LONDON, Jan. 24.—(By Mail.)—
British prohibitionists won’t be satis
fied until the entire nation boards the
water-wagon for the duration of the
war and the demobilization period.
The gradual paring-down of “open”
hours for drinking is not enough; they
want ! bsolute prohibition of all li
quor .i la ban on its manufacture.
He e are some of the striking com
parisons advertised by the Strength
of Britain Movement, demanding abo
lition of Drink:
During the war enough grain has
been used in liquor manufacture to
make two billion quarters loaves of
bread.
Breweries and distilleries use
enough sugar to supply the army.
Though Germany has sunk 2,800,000
tons of British shipping, the liquor in
dustry uses 1,800,000 measurement
tons a year to import raw materials.
The Board of Trade withdrew large
numbers of skilled men from the army
to carry on ship construction, but the
liquor traffic could release enough
artisans to make 800,000 tons in six
months.
Coal shortage compelled the with
drawal of 11,000 miners from the
army to resume mining while liquor
manufacture consumes the output of
6,000 miners.
The government passed the work
ers’ customary holidays but loss of
time directly traceable to alcohol
equals a three-month vacation by the
entire nation.
Prohibition people never tire of
pointing to Russia as an example of
what the water-wagon can do.
They joined in the general outcry
against the Asquith cabinet, daily de
manding that the ministers resign and
place the conduct of the war in more
efficient hands and are now preparing
to go before the people in the parlia
mentary elections, if cabinet action
does not remove the alleged menace.
In an election the liquor matter
would indirectly become a referendum
as the people would be asked to elect
or defeat candidates according to their
advocacy of prohibition or opposition
to it.
ODD FELLOWS NOTICE.
The petition for the charter is at
hand. Please see that you lose no
time in signing it. We must get it off
just as soon as possible, not later than
next Tuesday night at the meeting in
Masonic hall. Every transferring

As so much mail is returned you will
accept this as due notice. 384
