ALL THE WOLRD
AGREES on THIS
Alcohol at Bottom of Eighty
Five to Ninety Per Cent
of Crime
GREAT CONGRESS ON DRINK
Report Made Public by State
Department at National
Government.

Washington. Nov. S.-Aicohol and
alcoholism are two of the real and
substantial enemies of moral artistic
and commercial progress Of the hu-
man race, according to the report Of
the United States delegates TO the
Twelfth International Congress on Al
cohoism, made public by the state
department The delegates were
appointed by Secretary Knox as one
Of his frst official acts. The con
gress was held last July IN London
and twenty-five governments We're
represented. the delegates of each
concurrng in the general finding that
alcohol not only was unnecessary to
human life and comfort, bat was in
imical to both
Three departments of the United
States government were represented
by delegates the state, navy and
treasury. Twelve representatives
went abroad, and all of them unani-
mously signed the report made public
today. the finding of which is to con-
denim the drinking habit as dangerous
10 public health and morals and sub
versive of national moral; commercial
and military greatness,
According to the report the interest
shown in the congress was greater
than ever known before, Because Of
the information evolved at the con-
gress the delegates accepted the invi,
tation of the Queen of Hollard to hold
their next meeting, two years hence
at the Hague in conjunction with the
conference Of the committee that is
working for international peace.
The relations of drunkenness to
crime was a subject that received
much attention at the congress. The
Chief Justice of England, Lord Al
verstone, announced that in his belief
I 90 per cent Of the crimes passing un-
der his observation were due to drink.
Judge w. F. Pollard, OF ST Louis,
Mo, who presides at the second dis
trict police court in that city declared
that of the cases passed upon by him
fully s. per cent of those convicted
could charge their degradation to the
use of alcohol. Lieut. Col Hardy, Of
Edinburg. Scotland, conceded with
Judge Pollard as to the percentage Of
crimes occurring in the former Scotch
capital.
Judge Pollard won the support of the
delegates from twenty-three countries
for the adoption of his plan to sus.
pend sentence in the case of every
first offender who is brought into
court charged with drunkenness, This
involves such first offenders signing Il
pledge to abstain for one year If the
probationers fail to live up to their
pledge they may be arrested and sum-
marily sentenced. The knowledge that
one drink may mean a prison sentence
Judge Pollard argued, kept many a
man straight until he had time to col
lect himself. The penalty for failure
to keep faith with the court was not
settled, several of the delegates argu-
ing in favor Of various degrees of
punishment. The principle. however,
was regarded as admirable, and 400
delegates urged its adoption by the
various governments of the world.

But he has at least two good men. and
three good campaigners. to beat In
this race, and he will make great
mistake II he relies too much upon
his past record to win the election.
He will have to be constantly In the

race, and We oplne that be is IN better
trim now than he was six years ago.

Thousands Of lives are snufted out
every year by criminal neglect or

almost every accident Of magnitude
involving the loss of hundreds Of lives

the fault lies with owners or builders,
sometimes with employers Of labor,
sometimes with a careless workman.
