BRITISH LIQUOR WAR
DIVIDES CABINET
Lloyd Georges Plan for
Government Ownership

rBy Cable IN The Tribune.l

London. April 15.-The Cabinet. still

icy The division is not on the ques-
ton Of the necessity of control, but on
the methods to be adopted to deal with
the present crisis. The strong party
headed by David Lloyd George advo-
Gates his root and branch" policy, and
urges that advantage be taken of an
opportunity which probably will never
come again 70 secure state control or
the liquor traffic by the government
taking over both the manufacture and
retail sale of beer and the retail sale
of spurious liquors. if not their manu-
facture. The opponents OF this plan
insist that this is not the time for

George plan said to-day, $50 far
as it concerns the special crisis in
the manufacture of munitions of war,
is a local problem. | do not believe
England is a nation of drunkards. In
considering this question of munitions
you must remember the special circum-
stances under which we are living.
For months our workmen have been
going at top speed, working day and
night and Sundays, doing regular time
and overtime.
meanwhile many Of the best men
have gone to the front. The result is
that we have a small number of first
class workmen left in the factories.
shipyards and engineering works, mixed
with large number of natural shirk-
ers. The first class men work steadily,
and now, after months of overtime,
they find need Of alittle stmulant TO
keep them up TO top speed, while the
shirkers take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to put in an extra day at double
pay on Sunday and lay off on Monday
and Tuesday. The testimony of govern
ment investigations shows this.
81 believe the problem can be handled
locally, for example, by closing the
public houses in affected neigh borh ood 5
and establishing canteens run by the
government, but | do not believe this
is the time to complicate the great
question of victory in the war by TAX
ing up what is bound TO be a great
national issue-state ownership of the

While the Cabinet, divided between
the Lloyd George root and branch" sd-
vocates and the local problem pro-
ponents, is still arguing, the Admiralty
is going ahead with a reach for a
practical solution OF the difficulties.
Like all other departments, the Ad-
mralty for the first months OF the war
rushed men at top speed day and night.
II was found that, as time went on, this
plan resulted in decreased efficiency.
The Admiralty now will not permit a
man 10 work more than six days a
week, except in rare cases.

Patersonians interested in the cam
paign have been worried for fear the
evangelist should feel that the call to
Britain was too strong to be refused.
None of them ventured to question him
concerning his intentions, but there
had been a movement on the part OF
several leading clergymen to petition
him not to desert them.
Paterson Comes First.
George Arnold, the silk manufacturer,
who was chiefly responsible for sun
davis advent. was reticent when ques-
toned regarding his attitude toward SIR
Henry Randalls invitation.

feels it calls him. there he will go: The
matter rests entirely with him. NO one
else has anything to say about 1t.
The Rev. II. B. McCauley, one OF the
leaders in the campaign to bring sun
day to Paterson, expressed skepticlsm
as to whether it would be advisable
for the evangelist to respond to call
to preach only prohibition.
Sunday conducts complete gospel
campaign" he said. "He does not
specialize in one department only, put

aims at all the sins of society, not at
a single one. 1t seems TO me that work
such as the English wish him to do

influence upon him.

Albany, April 15.-Professional Sun
day baseball was given its death blow
in the Assembly to-day, in spite OF one
of the most impassioned pleas made for
a bill In the House this session. As
semblyman Arthur G. McElroy, Of Buf-
faio, its introducer, made such an effort
in his speech that he was almost ex-
hausted on taking his seat. As he
talked he dramatically scattered letters
favoring the bill among the members,
picture your sons" he shouted, sit
ting in a grandstand on a Sunday after
noon witnessing an innocent sport, sur
rounded by Gods fresh air and sun
shine. On the other hand, picture them
at the low resorts open Sundays.
There's where they will be if you defeat
this bill. And instead OF the open air
and sunshire they will have immoral
surroundings"
The bill received only So Of the neces-
sary 76 votes.

to DR.. Alexander Lambert, of 43 East
Seventy-second Street, who attended
tho former Presidents wife. The nature
OF the operation was not revealed, but
DR.. Lambert said it had been a sue

be able to return TO Oyster Bay within
two weeks. -,
Mrs. Roosevelt was seriously Ill IN
1912 as the result of a fall from
horse while riding with Colonel Roose-
Welt. She apparently recovered after
several weeks, but il was said yester-

Colonel Roosevelt and his son, Theo-

operation was being performed, and re-
NAMED until Mrs. Roosevelt had recoy-
cred from the anasthetic. They left al

ternoon. The colonel did not appear
worried, and reiterated the assurance
of DR.. Lambert that Mrs. Roosevelts
condition was favorable.

that If Austria desired peace she must

TOLEVY
NEW STAMP TAX
ON ALL LIQUOR
Republican Senators De
eide on First Such Meas
ure in New York.
From . star Correspondent Of The rr,hun..

