Prof. Leonardo Bianchl an author
ity on alcoholism in Italy, agrees with
Lambroso and Ferri concerning the
degeneration caused by the wine
drinking customs Of his country. he
says:
II know from my experience that
deep melancholy, persecutional mania,
jealousy laading to the assassination
of the suspected individual can, in
many cases. be directly traced to over
indulgence in the gift Of Bacchus.
Most Of our great criminals were hard
drinkers before starting on their Gu
reer Of crime, or are sons Of hard
drinkers. The headquarters Of the
Mano Nera and other associations of
malefactors is the wineshop. We can
easily become master Of cholera and
diphtheria, Of typhoid fever and ma
laria. The grave problem before us is
the prevention of the insldious alcohol
ization of the nation. The degrading
poverty Of the lower classes In certain
sections Of the country, our lazzaroni,
the passion for gambling the terrible
infant mortality-for all this, and
more yet the special form Of our al
cohollsm Is mainly responsible"

TRICK WAS COSTLY TO HIM
conjurer Who "Found" Coins on
Street Car Floor Forced by Con-
ductor to Turn over Money.

A conjurer performing at local
theater got on a street car with two
members of his company, and after q
while, moved by some sudden impulse,
he pretended to find sundry quarters,
STOPPING her and there, and producing
them from under the seats, on the
floor anywhere, to the amazement of
the passengers, says the Toronto Mail.
His two friends laughed heartily at
the joke. Not so, however, the conduc-
tor, who came forward and sternly de-
manded the twelve 25-cent pieces he
had picked up" in order that he
might hand them over in accordance
with the regulations governing lost
property found In the cars.
In vain did the finder" protest that
it was only a conjuring trick. The
conductor obviously did not believe
him. And in the end, in order to
avoid compulsory visit to the police
station, he had to give up the coins.

NOTICE TO THE POPULATION.

On the 25th of August, 1914, inhabi-
fants Of Lunevllle made an attack by
ambush on German columns and am
munition trains. On the same day in
habitants also fired on ambulances
bearing the Red Cross. Shots were
also fired on German wounded and on
a military hospital containing Ger

an indemnity Of $4,000 francs is Inn
posed on the commune Of LuneviIle.
The mayor is ordered to pay over this
sum on the 9Th of September, 1914
at nine o'clock In the morning, to the

pEcREAsE IN CONSUMPTION.

The per capita consumption Of spiF-
ituous, vinous and malt liquors during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1919,
was, according to the final government
report, 1910 gallons. This is the small
est figure since 1902.
While the withdrawal for consump-
ton" Of distilled liquors was greater in
1915 than in 1915, 1t was less than in
any year between 1902 and 1915. The
slight increase was chiefly due, says
the commissioner Of internal revenue
to "the effective enforcement of the In
ternal revenue tax on distilled spirits"
1t should be remembered that the
Withdrawal for consumption does not
mean that the liquor all went down
the threats Of American citizens.
Much of it is forced out Of the gov
eminent warehouses by the expiration
Of the bonded period. When liquor Is
taken out Of bond the tax is paid and
1t is officially recorded as consumed"
AS a matter Of fact a large part of 1t
Is merely transferred to private ware
houses to await market demands, The
fact that large quantities remain in
bond until forced out by the time limit
is sufficient proof that actual cOnsump-
ton Of spirituous liquors is decreas-
ing.

The mayor of the town of Luneville
officially requests the inhabitants, I'M
der the sanction of the most severe
penalties, to abstain from making any
signals to airplanes or other details of
the French army
1t would be very imprudent, even
out of simple curiosity, to follow too
attentiyely the maneuvers of the air
craft that fly over Luneville, or to try
to communicate with the French out

The immediate steps to enforce this,
which would be taken by Colonel Lid,

considerable number Of hostages
from the working class as well as from
the middle class.
In order to prevent or repress GRIM

We in America know more about
legislative methods Of dealing with
the liquor traffic than all the world
besides. We know everything that Eu-

Europe has not legislatively dreamed.
1t is diverting to those who know the

preached by professional agitators,

In consequence Of this, the inhabi-

removed into the country. Persons de-
ported will be sent to the interior az
the occupied territory In France, far
behind the front, where theysMill be
employed In agricultural labor, and not
in any military work whatever. BY
this measure they will be given the
opportunity, of providing better for
their subsistence.
In case Of necessity provisions can
be obtained through the German de-
pots. Every person deported will be
allowed to take with him 30 kilo-
grammes of luggage household uten-
sis, clothes, etc), which they will be
well advised to.make ready at once.
