Temperance League
Seeks the Aid of
England’s Teachers
OXFORD, Eng., June 18.—(/P)—'The
British National Temperance League
is making strenuous efforts to con
vert English school teachers to its
aims. Recently the league enter
tained the delegates of the National
Union of Teachers at an Oxford
breakfast, given, it is worth while
noting, in the hall of Christ Church,
which in times past was noted as a
heavv-drinking college. Many Ox
ford notables attended or announc
ed their sympathy with the move
ment.
The vice-chancellor, whose office is
somewhat equivalent to that of the
American university president, point
ed out that drinking has decreased
enormously in the university during
the past 20 years. He said that in his
undergraduate days the usual enter
tainment was the wine party, where
as today such parties were held only
on special occasions, as very few
students regularly keep wine in their
rooms. There was, he said, no rea
son for relaxing the prohibtion cam- j
paign on this account. In this he was '
probably correct, for strict temper
ance has not yet in Oxford ac-'
quired the full status of a virtue.
The colleges all sell beer, ale and
wines to their students on long and
easy credits and provide these drinks
in their halls, and several operate
their own breweries.
But at that there has been great
improvement. A late seventeenth
century chronicler, speaking of Bal
liol College which is now known as
the intellectual leader of Oxford,
said, “There is over against Balliol
a horrid, dingy, scandalous ale-house,
fit for none but draymen and tinkers.
Here the Balliol men continually

ROME, June 23. (/P)—Europe since
the war has become a social melt
ing pot for American’s much as Am
erica before the war was a racial
and national melting pot for Euro
peans. »
This is the opinion of a number of
thoughtful Italians who have lived
for considerable lengths of time in
various parts of the United States
and who have had extensive contacts
with Americans abroad.
Life and travel in Europe, these
observers declare, break down the
sectional and social barriers between
Americans who, in their native habi
tats, consider the democratic ideas
of Jefferson and Jackson of purely
historical interest.
Except for the so-called American
aristocracy which has lived more
comfortably in Europe than Ameri
ca, ever since Tory-Whig days, al
most all Americans abroaad are mu
tually accessible. The “big man”
from the small city is willing to ac
cept as compeer the “little man”
from the big city, and he sees no
gap between himself and the low
liest of his townsmen when there i3
the choice between him and a for
eigner.
Sentiment of Americans
Saves Dutch Windmills
AMSTERDAM, Holland, June 24.—
(/P)—Native lovers of old Dutch
windmills have been much gratified
and encouraged, in their efforts to
do lie, and by perpetual bibbing add
art to their natural stupidity to make
themselves perfect sots.”
preserve the characteristic feature
of the Dutch landscape, by the live
ly interest taken by American news
papers and magazines in the re
ports that many historic mills were
threatened by demolition, or might
be displaced by prosaic oil or elec
tricity driven machinery. .
“The Dutch Mill,” the society
which aims at tlie preservation of
the familiar skyline of the classic
Dutch landscape, has received many
sympathetic inquiries from Americans
regarding the fate of the windmills.
One letter from Topeka, Kansas,
asked for a specification o: a typi
cal Dutch mill, with the object of
erecting one there.
So insistent has the outcry become
against che unnecessary demolition
of mills, that it may now be hoped
that most of the remaining ones will j
be saved.
Robert Clark, well known trader
and merchant at Bethel, is on board
the steamer Santa Ana, which ar
rived in port this morning, on his
way to the States on a buying expe
dition. Mr. Clark has one of the fin
est stores and stocks in the entire
district.
The Seward Brass Band is practic
ing nightly under the able leader
! ship of Bandmaster Armstrong. The
members of the band are well toward
20, it is reported, and the burst
of harmony emanating from Dream
land hall, where practice he held, i/ j
ample evidence of progress made.
The revenue cutter Unalga is ex
pected to arrive in port soon from
Unalaska, according to recent infor
mation received. The cutter is com
ing to take on a supply of fuel oil at
the local Standard Oil station.
None of Washington’s soldiers was
