kinds of wine that were popular in Rome, but he also goes with great de tail into the processes of their manu- facture.
 50 enamored were the Romans of alcoholic drinks that they wero not content with wine. They had nothing that resembles our rum, whisky, gin and brandy, but they had an amazing variety of intoxicating drinks. Pliny indeed describes so many ways to make liquors that cause intoxication that his writings might be put under the ban during a period of prchibi- ton.
 He says that one popular drink was made from the cereal nillet. Dates and figs were also often utilized as ma terials from which heddy liquors were made. Pears, apples, pomegranates, mulberries and piue-nuts are other curious substitutes fer grapes.

As the latter, however, particularly under the leadership of M. Poincare, either by patriotic conviction or by personal ambition, or because they were of opinion that they would only be able to maintain in this way their power in the struggle of the parties, progressively pursued a policy more against Germany, the people had to follow suit because in no country in the world is the strength of ambitious minorities greater than in France. Before the war the French then- selves had described this situation in a masterly way.
 An Opening of 1914.
 After having remarked that French Socialism had not been able to com bat efficaciously this agitation, Beth mann Hol1weg proceeds: Did the year 1914 pronounce an amelioration. The elections for the Chamber on April 26 resulted in a firm majority in fa- vor of the three years military ser vice, but the re-elections in May were a great success, for Socialists like Jaures wrote in LHumanite against the unbridled evil of nationalism and reaction. On June 16 the French So- cialist Congress adopted a resolution to be introduced at the international Socialist Congress of Vienna, in which with an appeal to the dec1ara ton of the Social-Democrats of Alsace-Lor- raine should be granted autonomy, as by this the rapprochement between France and Germany, so necessary for the worlds peace, would be con- siderably facilitated. The course of the worlds events has taken another direction the hO6yy of .11nrhS But Nj. Poincare's purpose was neither rapprochement nor autonomy. He wanted to recapture Alsace-Lorraine with the help of Sukomlinoff and his friends. (From the International News Bureau, Inc, Boston, Mass)

FEARS J, 5. WILL LEAD
 WORLD TRADE.
Thomas Derby, Gives Warn
 ing America is Ready to Assume Supremacy.
WANTS GOVERNMENT
 TO TAKE ACTION
Says Workers Must Be Sat-
 isfied and All Industry Spurred to Its Utmost.

London, July 29. James Henry Thomas, member of Parliament for Derby, in an interview following an address before his constituents last night, expressed profound anxiety concerning the unstable domestic sit Cation in England.
 Mir. Thomas, who recently visited America, said that the strong position of the United States could not be doubted and that he had seen enough while there to satisfy him that it was essential to restore confidence in this country by increasing production and keeping every industry full enl- ployed.
 MT. Thomas's speech was his first utterance since he returned from America. He declared that the peo- pie did not realize that the country was living on borrowed capital. He said that England's financial condi- tion, coupled with the manner in which labor disputes are magnified abroad, had created an impression in America that England was going headlong into bankruptcy and ruin.
 It was essential for the govern ment to declare it's policy, he as- serted, and thus remove the suspicion of the workers that they were un- | fairly treated, the reliance of the workers in strikes as a weapon alone being altogether undemocratic.
 The Sunday papers give promi- hence to amplifica tfons of MT. Thomas's Derby speech expressed by him in an interview.
 Everything I have seen in Amer ica, L ken in conjunction with events now occurring in this country, con- yinces me that we shall lose our commercial supremacy unless we drastically change our politial methods MT. Thomas Is quoted al saying. The open indictment to vlo- lence appears to have become com mon in the last few weeks. No na- tion which is constantly having a pistol pointed at its head by its owr, comes from Belfast or BarnsIey. Throughout America I saw con- clusively that the fullest prepara- tions were being made to capture our commercial supremacy. What the people of this country won't realize is that America is in a position to hold us up for ransom. The United States does not need to import much raw materials and her economic posi- tion therefore is unrivalled today. On the other hand, she contains all or the raw materials we require for our commercial reconstruction, and unless we are prepared to manufacture on something like our old basis we shall have to pay prices which in the long run can only result in disaster"

