DRUNKENNESS IN INDIA.
Work Among British Soldiers by
Temperance society.

Gen. Lawson Of the British army
speaking at a meeting of the Church Oh
England Temperance Society in LONDON
made some very interesting statements
in regard to the growth OF temperance
in the army in India. 49,
Gen. Lawson said the climate there
was bad and that there were great
many temptations for men to drink also
that in that hot climate the euects OF
drink were much more harmful than IN
England For years in India the SICK
ness and drunkenness were great.
Twenty-Five years ago clergyman
started the idea Of a temperance asso-
citation in India. and this work, accord
ing TO the Church Temperance Chroni-
cle's'' report Of Gen. Lawson's address,
had surprising results. There were very
few teetotaIers in the old days. but now
nearly half the army in India are tee
tOtalers.
In 1SSs liza soldiers died in India and
in 1910 only 80 died. II was, the speaker
thought, due to the temperance move
ment. In 1889 no less than l,SOO men
were invaded from India; in 1910 the
number was only 80. In 1883 there were
only 100 total abstainers in India; IN
1902 there were 1900.
This work gave birth ten or twelve
years ago TO the Royal Army Temper
ance Association. which had done
great and splendid work in the army.
1t was not a total abstinence assocla-
ton alone. for it had Glass total
abstainers. 1900. and Glass b. temper
ate members-whOm he would Ike TO
see very largely inCreased-over 1900.
The association did good work in many
ways. Most important was the support
IL gave to total abstainers who Joined as
recruits to enable them TO continue as
abstainers. The best results had been
obtained In the last five years, and the
growth OF temperance in that period
was quite surprising
Some of the large contractors supply
ing the canteens and cofree bars told
him that in the last five years the con-
sumption of beer had been reduced by
over one-half. and on the other hand
the receipts of the coffee bars had been
more than doubled. 1t was said that the
drink trafic varied with the prosperity
of the country.
In the army in the last eight or nine
years, things had been very different
The nav OF the soldier had been ma
tcriaIly Increased: 1t was twice as much
as ten years ago. but the amount OF
money the soldier expended on drink
was reduced by one-half. In this way
the army was setting an example to
those in religious life. In the army as
in civilian life, the great bulk of crime
was due to drink In 1902 there were
5000 courts-martial in the army. 1t
seemed a large number, but some were
for trivial Offenses. and they were
spread over a large number OF men.
In 1910 there were 500 Courts-mRrtial-
Fines for drunkenness in the army in
1904 amounted to G2iOOO Cl2O.OOO); In 1910
it amounted to only el7'oCo 0s5,ooN.

May SOLVE
HEADLESS
MYSTERY

Providence, r. l., Nov. 1l.-In the
trial az Henri Doslovers, which was
begun In the superior court here to
day, the authorities hope 10 solve the
mystery Of the 4headless woman"
murder which has remained unsolv-
ed for nearly six months. On June
25 last some workmen discovered the
headless body Of women tied with
rope and weighted with rocks floating
IN the Blackstone river near Woon-
socket, Every effort to find the miss.
Ing head, without which positive iden-
LITIGATION was almost impossible, prov
ed futile.
Investigation led to the conclusion
that the body was that Of Angelo Del
mario, who had disappeared myater-
iously shortly before the nude body
was found floating In the river. AS a
result Of this investigation the man
Deslosers, a French-Belgian yarn spin
ner with whom the Delmarle woman
lived was taken into custody a few
days after the finding Of the body. He
pleaded not guilty, but at a hearing on
July n, he was held without bail sor

It was the supposition Of the police
that the murder Of the woman had
been committed somewhere In Woon.

carried to the river and sunk. But
the mystery as to the place Of tho
crime remains as dark as that relat.

head. SO far as is known the only
tangible evidence connecting Deslov.

seen to be walking toward the river
