LONDON. — Before the war the
people of this country spent $800,
000,000 a year for drink. Now they
spend $1,200,000,000. Nevertheless
there is not half the drunkenness
in these wartimes that there was
in 1913. Heavy taxation to pro
vide war funds acocunts for the
public’s increased drink hill, not fur
ther indulgence. In fact, excessive'
drinking has declined more than 80
per cent, and there has been an
enormous gain in national efficiency.
All this has come about. Lord
D'Abernor., chairman of the Liquoor
Control Board, told the Associated
Press correspondent, as a result of
the war regulations introduced by
the government.
“There is great ground for hope,”
he said, "that the progress made
toward temperance under war con
ditions won’t be lost, that it will
be continued by post-war action
along lines similar to the restric
tions now in force."
Such action must come, if taken,
from Parliament. The life of tho
present regulations will terminate
' one year after peace has been de
clared. According to Lord D’Aber
non, it is certain that the country
never will go back to pre-war con
ditions
The board's regulations limiting
the hours for the sale of liquor, cut
ting down the alcoholic content of
both spirits and beer, and abolishing
treating were taken to rather kindly,
on the whole, in Lord D'Abernon's
opinion.
"There has been very little fric
tion,” he said. “ We have had
some complaints to the effect that
’it costs an enormous amount of
money to get drunk now,' but that
is exactly what should be the case.
The question of the price of alco
holic drinks compared to that of
food is very important. If liquor
is too cheap that fact leads to over
indulgence. The duty on beer is
now seven times what it was ten
years ago, and the duty on spirits
also has been greatly increased.
“It is clear that public opinion
will not tolerate a return to the
bad conditions which undoubtedly
existed before the war. It is recog
nized that the present system af
fords a basis for a permanent settle
ment of the drink situation accept
able to all.”
More than twice as much money
is spent in England for drink as
for breath and the outlay just about
equals the expenditures for meat.
After the war the government's
yearly revenues from duties on
drink are expected to amount to
from $500,000,000 to $750,000,000.
a sum almost equal to the total tax
revenue before the war.
England has been noted for its
heavy stout, bitters and ale, and the
brewers thought that dilution would
greatly injure their business. But
they have done far better than they
thought was possible.
, The quantity of alcohol in beer
has been reduced by nearly two
thirds. Great improvement has been
made in the manufacture of Ugh*;
beers, which are said to be growing
steadily in favor. The strength of
spirits before the war averaged about
22 degrees under proof. They have
been weakened, under the regulation
to an average of between 38 and
40 under proof.
In discussing the sharp decrease
in heavy drinking. Lord D’bernon
said it might be thought that the
absence from the country of millions
of soldiers was responsible in large
measure for the improvement. This
idea, he pointed out, was refuted by
statistics which showed the decrease
in drinking by women was just as
great as that by men.
No grain is now being used in
Engfand for making s | rits. The
manufacture of whisky was stopped
two years ago. Concerning beer,
Lord D’Abernoon said: “The net
"total of cereals used annually for
brewing is approximately 382,000
tons. Compared with the total
amount of cereals grown here and
imported 15,500.000 tons, this shows
that the net percentage used for

HONOLULU.—Mother Superior
Marianne of the Catholic Order of
St. Francis, friend of Robert Louis j
Stevenson and for thirty years in;
charge of the Catholic Sisters' hos-;
pital work among the inmates of
the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, I
island of Molokai, died there re-'

graveyard of the little Catholic:
church at Kalawao, where lies the
body of Father Damien, the martvr

priest. Sister Marianne was 81
years old and had never visited the
mainland after her arrival in Hawaii M
in 1883. j <
For a number of years she con
ducted the hospital at Wailuku, is
land of Maui, and went to Kalaupapa ;
in 1888. She had been a sister of
the Order of St. Francis for sixty
five years, taking the veil at Syra
cuse. New ork, the mother house of
the order. Born in Germany, she
came to America when a young girl
and lived for a time at Utica.
During the reign of King Kala- j
kaua in the early eighties, when j
lepers were being segregated on |
Molokai, it became imperative that j
more nurses be obtained to care for;
the unfortunates. Walter Murray j
Gibson, an American and premier:
of the kingdom of Hawaii under j
Kalakaua, made known the wants j
of the monarchy to the head of the;
Catholic Missions.
Arrangements were made with,

cent was used for making beer, and
21* per cent for distilling spirits.1
Thus there has been a reduction
from eight and one-half per cent '
to two and one-half per cent.
