William L. Harding has been invited
by the state department to appoint
official delegates from Iowa for the

fifteenth international congress
against alcoholism, which will be
held In this country this year for the
first time since it was organized in
1880. The meeting will be under the
auspices of the state department and
sessions win be held at the Pan
American building.
The full program for the six days
of the congress was announced yes
tecday. It includes addresses by
many Of the most famous scientists
in the world, the congress being con-
cerned almost exclusively with the
scientific phase Of the subject.
This congress is the first to be
convened since that held in Milan,
Italy, in 1913, the world war having
prevented an earlier meeting. I'm
der the original plans the fifteenth
congress was to have been held in
1915.
The fifteenth congress will be
noteworthy because of the fact that
it is first to be held in a country
where the traffic in alcoholic liquor
is prohibited by law. A special study
will be made of the effect of prohi-
bition in the United States and the
effect Of the great war in connection
with alcoholism in various countries
will also be given special attention
Several, new discoveries on the rela-
tions of alcoholism to heredity and
to mental and nervous diseases will
be announced for the first time.
