upon the firebug. The Portland fire

What the War Moves Mean
(By ]. w. T, Mason, Former European
Manager of the United PTess.l


Manager Of the United Press)
New York, April 30.--The effort of
the British government to increase the
efficiency of British labor by raising
the prices of heavy liquors and tempt.
ing the workingmen to change to light
beers, practically will end in failure.
For the first time since the war began
the house Of commons has refused to
give the government unanimous support
and before parliament finally sane.
tiOns the government s anti.intoxica.
ton bill, there is certain to be further
criticism of the high cost of getting
drunk. The bill will doubtless be pass.
ed into law, possibly after some detail
ed alterations, but it is improbable that
the workingmen will accept it kindly.
Light beers are seldom drunk by Eng.
lishmen, and for them to replace the
heavy beverages with de-alcoholized
brews would require almost as much
strength Of will as to sign the pledge
outright. The immediate probability,
therefore, is that workingmen will pay
the greater cost Of the heavy beer ales
and porters and will economize in other
ways possibly at the expense of home
life.
Government Needs Revenue.
The love of the British workingmer
for highly Intoxicating beers is due
not q little to the fiscal needs Of the
present and past British government
Repeated efforts have been made by
brewers to secure the government S con

success. A de.alcoholizing device wa,
patented some time ago in England, but
when the brewers began using it tn,
excise department stepped in and for

9 hohi2ed product, The reason for thi
action was fear of loss Of revenue
, since the largest contributors to th
British exchequers are brewers.
On the outbreak of the war severn
brewers again applied to the govern
ment for permission to de.alcoholiz
