1T IS ANNUAL SCHEME
TO GET BIG APPROPRIATION


Washington, Jan. S.-Congressman
Bartholdt, the house of representatives
foremost peace advocate, refused today
to work up any excitement over Gener-
al Leonard Woods plea, as chief of the
army staff, for $6,OOO,OOO to buy more
field guns and ammunition.
"It is merely the annual war scare, "
said Bartholdt. "This time they re
using the Mexican situation to try and
frighten congress into appropriating
more. That's the one thing all this ag-
itation is fomented for-the single pur-
pose of influencing congress.
"I'd like to know from Wood what
has become of the money already pro-
vided. Before the Spanish war we were
spending $3,OOO,OOO to $35,OOO,OOO an
nually on the army; now we are spend
ing $1OO,0OO,OOO."
Congressman Kahn took Wood IS state
ment more seriously.
"It seems to me-" he said, "that the
general has outlined grave situation.
We are deficient in field artillery, and
it takes time to make and test guns. "

twenty years of service as editor of the
Veteran, much important data would

those years of depression and gloom

that Mr.. Cunningham unfurled the

and lifted it again to view, with the
unconscious hardihood that had char

London Drink Bill
Shows Increase
OF $25,OOO,OOO
PROHiBiTioNISTS FIND ENcoUR
AoEMENT DECREASE OF PER
CAPITA CONSUMPTION.
by Associated Press.)

London, May 9.-The drink bill of
the United Kingdom for the past year
shows an increase of twenty-five mil
lion dollars. 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 unpre-
cedented prosperity, for the Kingdom
had never experienced a greater wage
bill. The encouraging feature, accord
ing to the alliance, is decrease shown
in the per capita consumption, which
attained its maximum during similar
trade revivals in 1874 and 1899.
A discouraging feature is the in
crease in the consumption of spirits,
which leads with an increase of 1857
900 gallons. Beer is second with L.
100000 gallons and wine third with
131 900 gallons. The share of each
the drink bill for 1913 was eighteen
dollars, while the average for family
of FIVE persons was ninety dollars.
Since these figures do not allow for
the boys and girls under fifteen years
of age and the total abstainers, it may
be assumed that among the drinkers
the average per capita expense for
drinks is much higher than stated.
During 1911, 1902 men and 2O74
women were certified to have died In
England and Wales alone as the result
of alcoholism. This number does not
include those whose deaths have
been accelerated by the use of alec
hol. DR.. w. c. Sullivan is quoted In
the report as making the estimate that
twenty per cent of the suicides in the
United Kingdom are due to the use oil
alcoholic stimulants.
A startling feature of the infant
mortality figures furnished by the AL
lance Is the fact that in 1912, 1,17t
babies under one year of age were SUI
located while sleeping with their par
ents or other elders, and the organiza
ton claims that most of these cases
can be laid at the door of alcoholic In
diligence. The organization alst
points out the effect of alcohol on thu
physique Of the race, on crime ant
on divorce.
