BY Emma L. Transeau

ton of hours of sale they thought
quite insufficient.
Drink, says Mr. Arthur Nee,
editor of My Magazine, has inter
fered with armies, held back ships,
muddled the men at the guns, and
wasted more money than we have
spent in shells"
The English government has made
mistake in seeking to cut down ia
BILE consumption of sugar while al
lowing enormous quantities of it to
go to breweries. Fifteen tons Of
sugar in one day was poured into one
brewery in Nottnghamshire under
the eyes of farmer who reported it.
Sugar is a valuable energy furnishing
food, but when feremented to make
beer or whisky it is wholly changed
into the poison alcohol and the &C
companying gas, carbon dioxide.
Army experience has demonstrated
that on hard marches sugar is sus-
tainer and beer the opposite.
Let us not make the mistake Of
closing our candy shops before we do
our beer shops, or of putting sugar
for preserving fruit beyond reach and
pushing beer in everybody's way
Above all, let us not make the mis-
take of submitting our soldiers to the
rum rations of the English army Let
it be a condition of their service, if
they go to France, or elsewhere, that
the present Prohibition of alcoholic
liquors in the American army posts
and canteens shall continue over seas.
The pathetic petition of the Cana
dian mothers that their sons be not
subjected to the rum ration was de-
MED by the British government, and
the results they feared from it, are
already being realized. Sons are re-
turning with worse scars than those
of shrapnel-the scars of drink and
vice. Let American mothers be guar
anteed before their boys start, before
they enlist, that they will be protected
from this unnecessary danger.
Prohibition in the United States
now, as war measure, might go far
toward helping the British govern
ment to take the same step and save
this country from the losses the allies
! are suffering through drink.

APPEALS TO AMERICA TO GO DRY

Writing from Belfast, Ireland, to
The American Issue, Catch PAP
Patterson (Robert j. says
Will you kindly permit me to direct
attention to the new relation in which
we shall soon find ourselves to the
question of alcohol, through the en-
trance of America into the war?
The American navy is dry and l
[ am sure no wet canteens will be toll
Grated in American army camps in
Europe. Many of the men of that
army will come from dry territories,
and | fully expect that the American
government will soon adopt national
Prohibition as war measure of econ
omy and efficiency While we, at
home, have paid little regard to the
fact that our British oversee brothers
have come from lands largely under
them to come into touch with drink
ing institutions and customs which
they escaped i'll their home lands, are
we going to treat with the same dis
regard the feelings and habits of our
American cousins from the land of
the Stars and Stripes?
The Kaiser said, about FIVE years
ago, that the next great campaign
would be fought on nerves, and that
the total abstaining army would come
out on top. While drinking among
our soldiers while in camp is not so
very serious as is generally supposed,
yet we are far from having total
abstaining army. | believe America
will send practically total abstain
ing army over the Atlantic. If the
American soldiers drink or become
drunk while on this side of the ocean,
we may be sure they will not do so
through alcohol provided for them by
their own authorities. Are we going
to be the means of inducing American

soldiers to become drinkers through
their palhood with our own men?
AS alcohol was ousted from the
United States Pharmacopoeia on the
first of January, 1916, l am sure no
rum ration" will be given to Amer
lean soldiers at the front Will our
R. A. M. c. authorities still hout their
authority in the face of the best med
ical opinion both in this country and
in America by continuing to admins
ter rum to men in the firing line?
A lady in Chicago, recognized as
perhaps the leading woman citizen of
the United States, visited Europe to
study war conditions at the begin
ming of the campaign. She reported,
on her return, that European soldiers,
British and Others, were drugged with
drink before going into a charge.
Whether the report was true or not,
| could not say, but it got great space
in American papers and was read
with alarm and disgust. Can nothing
be done by the power of public opin-
ion to have the rum ration stopped
at the front, and the wet canteens
ousted from all British camps? Will
the hand of Britannia seize Britan's
sons at total abstaining firesides and
push into their faces a temptation
against which their parents we're
warning them all their boyhood? 1t
will be an everlasting reproach to our
army administration if, when the war
is over, it can be said that America
sent over her sons and kept them free
from this temptation, while Britain
expected her sons to fight it and fight
the Hun as we'll.
In my work among soldiers | find
many of them refuse to take total
abstinence pledge because they be-
lieve they will be expected by their

British representatives are charging
us to profit by their mistakes, but
they have not yet cautioned us
against one which many Britons re-
gard as one of their worst. This is
continuing the handicap of drink in
their struggle to win the war.
Enough wheat to feed 100000
people for whole year could be
grown on the acreage devoted to the
barley and hops England uses in beer
making, according to an editorial in
the British Temperance Advocate
(Dec. 1870. This does not include
the apples that are turned into cider
or the sugar, rice, corn, oats, and mo-
lasses used up in the breweries and
distilleries.
1t does not include the tonnage re-
quired to haul the materials to the
breweries and distilleries, and to dis
tribute the products, nor the labor in
volved that might be devoted to pro-
ducing and distributing food
Immense as it is, this food and la
Dor waste is only part of the dis
advantage Great Britain has suffered
by allowing the liquor traffic to put d
drag on her fighting strength.

WILL WIPE EN- OUT
Drys of Clearheld County, Pa, Win
Court Victory Against Wholesale
Liquor Dealers and Beer
Manufacturers

The Clearheld County (Pa.) Dry
Federation on May p won a court
victory which will result in wiping
out. practically all the wholesale 1iq-
uor business in the county.
When Judge Bell last year granted
licenses to wholesalers and brewers,
he told them that because of an err
ror in advertising they would oper-
ate under license at their own risk.
In March of this year the Superior
Court decided the licenses we're void,
and the Dry Federation started action
against the wholesalers for selling
without licenses and to minors.
The trial of the Ed Schwem Com
pany resulted in verdict of guilty in
the second count. Several other de-
PENDANTS are to be tried. The court
held that under the voided licenses
the defendant company was guilty
just as if it had had no license at all.
