Rapid Progress of Prohibition
eton in Worlds Work for June.)

(By James Middleton in Worlds Work for June)
About two years ago Mr. William Jennings
Bryan gave diplomatic dinner in Washington dis
tnguished particularly by the absence of wine. I'M
mediatey the world burst into a of laughter;
Europeans especially, hailed the proceeding as an
amusing illustration Of American provincialism A
few months ago the King of England announced that
he would himself abstain from alcoholic drinks for
the rest of the war; and that wines would longer
be served in any of the royal households. Nine
American states have adopted Prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally forbidden the
manufacture and sale of absnthe, and the Russian
empire is dryer at the present moment than Kan
sas or Maine ever Facts like these testify to
the progress that the cause of anti-acohollsm has
made in less than year. When the leader OF the
most sophisticated society in Europe follows the ex-
ample of our own somewhat homespun Secretary of
State the cause of teetotasm has ceased to be rldcu-
lous.
