at Yorktown, has been acclaimed by
many as the battle that won the Reyolu-

The four major world dry organiza-

international campaign TO convert the
world to prohibition are International
Temperance Bureau, World Prohbi-
ton Federation, World League Against
Alcoholism and International Order Of
Good Templars.
Claiming a paid up membership OF
100000 persons. especially young men
and young women, the Order of Good
Templars maintains an office in Wash
ington under the direction OF the Rev.
Edwin G.. Dinwiddie. The general
headquarters Of the order is in Glas-

his office. The directing head OF the

Next Years Congress
Occurs at Copenhagen

Once each two years dry leaders OF
all countries and dry organizations OF
all countries have an opportunity 10
coordinate their work, exchange in
formation and make plans for new ef-
forts. This opportunity Is afforded at
meetings OF the international Congress
Against Alcoholism. The congress
meets next at Copenhagen in 1923. In
yitations to the congress now are
being issued in the name Of the Dan
ish Government. which acts as host to
the delegates. The United States Gov
ernment was host to the congress
which met few months ago in Wash
ington. At that meeting many dele
gates openly predicted that they would
convert the entire world to prohibition
by 1850.
To protect the United States from
smuggling world dry leaders are help
ing in the battle to extend local option
in Canada and Mexico. Their theory
is that IL the entire continent Of North
America can be made practically bone
dry prohibition enforcement will be
twice as effective as at present.
Almost every item or local news that
develops in the United States concern
ing prohibition is cabled around the
world either by the drys or vets de-
pending upon whether the item seems
TO prove prohibition a success or fall
urc.
Much importance is attached by the
editors OF the International Record OF
London to the alleged failure OF the
vets in the United States to get out
large numbers OF marchers on July 4
when ti-prohibition demonstrations
were attempted in many cities.
Both vets and drys are keeping
the world minutely informed concern
ing their conflicting interpretations OF
tie so-called crime wave that is
spreading over the United States.
Approximately so per cent. OF tho
total OF $4,000 900 which will be used
this year to finance the world prohi-
bition movement will be raised in the
United states, according to present
estimates.
Wet leaders arc reported 10 be con-
sldcring an appeal to tho State De-
partmcnt TO discourage the American
phase of the campaign on tic ground
| that the United States is tending TO
insure the III will OF citizens of foreign
countries by mixing in their personal
affairs. Drys say chat the United
states Government cannot interfere
and that they are entirely within their
rights in the camaign and educational
work which is being carried on.

also, and that these transcendent
spirits may be trying to guide or

by many substances when they are

of this kind IL will be found that the

botf5 angelic and diabolic. i. e., the

time.
The various stages OF alcoholic in
toxication are well known. Men be-
come kindly and expansive at first
and afterward quarrelsome. Much de-
pends on the idiosyncrasy of the per-
son, but that is the usual order. Now
we know that in all organic sub

deal" aeJlich is expected to be used

To thousands of sincere Christians
who are convinced that alcoholic
beverages are essentially evil, it will
come as a shock to learn that Mahomet
thought as tEey do, while Jesus showed
by His actions and words that they
are wrong.
Mahomet held the same view as
Swedenborg did later, namely, that the
devil,is in the atoms of alcohol. Hence
it was absolutely forbidden to the fol-
lowers of Islam. .sss,s-.-.
1t is a curious fact that different
drugs seem to render the user liable to
psychological suggestions that are
hostile to each other. Thus coffee and
alcohol are antagonistic. Nothing
counteracts the effects of overindul-
gence in alcoholic liquor better tEan a
cup OF strong coffee. And it would
seem that the physical antagonism
has a psychic one to correspond with
IT, Swedenborg consumed enormous
quantities of coffee. The visions and
revelations he had We're largely due To
the physiological effect of the caffein
he thus absorbed, which partly ac-
counts, in my opinion, for his belief
that the atoms of alcohol were in
themselves diabolic.
