The British soldier receives a mini mium of five ounces week and a maximum of 171-2 ounces, according to the weather. 1t has always been the custom of the British government to contract for beer supplies for it's canteens. Such grave results have followed the prohibition of vodka in Russia that the minister of commerce has recommended the sale of beer and wine having a low percentage of alcohol.
 These foreign examples, however, interesting and instructive, do not concern our service, as it is neces- sary for the army to conform to the law of this country. It would be well if possible, however, to restore one of the social features of post eX- change life without offending temper ance sentiment, and officers in this country, as in England, have express ed approval of the effort to find drink that will appeal to the soldier m2re than does the average soft drink and yet not be an intoXicant.- T Army and Navy Journal

"Pl OHIBITION CAN'T BE ENFORCED" SAYS
 CARDINAL GIBBONS
Makes Hypocrtes, Leads to Illicit WhsI<ey and Robs the Government,
 Declares Cardinal

New Orleans, March ', 1914.-"Pro- nil ,ion will never be enforced in a Christian country" said James, Car dnal Gibbons, in a statement made public here today. Cardinal Gibbons,
 is paying his annual visit to his brother, John T. Gibbons, of this city. While I am an ardent advocate of temperance, l am intuitively persuad-
 ed that prohibition cannot be en- forced in this country" continued Cardinal Gibbons. Ut is calculated to make hypoc1ites and lead to the manufacture of illicit whislley, re- placing the good material with the bad, while at the same time robbing the government of the legitimate tax"

WHAT THE SOLDIERS DRINK.

A London dispatch of April 10 to long sought nonalcoholc beer has been found. "The official liquor con- trol board," says the dispatch, "is so pleased with tests that it has received to push the sale of the beverage in the officially controlled public houses in the unitions areas. The board has invited the makers to send a supply to the House of Commons to enable the members of Parliament to try it." A member Of the liquor control board said that the new brew smells, looks and tastes like beer; the only differ ence is in the effect. A workman who drank 20 pint bottles of it ad- mitted feeling rather full" but was not the least intoxicated.
 In this country similar brew is now produced. Piel Brothers, whose long established reputation as brew CTS entities their statements to accep- ance, announce in another column that "after two years of ceaseless, tiresome scientific effort they have succeeded ineobtaining a brew which has all the agreeable qualities of the best light beer with so low a percen- tage of alcohol Q.9 by weight) as to bring it within post exchange regu lations. Iceland, which has adopted the principle of total prohibition, ad- mits the sale of beverage containing not more than 2A per cent of alcohol and this amount or more is often to be found in even what are known as soft drinks. The most serious ob- jection made to the use of distilled liquors do not, in our judgment, ap- ply to fermented brews, and former ly, when the sale of liquors was per mitted at the post exchange, the regu- lations wisely restricted the sale of liquors to light wines and beer. The stringent requirements of the law passed in 1901 went beyond what many both in the service and out con- sdered reasonable, and prohibited the sale of any liquor that could be called intoxicating. But Piel Brothers have opened the way to the use of non- intoxicating brew, the small amount of alcohol in their Service Brew" be- ing less, for example, than the per centage which renders a beer sub ject to the revenue tax.
 The Germans do not appear to have suffered in the matter of efficiency by the universal use of beer. The use of light wine and beer is permitted to the German soldiers in the field. The German beer has 3.5 per cent of alcohol, and of this, as the British Medicinal Journal tells us, the Ger man soldier is allowed 1,793 grams, and 20 drams of brandy day. Ac- --.--~= =ru,ion of the FRench soldier has been increased and he receives daily 50 grams of rum containing 20 grams of alcohol. The Austrian soldiers re- ceive each day 0.5 liters of wine, equivalent to 40 grams of alcohol. -

The Public
Safety ValDe
An Observation.
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Looking around our city, with a de-
sire to take, as it were, an inventory
Of ourselves, our hopes and our des-
tiny, we are introduced to many and
varied phases of life. We see boys and
girls; young men and young ladies,
and older men and women, filled with
great thought and desire to make
our city and her people great and hap
py Then there are those who are COW
tent to let the world wag along and do
the best it can. Still there are those
WHO are bent on, and seem to glory in
tie downfall of all but themselves.
1t is to all of these that this message
is sent. To the first as an encourage
ment; to arouse the Indifferent ami
to restrain the destroyer
There are many things that can be
said by way of encouragement to those
engaged in work that will uplift aui
benefit our people, and much can be
said to arouse the Indifferent, but as
an observer sees it, the most import
ant things that concern our welfare
are some of those things which tear
down, debase and destroy, and it would
seem, need to be mentioned first.
This is a day of fads. The young
people have the fad of skating; the
ladies have the fad of playing bridge;
some of the men are content with SET
back, while others are-well, let's nCc
say what. But the greatest fad 0r
craze among us all are games of
chance or lotteries.
In many of our stores, operated bv
SOOu pSOpIS. LuelS are SlOI LudCulIleS
where you can put nickel in the slot
and get nickel's worth of something,
sure, but possibly, by chance, many
times more. These machines are play.
ed by men, women and children, hop
| ing to get something for nothing. No;
only is this true, but Observer sees
put upon our street corners various
gaming Devices wheels of fortune and
the like, attractive and beautiful
where you are cordially invited 90 tc
come and play with your money.
Seeing all of these things so openly
and plainly carried on, Observer may
enquire as to what the law says about
such things. Would you be surpriset
to know that the law; yes, the law D
Georgia, says such games of chanct
are gambling and is in violation of the
law and is punishable in the sam
manner as betting money on games O
cards, skin games, ETC.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if you will kindl!
give little space in your valuable
columns tomorrow Observer will give
in as few words as possible, what tn
Supreme Court and the Court of Ap
peals have to say about these devices
lotteries and games of chance. Or,
Of our attorneys has agreed to furnish
the decisions on the questions, aut
they will be presented tomorrow, /
you are willing. Yours very truly,
OBSERVER.

of the world by the pulse or heart beat of men who love the world and believe ih their fellow men.
 When America has found herself then she will be able to play the part which it was destined she should play Le. all men who believe the same hing keep together; let no kind os intimidation, let no kind of vague and fruitless promise, divert us for a mo- ment.
 Let us first see that We are a unit ed and irresistible nation. and then let us put all that force at the service of humanity in order that men may say that they know what human rights arc and that they live and understand nothing but what is humanely right. That is the simple message that I have come to deliver to you.
 ''N'e have set up government in response to the opinion of the people We have marshalled the men who think together, the men who feel lo- eether the men who purpose together in such hosts that I predict they will prove invincible. 1 am not fearful lest any of these lines of cleavage should run so deep as to touch the heart of this people, 1 know what this rising tide means. It does not mean confidence in any particular man; it means confidence in the des- tinies of America and the confidence of the American people that they will again govern their own affairs"
