TRY
 FOR DRY ENGLAND
Press and Public Hostile to
 Prohibition Move

London, Aug. 16, Correspondence footing is the term the newspapers and British liquor interests have given the campaign to make England dry, and "pussyfeet' Is the title they have given those members of parlia- ment and American anti-saloon league workers who are pressing the move ment.
 It has been announced that there is abundant money behind the move ment, and the nucleus of a parlia- mentary prohibition party has been formed by nine members of the house of commons to first fight for the retention of wartime liquor reg ulations while forming their lines for more drastic action.
 Harrogate, a health resort with some so mineral springs was selected as the first object of attack, and a number of speakers were sent there to spread the dry" doctrine. It was also decided to pay particular atten- tion to Scotland where, under new regulations, local option is possible. Other plans, it was announced, are in the making, and within a year the campaign will be in full swing.
 Most of the newspapers have done nothing but ridicule the moveme ent, and urge that owing to the climate British men and women needed stim- ulants and would never voluntarily relinOuiSh their alcohol.
 Lady Henry Somerset. late presi- dent of the British Womans Temper ance association, is quoted as ex- pressing the opinion that the prohibit tion campaign will do positive mis- chief hy making prohibition appear to he the sole alternative to a return to the pre-war position.
 The liquor interests say they have not given the question much atten- ton, preferring to believe that the prohibition experiment in the United States will fail and therefore there will be no need for action in England.
