fact that the same method has not yet found foothold in the United States, although such plan has been noted in certain cities. where posters inveigh- ing against the use of alcohol have been issued by authority of the mayors
 The relations of drunkenness to attention at the Congress. The Chief Justice of England. Lord Aiverstone, announced that in his belief 90 per cent of the crimes passing under 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 oity. declared that of the cases passed upon by him fully 85 per cent of those convicted could charge their degradation to the use of alcohol. Lieutenant Colonei incided 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 coun- tries for the adoption of his plan to suspend sentence In the case of every first offender who is brought into court charged with drunkenness. This involves such first, offenders signing @ pledge to aDStalu Tor one year. 1T the practitioners 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.
 There was considerable debate on the effects of the use of small quan- titles of alcohol. Certain of the dele gates, according to the report. insisted that the use of alcohol. in whatever quantity. was of the greatest danger to the human. Others contenied that experiments showed conclusiveiy no harm resulted. No conclusion was reached. the latter class maintaining that further experimentation should be undertaken before any decision was reached.
 While the Congress took no action looking to international organization for work, the meeting resulted in the organization of two new auxiliaries. One is the International Prohibition Federation, which proposes to wage an educational campaign among adults. and the International Abstaining Teachers Union, society composed of teachers in the public schools ani universities who will pledge themselves to promote the temperance education of youth.
