TALK WAR PROHIBITION.
Visiting Missions Take Up Question
With American Officials.

time prohibikion took place at the con-
ference among French and British mis-
sion members and American officials, it
was learned today.
1t is understood that the opinion was
expressed by both British and American
officials that prohibition may eventually
become a necessity in both England and
the United States.
No other prohibition measure is con-
templated in this country at present, it
is believed. beyond the pending food
control legislation which puts restrictions
on the manufacture Of spirituous LIQUORS.
In England plans already have been
formulated for absolute prohibition about
of malt in storage will be exhausted.
Prohibition will probably be enforced in
England in gradual stages because of the
opposition Of the laboring population to
absolute prohibition.

prompt reinforcements and driven back
on his reserves and with them down
