ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, April 5.-England seems to
be rapidly coming around to the Lloyd
George view of prohibition as a neces-
sary war measure, according to the
British press.
We believe that the country is quite
prepared to submit to any discipline
that the needs Of the war may de-
mand," says the Manchester Guardian
IN an editorial typical of the British
newspaper comment, but the more i'm
portant as coming from the king dom
greatest manufacturing city.
1t is clear that if you are to have
prohibition at all, it must be total pro-
hloltion," the writer states after re-
viewing the various schemes for re-
stricting the sale in laboring districts.
we do not wish to press the ordin-
airy temperance arguments, for what
ever is done will be measure of tenn
perance in a secondary degree and
primarily a measure for increasing
national efficiency in wartime. If
drunkenness increased efficiency, it
might at time like this be accepted
as national necessity and even vir-
tue. There being no doubt that abstin-
ence. whatever else may be said for or
against it. does help man TO work
steadily and hard, abstinence is a du-
~. If the thing is worth doing at all,
it is worth doing we'll"
The guardian has also sent out in
Festlgators to report on the effect of
shortening the hours in which liquor
houses may now remain open. For
merly the houses opened in the morn
ing at o'clock in the working dis
tricts, although there was not much
business until about 9, when the wo-
men would appear. Now the doors are
closed until 1890 A. NJ. which prevents
an early start in drinking and gets
some of the idlers to work But the
change in the night closing hour from
II to 10 P. N. seems only to concen-
trate the amount of drinking and TO
encourage the sale Of bottled goods.
Great Britain's brewing and distill-
ing trade represents an outlay of near
~ billion and Il quarter dollars in
capital. 1t pays to the government in
licenses about 500 900 .O00 yearly. This

BEFORE RAISE IA

Honolulu, April 1s.-Naval officers in
charge of the work Of raising the SUBJ
marine F-i from the ocean floor outside
the harbor said today it would be sew
eral weeks before the hulk, which con-
tains the bodies of q men, could be
brought to the surface. 4 line that had
hooked the coming tower was cleared
today and made fast to the vessel. Three
lines are now attached to the craft and
another must be hooked on before pom
toon scows are employed to begin lifht-
ing operations.
Il was said a plan had been devised to
raise the submarine several feet and then
tow it over the shelving oceasT bed until
it struck ground again, this operation
to be repeated until the hulk could be
brought into shallow water. In straight
lifting, it was said, there was danger Of
the lines slipping off.

ductor Of the street car which was wreck
ed last Wednesday night in collision with
freight train at a grade crossing in
this city with loss of Is lives. was ar
rested today on orders from the prosecut-
ing attorney. He is charged with man

The prosecutor declined to state the
exact nature of the evidence on which
his action was based, but it was learned
that several eye-witnesses of the accident
have told the prosecutor that Asam, who
ran ahead of his car to see if the track
was clear, signalled his motorrnan to
come ahead without actually looking up
or down the rails to make sure there was
no train approaching.

CONGO
POLICY IS SUBJECT
OF ACR|D DEBATE

London, April 1.-(Correspondence of The
Associated Press))-The Congo question
has caused Carton de Wharf. r:iniste-
of justice for Belgium, to take issue
with Emile Vanderveldc, Relgium's So
cialist minister of state. NJ. de Wharf
tells his fellow member of the cabinet,
in a letter published in the Independence
Beige of London, that this is no time to
criticize his country's policy even if it
does not accord with his socialistlc prin-
ciples.
NJ. Vanderveldes precise words as
given in a speech before African Society
In London were:
IF Germany were anneXing the Con-
go. this act would perhaps not be an
evil for Belgium. Ii l say this would
rot perhaps be an evil for Belgium, 1

never have been a colonialist.'
This causes NJ. de Wharf to reply:
Il detest controversies between Bel
gians at this moment, but it seemed to
me Impossible to let pass without an
energetic protest the declaration Of NJ.
Vandervelde, which however he very
,yally gives as his personal opinion

The letter sent by Cardinal Casparri.
papal secretary OF state on April 5 TO
Cardinal MERCER, primate Of Belgium,
enclosing $3.50 francs $500 as per-
sonal gift from Pope Benedict to the
Belgium sufferers from the war, was
published here today Cardinal Gaspar-
ri wrote:
The Pope profoundly touched by the
misfortune OF the noble and generous
Belgian nation which is more dear TO
his heart because it was and is attached
to the church and the Holy See and
wishing to contribute to the relief of
the suffering of that beloved people,
sends an offering Of his charity in his
august poverty. The Pope increasingly
offers ardent supplications TO eHaven TO
obtain from the God Of pity a cessation
of horrible scourge Of war, imploring
Him in a special manner to tighten the
horrors of His beloed people"
The letter ends with praise for all the
committees which have been formed to
help Belgium.
