One remarkable effect of the war which is worth studying for its
psychological interest is that all the nations engaged seem to have suddenly
come to the conclusion that strong drink is something which ought to he
tabooed. It is certainly strange bow all the allied nations, at least, have all
r.t once placed restrictions on the sale of drink. Russia has banished vodka.
France ha** curtailed the sale of absinthe and now comes Britain with re
gulations governing the sale of liquor to women and with new regulations
as to the closing hours of saloons.
It is a strange psychological fact that each of us when hard times or
trouble of any kind comes loses his temptation for dissipation. “When the
devil was sick the devil a saint would be: When the devil was well the devil
a saint was he.”
One might be tempted to say that the new regulations against the liquor
traffic by the belligerent powers is a matter of expediency rather than one
of sentiment hut a communication to the Oaten ay in the past couple of days
shows where the British government is figuring on new rules that would keep
women out of saloons.
The fact that women went into saloons or did not go into saloons could
not very well effect the efficiency of the British army or the. British nation
so far as this war is concerned. So the order to keep women away from
such places mu*t he sentimental. Kspecially dives this conclusion force itself
on us when we associate it with the almost simultaneous regulations against
strong drink in France and Russia.
While talking about women going into saloons it might be well to say
that a woman going into a saloon in the I'nited States or Canada, and a
woman going into a “public house” in the British islands are two different
considerations. Most of us know that not only do respectable women visit
saloons, or public house*, in I uglaud and its neighboring sister countries
but that respectable women tend bar in them. These facts do not make the
women worse, but. a* an actual fact, they make the saloons better.
In (ireat Britain some of the “noblest” families receive most of their
incomes from the manufacture of liquors and beer. Most of us who have
enjoyed the nectar known to fame as (iuiness' stout are unaware of the fact
that the stuff is manufactured by two men called Lord Ardilaun and Lord
hcagh. In this country the) would be known and somewhat contemned as
•‘brewers” but there the' are peers of the realm, which sounds big when you
try to forget that when you take a “half and half” you are helping them to
keep up their champagne suppl) and. by the "ay. also helping some of the
tith'd owners of the Ba** brewery who are responsible for one of the halves.
Men like these brewery lord* ha'e fought hard every time some British
government tried to tax beer or stout or to curtail their manufacture. Now,
howe'er, we have seen in the last few davs that the present government has
put a tax of one cent a glass extra on beer. That means doubling the price,
practically, to the consumer and will probably result in decreasing the sale
of the liquor.
What does all this mean?
It means one of two things; It means either that the mental depression
caused by the griefs and sorrows of war have made the people more senti
mentally religious or it means that political leaders are no longer particular |
whether the great ones of the nation object or not to a curtailment of their
privileges.
The war has upset everything and all the nations are under changed con- i
trol. They are in the same position now as if they were brand new common
wealths starting out afresh as the I'nited States started after the war of
Independence and had a clean slate on which they could write any constitu
tion and any laws they had a mind to. That may be the reason why such
changes ha'e come so suddenly and simultaneously in one particular respect
in several different countries.
EXCHANGE LIST
OF PRISONERS
TRAVELLERS BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND ENGLAND MUST GO
BY FINLAND.
(By The Associated Press.)
STOCKHOLM, Dec. 2.—With all of
Germany’s and Austria’s diplomatic
affairs centering in the American
Legation here, Minister Morris, his
assistants and an extra corps of four
clerks are kept more than comfort
ably busy. A recent agreement be
tween the warring nations to ex
change lists of prisoners has materi
ally added to their labors. It appears
likely that within a few days the lor
mal exchange of Consular representa
tives, who up to now' have been held
as prisoners of war in Russia and
Germany will be effected.
It is estimated that 300,000 German
and 130,000 Austrian noncombatants
are in Russia. Thousands of letters of
inquiries about these have been hand
lied by the legation to date. Germany
is permitting Russian subjects, women
and children and men of non-military
age, to return to their country. These
are arriving in Stockholm daily by the
score. Their care devolves upon a
committee of Russians. Twenty-seven
American nurses, most of them young
women, eight surgeons, and three tons
of medical supplies recently passed
through to Russia. They were sent by
steamer to Ranmo and from there by
rail to Petrograd. Russia is reported
to be very short of medical supplies
and cotton cloth for bandages, hence
the unusual supply carried by the
American hospital people.
A new route, practically all rail, for
English and Russian travelers, has
been developed by the presence of
German warcraft in the Baltic. The
Finnish raidroad up the Eastern Coast
of the Gulf of Bothnia to Tornea, and
the Swedish line down the Western
side to Stockholm, ordinarily chiefly
devoted to freight traffic, have become
by force of circumstances fairly busy
pa sangers carriers. Neither English
nor Russians will take the risk of fal
ling into the hands of the Germans by
using the boat and rail route whicn
is being followed by the Americans
and other non-combatants. They pre
fer the safer four or five day journey,
some twenty miles of which must be
covered by automobile.
