Iulltu fIGSS DAdI AOIlttDOHutUl
LONDON, April THE British
cabinet this afternoon considered the
prohibition question at a lengthy ses-
sion. The ministry, it was authorita-
lively reported. was wavering be-
tween Lloyd-George's demand for
drastic measures and pressure on the
part OF the big distilling and brew
ing interests for Hands off," There
was a strong possibility that the ban
would be placed on all distilled
liquors, but that the sale of beer and
light wines would not be interfered
with.
Lloyd-George presented TO the cabi-
net the results of various conferences
with interests most concerned in his
proposal for absolute prohibition dur
ing the war period. He assured the
ministry that despite objections from
some quarters. the majority of the
labor leaders would back the govern
ment in any action it might take
however drastic. He reiterated his
statements that the gain to England
through a shortening of the war
would more than Offset the loss in
revenue from the liquor business.
Lord Kitchener and First Lord OF
the Admiralty Churchill also were
heard from. They presented the views
of the military and naval experts, but
their personal recommendations to
the cabinet we're not made public.

Failure to file the petitions means
the questions will not be submitted

were circulating the petitions and in
tended TO get the necessary number

WASHINGTON. April THE gov

steamship Odenwald at San Juan.

In answer to questions. Lansing de-
clared the department had failed to
note "and belligerency on Germany's
part" referring of course to its rela-
tions towards the United States.
In return for the Odenwald inves-
tigation, il was believed Berlin had
been asked to go thoroughly into the
case OF the British steamship Falaba,
destroyed by a German submarine
with the loss OF an American life.
Though the German embassy's latest
statement concerning this case was
for the public, not a diplomatic docu-
ment, the belief was that il accurately
indicated what Germany's answer
would be-namely. that the United
States should look to England for
satisfaction, inasmuch as the Falaba
was sufficiently armed to have sunk
the submarine, rendering quick action
by the latter imperative.
