"The war has upset everything and
when 1t is over the falling back into

"There are two alternatives. One is
that the war will have sObered the mil
lions who have passed through the
fires. whether in France or in the an.
Xieties at home. Their vision will
have been broadened, their sympathy
deepened, their outlook and purpose
made clearer, firmer and more exalted.
There are millions who have been in
daily contact with death, walking
hourly over its trap doors. They have
come into contact with very terrible
realities. That is one view.
"The other is that there are mil
lions who for these years have en-
dured privations, discomfort, wretch

who have made up their minds to have
good time for the rest of their lives

PRESENT WAR FIRST
BIC CONFLICT To Be
FOUGHT ON TOBACCO
Uncountable Millions OF c.
garets Have Been Sent To
British Soldiers, Duty Free.

f2v Associated Press to Tie Bannerl
LONDON, Sept. This war, Lon
don paper points out, Is the first great
conflict in history which has been
fought on tobacco.
In all previous wars the nations en-
gagged have supplied their fighters
more or less generously with food,
equipment and munitions, but rarely
with luxurics In the present war pub
lie and private agencies have been
working from the outset in all the bel
ligerent countries to provide the sol.
diers with little extras" and the chief
of these has been tobacco.
To British soldiers almost uncOunt.
able millions OF cigarettes and hun.
dreds of tons of pipe tobacco have
been sent, duty free. But despite
these enormous shipments, the CON
sumption of tobacco in the British
Isles has steadily increased The cost
of tobacco has climbed from 12 cents
to as cents a pound for the low. grade
dark American product, and a light
China tobacco used for blending pur-
poses has jumped from 12 cents to 96
cents a pound.
Anxiety and nervous strain insep-
arabic from a great war are held re.
sponsible for the increase in smoking
at home. Testimony from the front
is that without generous supplies Of
tobacco the men could not Withstand
the strain of continuous conflict.
England's chief source of supply is
the United States, and the fear is en-
tertained here that owing to the wars
possible interference with production
there and an increased home demand,
the amount available for this country
may be materially lessened. Bonded
stocks here are even now dangerously
depleted owing to decreased imports
France and Italy, with less extensive
sources of supply, have spared no ef.
forts to meet the tobacco needs of
their soldiers, and the same Ia true
of Germany.
The London press is speculating
whether 1t may not yet become nee
essary to institute some system of to.
bacco. rationing for those smokers
not engaged in productive war work.
