Welsh and the
Liquor Question

Cr,ccieth. Wales.-A vigorous ad-
dress urging the people of Wales to
rouse themselves from their apathy
on the question of temperance was
given at Criccieth by Sir Alfred L.
Davies, X. b. E., c. B., at meetlhs
held during the annual gathering OF
the North Wales Temperance Asso-
citation.
Taking as the title of his address
"Reconstruction as Applied to rem
perauce and Social Reforms IN
Wales" the speaker pointed out that
II behooved them, in connection with
the liquor problem, first, to review
their position; next, to examine inc
causes why, for upward OF third oil
a century, the temperance program
in Wales had failed to materialize'
and lastly. to seek to remedy any
defects in their plan OF campaign
America, he said, had left Great Brit
ain far behind in its firm handling OF
the liduor problem. There the secu-
lar state was much more in earnest
in curbing that menace TO every
countrv's welfare than was the Chris
tian church in England and Wales.
1t was claimed that there was an
overwhelmingly strong temperance
sentiment in Wales. He doubted, nay,
more, he denied it. If there was, they
would not be content, as apparently
the country was (for no one troubled
himself very much about 1t except a
temperance society like theirs or an
isolated individual here and there),
that the maximum levy for the rails
ing of funds for the suppression of
unnecessary licenses was enforced to-
day in so few areas in Wales. And
this at a time when the liquor trade
was more prosperous than u had ever
been, and could well afford the maxi
mum levy! If the people of Wales
were content, year after year, To al
low existing laws to remain unused
to their fullest extent. what right
would they have to go to busy and
overworked postwar Parl!hnent and
dennan nd rnore stringent ones?

sistent with accuracy was made to
prevent delay. and that General

ming" Mr.. Baker said. has never
held up. withheld or delayed giving

General March, chief of staff. and
Assistant Secretary Keppel were with

illzation, said General Pershing was
selecting units for the occupa tional
force of about 1,250,OOO men and that
all the other American soldiers in

against certain laws affecting their
reindeer herds. The Laps rarely
have any settled habitation. moving
from place TO place after the herds
and often coming into hostile contact

TO have the names of between LOCO

suspected of being German spies or dis
loyal Americans. The lists, with q re-
port on each man, were compiled by
commanders of companies, heads Of
batteries and members Of the intelli-
gence bureau. Many of the suspects,
it is understood. are of German birth.
Internment for some is said TO have
been recommended by their command
ing officers.
In the Eastern environments, II is
said, was found the largest number Of
suspects. Some camps have sent in as
many as zoe names. The search for
spies has not been confined 10 the Ma

thorough in training camps for officers

Of the body.
DR.. Ernst Bayer, head Of the nerve
hospital at Roderbirken, has outlined a
method Of electrical treatment which,
It is claimed, often effects complete
cure in a few days, and is almost in
variably effective within a period Of
three weeks. The newspapers describe
his method as follows:
by the. application Of a gentle cleo
tric current which causes no pain what
ever, good results have been obtained
in few minutes or at the longest two
and a half hours. A course of treat
ment is required after this, which does
not last more than two or three weeks,
and in light cases is finished In few
days. New attacks may occur due to
excitement or nerve strain, but are
easily cured
