HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
the century Professor Harper, of
Chicago L T nlversity, lecturing; to the
National Geographic Society, saidi
the bloodless revolution would have
been impossible but for the prevail
ing temperance conditions. And we
do not forget that the national pro
hibition brought on suddenly by the
war was due to the defeat ef Russifc
In the preceding war with Japan,
which Russian statesmen charged
even more to "the little brown Jug"
than to the little brown men.
"And have you noted that Emper
or William prophesied that Russia
will conquer? In 1911, he said to
his naval cadets, speaking of "the
next war": "That nation which
takes the smallest quantity of alco
hol will win."
"That link in our historic chain
leads back to the worst defeat of the
war, the defeat of Britain's uncrown
ed King George, whose first name
is Lloyd, who said that Britain's
greatest foe was not Germany but
Drink, and proposed that Britain
follow Russia in national prohibition;
but now as the premier bows before
King Alcohol, cutting off but the
edge of his robe instead of cutting
off his head.
"Will the United States repeat
. T ihn Bull's surrender to John Bar
leycorn, or follow In national prohi
bition the two newest and biggest
republics? China on March 31 com
pleted the national prohibition of
opiuni, which would have been as
swift as Russia's but for Britain's
refusal to permit. it sooner. The
motto of that antioplum crusade
might well become a world-wide slo
gan in the fight against Intoxicants;
'That our country may be strong.'
"Congress is talking of increasing
its 'infernal revenue' from rum to
pay the costs of war, but this blun
der, excusable in 1861, would be in
defensible in presence of the proofs
that this war has afforded in the
experience of every belligerent that
drinlc is a drag on every military
agency."
Pleads For Prohibition
Startling facts about the consump
tion of liquor and the enormous cost
of the war were presented by Mr.
Howard.
Declaring the Imperial power of
the kaiser must be broken he also
insisted that no burden should be
placed on future generations of that
country in the way of war Indem
nity.
B isagnetaoid otun aotauntauonan
( Basing his statement on figures
from the United States Department
of Agriculture, Mr. Howard declared
the grain used in the manufacture of
liquor In the United States in one
s'ear would provide one loaf of bread
each day In the year for each family
in the nation. To this fact he added
that 25 per cent, of tho 4,000,000
volunteers for the British army had
been turned down because of rav
ages of the liquor traffic. Mr. How
ard then pleaded for the abolition of
the busines as a necessity for effi
ciency lh couducting the war.
It was shown that Tngland Is pay
ing interest on a debt of *600,000 in
curred in the RevoluUonary War;
that the total war debt of tho world
was $37,000,000,000 until the begin
ning of the present war, and that
the cost of the first 1,000 days of the
present war has been *77,000,000.-
000.
The compensation which tho
United States can secure through the
present war is abolition of the li
quor traffic, the speaker declared,
pointing to the political and religious
freedom and abolition of liquor in
Russia and the wiping out of class
distinction In England as world gains
resulting from the great upheaval.

ROTARY CLUB AT
RAILROAD Y.M.C.A.
Horace Geiscl Entertains; Ad
dresses by H. E. Murray and
Frank ii. Gregory
Horace Geisel, physical director and
assistant secretary of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Y. M. Q. A., entertained'
the members of the Rotary Club of
Harrlsburg at 'the association build
ing on Reily street last evening. Ad
dresses were made by H. E. Murray,
cashier In the division freight agent's
office and president of the association;
by Frank H. Gregory, the general
secretary, and by Mr. Geisel, outlining
the work of the association.
It Is a far cry from the days In
which the association was housed in
two small second-story rooms at
Sixth and Cumberland streets to the
great work now being: done for a
membership embracing: hundreds In
the large brick building that Includes
restrooms, a big auditorium, bowling
alleys, gymnasium, billiard tables and
the only swimming pool In the city.
But in all that time Secretary Gre
gory, beloved by all who know him,
has presided over the destinies of the
association. Twenty-fWo years hav&
passed since he took hold of the work
and he appeared still a vigorous
young man as he addressed the Ro
tary Club last evening.
Lewis Buddy, the Boy Scout cam
paigner. outlined the progress of his
work here, and predicted a very Buc
cessful outcome of the work now un
der way.
After the meeting the members n
joyed the gymnasium and the awlm-§
ming pool. The next meeting of the
club will be held two weeks henca
at the Colonial Club, when the annual
election will be held. the club
will entertain the Hagerstown Rotar
lans who will motor here for lunch*
