ENGLAND MAY PURCHASE
DRINK TRADE OF NATION
Premier Lloyd George Known to
Favor Step-Considered by
Liquor Control Board.

LONDON. December 2s.-The .pur-
chase of the drink trade in Great Brit
ain by the state is believed to be i'm
minent. says the Daily Express today.
The matter has been closely consid-
cred by the liquor control board dur
ing the last fortnight" continues the
newspaper. Several members of the
board have long advocated the pur-
chase. and the change in the govern
ment has brought a renewal of their
argument"
The Express quotes Sir Thomas Whit
taker. member of parliament. as say
ing that David Lloyd George, the prime
minister. is known to favor the step,
while several of the unionist members
are understood to agree with him. Sir
Thomas says he believes a bill calling
for the purchase would pass the house
of commons without difficulty.
Sir Thomas Whitaker was chairman
of the committee which advocated pur-
chase in 1915. when the cost of the
plan was estimated at between f250,-
900, 900 and 00.000.000. Since then,
however. the government has inter-
fered drastically with the production of
spirits.
The Daily Express asserts that fur
Their great restrictions in the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholics are GER
tain in the immediate future. whether
o. not the purchase plan is put into
effect.

Reserves Held Ample.

The reserves of manhood in the Brit
sh isles and dominions are ample for
thirty divisions to expand munition
works and to meet all legitimate de-
mands of the navy. the home defense
and air services. Nearly 100000 men
of military age still are in civil life.
The limit for age liability is still four
years below the German standard. and
no answer has vet been made to the
German auxiliary service act.
What is needed is vigor in the gov
eminent and a single minded deter
mination to win the war. We have
larger reserve of manhood than Ger
many, and the annual contingents of
youths in France and Engla nd together
are greater than the annual contin-
gents in Germany. 1t is no
longer possible to think of winning the
war by half measures. The new pre-
mier should state to the country the
measures necessary for victory and
stand or fall by them with the courage
we know him to possess"

GREATER BRInSH Effort
IN WAR IS DEMANDED
Conflict Cannot Be Won by Half
Measures, Says Times Mill
tary Correspondent.

LONDON, December 29.-The Times
military correspondent today calls for
greater British effort in the war. He
contends that although the French are
still strong. the reserves are less nu-
merous than could be wished for. Rus
sia he adds, will bring new armies in o
the field in 1917. but their usefulness
depends on their being provided with
heavy guns. airplanes al d mechanical
transports, while Russia's POOR rail-
way systems and other causes point
to the necessity of not eXagge' ating
what Russia can do. Italy, says the
correspondent. cannot easily increase
her forces appreciably: After admitting
that Great Britain has done big share
in the work at sea and financed and
equipped the entente allies, the cor
respondent continues:
There are number of changes to
be effected before we can say We are
winning the war. Germany met us in
the autumn with twenty-seven new di-
visions and thereby secured a stra-
tegic reserve which enabled her TO
conduct the campaign in RuTanla
without disaster in the west. We must
not only counter dispositions of his
character in time. but must be before
hand in the future.

.AUSTR|ANS LOSE
TWO DESTROYERS

Rome. Mar. 14,--An eleven-hour
naval battle of the Albanian port OF
Durazzo preceded the sinking OF the
Austrian destroyers Lika and Trig-
Law, 1t was learned today.
The ministry OF marine recently
announced the sinking of the enemy
war craft. A letter from Franz
Lugano. an Austrian sailor of Italian
origin, from the Austrian prisoners
camp, to relatives in Italy. brought
details OF the action.
Coming out OF our naval base to
lombard Durazzo. our fleet encoun-
tered the Italians" Lugano wrote.
We had notable successes, but lost
two destroyers. thanks to Italian
bombs. Destiny marked out my own
boat. the Lika. for one of the victims.
The battle occurred just off Dur
azxo. The first shot was fred at 7
a. IN. and the fighting lasted until
six in the evening. Shrapnel was
bursting all over our deck. and do
not know how many men saw die.
The dying were calling for help, but
there was nothing we could do. In
the midst of all this the Lika was
struck. Her boilers and munition
magazines exploded and she leaped
into the air. breaking in two.
"of 10 men on the Lika about so
were saved. Ten Of us were picked
iup by Italian lifeboats I had been
floating on some debris for two
hours. The others were hauled
aboard the destroyers with ropes.

mittee is the beet sugar factory Tor
Grants Pass, and TO that committee
and TO those who so unseltishly as
sisted them is due more gratitude for
their untiring efforts and excellent
results in their campaign for beet
acreage contracts than any one other
committee. Some OF the other work
lof the club Is also worthy OF recogni-
tion: The auto camp adjoining the
city park, which furnished aecommo-
dations to close to seven hundred
tourists during the past season. was
due to a club committee. which rent
I ed and paid the rent for the grounds
personally; the Seventh Day Adven-
tist camp meeting. through which
considerable favorable advertising for
the city was secured by the club; the
Twohy reception. although designed
to show only due respect for the
heads Of the company, was far
reaching in its effect and has resulted
already in unlimited good to the COM
munity; the reception to the house
appropriations committee. from
whom we hope later to secure results
In the matter Of harbor appropriation
for Crescent City. and the reception
to Governor withycombe are some
of the things your committees have
been engaged in.
There is much yet to be accom-
plished. In fact. the work is but
Just started, and with the increase
in the price of lumber, and also In
copper, these two industries bid fair
to demand considerable and increas-
ing attention. The sugar industry
must not be lost sight Of. Being a
new industry In the valley. and new to
most OF the growers. there is much
vet to be done in order that success
can result to all concerned. There
should also be a stronger demand for
and more attention paid to home
products, both manufactured and
grown; our full measure Of success
will not result unless there Is a
stronger feeling of cooperation de-
veloped and applied.
THE state grange has been in
