EVANSTON, IL, April 25.-Pub-
ucation OF figures showing that the
number Of patients in the Keeley
Institute at Dwight Ill, had been
increasing in the last few years,
caused the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union to make a survey
from the national headquarters
here of such institutions over the
country.
The organization found that of
l48 institutions for treatment of
inebriates operating before prohi-
bition went into effect, eighty-nine
reported definitely that they went
out of business with prohibition and
fourteen could not be found by
postal authorities.

Commenting on the survey, j. H.
Oughton, president of the Keeley
Institute, told the United Press
that there was a marked decline in
the number of patients beginning
in 1917 because of the war, but in
1920 the number started increasing
and has continued to do so.

BRITISH PLANES
BOMBING india
Peshawar Near Fall to
Border Tribes
RITIIETIN


London reports from India state
that the textile city of Sholapur
has fallen completely--that is to
say, the British troops have not
been able to recapture Sholapur-
into the hands of the Indians. Most
of its inhabitants are mill workers
and by no means are followers of
Gandhi, but rather are followers
of Lenin.
From London reports as to condi-
tons in India, the fact is shown that
not only is all India ablaze, but that
the British held key city of Pesh-
awar near midas northern gate.
Kvhber Pass, is in danger of cap
ture by hostile Afghan warriors.
Wedgwood Benn, the Labor"
Secretary of State for India admit
ted that the British have carried
out an airplane attack on the AT
CHAN forces headed by the Hail of
Turangsai, whose forces had adj
vanced to within twenty miles of
Peshawar, Peshawar and the Kyh-
Der Pass have always been the most
priced outposts of the British in
Northern India, as north of Kyhber
lies Afghanistan and north of AT
ghanistan lies the Soviet Union.
The Hail had sent his forces to-
ward Peshawar at the invitation of
the Indians in Peshawar, but that
mattered little to the British who
refuse to allow the Indians to rule
India, it being one of British i'm
perialism's richest colonies.
Wedgwood Benn, to whom the
Indians had looked as the "friend at
court" because of his pro-inde-
pendence talk, now carries out the
ruthless policy of blood and fire
against the Indian people as ordered
by the Labor" Party.
Benin, though he is holding in
prison at Meerut 80 workers on
charge of being Communist, says
that there was no evidence that Com
munist agents had been responsible
for recent disturbances" through
the masses have been carrying ban
ners inscribed with the hammer and
sickle.
That the textile town of Sholapur
is still in hands of the Hindus is
shown by the cautious admission
that the situation for the British
there had somewhat deteriorated'
since the British were driven out.
But Labor" Party Benn had the
remedy. More troops are being sent

Tavern at Fulton Theatre

"The Tavern" George NJ. Cohan's
clever satire on the mystery plays
which have been flooding Broadway
the past seasons, will be revived for

son, although PANIED by almost
every critic in town, who failed to
get the satirical idea of the play.
The production, which is now hav-
ing a successful run in Boston, will
have the author in the role played
by Arnold DAILY. Other players in
clude Joseph Allen, Robert Middle
mass, Mary Philips, Edwin F. Nam
nary and Harold Healy.
During the engagement of "The
Tavern" another revival may take
place. Another Cohan play, "The
Song and Dance Man." is in prep
aration and may be seen at the
Fulton on June 2, with the author
in the leading role.
1.-THE Vikings" by Ibsen, opened
at the New Yorker Theatre last

ing in Berlin, has just been secured
