in the hills to hunt deer. They fail
ed to return to the boat Thursday

ARMY DEFEATS NAVY TO-DAY, 1913
Act Has Failed
to Accomplish Purpose, is
Report, Moderation League


NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The conclu
sion that the Volstead Act has fail
ed utterly to accomplish its purpose
to promote temperance and sobriety'
has been reached by the Moderation
League. Inc, on the basis of a sur
vey in several hundred represents
tive cities
The League, composed of men from
every walk of life, is incorporated
under the laws of New York State
for the announced object of "Re-
storation of Temperance. It's sur
vey collected statistics dealing with
prohibition during the last eleven
years from every city or town I
more than 5000 population.
On the basis of this data, the Lea
que declares, drunkenness generally
has increased to virtually the pre-
prohibition levels and certain classes
/ of intoXication cases, among auto
mobile drivers and minors, especially,
have increased far above anything
ever before known in this country"
Since conditions have become
worse, not better, each year" the
report concludes" and with the
next generation drinking as never
before, there seems to be no hope
that the Volstoad Act in its present
drastic form will accomplish it's
purpose i'll the long run.
Condemns Bone Dry Law.
From the experience, before ma
tional prohibition. of the states
which had restrictive laws, from the
experience of the whole country
during the restrictive period of 1913
1919, and from the experience of the
Canadian provinces, we believe that
q greater degree of temperance can
! be attained bv wise restrictive law
| than by a bone-dry law which does
not command the respect of a large
part of the people"
In replies from $50 places which
kept records of intoXication arrests
from 1914, the report states that ar
rests on this charge in these com
munties during 1914 had totalled
506,734. In the same places, the
total from 1920, the year after the
Volstead Act became effective, had
dropped to 226,070, but in 1924 it had
risen to a total of 496,752.
A corresponding increase was not
ed in the replies from 457 communi
ties where records of arrests for
drunkenness had been kept only
since l5z0, the report continues. In
1920 the total for these places was
25S.974. while in 1924 it was shown
to have risen to 565.026
"a noteworthy feature" the report
, comments, ''is that during the 1918
1919 restrictions (which amounted
to semi-dryness) there was an enor-
nous decrease in drunkenness in
spite of the business boom of those
years; and that thereafter, during
the severe bone-dry years of the
Volstead Act, there was such an as
tonishing increase that drunkenness
just about reached the level Of the
old saloon years by 1924"
Curious Result.
The increase N the number Of
drunken drivers. as shown by the
records of such cities as separate
this class from the general intoxica-
ton arrests, is classed in the repor.
"as perhaps the most curious re-
suit of national bone-dryness."
