reports concerning the reasons for the
return OF his daughter. Miss Mona Nc
Adoo from Europe, where she has been
acting as a volunteer war nurse. were
incorrect. saying:

some papers TO the effect that Miss Mona
McAdoo. my daughter. and Miss Cath
arine Britton OF Washington. who have
been nursing for some time in the Amer
lean ambulance hospital in Paris. are
leaving because. they are not pleased
with their experiences This untrue
statement does these young ladies and
the managers OF the American Ambu-
lance Hospital n cruel injustice.
MY daughter gives up her work with
great reluctance and only because I feel
that she Is not equal to the continued
mental and physical strain which nurs-
ing entails. Both she and l are most
grateful to the French people and the
managers OF the American Ambulance
Hospital for THE courtesy and hospitality
extended so generously and ~unstintedly
TO her and Miss Britton during their

but not in the way favored by the
registering old song.
A violent agitation sprang up
against drink Workingmen-and
many persons dreamed dreams, not
to be realized, of national prohibi-
ton. If we cannot have both drink
(for workingmen) and death-dealing
munitions, why, cut out the drink
(for workingmen) because the
death-dealing munitions we have
plumb got to have!
Increased war taxes had already
driven up the prices of beer and ale,
and very likely the best way was to
pile on more taxes and thus make the
beastly stuff Cbeer and aIe) cost so
much workingmen couldn't buy it.
Nothing was said then about put
ting up the prices of drinks at our
club so that we couldn't buy them,
but, of course, those drinks don't in
terfere with efficiency nor with sup
plies of the death-deaIing.
A promising movement to get
moral support for the abstinence
proclaimed by the king failed to get
very far because it failed to awaken
that chord of enthusiasm that YOU
might expect to be struck. The house
of commons contemporary refused
to throw down the Rum Fiend, in its
precincts, and only two of the cabinet
followed the king into the grape Juice
contingent.
Meantime, in the hysteria, three
salient points had been overlooked.
1. How on earth can you expect
men to be efficient when they live in
caves and never have enough to eat?
2. The German workingman is adj
mitted to be very efficient and yet he
drinks.
8. Assuredly, if British working
men drank to excess they did so be-
cause their lives were so bleak and
that drink was forced upon
