pRoHlBITloN in SCOTLAND.

To think that Scotland, of all countries, may go
dry! Scotland, where ministers Of the gospel used
to get part Of their salary in whisky. Scotland,
whose greatest poet was most eloquent IN praise
of alcohol. Scotland whose very name, to the rest
of the world is almost synonymous with 2 certain
type of khsky, as Jamaica is with rum. Scotland,
whose people, as Glasgowers have long been wont
to say, 'have got to drink whisky, or the climate
would kill them and who have proved their virilty
by surviving alike the climate and the whisky.
"A dry fate seems to be enveloping Scotland slowly
and surely. Long before the great war came along
and gave its impetus to temperance, Scottish re-
formers were effectively at work. In 1913 law
was enacted giving Scotland local option. TO soften
the blow to John Barleycorn, it's operation was set
seven years ahead On June Of this year it came
into effect. Accordingly, local option elections are
going to be held November 2 in the 1900 voting
districts established throughout Scotland s5$$ :;
There is choice of three policies: : The present
system Of regulated license IS per cent reduction
Of the traffic, or complete abolition Of licenses.
The latter policy would bar the sale of liquor in
the usual way but would still permit its sale by
hotels to Travellers and its wholesale distribution for
use in the home. t><r.-.
{ 1t will be that the prospects, at their worst
or their BEST as you happen to look at the matter
are less menacing to what Burns called "guid auld
Scotch drink than is the American type of prohibi
ton But Scotch liberals genuinely worried,
just the same, and the reformers are full Of zeal
and confidence. 1t is recognized that large part
Of Scotland is sure to adopt the most extreme Of
these three choices. And after that-well, it is
the experience of old John Barleycorn in recent
years that he need not expect to regain foothold
once lost, and when he is once on the run he is
pretty sure to be kept running. Il 81. H. "'44t&

The lessons of the school year that

in vain if the graduates, about to
enter upon their chosen careers, have
failed o+llearn that thrift and saving
\ IN their proper sense are quite as
important as anything in the curri-

unfortunately, pupils of younger
years are leaving the graded schools
atst this time and seeking employment.
This period represents a. crisis in their
lives which leads them, either to loose
habits or to the habit Of thrift and
ultimate prosperity. The memorable

Annual Income of Only $35 200, 900.

Sofia, May 2S.-Like most other Eu-
ropean countries, Bulgaria's financial
problem is a serious one. Facing an
indemnity to the allies of $450,000,000
and a national debt of several billions,
she has a gold reserve of only 1894
600 and a silver reserve of $3,545.6O0.
Her war debt amounts to $2,0G0,000,-
00o. Her revenue last year wa
S35, 900.
Alexander Stambolisky, the prime
minister, has expressed the hope that
the United States government extend a
loan to Bulgaria to tide her over her
present financial crisis. An advance
of s10,000,O00, he said, would improve
the value of Bulgarian money, affected
by the low rate of exchange, and facih-
tate the purchase by the government
of goods in the United States.
In addition to her surplus of wheat
and maize and a large number of cat

set is her tobacco, of which she has

JEWS GOING
 TO PALESTINE

Vienna, Nov. 20-Emigration of Jews to Palestine is increasing rapid ly in Central and Eastern Europe, and the new Palestine immigration regulations would allow of con- trolled immigration of about 17,000 Zionists of the pioneer class during the coming year, said s. Landmann, secretary of the Zionist organization, in an interview.
 MT. Landmann, who is now in nection with Jewish emigrants to Palestine, said the selection of the emigrants is being made by the Zion ist Organization which has estab- Iished Palestine offices in the impor- tant Jewish centers. Preference is given to young people, strong in body and determined in spirit, who have had actual experience in agriculture or other manual work and who know Hebrew.
 Several thousands of such pioneers known by the Hebrew name of Chalitzim-have already left and others are waiting in the large cen ters until proper arrangements for their transport can be made and until new openings for employment in Pal estine are reported.
 One of the features of the pioneer !, movement is that it includes a fair proportion of girls of well-to-do fam flies who have decided to devote their Lives to the new Palestine. They act : @pa' isrnd girls and take care of the do meStic arrangements in the Jewish :. colonies.

