The list Of missing may be slightly
diminished later by the fact that some
Of the passengers who landed con-
tinued their journey without report
ing safe to the proper authorities. The
casualties occurred In two ways: first,
in the explosion when the ship struck,
and second by drowning when two
lifeboats capsized and only few Of
their occupants could be rescued. Capt.

At the British embassy 1t was stated
that the Englishman was not armed.
For more than a year no British
steamers entering American ports have
carried armament. Slice the English
man was bound for ar American port,
it is contended that she was not armed
and consequently an attack on that
vessel without warning would be in
fiat violation Of German pledges until
it could be proved that the English
man tried to ram the submarine or
TO escape after having been ordered to

early advices indicated. The latest
figures compiled in London show az
many as 112 persons missing, includ-

GERMAN EMPEROR
 DENOUNCES ALCOHOL

From address to Naval Cadets at Flensburg, Germany, Nov. 20, 1910.
 During my reign I have observed that of the great number of crimes appealed to me for decision, nine tenths were due to alcohol.
 Nerves are undermined and en- dangered from youth up by the use of alcohol.
 In the time Gin war) for steady nerves and a cool head victory will lie with the nation that uses the smallest amount of alcohol.-Em- peror William II, of Germany Adv.

From the Medical Review of Re. views:
 Alcohol as food is a joke and a rather bad joke at that-Woods Hutchinson.
 The United States Public Health Service brands strong drink as the most efficient ally of pneumonia. It declares that alcohol is the hand maiden of the disease which pro- duces 10 per cent. of the deaths in the United States. This is no ex- aggeration. We have known fer q long time that indulgence in alco- holic liquors lowers the individual vitality and that the man who drinks is peculiarly susceptible to pneumonia,-Lancet-Clinic.
 Alcohol should be reiegated to the limbo of discarded drugs which have been tested and found wanting. The social and moral mischief which the drug has done, as well as it's physi- cal effects, give sufficient reason why it should be accorded drastic treatment, and avoided if possible. A decided stand against alcohol on the part of medical men, a clear statement of it's uselessness as a food and is medicine, and of it's pernicious effects upon the animal organism, would arrest the attention of the public and advance the cause of temperance as no other means could do.-J. H. Kellogg.
 I do not hesitate to say that it is my opinion that the alcohol problem is, from a moral, ethical, sociologic, scientific, economic, medical and public health point of View, one of the most vitally important unsolved problems of the world to-day; it is perhaps the most baffIing and seri- ous obstacles in the way of mans progress toward a higher evolution. George W. Webster.
 
 In alcoholism we have to deal with a chief cause of national inefficiency This inefficiency is partly caused by the sickness and mortality due to alcoholism, and the numerous d. seases which it favors, or actually produces, including insanity. Alco- holism is a chief cause, if not actu- ally the chief cause of poverty. The evil really wrought by alcoholism is much greater than any official fig ures reveal.-Arthur Newsholme.
 
 Work and alcohol do not belong , together, especially when the work demands wideawakeness, attention, exactness and endurance,-Ulrik Quensel.-Adv.
