10 United States army officers. repre-

on duty in France for instruction in
French military training. They are
here by permission of the French gov

French experience and French military
science may from year TO year be
available for the United States army.

officers from the Balkan and other

had such opportunities to know the
French military system as the Amer
leans now have.

DRINK BILL
INCREASES $25, 900, 900

7 ONDON, Eng Nay s.-The drink
bill Of the United Kingdom for
the past year shows an increase
Of SIS, 900, 600 The United Kingdom
alliance, whose mission is to decrease
the consumption Of alcoholic liquors,
makes this report and suggests that
the increase is probably due TO un-
precedented prosperity, for the king
dom had never experienced a greater
wage bill The encouraging feature
according to the alliance, is a decrease
shown in the per capita consumption,
which attained its maximum during
similar trade revivals in 1874 and 1893
a discOuraging feature is the in
crease IN the consumption Of spirits
which leads with an increase Of 1861
600 gallons. Beer is second with
1.002. 900 gallons, and wine third with
$4,000 gallons. The share Of each in
dividual in the United Kingdom in the
drink bill for 1913 was SIS, while the
average for a family Of five persons
was $50. Since these figures do not
