British Dry Bill Cuts
Down Hours of Sale
Lady Astor's Maiden Speech in
Commons Will BE on the
Prohibition Question

LONDON, Feb. 11.-The drink oues-
tion was briefly discussed in both
houses of Parliament yesterday. Earl
Curzon told the Lords that the bill on
this subject to be introduced would
contain provision for shorter hours of
sale. The experiment of state man.
agement certainly would not be
dropped, he said.
In the House of Commons the sub
lect was alluded to by Sir Donald Mac
lean.
"The fact that America has gone dry
is an economic fact of the gravest i'm
portance to Great Britain" he said.
He declared the British expenditure for
drink absolutely staggered him. The
country spent more than 9164 900 900
(normally $S20,000,00 for drink in
1914, he said. aud this expenditure in
creased steadily until it was e259 ,0OO.-

Rathenau Favors
25-Cent Value ON
The German Mark
Suggests Adoption of u. S.

BERLIN, Feb. 1i.---Dr. Walter Rath-
enau, who organized Germany's in
dustries to carry her through the war
and who kept her armies supplied with
munitions by first extracting nitrogen
from the air, now has solution for
Germany's financial difficulties.
He proposes that Germany adopt the
American currency system by making
the mark equivalent to 25 cents. He
believes that If all accounts were kept
on that basis tho obstacle to trade
arising from the fluctuation Of the
mark in exchange would be obviated.
German merchants, he says. would
be able to make prices on goods for
future delivery which they are at
present unable to do.
Rathenau of course considers this
proposal only palliative; he realizes
that Germany's economic troubles
arise from tho fact that consumption
exceeds production and that no rad
ical cure can come until she produces
more than she consumes.
He regards the situatlon in Germany
as wellnigh hopeless and he emu
merates the possibilities that the Boil
sheviki might overrun Germany, for
eign creditors might place Germany
under receivership, or the old con-
servatives might declare a dictatorship
under the auspices of the Entente. But
in any Of these eventualitics, he said,
the German people would do nothing.