 Amsterdam, July 22.- From the first day | could very plainly observe reason for the changed tone adopt ed by the French press from my con versatfons with M. Cambon after M. Poincare had assumed power. Up to that moment the Ambassador had re- pcatedly developed in various ways the thesis that personal relations be- tween the leading statesmen, whereby he would have liked to be mediator, might have contributed to bring both countries to a bass of mutual under- standing as desired by themselves, Without any doubt he had taken part in the protracted negot tiations about Morocco with infinite patience and with the good will to reach a peaceful solution. However, from that very mo- ment the Minister was visibly altered. He no more touched on the thesis of the personal relations and if he visited me after one of his journeys to Paris, though he was quite as cour- teous as before, he was very reticent as soon as we spoke about the public spirit in France, in spite of the eX- quisite French polish which character ized his words.
 Military Attaches Report.
 He avoided every indication that the
 
 by a tendency towards conci1iation such as he had always praised in for me1 Cabinets. One could not be in doubt as to the development of the French spirit in the last years before the war. This is no eXa aggera ton, as one talked at that time of a visible renaissance; of the French nation af- ter the bankruptcy of 1870. Our Mill itary Attache in Paris, Herr von Win terfe1dt, repeatedly mentioned in his reports the visibly increasing excel lence of the Army, reflecting the growing firmness of the whole peo- ple Perhaps we did not take into ac- count sufficiently the real mind of our western neighbors in overlooking ser- ious manifestations on the bouleVards, and failed to judge the alteration which took race in it's proper per spective. The strengthening of the general national spirit in a race with a martial tradition such as that pos sessed by the French, together with the increase of the Chauvinist pas sion, was phenomenon which char acterizes all historical development of this nature. The debacle oG 1870 could not be forgotten, perhaps sub- consciously, yet the revanche for the military defeat was popular feeling, and the more so as the Government had the youth of France systematica1- ly educated in ChauvaniSm in the schools.
 The Lost Provinces.
 That the loss of Alsace-Lorrafne had left no peace in the minds of the French people is undoubtedly incor- rect. Certainly the idea of the recap ture of the lost provinces have per sisted in the departments situated in the immediate neighborhood. but in the rest of France in the long run the people would surely not have de- clined a real rapprochement on this question if the men in power in vance had seriously striven for it.

made a wine from the sprigs of myrtle, but that in Rome the berries of the wild myrtle were preferred.
 The Roman farmer was never at a loss for intoxicating liquors. He made wine from rad:shes, asparagus, wild mint, rue, wild thyme, horehound and almost innumerOble other things that grew in his garden. Even turnips and roses were utilized to mix with the un- fermentcd grape juice and then to form q wine. He goes on to give so many recipes for making intoxicants out of almost everything that grew that the Romans could make an alco- hOlic drink out of any growing thing that was not poisonous.
 Another popular drink described by Pliny is hydromel. This was made from honey and water, but this could hardly be commended to those who wanted drink in a hurry, as he says that the best variety should be made Last Feast of Cleopatra.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-07-29

Wine is often mentioned in the poems of Horace, but he did not give himself up to the dissipation that had already set in during the age in which he wrote. At Tibur, where he was oft en entertained by his patron, Mae cenas, and at his Sabine farm, Horace drank sparingly. We learn from his verses that Chian wine was highly esteemed among the Roman epicures. This came from the island of Chios, off the coast of Asia Minor. He says that some of the hard drinkers of his time indulged in snails imported from Africa, which were regarded as help fUl to rouse a satiated thirst.
 FJoVace is not, however, so goo. an authority upon the hold that alcohol had on the Romans as Pliny. This re- nowned writer, who perished in the eruption that overwhelmed Pompeii, not only tells us all about the various

from rain-water which had been al- lowed to stand for five years. Those who were more impatient, however, found it fairly satisfactory to take fresh rain-water and boil it down one third, after which they added one-third the quantity of old honey. This mix ture was exposed to hot sun for 49 days. A stranger drink was made of honey, old vinegar, sea-water and rain-water, which does not sound very palatable.
 Even queerer was the drink called dodra, which perhaps served the Ro- mans in the place of the cocktail. No less than nine different ingredients were mingled in this-water. wine, broth, oil, salt, bread, herbs, honey and pepper. The Romans also made beer, but it does not seem to have been very popular and apparently was not in dulged in so often as the mixture of water and honey.
