LADY ASTOR FAST BECOMING
MILITANT LEADER OF DRYS
Virginia Woman Member of Parliament Issues Pamph.
let Dealing Ungloved Blow at Tactics of British
Liquor Interests Seeking Public Sentiment.

LONDON. Aug. 30.-That Lady
Astor is approaching n point where
she may be hailed us the militant"
leader of the temperance forces in
England Is evidenced by her ac-
tivities in the cause of liquor reform
since she sponsored the liquor con-
troll bill which provides an easy road
TO the abolition of the liquor traffic
If adopted.
Her latest effort in behalf of pro-
hibition is a pamphlet which, accord
ing to it's title. Is designed only to
defend temperance reformers from
the charge of being cranks. but In
reality is filled with accusations and
statistics condemning the liquor trade
and contains a call to the younger
generation to provide a fresh impc-
tus which will make Sound public
opinion and progressive legislation
possible
In the first section OF her appeal
for this new interest Lady Astor
makes an ungloved attack on the or
ganization and tactics of the liquor
trade. The liquor traffic In England
is probably more highly and thor.
oughly organized for political pur-
poses than the steel. oil or meat
trusts In America" she says, and
any careful observer OF public bodies
will have noted that spokesmen and
defenders OF the drink trafic. almost
invariably are identified with those
Richmond times-dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1914-current, 1922-08-31

who oppose attempts to deal with i'm
morality In the slums and other So
cial evils. There is no doubt Of the
fact that In order TO safeguard It's
position and profits the liquor trade
does use It's funds and organization
in n way prejudicial to healthy pub
lie life"
The statistics and authorities
which Lady Astor quotes, although
generally English in origin. bear a
startling resemblance to those used
in the United States and lead her to
believe drink. in fact, cannot be
overlooked in the study of national
reconstruction" She believes n Is
the task of the younger generation
to take up the fight. especially teach
crs.
Teachers" she says, "can and do
WELD a great influence on public
opinion in the matter of temperance
and they could almost change the at
1itudc of the next generation IL they
were concentrated on doing IT."
Finally. she explains her view
point Of temperance reformers by
saying: Temperance rcformers are
not actuGtcd so much by Il desire TO
make other people good as by de-
termination not to be responsible for
making other people bad by subject
ing them TO subtle temptations which
many havo no chance OF resisting.

Breach.
STATEMENT IS RESENTED
Minister Asserts Lack of Con-
fidence in Board, 1t Is
Alleged.

According TO information which be-
came public yesterday. the board of
deacons of Calvary Baptist Church,
at meeting Tuesday night. called
n special congregational meeting for
next Tuesday night. at which time
the pastor. Rev. Carter Ashton Jen-
kens. Jr.. Will be called TO answer
charges growing out of statements
he is alleged to have made in n
sermon Sunday night, when he is
said to have stated that he had no

action Tuesday night
Friction in the church, which has
been growing with more or less
momentum, since last winter. when
in series of sermons during a re-
vival service, Mr.. Jenkens Is said to
have fiayed dancing and to have said
that mo lady would dance" II is
understood that he apologized to the
deacons for that phrase. and ac-
knowledgcd that II was intemperate
Mr. Jenkens could not be located
yesterday or last night. Repeated
telephone calls at his residence failed
OF response, and members of the
hoard of deacons said they were not
at liberty to talk until the matter
was placed before the congregation
at the meeting next Tuesday night.
The breach in the church Is said
TO have broadened when Mr.. Jenkens
became a party to a plan for the
construction of an apartment house.
When deacons demonstrated and
urged him to devote his time TO
church work. II is understood that
he said he needed money to pay his
debts and. as soon as he realized on
his investment. he would give all OF
his time to the church.
Mr. Jenkens has been pastor OF
Calvary Baptist Church for ten years
and has always taken an active In
terest in civic movements. and in his
sermons he denounced evil and evil do
