PROHIBITION INCREASED
THE DRUG ADDICT.

New York, Dec. 29-Health Com
missioner Royal S. Copeland, upon
reading reports tonight that there
have been more than 255 personskill-
ed in various cities by drinking wood
alcohol, declared that in the past few
weeks thousands of habitual drink
ers in this city alone have turned to
drugs because of their fear Of wood
alcoholic poisoning.
"In New York city, said the COM
missioner there are between 100, 900
and 100000 drug addicts. dare not
even roughly estimate the number
throughout the country. The advent
OF prohibition has more than doubled
the number Of drug fiends. Prohibi-
ton without governmental control of
the drug trade is ridiculous.
Back of all this hellish misery
caused by the Illicit sale Of heroin,
morphine and cocaine, all of them de-
rivatives of opium, there is what I
call the drug ring The headquarters
of the group Of men comprising this
ring in New York. For months now
the health department has been Sc
cretly tightening the meshes of net
about these men and before long I
/ hope to bring them to justice. Who
these men are I am not prepared to
say just now.
Hundreds OF thousands of pounds
Of crude opium, grown in India, are
shipped to this country via China.
Here the opinum is manufactured in
tn its derivatives. There is absolutely
no medical use for heroin. Then the
morphine, heroin and cocaine is ship
ped out of America and smuggled
back by the way of Mexico and Can
ada. 1t is imperative that there shall
be worked out some system of inter-
national control of crude opium. Hhe
drug evil will persist so long as it is
possible for American manufacturers
to prepare the opium, ship 1t away
and then regain control of the drugs
through smuggling.
Urges Federal Control.
at is incumbent upon the federal
government, upon the heads Of 9TH
er governments, upon the league OF
nations, upon every official body thai
can be considered to push some plan
for the control of the parcotic. evil.
Drugs are so easily concealed; the
drug bootlegger is rarely caught. The
physician and the health departments
can heal some of these, poor victims,
but without strict governmental con-
troll as to prohibit the possibility of
illicit possession of narcotics, the
problem will never be solved. The evil
growing is rotting the wrole social
fabric. 1t is only the poorest classes
that the health departments can
reach, and even when cured the pa
tients are likely to return to the drug
upon the first physical pain, moral
suffering or social disaster"

ment is treating about 900 cax

ARRIVAL OF JESUIT
 MISSIONARIES IN CANADA

Three hundred and nine years ago today the Jesuit priests, Fathers Biard and Masse, landed at Port Royal, Acadie, and joined Father la Fleche, who had reached Acadie the previous year. The mission of these good men was to convert the Micmac Indians In a country which offered hardships great enough to daunt the bravest, the Jesuits triumphed over all difficulties and succeeded in con- verting to Christianity the Sagamore Memberton and his entire tribe. In conjunction with two other priests, Fathers Quentin and Du Thet, they founded the Society of Jesus which was destined to become a prime fac tor in the early history of Acadie.
 Madam de Guercheville, a lady of the French court secured a grant from Louis XIII which covered no less a territory than the whole of North America. She made the Jesuits
 her emissaries and the black robed
 priests planted the banners of their faith far and wide in the new world
 For long time the Jesuits ruled over ] Acadie, which included the present provinces of Nova Scotia and New
 Brunswick and a part of the state oi Maine.

BAPTISTS NOT TO JOIN WITH OTHER
 DENOMINATIONS

Although the Northern Baptist Con vention participated one of the 30 cooperating denominations in the Interchufch World Movement last year, there Is little chance That the coming meeting of the Convention at Buffalo from June 23 to 29 will take any action even tending toward the ultimate organic union of the Baptists with any other of the great Pfotestant denominations.
 The marked tendency toward combination that has appeared in some denominational quarters meets with absolute check in the Bap- lists fundamental idea of the church and in the very nature of Baptist church organization. The Baptist churches themselves are not united with each other and it is 1n-
 conceivable to them that they can form organic union with other de- nominations.
 In fact the Northern Baptist Con- vention went on record in unmistaka-
 ble terms last year at Denver, in re-
 sponse to an invitation to send repre-
 sentatives to a proposed council for
 the union of the evangelical
 churches. The invitation was de-
 clined by a formal, resolution which
 set forth that the Northern Baptist
 Convention, while maintaining fra
 terna1 relations with evangelical de-
 nominations in extending the inf1u- ence of the gospel of Jesus Christ
 does not believe that organic union
 with other deneminations is pessi- ble.
 Even in its cooperation with the 1nterchurch World Movement, the Northern Baptist Convention laid down the conditions of it's participa- tion in no uncertain terms. "Recog- nizing the right of each local church to. determine it's own duty without dictatfon or control by any outside human authority" it expressed "Its readiness to cooperate with the In | terchurch World Movement on the l following conditions,' and not the l least of these conditions was:
 That the Interchurch World | Movement do not promote organic 1 unity of denominations or of local l churches, or the establishment oI ,v- cal church federations, or non-de- l nominationa1 churches
 If an organic union of the evan l gelica1 denominations should be formed, it is, in view of these ex- l pressions reasonably certain that the l Baptist churches will be found out side of it.
