COPENHAGEN. August 21.-For-

Minnesota. author Of the Volstead
law. refuses to be made hero by
seventeenth International Congress
Against Alcoholism here.
AS a preliminary to public ses-
sion on Sunday he had to be fairly
dragged to the platform by the Rev.
Edward Dinwiddie. Great applause
greeted the modest Minnesotan. who
made a brief Acknowledgement and
withdrew. Copenhagen newspapers
expressed astonishment at his efforts
to ,shun publicity. Apparently they
thought so famous man must be
more imposing

This congress is not world pro-

but rather an international study
club. 1t does not seek to propagate

alcoholism. but Is patiently searching
for the best methods. comparing notes

hitherto tried in Europe.
Americans. however. come convinced
that their method is the right one
They. are prepared to support their
conviction with abundant evidence
and statistics. Voistead today read
an address on the general results of
prohibition In America. 1t was a
compact summary. giving vast
amount of statistical data, especially
stressing the decrease In crime and
the increase, in prosperity in the
United States since prohibition.

him. told OF his four months study

that the present consumption was

Labor leaders say it will last three
months. French officers say a few
weeks. Nationalist agitators say in
definitely. To choose between such
assertions is the job of a prophet
not a reporter. but the writer can
state from careful observation on the

the industrialists rather than from
the workingmen. There are only three
logical outcomes to the present sftu-