WET INTERESTS
 WIN DECISION
By LOUIS F. KIRBY, Gnternationa1 News Service Staff
 

-:- 1OT1eSpO1fOenI.)
 Mexico City, Nov. 2O.-Prohibftion- lstS, who thought that they had won a great triumph under the new Mexi- can government, received another heavy blow when Ceiestino Gasca, governor of the Federal district, ruled that the "dry" regulations were invalid. This means that cantinas, saloons and restaurants in which
 liquors are sold will no longer be compelled to close or discontinue the sale of alcoholic beverages from Sat urday noon until the following Mon day morning.
 The prohibitionists are still fighting hard to regain lost ground but the vets" are exultant, believing that | they have won decisive victory The courts have not yet passed finally upon they alidMy of the dry regula ations, but thel iquor men be- Heve that the action of Governor Gasca. means certain victory in the courts.
 It is said that the new government which favors restrictions upon the sale of alcoholic beverages, if not prohibition, could not withstand the tempest raised by the dry regula- tions.
 There are 500 cantinas Or saloons in Mexico City. The proprietors of these places have fought hard against thee losing order, declaring that it meant ruin, for them. They have re- ceived the support of liquor dealers throughout Mexico, who have been alarmed by the threatened approach of prohibition.
 Powerful liquor interests have also taken a hand in the fight. Back of these interests are many millions of capital and great political influence. It is asserted that it was the influence Of the liquor interests which won the decree establishing the three free ports in Mexico, where the distiH- Ing and exporting of liquors of all snrts may be carried on without the payment of any sort of duties or taxes excepting upon that part of the product of distilleries which Is sold in Mexico.
 Another strong element opposing | the dry" regulations was made up | of hotel keepers and the proprietors
 of Mexico Cfiy's fashionable restau- | rants The restaurants have had the l support of their patrons, who object 1 to giving up their custom of holding | their feasts and drinking parties on | Saturday evenings and Sundays, | s P~o"th'" his s admit that the out | look for them does not look as bright | $ did d short time ago. but they sassert that their setbacks rs only | temporary and that they will yet make Mexico as dry as Sahara

troops of the Mexican capital. The bodies of the soldiers had been buried near where they fell, but were moved to the cemetery when it was opened. The monument is an unpretentious stone shaft, somewhat resem bling an obelisk in form and surmounted by urn.
 Keepers, usually old soldiers, have watched over the graves for 60 years.
 An American who lost his son in one of the greatest battles in France during the World War, on visiting the cemetery, said: There could be no better guardian of our soldier dead than the American government"
 Was CorteZs Estate.
 The land embraced by the old cem- etery was once part of the country es- la te of Cortez, the Spanish conqueror CorteZ became master of Mexico. He was pleased with the palace of an Aztec nobleman on the banks of the Rio Consulado and moved in with very little ceremony. He occupied the house until he moved to another pal ace on the great estate granted to him by the Spanish King.
 It is told that when the American flag was raised over the cemetery the Mexicans treated the ground with pro found respect, as sacred to the great brother nation. Many rogues fled there when hard pressed by the police ana because the pOllCeIlen ueSlLdleu to invade, the park, managed to get time to dodge away.
 E About fifteen years ago an Ameri- can swindler accused of fraud ran into the cemetery to escape arrest The police pursued him to the gate and stopped there. But they placed I sentries around the fence so that he could not get out.
 Capture Swindler There. r. Then there was debate as to what | should be done to reach the criminal | and put him in jail. It was suggested | that he be extradited. but this idea was not received with favor because l extradition would take too long a time. Finally the American Ambassador was appealed to. He issued instruc- | tions that the swindler should receive l no food from the keeper of the ceme- ! tery and that the man should be for i bidden to enter the keepers house. | Starvation and fear of the dlscom- | forts of sleeping amoong the graves soon caused the swindler to surrender. l A satirica1 American, after listen i ing to the story of the swind1er re- l marked: ''An American rogue had a
 more dignified position in Mexico in | those days than an honest man does | now.''
