of prohibition at the hands Of q
London mob.
European delegates declare the
problem OF temperance legislation
abroad will be largely solved when
they discover means of continuing
the use of grapes in the manutac-
ture of kickless beverages. This,
they say, will calm growers.
Among the countries that have
sent delegates are England, France,
Italy, Poland, China, Japan, Hol-

congress will represent 5000, 900
prohibition workers, according -
