PROHIBITION PROGRESS.

(By JAMES MIDDLETON. in Worlds
About two years ago Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan gave diplomatic din
ner in Washington, distinguished par.
ticularly by the absence of wine. I'm
mediately the world burst into roar
of laughter; Europeans, especially,
hailed the proceeding as an amusing
illustration of American provincialism.
A few months ago the king of England
announced that he would himself abb
stain from alcoholic drinks for the rest
OF the the .:, and that sa.. Vines cciiaa *,
longer be served In any Of the royal
households. Nine American states
have adopted prohibition in the last
eight months. France has legally for
hidden the manufacture and sale of
absinthe, and the Russian empire is
dryer" at the present moment than
Kansas or Maine ever were. Facts
like these testify to the progress that
the cause of antialcoholism has made
in less than year. When the leader
Of the most sophisticated society in
Europe follows the example Of our
own somewhat homespun secretary Of
state, the cause Of teetotalism has
ceased to be ridiculous.

MOVES TO MEXICO CITY
carranza Would Establish Himself
There Before Peace Plan 10
Adopted.

Washington.-Th State Department
has received advices that Carranza
is making every effort to establish
himself in Mexico City before the
peace plan adopted by the Latin-Amer-
lean conference can be put in execu-
ton.
1t is stated that already some of his
officials have gone to Mexico City,
taking with them public records, and
that Carranza will follow. Whether he
replies to the note of the conference
before or after reaching Mexico City.
or whether he replies at all. is said to
be a matter of indifference to this
government.
The government OF Carranza as a
factor in the Mexican situation has
been determined upon. There may be
some difficulty in Carrying 1t out, but,
unless present plans are radically
changed this policy will be pursued
rigidly.
Assurances given this government
by European powers that whatever
course is followed by the United States
with regard to recognition of Mexi-
can government would be adopted by
them relieves the situation materially
and will prevent Carranza from stir
ring Up trouble by obtaining assist
ance from abroad.
Gen. Villa already has agreed to the
peace conference and to withdraw as
as candidate and Zapata will do like
wise, but Carranza is expected to re-
sist even to the extent of conducting
a revolution against the new govern
ment that may be set up.
The most support to be given the
provisional president to be chosen I'M
der the plan OF the Latin-American
conference and the placing of an en-
barge on war materials intended for
Carranza, however, is expected to
make short work of opposition In that
quarter to the establishment OF law
and order and the installation Of con-
stitutional form of government in Mex.
leo by the people themselves.

EFFECTS OF BEER DRINKING.

@4tS ~
The political strength of liquor II
furnished by the wine and beer drink
ers. Whisky interests may be better
organized than the brewers and inter.
fere more actively In politics, but
the votes which make possible the
sale OF intoxicants are not furnished
by whisky drinkers, who do not al.
ways vote as they drink. The beer
drinker generally will vote to protect
his habit, because he is far from con-
WINGED Of its malignancy.-From Edi.
torial in Chicago Tribune.
And that is why the w. G. T. U. and
other temperance organizations are
bringing to the masses the truth about
beer and its malignant effects upon
the human organism. Concerning
those effects the Life Extension insti,
tute says in published statement:
"One-half of one quart of beer is
sufficient to distinctly impair memory,
lower intellectual power and retard
simple mental processes, such as the
addition of simple figures. This mar.
cotic or deadening influence is first
exerted on the higher reasoning pow
ers that control conduct, SO that the
lower activities Of the mind and nerv-
Gus system are for time released.
The everyday, well-poised, self-con-
trolled man goes to sleep, as 1t were,
and the primitive man temporarily
wakes UP. Eventually, tine nervous
system is narcotized, and the drinker
becomes sleepy. Muscular efficiency
is at first increased little. and then
lowered, the total effect being loss
of working power"

THE SOCIALIST VIEW.

The special committee appointed by
the Socialists a year ago to study the
liquor problem says in its report, pre-
scented May 10 to the national commit
tee in Chicago that total abstinence
Is the only absolutely safe and wise
course to pursue" In view of the dis
astrous effects Of excessive drinking.
Many OF the authorities quoted In
the report in condemnation Of beer
are German. Among alcohol's recorded
opponents are 800 German and Aus

beer is not the harmless beverage

is."

OUTLINE OF GERMAN POLICY
Germany Promises That the Lives Of
Americans viii Not Be Endan-
uered BY Undersea Boats.


New York.-The International News
Service is able to present from a high
and authoritative source the conces-
sions on submarine warfare offered to
Secretary Lansing by Ambassador
Bernstorff.
Official confirmation of these con-
cessions is expected by Ambassador
Bernstorff within the next 4S hours,
possibly within "a hours.
Germany admitted in diplomatic
terms that In her submarine warfare
she had grievously wronged America.
She promised without qualification
that the life of not one American citi-
zen should in the future be endangered
by her undersea boats.
In the exact words of high official,
she pledged herself that mot one
American should 60 overheard
Whatever the form of diplomatic
presentation may have been, Germany
did, without reservation, assume full
responsibility for the loss of Ameri-
can lives aboard the Lusitania.
Her offer of reparation was so I'M
qualified that only method of deter
mining the amount Of damage remains
to be ascertained.
She requests the United States to
suggest some means of ascertaining
such damages.

is impossible for the reason that she
has already officially honored the COM
mander OF the successful commander.
Moreover. she vigorously maintains
that the giant Cunarder, loaded with
munitions, was in reality ship Of
war. She realizes, however, that this
fact did not warrant the taking Of
American lives.
The Arabic case is less clear cut
than that of the Lusitania, on which
she had official reports. No submarine
commander has as yet admitted sink

Germany will, nevertheless, pay for
the lives OF two Americans lost with
the ship, II sufficient evidence Ii pre-
scented by witnesses.
The United States is accordingly
asked to obtain all the facts and pre-
sent them for the consideration Of the
German government. A satisfactory
