BRITISH INTERESTED
in DRY AMERICA
ArchdeacOn Of Warrington Says
Banks Are Appearing Where Sa-
looms Were.

London, Sept. i3.-Britons are deep
ly interested in what Is. called the
"Amcrican prohibition experiment,
and every published statement con-
eerning the situation and the attitude
of the American public toward the
new order is eagerly read.
The latest addition to such eontribu-
tions is by the Archdeacen Of Warning
ton, Canon Howson, who has lust re-
turned from New York, and who un-
qualifiedly indorses the law. His i'm
pressions, eoneisely stated, are as fol-
lows:
prohibition has come to stay in
the States. Those most opposed to it
accept the inevitable. Those who
have paved the way for it are facing
law enforcement. A very large ma
jority, to judge by hearsay and eye
sight, agree that it is the best thing
for America. The threats Of no
beer, no work and riot and revolu-
ton are empty vaporings, and the
work of the states and cities is go
ing on unimpaired. Emuggling OF
liquor will go on for time, but by
January the government will have the
situation well in hand. prosperity is
the result Instead Of saloons at the
corners of the streets, banks are ap-
pearing. Happiness in the home,
hitherto unknown, has appeared on
every hand and children and young
people are having their opportunity.
"a dry America will be a terrific
rival to countries which are wet, Says
the archdeacon. HAll business men
had better recognize this if they have
not already done SO. Dryness does
not kill joy. voyaged on dry ship
and wet one, and the experience was
illuminating.I have realized the mar
velous power of whole-hearted, enthu-
siastic organization as never beofre.
eAmerica," added the archdeacon,
'shas no desire to thrust herself or
her views on Great Britian. She has
discovered a good thing. She. only
wants to tell the good news, and if IN
any way she can help progress, she IS
there to render that help"
