PRESS LAUDS CHURCHILL.
London Morning Papers Justify Him
in Quitting Cabinet-Question
Responsibility in Dardanelles.

LONDON, November Is. 3:o6 am
Laudatory editorials appear in some of
the London morning papers justifying
Winston Spencer Churchill in quitting
the cabinet under the circumstances
which he has already indicated. The
Daily Mail asks whether Mr.. Churchill
was really responsible for the "unfor-
tunate Dardanelles miscarriage" and
says that he leaves office with the good
wishes Of every one in the country.
Other papers, not friendly toward Mr..
churchill, also are asking whether Mr..
Churchills plans in the Dardanelles
and the other undertakings for which
he was supposed to be responsible fall
ed of their object through delays or
mismanagement in their execution on
account of other personages in the gov
ernment or administration.
Lord Rosebery writes to the Times
advocating that the government should
take advantage of Mr.. ChurchilPs re
grettable resignation" to take into the
cabinet some non-political man of busi-
ness, ''if only for the purpose of re-
trenchment and to supply sorely need
ed new blood"
The Morning Post strongly advocates
the formation of an official opposition
in parliament to force upon the gov
ernment improvement in the conduct
of affairs.

FRANCE PUTS A CURB ON
SALE OF STRONG DRINKS
Hours Are Restricted and Purchase
by Boys and Girls Stopped
Entirely.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 2e.-"No strong drinks
for any one before noon and no strong
drinks at any hour for women and
young people of both sexes under eight
cen years of age" Such is the govern
ment order that has finally opened the
eyes of wine merchants to the earnest
ness of the anti-alcohol campaign in
France. By strong drinks" are meant
all beverages testing over eighteen de-
grees of alcohol. They include most
of the 'aperitifs," Of appetizers, and all
brandies and liquors
In the opinion of most wine mer-
chants the measure kills the noon ap-
petizer, and the prospect of the loss Of
a considera Bile portion of their receipts
mas brought about an aggressive atti-
tude on the part of the liquor trade.
IL we can't pursue our business" they
say, I'VE can no longer pay our heavy
rents AS the wine merchants are

rents regularly, their menace has in
volved protestations from real estate
owners

alcohol in wine shops before noon." de-
clares the secretary Of the liquor deal

brandy in his coffee at the wine shop
will take his coffee at home and pour
into 1t without measuring the alcohol

grocery store; consequence, more drunk
enness instead of less"
Distiliers who have foreseen further
restrictions in the sale of alcohol have
anticipated them to a certain extent
One of them. who produces a beverage
that largely replaced absinthe, reduced
the strength of his product from forty
degrees alcohol to twenty-three de-
grees. The temperance advocates and
government authorities contend that if
the strength of such drinks may be re-
duced from forty to twenty-three de-
grees without appreciable harm to
business it can be further reduced to
less than eighteen degrees, with great
benefit to the public. Many wine mer-
chants also philosophically conclude
that the man who drank strong liquors
will content himself with milder ones
The attitude of the drinker himself
seems to bear out this theory; for the
most part he takes it all as a sort of a
good joke, with no thought of resist
ance.
