drunkenness which had to be severely
reprimanded. But as soon az we
reached the zone Of the armies the
change became radical. My men only

never. during the fifteen months I was

case Of intoxication."
Moreover. the entire country Of
France offers an illuminating example
OF the wide difference existing between
spirits and wine. There is no country
In the world where SO much wine Is
drunk and there Is perhaps no Euro
pean country, excepting Spain and
italy, where there Is SO little drunken
ness. OF 100 Frenchmen 90 drink wine,
but of the 90 at least SO never touch
a drop of alcohol, and these so wine
drinkers reach the end Of their life
without ever having been drunk once.
All this comes to saying that, ac-
cording to French judgment, American
prohibitionists have gone too FAR.
They would have advanced their propa-
ganda much better on this side of the
Atlantic if they had limited prohibi-
tion to spirits and Intoxicating liquors.
The French anti-alcoholic propaganda
lists, who are very active and embody
all the middle class and the intellec-
tual elite, would have Immediately fol-
lowed, but the prohibitionist exaggers-
tions run the risk Of creating reaction.

French Shrug Listlessly Over
u. S. Order to Keep Ocean Dry

Of Belgians and Swiss, wine 10 nstu-
raj product Of this soil, as also beer and
cider. To condemn wine, beer and
cider Is to condemn the vineyard. hops,
apples; that Is TO say. the fruits which
have existed ever since the very begin
ming Of the world.
The same cannot be said Of alcohol
and Of all It's vaneties-brandy, cognac,
whisky and gin. Most Of the time It
Is no longer derived to-day from the
distlllation Of wine, and consequently
has not the grape at its basis, but It
comes from grain or from tho beet
root; that Is to say. from products Of
the soil which are deviated from their
real destination by Industrial methods.
Thus all French people say in common
that wins Is @ natural drink. whereas
alcohol IL an artificial drink.
The French Academy Of Medicine,
which is the highest scientific and hy-
g'enic authority Of France. shares this
opinion. IL has never ceased for half
century in condemning the use Of
alcohol, but 1t encourages the use Of
wine. Professor Daremberg, whose
theories have bean proved, was the

alcoholism. ''which," said he, "lead
