PROHIBITION NOT POP
ULAR IN GERMANY
RESENT THE IDEA
Can't Understand Why United
States Has Quit Booez
Drinking
CARL D. GROAT.

Berlin.-[By Mail. Although Ger
many will have none of the Ameri-
can prohibition her statistical bureaus
show that reduced war time alcoholic
consumption has had beneficial re-
suit on the nation.
The German holds up his hands in
horror at the idea that America has
gone "dry." He simply doesn't COM
prehend. Nothing to drink? No, not
a thing. What are they thinking of
in America? he asks.
On the other hand his own Stats
tics have proved to the German that
alcohol is demon, destroying as it
goes.
Insanity Due to Alcohol.
While statistics are not available
for the entire war period, and there
are no figures for recent days, it de-
velops that in Prussia there were in
1914 insanity cases numbering 6,146
due to alcohol while the figures kept
dropping to 1917 when the last accur-
ate statistics were available.
In 1915 alcoholic insanity cases
numbered 1906; in 1916, 2,469 cases,
and in 1917, 1854 cases while deaths
from alcoholism amounted as fol-
lows. 1914-947; 1915-650; 1876
271; 1917-14S.
Suicide On Increase.
Suicide has been reported on the in
crease in Germany, but figures are
lacking to prove this theory. During
the war, the government kept no stat
istics to show where self destruction
stood Since the revolution, however,
it is reported that many middleclass
people have been suicides. This is
said to be due to dependency over
Germany's future; to the fact that
some of these middle class people
have seen their small savings of years
eaten up in the all consuming drop
of the German "Valuta;" and to a
general Indifference toward life, en-
gendered by four year of war.
Record In 1918.
Suicides in German during 1918
numbered about $4,000 while they
dropped in 1914 by about 1000. At
the same time there appeared a small
er number of cases of insanity in the
German asylums For 1913 there
were 152,351 cases of insanity in Prus-
STA while in 1914 there were 149 500
cases; and this number dropped in
1915 to 1882
Reverting to the effect of alcoholism
on the German vital statistics it may
be pointed out that, during the war,
the German nation was shut off from
some of the stronger alcoholic hey-
formerly been accustomed, while its
berthe national beverage-went
down from above four per cent alco-
hol to about one per cent or less.
German Resents Prohibition.
The German resents the idea of
prohibition as an infringement on
personal liberty" and says it will
never come here. But, it is noted that
only a few days ago a prohibition
gathering assembled in Berlin, and
favored the introduction of this sys-
tenn here.

"And this can be done with the
