DRY LAW STUDY.
LURES EUROPE
MISS HILDA HILL

NEW YORK. April 4 (T.NSJ.-
Every angle Of the prohibition
controversy now blazing in the
United States, from straw votes
conducted by the magazines and
colleges to the congressional
hearings in Washington, Is being
watched with unprecedented in
tereSt by the nations Of Europe.
Editorial opinion as expressed
by the leading newspapers Of En-
gland and the Continent crystal.
lie into the belief that prohibit
ton Is facing its final showdown.
The very near future, Europe
believes, will prove once and for
all whether the law is capable
Of being enforced and whether
it will remain as an incontro-
vertible statute.
Hope for Repeal
This widespread interest is mo-
tivated by varying purposes.
F.ance, which before prohibition
enjoyed a tremendous revenue
from sales of its wines and
liquors in the United States, Is
frankly hopeful that the law will
be repealed or modified.
Germany and England are in
tereSted for different reasons.
The former nation is undergoing
a rather dramatic alcoholic up
heaval at the present time. For
the first time in history advo-
Gates of temperance and prohibi-
tion are able to make themselves
heard.
While far from meaning total
prohibition, this bill is significant,
inasmuch as it restricts the num-
ber of saloons, prohibits the sale
of hard liquor to minors and pro
vides an earlier clSoing hour for
cafes and beer houses.
