London. Feb. 2S.-The country long
has been speculating on the govern
ment's promised licensing bill, dealing
with the liquor and allied trades, which
Chancellor of the EXchequer Asquith
introduced in the house of commons
yesterday afternoon. II was known it
would be drastic temperance meas
ure. but few, if any. expected such
sweeping proposals as the chancellor
announced.
If enacted. the bill will reduce the
existing licensed houses in England
and Wales by one-third In other
words, it will abolish 10000 bars at
which intoxicants are now sold. There
thus will be one licensed house to ev-
cry GOO or 500 persons in townsi and
one for every 400 or SEQ in the coun-
try districts, compared with the pres
ent general average of one for every
$40 inhabitants.

Public houses outside of London will
be allowed to keep open only three

venting clubs from becoming virtG-
ally public houses and evading the
