the news of the sinking of the Brit
ish liner Falaba by a German sub
marine, with the loss of more than
one hundred lives.
The Chancellor, in his letter, said:
I'VE are fighting Germany, Austria
and drink. and so far as l can see
the greatest of these three deadly
foes is drink" and added that he
had a growing conviction that only
the severest method would be of
avail in dealing with the evil.
The employers are backing what
Mr.. Lloyd-George terms root and
branch action" even to the extent
of promising to seal their own wine
cellars and to prohibit the use of in
toxicants at their clubs, while labor
leaders are equally anxious for the
institution of some prohibitory
measure.
In their appeal to the Chancellor,
the members of the deputation of
the Shipbuilding Employers FEEDER
alton were unanimous in urging that.
in order to meet the national re-
quirements at the present time,
there should be total prohibition
during the period of the war of the
sale of intoxicating liquors. This
should apply not only to public
houses, but also to private clubs, so
as to operated equally with all
classes of the community.
1t was stated that despite the
fact that work was being carried on
night and day seven days in the
week, the total working time on the
average in nearly all the British
shipyards was actually less than be-
fore the war and the average pro-
ductiveness had decreased, and that
while many men are doing splendid
and strenuous work, probably as
good as the men in the trenches,
many do not even approximate full
time, thus disastrously reducing the
average.
Notwithstanding the curtailment
of the hours they are allowed to
keep open, the receipts of the pub

countries, has been erected short
distance above the hotel. This spot,
known to the Germans as the "Drei.

Tongues-is a favorite pilgrimage for
all tourists, some of whom try to strad-
die this stone slab that they may boast
of having stood in three countries at
one time.
At point just below the top OF
the Stelvio a severe looking stone
building is found. This is the hospice of
Santa Maria, or Quarta Contoniera--
the fourth refuge station. Refuge"
or relief stations of this type are found
scattered along all of these high roads
of the Alps at convenient distances,
usually about four or five miles apart.
They are occupied by caretakers whose
business it is to give relief and assist
ance to travellers caught in the severe
storms of the early spring and winter
months.
Adjoining this refuge station to the
west is the Italian customhouse, and
a short distance beyond this building
the road becomes Y, the left branch
turning abruptly and leading down to
Bormio in Italy, while the right branch,
turning to the north, crosses the crest
of the mountains by the Umbrail Pass
and following soft rolling hills of the
valley of Muranza carries the traveller
by the new road, the Wormser Pass,
down to the Munster-Thal, in Sw;tzer-
land.
Zigzag Road on Austrian Side.
Standing at the top of the pass and
looking back toward the Austrian side
one sees the curious zigzags or loops
in the road, twisting down the sloping
side of the valley to the left as II

irregular streak down the side of the
mountain. This is the most difficult
part of the pass. Mount Ortler, the
dominating peak of the mountain range
surrounding the Stelyio, rises in ma

road to height of almost 10000 feet.

European war and the gains she
has made thus far on some OF
the Alpine roads connecting her
| with the Austrian Tyrol brings
INTO prominent interest one of the high
est and most popular of eii the Alpine
post roadside Stelvio.
| Although this road may not possess
the strategic value of some of the
other highways OF the Alps of which
the Italians early in the fighting Sc
cured control. to hold and fortify this,
one of the best built roads and the
highest between Austria and Italy, has
long been Italy's ambition, for the rea-
son that it would give her dominat-
Ing power over a most convenient
route to Landeck and Innsbruck, as
well as clutch on the upper reaches
of the valley of the Adige, west of
Meran.
Her engineers foresaw that the al
most perfect construction of the Stel-
vic, with its easy grades and excellent
roadbed, would enable Italy, once the
master of this highway, to rush great
quantities of troops and mountain ar
tillery into the extreme western part
of the Tyrol, where the natural posi-
bilities for intrenchment are such that
1t might be hard for the Austrian
troops to dislodge her.
The military experts of Austria
were not behind Italy in placing a
high value on the road and it has long
been Austria's determination to hold
1t at all hazards.
The Stelvio road-called by the Ger
mans the erjochstrasse"--is IA
miliar to many American tourists who
have motored over it in travelling from
Botzen and Meran, IN the Austrian
Tyrol, or from the Bavarian Tyrol
via Innsbruck and Landeck, to the
Italian lakes, as it presents a very
accessible and picturesque route from
either of those tourist centers to Lake
