IS MADE ABSOLUTE
IN PRINCIPAL CITIES OF RUSSIA

PETRoGRAD, via London, January /.
The last appeal against Russia's pro-
htbition decree failed Thursday, when
the councils Of Petrograd and Moscow
rejected a petition to authorize the
recommencement Of the sale of beer
and light wines. The recent final order
to discontinue the sale of all alcoholic
drinks was issued with the reservation
that the city councils should have the
right to appeal for an authorization of
the recommencement of the sale of
; per cent beer and light wine.
The final prohibition order was so
unexpectedly issued that there was no
opportunity to provide a stock against
the coming abstinence. Between and
o'clock in the evening the merchants
received instructions that next day
there would be absolute prohibition
and hence there was no chance to give
warning to eager customers, who, on a
false alarm previously spread abroad

their turn to squeeze into the crowded
wine shops. The formerly popular
restaurants. which managed to weather
the vodka edict, are now almost with
out patronage.
The liquor dealers, restaurant keep
ers, wine growers and distillers
brought all possible influence to bear
on the city councils for authorization
to sell beer and light wine, assisted by
theorists, who, while approving Of gen.
eral sobriety. thought that abstinence
should come more gradually and that
the sudden cessation Of the use of all
alcohol would have an injurious effect,
But despite these influences and the
fact that not l per cent of the members
OF the city councils were teetotalers,
the councils rejected the petition by
vote on ratio of more than 4 to l..
The extreme measures to enforce pro-
libition even extend to the sale of de-
natured alcohol, varnish and every
conceivable alcoholic compound which
is not saleable without permit.
