RA1IONS OF RUM TO BRiTlS,I
TROOPS VIGOROUSLY OPPOSED

London, March 26.--(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press -Oppo-
sition to the action of the war office in
supplying rations of rum to the British
troops at the front is manifest in many
sections of the British press. Although
the war office in defense of its action
stated that the allowance of rum was
regarded by the military authorities
as medicinal supply rather than a
part of the food ration large part OF
the demand for the abolition of the
alcoholic ration comes from the med
ica profession.
A round dozen physicians, all of
them leaders in their profession,
were signers of a recent appeal to the
government to follow the lead of Rus
sia in abolishing absolutely the sale
of spirituous liquors in Great Britain
for the duration of the war.
Speaking in behalf of the army
medical corps, Captain Sir Victor
iiorsley, a well.known medical and
scientific leader, contributes an article
to the current issue of the British
Medical Journal, demonstrating
against the issue of rum to the soldiers
as an alleged protection against cold
and damp. He says:
"All medical scientists now know
that although alcohol produces a tenn
porary flush on the surface of the
skin, this is due to rush of blood to
fill the arteries slackened by alcohol,
and that the excess of blood thus
driven to the surface loses its heat
and on returning to the interior chill
led by such exposure, inevitably low
ers the body temperature.
Although army regulations says the
rum is only issued by order of the
commanding officer on recommends
tion of the medical officer, the spirit
is no part of the medical stores. but is
in the commisariat with the food sup
plies, and in many battalions has been
issued daily in and out of the trenches
to every man who would accept it.
THE spirit drinking habit in the
British army was first contracted dur
ing the Duke of M'arlborough's cam
paign in Flanders two hundred years
ago. 1t is a national misfortune that
this story of 200 years ago is being
repeated, for our army is again as
then. being taught to become victims
to the spirit-drinking habit.
"In the American Civil War, when
McClellan's great army on the banks
of the Potomac endured several weeks
of severe hardships in trenches, it was
determined to issue spirit rations, but
after one month the rations were
withdrawn. because the men were

MOUNTAIN PASSES

Rome, July ia statement given
out at the Italian headquarters reads
as follows:
In the Upper Val Camonica the en-
emy, having advanced through the
Venerodolol and Brizio passes, made
an attack in force against our posi-
tions near Rifugio Garibaldi. but was
repulsed with loss, leaving a few
prisoners.
Our troops, after driving back the
adversary, occupied the two passes,
which are at a height of more than
10000 feet.
"In Carnia the enemy, profiting by
fog and darkness, delivered two de-
termined attacks on Mount Cogliano
and Mount Pizzo Avostano. Both at.
tacks were repulsed.
"In the Isonzo region the situation
at Preppippappy is unchanged The
enemy, by small attacks, especially at
night, and by heavy artillery fire, has
continually sought to cause losses, to
hamper our advance, and above all to
force our batteries to reply and thus
reveal our positions"

before English prize courts shall have
their rights settled by international
law and not by British orders-in-coun.

Secretary Lansing, in explaining
the communication, said that this is
not to be confused with a general
note now in preparation concerning
British interference with American
commerce. The statement is intend
ed to protect the rights of American
citizens whose cases will be tried by
Great Britain's prize courts.

HOPE TO DESTROY

London July IA new German
offensive of huge proportions, with
Riga, a great Russian seaport and the
seat OF the governor general of the
Baltic provinces, as it's objective, is
revealed in the latest official state

Military experts here construe the

Both the German and Russian com

forces are at the Windau river near
Goldingen, which is only eighty miles
from Riga. the great strategic COM
mercial metropolis in the Gulf of Riga
and on the Upper Baltic.
An official statement received from
Petrograd adds details of sanguinary
fighting all along the new line in eff

vance which now is being concentrate
ed on Riga and on Warsaw, while the
Austro- -Hungarians are moving north

is said, being the palace of a Polish

British Verdict on Sinking
of the LuSitania.
FAILED TO OBEY ORDERS

Stated That Captain Turner Did Not
Follow instructions of Admiralty,
but Loss of Ship Cannot Be Attribut-
ed to This Action, the Court Says.
London. July 19.-That the Lusi-
tania was torpedoed mot merely with
the intention OF sinking the ship, but
also of destroying human lives" is
the charge made in the official find
ing of Lord Mersey, who presided at
the board of trade inquiry.
Lord Mersey held the German
charge that the Lusitania was armed,
that she carried masked guns and
trained gunners, and that she was be-
ing used as a troop transport, had
been proven utterly untrue.
THE Lusitania, the evidence show
ed, carried a number of cases of cart
ridges, which were duly manifested,
but no other explosives" he says.
"She carried nothing which might
of the United States laws"
Lord Mersey further found that the
liner was torpedoed without warning
and that none of the passengers was
given the slightest opportunity to es-
cape.
Captain Turner of the Lusitania,
Lord Mersey said, did not follow the
admiraltys wireless instructions i'm
certain respects. But he expressed
serious doubt if the liner could have
escaped destruction if the admiralty's
advice had been followed to the let
ter. and he declared the sinking of
the Lusitania should not be attribut-
ed to Turner's failure to follow ad-
miralty recommendations.
Advice Not Obligatory.
"The advice given him by the ad-
miralty was not obligatory, nor in
tended to deprive him of the right to
exercise his own judgment" Lord
Mersey holds. "The blame for this
cruel destruction of life must rest
solely with those who exploited and
committed the crime"
Lord Mersey said he thought every
thing had been done to get out the
liners boats and save the lives of her
passengers. The stories OF some wit.
nesses about leaky boats and the in
efficiency of the crew in putting the
boats over were. i'm most instances,
held 10 be unfounded.
The admiralty was also absolved OF
all blame by Lord Mersey. He de-
clared admiralty officers had devoted
the greatest thought and care to the
submarine peril and had diligently
collected ell information likely to be
needed TO safeguard the Lusitania on
her trip from New York to Liverpool
The fact that the Cunard company
had ordered some of the boilers
closed down Lord Mersey also held
was insignificant
