ton and stout to Il cents half-pint.
Burton by the barrel was made $42,

Drys Ask Prohibition
At dry meeting held in Queens
Hall, in London, on March q, under
the auspices of the Strength of Bri-
tain movement, of which Sir Alfred
Booth, chairman of the Cunard Line,
is president, the following resolution
was adopted:
THAT this meeting, believing the
concentration of our utmost resources
to be essential to the winning of the
war, calls the attention of the govern
rnent to the grave danger arising
from the continued manufacture and
sale of alcohol 1t sees with increas-
ing anxiety the daily destruction OF
food by brewers and distillers, while
our food supplies are in great peril;

ENGLAND STRIKES BLOW At LIQUOR

Agitation to prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicants in this
country during the war directs at
tention to the policies of foreign
countries, writes Oscar z. Hewitt in
the Chicago Herald.
In London correspondence to The
Herald it was stated:
"The government would avoid a
decision on total Prohibition of man
ufacture during the war, il possible,
because of the controversial character
of the question, but ever since hos
tlities began there has been a steady
Tightening of the restrictions on man
ufacture. The amount of beer manu-
featured in England the year prior to
the war was approximately 100000
barrels. This has been restricted dur
ing 1917 to 100000 barrels, a re-
duction of more than u per cent. If
a decision for total Prohibition is
made it seems almost certain from
the expressions of those who have
spoken that persons engaged in the
liquor business will be compensated
for their property"
Shows Big Decrease
In the same letter was much other
information relating to the liquor
traffic. 1t shows that drunkenness
has decreased one-half in London
and in 40 other towns and cities Of
more than 100000 inhabitants in
Great Britain.
The. figures were supplied by Sir
Worthington Evans. He said the
convictions for drunkenness in the
cities and towns under the central
control board were approximately as
follows:
1918. 1914. 1915. 1916.
Men. 10000 $4,000 $4,000 5000
Women 10000 $1,000 $4,000 $4,000

Letter From Army Officers

Many speeches were made and let
tiers read at this gathering. Among
the letters was one from Lieutenant
Colonel Sir Alfred Pearce Gould, who
had been ordered to the front just
before the meeting.
He wrote: ITO win the war surely
and quickly, and with the least posi-
BILE injury to OUR countrymen and
countrywomen, and with the smallest
legacy of evil in the future, I plead
for Prohibition, total, general, immc-
date"
Lord Claiming said: "I have al
ways regretted that the whole cabinet
did not follow the example of the
king and Lord Kitchener and insist
upon Prohibition in 1914"
Herbert p Casson said that through
drink he estimated Great Britain "is
losing 100000 meals a day."
General Sir Reginald Hart, V. c.,
wrote that Prohibition would be the
greatest event in the history of the
British empire.

 brought up heavy re-inforcements for yesterdays offensive and the further attempts on their part to oust the Brit ish from the newly won territory int Cambrai sector were not unexpected.
 The Germans in their northern at tack met a complete reverse at the hands of the counter attacking British and the enemy suffered exceedingly heavy losses both in men killed and wounded. This attack extended from a point just west of Moeuvres, about Bourbon wood and thence down to the region of Cantaing.
 The man effort of the enemy was centered between Moeuvres and Bour- lon wood. The assault began at about twenty minutes of o'clock or ap- proximately two hours later than the opening of the southern offensive.
 The enemy infantry went over the ridge between Moeuvres and Bourbon wood in dense masses, and as they swept down the slopes toward the Ba- paume- Cambrai road they came under the fire of the British artillery. The British gunners had so many targets that they hardly knew where to begin the shooting, but immediately poured veritable deluge of shells. among the advancing German ranks, and the British machine guns and rifles also | took part in the canguinary business.
 The Germans fell by the scores as they advanced over the ridge in close formation, but they kept comming on | British infantry men were thrown into 1 the battle line for a counter attack, and hot fighting ensued. The Germans succeeded in penetrating to the very | Bapaume- Cambrai highway northwest | of Graincourt. but this was as far as | they were able to get.
 Notwithstanding their terrible losses | the Germans continue to rush over the ridge in waves all day, and all ways with the same result-they came under intense fire and were moved down in great numbers. Late in the day British counter attacks succeeding in pushing the enemy back virtually to the same line they had left.
 The Germans today claim they have captured a very small amount of trenches a little in advance of their old lines.

They may be forced to retreat again and again. until their brothers who are now quitting under false promises, realize that separate peace would mean the ruin of Russia for all time.
 One thing sure, however, there will always be a Russian front and ques- ton which may bear close consldera tion soon will be whether the Amer ican army could not be employed ad- vantageously where the eastern front remains firm. The people who bave the welfare of the country at heart will never submit to the Bolshevlkl and as soon as they see an opportunity they will overthrow them.

Forbes & Wallace Celebrate the Event of Their 43d Anniversary.

One of the best and widest known is the Forbes 6 Wallace store in Springfield. Next Wednesday marks the beginning ot their 43d Anniversary Sale, a sale of four-days' duration and the biggest sale of the year.
 Forty-three years ago the store of Forbes & Wallace was founded at the corner of Main and Pynchon streets, store with total floor space of 10, = OOO square feet and a handful of em- ployees. To-day, after the completion of forty-two years of successful busi ness building, the store occupies a group of buildings with floor space for selling of 4OO,OOO feet, besides the storage space, stables, garages etc., and plans are now under way for further extensive alterations and additions.
 Few of the patrons of the Forbes 6 Wallace store realize the magnitude and completeness of this great in- stitution. It has it's own lighting, refrigerating and water supply plants. It has it's own bakery and public restaurants. It has rest and writing rooms, parcel checking service, trans fer service, information departments, very extensive delivery system and modern service and convenience for the advantage of it's patrons. The growth and advancement of this store have always been somewhat ahead of the demand, and this anticipation ot future requirements and bettorment is largely responsible for the prom thence which this store holds among the leading institutions.
 For their employees, who number regularly on an average of 6OO, and increasing to more than 1900 during the Christmas season, they have airy and attractive rest and reading rooms on the fifth floor, with lunch room connected, wherefo is served at cost to employees Employees are also furnished with free medical con- suItatiOn.
