ENGLAND MAY GO DRY.
Must Control Liquor Problem or Have
Prohibition, Says Expert.

Correspondence of Associated Press.l
London, Sept. 16.-Britain must
choose between strict government con-
troll of the liquor traffic or absolute
prohibition. in the opinion Of Lord D.
Abernon, chairman of the liquor con-
troll board.
III the question is considered broad
'ly there are only two policies. control
or prohibition" said Lord O'Abernon.
"Reversion to the old pre-war condi-
tions would mean drunkenness. inef-
ficiency Ill health, disease and the
misery which has notoriously resulted
from drunken habits In the past.
II believe that control Is possible.
The experience Of the war shows that
temperance and efficiency can be OBJ
tanned by regulation. I believe the
liquor trade Is susceptible to reform,
Recent declarations by leaders in the
trade, appear to me to warrant the be-
lief that the new school in the brewing
trade Is gaining a hearing. and that
they have realized that the old meth
DDS Of the anti-reform whole-hog in
diligence advocates are no longer suit
able to modern conditions. The same
change Is in evidence among licensed
victuallers. I get many letters from
them urging that there be no return
to the old hours, during which their
work lasted seventeen hours instead OF
six daily and when the conditions for
public house servants were a scandal.
There can be no doubt that the po-
sition Of licensees is enormously bet
ter than before the war; They work
shorter hours, they have not the same
difficulty with drunkenness and they
certainly do not make less money"

with a recurrence of gallstones, which

effort of any kind until the last effects
Of the attack were passed. Both ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. House
had successfully survived the peak Of
the present trouble and probably would
be able to be about after q week.
The colonel was stricken shortly
after he left Brest, and from that time
during the entire journey he was un-
able to leave his stateroom. He did
not rise from his bed today until just
as the Northern Pacific was docking.
Immediately upon the boats arrival
the colonel received newspaper men In
