FULL PROHIBITION
TROUBLES BRITAIN
The Proposition is 0ccasioning More
Comment Than the Progress
of the War.

London, April 2, IL :55 a. m,--The at.
tention of the British public continued
to-day to be concentrated upon the
question of abstainance. For a moment
| il has overshadowed the war. Because
OF Good Friday no afternoon papers
were published, but ii is doubtful il
the blackest headlines chroncing mill
tary activity could divert attention from
the all-absorbng topic OF the possibili-
~ of dry country.
That drastic measures are contemplat-
ed is beyond question, but the public
is divided in the opinion as TO whether
prohibition should be total or the con-
sumption of alcoholic liquors should be
permitted under sharp control. Several
morning papers carried full page adj
vertisements presenting petitions with
the request that they be signed and sent
TO Chancellor Of the Exchequer David
Lloyd-George. The merchants and bust
ness men and other employers OF labor
are backing the petition idea.
The sense Of personal liberty. so strong
in England, may defeat total prohibit
tion. But the sense of fair play fights
on the side OF the extreme measure, for
the opinion is growing that If the EN-
ployes are to be deprived of their rights
to drink the rule must extend TO the
employers as well IL is believed that
the cabinet fayors total prohibition.

Bismarck accomplished. Enemies are
swarming about the empire, but will be
defeated. for he taught us 20 have fear
of God, but contempt for our foes, and
to believe in our people. Thus we will
battle and triumph and live for the en-
peror and the empire"
A feature of the exercises were patrio-
tic songs rendered by chorus of thous-
ands of men and school children. The
evening exercises included an address
by Maximillan Harden. The statue was
illuminated bu military sesrehlights.

MAN AND WOMAN IN JAIL.
Through Failure TO Provide Bail When
Charged with Adultery.

Through failure TO obtain bail, each in
the sum Of $500, Lucy Weston. aged 10
and Wesley North, who gave his age as
% years, were taken to the county jail
last night TO await hearing on statutory
charges preferred against them by Grand
Juror William Wishart late yesterday
afternoon A hearing in the cases will
be held before Judge II. w. Scott in
city court on the morning of Thursday,
April ;.
Moretown officers were instrumental in
putting the local authorities on the trail
of North and Mrs. Weston. II is alleged
by the Barre police that the couple came
to this city Wednesday afternoon and
went TO a house on Elmwood avenue,
where they registered as man and wife
and were assigned rooms on the repre-
sentation that they intended to make
stav of several weeks in Barre. Mean
while. the Moretown authorities request
ed Chief OF Police Sinclair 10 be on the
lookout for the couple, should they APP
pear in Barre. Apparently Norton and
the woman. as the police believe. became
suspicious of an attempt % arrest them
and were about to leave the city when
Chief Sinclair intercepted them at the
Central Vermont station yesterday aft
ernoon.
When arraigned before the magistrate !
on adultery charges, both Moth and Mrs. /
Weston pleaded not guilty. The woman
told the court that her husband, one
Patrick Weston. ran away from her
more than week ago. At that time
the couple were living in Moretown,
where North, who is said 70 be former
resident in Barre, was employed as
farmland. Mrs. Norton, diminutive in
stature and appearing 70 be scarcely
more than l6 years Of age, told the court
, moving tale Of marital trials, stating
hat her marriage 10 Weston three years
lgo was made necessary because her
,arents turned her loose in the world
rithout any means Of support. Neither
Sorth nor his woman companion Was in
position 10 employ counsel.

Ii is generally conceded among the
legislators that Senator Simonds caused
the unconditional surrender of the forces

goes the credit of having ascertained that
