ENGLAND FEELING
EFFECT BLOCKADE
AIN LOVER THAN EVER
BEFORE.
Prime Minister Declares Success Of
Allies Deoends on the Ability to
Solve the Tonnage Shortage
and to Hunt Out Submarines.

London.-David Lloyd George. the
British prime minister, on Friday
presented to the house of commons
In speech lasting an hour and a
half his program for coping with. the
serious situation arising from the
shortage OF shipping space, depletion
of food stocks and the German sub
marine menace.
The premier advocated the increase
Of home food production and the cur.
tailment of non-victual imports. To
this end he outlined a plan for speed.
ing up the farmer by guaranteeing
good prices for commodities over a
period Of years. This he supplement.
ed by announcement that the land
owner would be forced to cultivate
his land.
Premier Lloyd George said that the
success of the allied cause depended
on the ability to solve the tonnage
shortage. which was now affecting
he ordinary needs of the nation and
military exigencies. The situation, he
declared, called for the gravest meas
ures.
The stocks or food In Great Britain
at the present time are lower than
they ever have been before, Mr.. Lloyd
George said. 1t was essential for the
life of the nation, he declared, that
every possible effort be made to in
crease home production.
BY curtailment of imports Mr..
Lloyd George said he expected to re-
duce the demands on cargo space by
several million tons. Foodstuffs, of
which 100000 tons were imported
last year, will be cut nearly million
tons by looping off certain Injuries.

MORE AND BETTER.

The argument that the w0rkingman
will lose his job If the liquor traffic is
abolished is based upon the absurd
proposition that, If the liquor dealer
fails to get the money now spent for
beer and whisky, nobody else will get
1t.
1t Is assumed that the farmer who
now sells his grain and grapes, his
apples and cherries, to the liquor In
terests will be compelled to destroy
them; when the fact Is that figures
furnished by the United States gov
eminent clearly indicate that the
ability Of the American farmer to raise
enough grain to adequately supply this
country Is gradually decreasing. To
listen to the defender of the saloon,
one would think that nobody likes
grapes and cherries and apples, unless
they come In form of booze. There
are millions of youngsters who would
be delighted to have at least one
chance to eat all the fruit they really
need.-Charles Stelzle, Member of
Machinists' Union, and Secretary of
Church and Labor Department Of Pres
byterlan Church.

ALLIES TO KEEP ALL
GERMAN COLONIES
SUCH is THE ATTITUDE OF GREAT
BRITAIN, FRANCE AND
JAPAN.
Simultaneous Announcement That
There VIII be No Return to Ger
many Of Colonies In Africa,
Asia or the Pacific.

London.-The death knell to Ger
sounded, so far as the entente allies
can effect that result, by the almost
simultaneous announcement of the
British minister of colonies, Mr.. Long;
the Japanese minister of foreign az
fairs, Mr.. Motono, and the prime min
lister of New Zealand, Mr.. Massey, who
voiced the view of Australia, as well
as New Zealand. Together these
statements declare there will be no re-
turn to Germany of her colonies In
Africa, Asia or the Pacific.
This attitude is not only held by
Japanese and the British colonies
chiefly concerned. but 1t has the back
ing Of the British and French govern
ments, which have the largest inter
est In colonial Africa and Asia. 1t de-
velops the fact also that the late As
quith government was opposed to any
sions In Africa, whereas the new
Lloyd George government approves
this extension as In line with the as
pirations of the British colonies in
Africa. This In turn has established
that there will. be general reshifting
of African colonies, SO that the pos
sessions of England, France. Portu-
gal and Belgium will be made more
homogeneous, instead of being scat
tered and irregular In outline, as at
present

MODERATE DRINKING.

The degeneration due to the So
called moderate" consumption of al
cohol Is very similar to senile decay,
In the opinion of Prof. G. Sims Wood

alcoholic degeneration. however"
Professor Woodhead points out, "does
not proceed equally in every part Of
the body. The weaker tissues are first
attacked and the patient gives way at
the weak link of the chain.
"Alcohol calls upon the reserve
strength which ought to be held like n
balance at the bank to meet sudden
and unexpected emergencies. If you
have such physical reserve, you are
able to tide over emergencies and
wear out gradually, but II you let al
cohol withdraw your balance, exhaust
Ing your reserve, you may become a
physical bankrupt Mt any moment"

PERSONAL RIGHTS.

Replying to the personal liberty
argument of the vets, Clinton N. How
ard, who Is characterized as one Of
the bomb-throwers in the prohibition
ranks, puts It this way:
you have personal right to eat
putrld meat; / have no right to sell
IL. II your hog dies a natural death,
or with the cholera, you have per-
sonal right to grind II up into sausage
and eat 1t; but you have no right to
offer 1t for public sale. A man has a
personal right to corn his dead mule
and serve 1t on his own table. You
have as good right to eat your cat
as 1 have my chicken, or your dog
as / have my pig. The Chinese In
New York have dog feast at their
New Years celebration and the police
have never interfered with their per-
sonal right. But If you opened meat
market and skinned dogs and cats and
exposed horse sausage for public sale
the meat inspector would confiscate
the entire supply, close up the place as
a public nuisance and arrest you for
selling what you had personal right
to eat.
"We have law against the sale of
impure literature. We do not say that
man shall not read it, even though
that may harm him; because II is his
personal right to damage his own char
acter and corrupt his own mind; but
II he opens shop for the dissemina-
ton and sale of such literature to
corrupt the youth of the community,
society steps in and interferes-not
with his personal liberty to read what
he likes. but with his social right to
sell that which corrupts public morals.
Under this law tons Of impure litera-
ture, licentious post cards and immoral
books are seized and destroyed every
year, without compensation to their
owners; indeed, they are prosecuted
and fined or Jailed for the offense
against public morality and decency.
That is prohibition"
