WHISTLES AND BRANDIES
0NDER BAN IN FRANCE

Total prohibition throughout
France of the consumption of such
alcoholic beverages as WHISTLES,
brandies and liquors, has been de-
cided on Wy the Government. This
is shown by the text in the Journal
Officiel of Premier Brands declara-
ton before the Chamber of Deputies
ON the subject The Premier said:
"The Government will ask you to
give it the faculty of solving by
DEGREES all questions of defense
which the laws are too slow to reg
ulate. A particularly grave question
which can be regulated only in war
time, the solution of which involves
the life of the country and its sal
walton, is the total suppression of
the consumption of alcohol"
The Premier's remarks were
greeted with loud applause from
many of the benches. Deputy May
eras interjected:

eyes, in the entire country"
said the Premier.
The use of the term alcohol in
this connection is understood in
France TO include such beverages
as absinthe, which already. has
been suppressed; whskies, brandies
and liquors, but not wines or beer

Much has been said and writer
during the past two years as q
national preparedness. From the
present indications it would appear
to be the policy OF the country to
bring defensive preparedness to the
point where we win feel secure
should the unforeseen occur. This
policy is resulting in the building
of larger and more modern battle
ships, more efficient coast dcfenses,
the Strengthening of the army and
such like precautions.
This is good as a present precau-
tionary policy, but something more
than these measures are needed if
we are to be a thoroughly prepared
nation.
As to the ACCESSIBILITY of reason
able preparedness, there seems to
be little doubt that it is needed, at
least for some time to come. Europe
is war mad. Mexico is hotbed of
Instruction. Unrest and lust for
blood prevails throughout the globe,
and at any time we may be forced
into Il war not of our seeking.
Hence if we are compelled to
fight, we should by all means be
prepared to fight.
And this brings us to the ques-
ton of soldiers. Without them, of
what avail is armament7 When the
call for the mobilization of all state
troops came from Washington, how
many respondent How long would
such a pitifully small army last in
such a conflict as now RACES in
Europe?
The truth is, we need to educate
more soldiers. Not more profess
sional soldiers, but more emergency
soldiers. We need to teach our
boys and young men not only pa
triotism, but EFFECTIVE patriot
ism, for patriotism minus efficiency
is a mighty weak article. 1t must
be backed up with a punch.
Why not, then, along with a love
Of country, teach our young men
TO DEFEND the country they are
taught to love7
The simple truth is, every school
in the land should be a miniature
training camp. Young men should
be taught military tactics and
trained in the manual of arms as
thoroughly as they are drilled in the
arts, sciences and classics. No able
bodied young man should be per-
mitted to graduate from a high
school, college or university until
he is capable of stepping into the
ranks as an efficient soldier. Not
as matter of arousing a military
spirit, but as a matter of practical
defensive patriotism.
Your neighbor may loudly pro-
claim his love for his family, but
if he is unable or unwilling to pro
tect them when danger threatens
you are forced to conclude that his
love is a very weak article.
just so with a love of country. 1t
must have a "Punch" behind it.
The only way TO put the punch
into the man is to train it there in
the boy, and the logical time is
right along with his other training.
