7 ONDON, England. Dec. 1I.-That
L. America Is not as dry as Il Is
thought TO be over here and that
u is not seriously fanatic" over the
irish question are two Of the dis
coveries made by a correspondent OF
York.
The correspondent had been in
America-meaning New Tork-fust
ten days when he made these dis
coveries.
There is not a particle OF truth IN
the suggestion that American ssnti-
ment has been completely alienated
since the conclusion OF the war
states Frank Diinot- in an article
published IN one OF the leading after
noon papers.
He gives as his first example the
old story OF the steward OF the Emok-
Ing room on the liner on which he
sailed 10 America coming into the
room and saying
Empty your glasses. gentlemen
No more drinks 20 be served; we are
within sight Of the Statue OF Lib
erty"
This, It seems. was intended for
irony. but the correspondent says Il
was misplaced. for he declares:
Dinner With sauterne.
Thirty hours later I was enjoying
dinner with an American friend and
terne at a restaurant whose attrac-
tons are known TO all fashionable
New Workers.
He learned afterward Ito his hor-
ror" that he was breaking the law.
1T IS enough" he says. Ito say for
the moment that the stewards re-
marks on the liner lead 10 pes
simism which IS very far from being
justified by facts America always
was a very temperate country in the
use OF alcohol and shall not be go
ing beyond the facts in saying that
il IS not less temperate than It used
to be.
On the Irish question. he says.

main comments are
so far as j can ascertain the Re
publican victory is rather favorable
TO Britain than against her, since the
stalWart and responsible Americans
who form the leaders OF that party
are those most allied In temperament
and feelings with Britain.
IN passing, IL may be said that
there is a genuine and widespread
feeling that the very first act Of the
Republican government VIII be 20

anti-war association
There IS a vast prejudice against
what Is called Mr.. Wilson's league
OF nations but at the same time
there Is a tremendous tendency to-
ward the spirit and ideals which are
behind It.