AFENth = ClAH correspondent OF tno l1lpOncI
Albany, April l5.-A direct tax Of
at least S1s,OO0,O00 was decided on by
the Republican members of the Senate
in conference to-day.
At the close of the caucus Senator
Elon R. Brown, president pro TEN. of
the Senate, declared only by the most
radical pruning Of appropriation bills
and general slashing Of financial items
asked for by various members of the
Legislature on behalf of their locsli-
ties and the finding Of new sources Of
revenue could the direct tax be held
down to S18,000,o00.
One of these new sources was found
to-day. when the caucus decided to
rush through a bill placing a stamp
tax on all intoxicating liquors sold.
This is the first time in the history
Of the state that a stamp tax has been
levied on liquors.
Figure on $4,000, 900.
Beers, wines, whiskeys, and in fact
all intoxicating drinks, in bottle. bar
rel and cask, will be taxed" said Sen
atOr Brown. by this means we hope
TO raise at least s3OOO,OOO annually,
and the tax is to continue for all time
unless some other legislature repeals
IT,"
This stamp tax will be in addition
10 the Federal tax now levied on wines,
liquors and beer, and bill will be pre-
pared to carry out the idea within the
next forty-eight hours. A committee
consisting of Senators Sanders, Bur-
lingame, Newton and Brown was ap-
pointed to decide on the details Of
the bill. such as how much shall be
levied on beer, Vhiskey, wine and
other drinks.
"With the liquor stamp tax, the Mills
secured debt tax, the automobile tax,
and other new sources of revenue,
we hope to raise s6,OOO.OOO to s8,0O0,O00
in all" said Senator Brown.
The majority leader said the caucus
decided not TO pass any bills establish
ing new state roads or increasing the
charges for maintenance Of old roads.
The elimination Of these bills
means a saving in round numbers Of
$3.50 900" the Senator added, "The en-
tire spirit Of the conference was that
we were to practise the most rigid
economy"
Two Recalcitrant Republicans.
The conference lasted nearly four
hours. One Republican-Will NJ.
Bennett. Of New York followed his
usual custom and refused to caucus.
Another Republcan-James Emer-
son. of Warren County-bolted the
caucus, after fashion. He could not
agree as 10 the proper way of taxing
LIQUORS. Senator Brown "sat on" him,
and he left.
Meeting reporters in the corridor,
Senator Emerson remarked: I'm tired
of this one-man power"
"What do you mean-Brownism =
he was asked.
Eyes, | mean Brownism. I'm tired
Of it,"
"Do you mean BOurbOnism?" was
asked.
"Whv, does he drink" said Senator
Emerson, innocently.
Senator Brown laughed when told
the story, and declared Senator Emer-
son was his most indefatigable and
loyal worker.

ZEPPELINS AGAIN
RAID EAST COAST
Two Drop Bombs on Five Towns
One Woman Slightly
Injured.

London. April 1.-two Zeppelin
airships, instead of one, as stated last
night, visited the east coast Of England
shortly after midnight, dropping bombs
on several towns and doing consider
able damage to property. So far as
has been ascertained only one person,
woman, was injured. 1t is said she
was only slightly hurt.
The airships dropped four bombs on
Maiden, in Essex County, thirty miles
northeast of London, but no damage
resulted. Bombs were also dropped IN
the Heybridge Basin, two miles across
the river. These set fire to some build
ings. The airships came up the Black.
water River and over the marshes and
circled around.
At Lowestoft, on the North Sea. in
Suffolk County, three bombs were
dropped, considerable damage to houses
resulting. A lumber yard was set on
fire. Three horses belonging TO the
railway company were killed.
Previously one airship had visited
Southwold, twelve miles south OF Lowe
stoft, and having missed striking that
town with its missiles, went on to
Halesworth, eight miles inland. 1t then
returned again to Southwold and
dropped six bombs.
Dagenham, April 16.-An aircraft,
apparently a Zeppelin, passed over this
town at l2 o'clock tonight. She came
from the sea, and proceeded at a rapid
rate toward East Mersea. No bombs
were dropped here or in the neighbor-
hood. She returned at | o'clock. pro-
ceedng in the direction from which
she came.
Dagenham is eleven and one-half
miles from the London Mansion House
Harwich, April 16 At 1855 o'clock
this morning a cigar-shaped airshlp
passed over Harwich, at a considerable
altitude, coming from the North Sea
! It also passed over Felixstowe and
went in the direction Of Ipswich. The
arship showed no lights. No bombs
were dropped here.

Oh. thou that on this April day
Went down the bitter road to
death.
While Freedom stumbled on her way,
Her beacon blown out with
breath
Look back upon thy people now!
Behold the work thy hands have
wrought
The conquest of thy bleeding brow,
The harvest of thy sleepless

From sea to sea, from palm to pine.
The day Of lord and slave is done:
The wind will float no flag but thine;
The long-divided house is one.
More proudly will Potomac wind
Past thy pure temple TO the sea:
But ah. the hearts of men will find
No marble white enough for thee!

Submarines Seen Leaving.

A dispatch from Flushing reports
the arrival there of twenty-three mem
bers Of the crew OF the Katwyk. The
men say that while the night watch
was being changed severe shock was
felt, and the ship began to take in
water. As the steamer was sinking
the crew took TO the boats, and while
rowing away saw the periscope of a
submarine, which quickly disappeared.
The Katwyk sank fifteen minutes
after the explosion. She was freight
steamer. built in 1908, and was 1887
net tons and 2Sl feet long. She sailed
from Baltimore on March 26 for Rot
terdam and passed Dover on April IA.
The Amsterdam "Telegrsaf," COM
menting on the sinking of the Katwyk,
says:
ave must expect that the German
government will, without loss Of time,
be made responsible for this severe
violation of the rights of neutral
powers. The talk of there being pyrites
among the cargo of grcin or that the
ship was about 70 be chartered by the
British government cannot now be dis
cussed. The plain fact is that a Dutch
ship. chartered by the Dutch govern
ment, has been torpedOed OF the Dutch
coast by state pretending TO maintain
friendly relations with the Netherlands.
How many similar proofs of friendship
must we receive before we declare we
prefer open enmity?"
The Rotterdam "Maasbode" says OF
the incident:
at is quite impossible to establish a
connection between the sinking Of the
Katwyk and the commercial war be-
tween England and Germany, even in
its bitterest form. While the actions Of
German submarines formerly were re-
garded as a regrettable consequence Of
the general rules made by the bel
ligerents. a similar Interpretation now
no longer is possible, if the particulars
thus far available are true and the
sinking Of the vessel was due TO Ger
man submarine"
