.MANY CHANGES IN

London, Dec. 21.--Within AS
hours of Premier Lloyd-George's first
speech, England has been unprece-
IDENTIFY awakened to the actualities OF
war. Revolutionary changes have
come In such rapid succession that
the public would not be surprised at
any development, If national pro-
hibition on liquor was announced this
afternoon. It probably would evoke
nothing more than zephyr of hostil-
ity Actual prohibition may not be
30 remote, either. especially since It
is reported that liquor will soon be
entirely banned In Scotland In order
to increase the OUTPUT of shipping
not only BY permitting more work
by shipbuilding laborers, but by de-
creasing cargoes OF liquor
The public argues that II such a
move would argument shipping II
would probably also increase the out
put OF shells and foodstuffs In var
ious ways II applied vigorously to
the entire country.
