitating the Russian army was to let loose | once more the floodgates of drink. A German, who wants to help his coun- try, cannot do better than dole out unlimited beer to the Allied forces. But I have near relatives in the army I know them to be sober and self- sacrificing men, and I think that we should be careful lest, in our zeal, We bring on what may be a railing accu- ! sation against people who, cases, in many are undoubtedly innocent. On the other hand, if at certain ports and | bases, these evils do exist as de- scribed, then it is as much the duty of the military authorities to step in and prevent them as it Is their duty to carry through any other measure of discipline and efficiency. Stories have been floating around even ,in England-—stories, that is, of condi- | tions on the lines of communications. Bverything shall be done that can he done to minimize these moral And much—T would repeat—very much has been already accomplished. | RUB RHEUMATIC PAIN | !

A Men- shevik delegate leaves the city B at the same time to attend the same conference. When will these delegates start pulling each other's hair and how many. resolutions will they pro- pose?” Following are others of the satirical propositions propounded: “An internationalist writes for a newspaper and receives 1,000 roubles for each article. How many delib- cTately false reasons for an immediate peace must be present, if every such reason is paid for at the rate of five marks apiece, assuming that five marks equal eight roubles and forty | copecks?” “A democratic conference progress- es at the rate of 129 resolutions per —— ey NAPOLEON ONCE SAID “A Footsore Army Is An Army Half De- feated.”” Men in Training Camps, in Canton- ments, in the Army and Navy suffer from ters and sore spots on their feet.
