BEER AND RACES ARE
WARTIME NECESSITIES
British Chancellor Meets Opposition
in Attempt to Put Down
Drink Evil.

London. June st appears that
foremost among the things which
Englishmen cannot do without even
in time of war are beer. whiskey and
races. The chancellor's hope Of put
ting an end to the drink evil and in
cidentally add some hundred thousand
much needed sovereigns to his reve-
nues were very quickly nipped in the
bud by the opposition and the Irish.
and it is now also certain that we are
to have all our usual big race meets
this summer.
EPSON as we'll as Ascot will merely
be shadows of their old-time glories,
for it is now definitely certain that
Queen Mary has induced the King to
stay away from the races entirely
during the war and society Is likely
to follow the royal example.
Until quite recently it was confidently
expected that the King would at least be
present on the historic downs on Derby
day. and it was a source of great regret
to race lovers when it became known that
royalty would stay away.
Royal Ascot. too, will be an exceed
ingly tame and sad affair. for by the
express desire of the King racing will
begin early in the morning too early
for lazy Londoners to reach the race
course in time. ard everything will be
over before lunch. The Royal Hunt Cup,
too. will probably be omitted from the
program.

TELLS ENGLISH GIRLS
JEALOUSY IS FOOLISH
Tommy Says Charms of French
Maidens Have Been Greatly
Exaggerated.

London, June 5.-Great as is the
moral strength of the naturally vir-
tuous young Englishman in face of
temptation in the form of feminine
charmers, it is not without severe mis-
givings that the average English girl has
seen her young man leave for the
shores of France. Nor is this very
strange when it is remembered that
the same girl knows the women of
France only from books In which they
are always depicted as dangerous and
interruptions sirens laying snares for
unsuspecting and childlike English
men, inexperienced in the ways of
the world.
In order to put an end to the SUI
ferings of the girl he left behind,
kindhearted Tommy has written her
letter which is published by the
Manchester Guardien" for the bene-
fit of other English girls similarly
troubled. The letter, which is certain
Iy not very fatterins to the young
girls of France reads:
You ask me. darling, II I see much
of French Young girls. and l cannot
DENY that ] do. for | am billeted with
d family where there are several
young daughters. but l hasten to as
sure YOU that | do not feel the least
attracted by any of them. l much pre-
fer the English girl, who is far better
looking and dresses better. l have in
deed had my fill of girls over here, and
| find that the French girls are too
affected and anything but natural in
their manners and their way of dress
ing.
Il adore the sweet simplicity of the
English girl, and even if ! had to stay
here for two years / should never
wish to marry a French girl. Tell all
your girl friends that they need not
be Jealous of the French girls. for our
own girls at home are thousand times
sweeter"
