ALCOHOL AND WAR

The last issue of The COmmoner
publishes the following anent the
prohibition of alcoholic liquor in the
armies engaged in the European
war. 1t says:
"One of the remarkable features
of the present European war is the
adoption of liquor reform measures
by practically all of the nations en-
gagged in the conflict"
Continuing, The Commoner quotes
the following from the New York
World:
The relation of alcohol to in
dustrial efficiency is still a moot
question, but apparently the great
commanders are convinced that
alcohol does not improve an army's S
fighting efficiency. That the Kaiser
has forbidden the treating of Ger
man soldiers, while Earl Kitchener
asks the British troops to abstain
from drinking while abroad is
significant of a new order of things
In warfare. The suppression of the
sale of absinthe in Paris, if not
strictly military measure. is promp-
ted by the emergency of war.
A temperate army was some
thing not conceived of in the old
theories of war. But, in fact, a
drunkard is today as much out of
place in an army as he would be on a
battle-ship. A modern army is a
fighting machine only less complex
in its nature than a modern navy
and equally dependent on sobriety
in the ranks.
Perhaps another Trafalgar or
Waterloo could be fought on grog,
but the military authorities today
take no chances with Dutch courage
1t will seem singular that war, in
which the worst passions of mankind
find play, should incidentally serve
the cause of moral reform. Yet
the practical gain to temperance is
the same whether men are kept
sober on behalf of industrial eff
cheney or by the injunctions of army
commanders"
