THE conference expresses the wish
that the members of the league Of
nations will leave to each country the
right to determine in all liberty, lepis-
laion concerning alcoholic drinks;
that they pledge themselves no, 10
use retaliating measures against any
state even If the legislation adopted
by this state should affect the COM
mercial relations of other nations. 1t
is intended that this legislation hc ap-
piled to all nations and must be in
spired by the viii to fight agains5 al
coholsm and not by disguised pro-
tectionist views. that the members
of the league of nations take the same
position in regard to any other dam

This threat Of the liquor men them

supplies of the thirsty has created a
shock of proportions that would
seem strange 10 an American mind.
A Yankee would consider such a
threat as huge Joke, but to the
Britisher. STEPPED in alcohol, it is a
horrible possibility. 1t is treated with
more seriousness than would he Il

Military Affairs Committee, of the
House of Representatives..
Permission has been asked of the
War Department for the use of
part of the canepnments when they
are released from military service
for use as training camps where
women can be trained as teachers of
setting-up exercises and semi-mili-
tary drills. These teachers will be
equipped to give training in indus
trial plants and public schools. The
corps has also asked for the release
of a part Of the cantonments for
recreation camps, where physicians
can send women and children who do
not need medicine so much as they
need conditioning.
The original training corps in
Washington numbered more than
$500 var working women. 1t was
organized on the White House lot
and the War Department detailed
seventy-tive army officers to assist
Miss Cocroft in the drills.
/ The work will be, extended to every
part of the country, modelled after
the system which has developed men
in the war training camps. except
that it Will be made specially suited
for the training OF women.

On the present exchange situation.
the review says:
The restricted ability OF buyers In
chases has taken tho question of for
eien exchange definitely out OF the
purely financial field and made it of
immediate Importance even to those
exporters who are accustomed to
concern themselves only with ques-
tons Of markets and prices The part
which the extension OF long credits
may play in assisting the movement of
goods abroad has recently been
brought forward and discussed in
some detail. and it has been pointed
out that the extension Of credit direct
10 reliable foreign buyers for periods
longer than the customary thirty to
ninety DAYS may have advantages
beyond those usually considered AT
the present time in italy, France, and
other countries where exchange is AT
an abnormal figure. cash payments
impose tremendous burden upon the
buyer. The extension Of ordinary
credit, even up to ninety days, reduces
that burden to some extent, hut credit
up TO six months or year might
prove additionally attractive because
II would give the buyer the oppor-
tunity TO take advantage Of any read
justment in exchange, or any approach
TO normality which might develop
during the period While it is i'm

After d fifty years struggle Fin
land has succeeded in breaking the
stranglehoid of the liquor interests
and a national prohibition law be-
comes operative June / In that coun-
try--that is, unless the liquor interests
succeed in setting 1t aside.
There as here and everywhere
these interests have not given up the
struggle to continue their work OF
dehauching the people even though a
national prohibition law has been de-
creed.
According to DR.. Matti Helenius-
Seppala, OF Helsinefors. perhaps the
most notable temperance leader of
Finland. the greatest danger threaten
ing the law lies In the effort of the
liquor interests 10 enlist the French
government as their ally. Once be-
fore France showed her opposition
to Finnish prohibition when Fin
nish loan in France was refused II the
Finnish senate could not guarantee
the non -sanctioning of the prohibition
bill which was passed In 1907. Fin
land arranged for the loan In Eng
land
Now again tho French consul IN
Helsingfors has sent IN "A protest
against the Finnish prohibition law.
1t was at first stated that the protest
was not intended as protest of the
internal affairs of Finland. but now
the alcohol press declares that a fresh
statement from the French govern
ment concerning the prohibition law
is expected and that this statement is
to contain a nat demand for the nul:-
flying of the law
Just before this prohibition law was
sanctioned the French consul in Hell
singfors entered a protest against 1t.
At that time it WAS pointed out TO
France that her alcoholic drink eX-
ports to Finland in 1918 did not ex-
coed the money value of three and a
half million francs. These exports are
not valued much if any higher than
this at the present time. Therefore
prohibition in Finland would not i'm
pose any great financial loss on
France.
DIR. Senpala refuses to believe that
the French government will give heed
to the liquor interests appeals. On
this point he says:
I'VE think the Finnish liquor men
who try TO inspire the French govern
ment to do something in that line ara
appealing IN vain to France. who
knows what independence and liberty
of a nation does mean. There are
also other points Of view In the world
to make allowance for than the alco-
hol interest
The situation presents "A strong ap-
peal for the justice of the request Of
the international conference for the
study OF alcoholism held in Paris

EAST ENDS WIN THRILLING
 INTERVIEWING GAME

After battling 12 exciting and hair raising innings, the East Ends defeat ed the Wlllimantic RoWrs by the score of to 1. For the first nine innings neither side was able to score In the first of the 10th Willimantic scored one run and it looked as if they had the game safely. tucked away. but in the last of the 10th with one out Clabby. who went in as a pinch hitter, dropped a pretty single over second. He stole second and third and on a sacrifice hit by Randall scored the run which made the score 1 to 1. In the 11th neither side was able to score, but in the last of the 12th Ca1kins, first man up, drove a double into deep center. stole third and scored the winning run on a wild throw over third. Both Charlie Keene of the East Ends and Somers of the Rovers pitcher superb ball. but Keene outclassed Somers only allowing two hits in 12 innings. while the East Ends got five hits off Somers. Sunny Dyer
 the East End whirlwind shortstop
 covered himself with glory. making hair-ratsing catches. Both teams fie11ed in big league style. each nnak- ing only one error. Putting everything together, every one of the 500 or 500 fans who attended the game declared that 1t was the fastest game they had witnessed for many years. The East Ends have been travelling along in big league style lately. defeating some of the fast teams in Conpectict. If every thing goes right the East Ends will play their final game of the season with Crowley's Colts next Sunday for the championship of the city and a
