C UT. IIOBSON LAST NIGHT.
.Made a Powerful Prohibition Addrrw
to a Larjre Audience.
('apt. Hichmonl Parin UcAttm
sioke on 'Ainerit-a in War," last night
at the Central school auditorium. Kv
ery xeat in the liou.e, up tair and
down, va taken, and considerable
standing rcxm u.mh1. .
The American national hymn wan
sung, after which Upt. It. M. Taylor
11 in prayer. Mr. I). IJ. Coltrane
simply presented Capt. Hobson to the
audience, and the preliminaries were
over.
Capt. HobsonV Freech wax unique
and different. He dealt not with the
sentimental side but the practical. He
presented the matter of temperance
and prohibition from a standpoint of
a military and scientific man who
knows exactly Avhat he is talking
alout. He realized that this is a sol
emn hour and that humanity is in
peril. Realizing that he exerted every
effort to make his hearers realize it.
The future religious, moral and physi
cal well leing of all the jwoples of the
earth is in grave danger. If America
becomes dry, he said, she will be in a
position to call on all the allies to fol
low her. Two thirds of our popula
tion and ninety icr cent, of our terri
tory are already dry. We are now get
ting ready for the last big drive to put
prohibition into our organic law.
The breweries are now destroying
over .(KK),(XKMHK) loaves of bread a
day. more than enough to feed the
armies of our allies and our own. A
mere handful of men. less than one
third of ow per cent, of our popula
tion, are having this horrible burden
on us. It's the big breweries here who
have financed' the German propaganda"
in f ids country. Not a gallon of ber
is being made in (icnnany and Aus
tria now. Why should we allow it?
Let every man write President Wilson
and the Secretary it War to use their
authority to' shut down the breweries
and put the' country, on a dry basis.
Germany and Austria are getting the
benefit of the added efficiency by shut
ting down the breweries. Why should
not. we?
Democracy wet cannot win against
autocracy dry, and if it did the vic
tory woidd be short-lived. No endur
ing iKuice is possible Avithout a sober
world. We cannot be free as long as
we hae liquor. Are all the sacrifices
we are now making to be in vain?
Capt. Ifopson spoke of the effects of
alcohol on men physically and morally.
Five ounces of alcohol if taken into
the system at once, will surely kill any
human leing, and there is no hope for
him. Liquor has doubled the mortal
ity of our. young men. Twice as many
die as ought. We lun-e 700,000 more
deaths every year than we would hare
if "fhla-wereTt sober rratioit. -Th mostt
of pneumonia deaths should be at
tributed to liquor, direct or remote.
America must become soler or perish
from the face of the earth like Baby
lon. Nineeh, Greece and Rome.
Liquor has" laid its tribute on the
motherhood of the land. Half our
species die below the age of five. The
speaker told of the awfid effects of al
cohol. speaking from scientific stand
point. It was a picture never to be
forgotten. It Avas cold-blooded facts,
free from "any sentiment; A nation
must renew its life through it's fami
lies. Let us cut the millstone of de
generacy from alK)ut the neck of our
species and give it. a 'chance to saA'e
itself. The nation that goes on in
this degeneracy Avili surely perish
The stupendous thing about this war
is that it has brought the great psy
cholological hour of -mail's opportun
ity. The nation that does not become
sober now will never become sober,
and you can Avrite its epitaph in ad
Aance. The hour of human destiny
has struck,, and the fate of the species
is hanging in the balance. Let us
break "the shackles now and render
this great service to humanity. If you
want to do the greatest thing to pre
vent the peril that threatens lis, that
the sacrifices of our boys may not be
in vain, enlist now in this great Avar
Avith us, implored the speaker.

Aerial and artillery fighting

railway junctions and other military
tanrets continue to be bombed by allied
airmen. '
British shipping losses for the week
show an increase over the previous
period. Eighteen merchantmen, four

by submarines or mines, as compared
with fifteen including twelve of the

A RING TO END THE AVAR?
It Should Re Sent to the Kaiurr by All
Mean.
Paris, Feb. 2. Could the Ring of
Spain end the war at one? According
to a French writer thi hhoiild bo
possible.
In Madrid, in a certain public f-juare,
stands a statue of Our Ijuly of Alum
dena. On a -gold' chain about tbe wck
of the f tattie hangs' a ring richly M't
Avith diamond. " SAly meddle with
it. EAen thieves let it severely alone.
The reason is plain. For the ring in
endowed with a terrible ioHer, n it
history proves.
Klmr Alfonso XII. .made a prnt of
It t his yvife. Quen Mercelec tu'n
Mercedes died a month Liter. Tlicn
tin King gave the ring to hi iter,
the Infanta Maria. A few itay after
wards the Infanta died. The ring, re
verting to the royal giver, wa nett
present to his late' Jtu n grand-!
mother. Queen Christina. w!k.
dead within three months.
After that the monarch kept the ring
in bis own jewel cricket. Within tin
year lie was dead. Ever ince then
the rinff lias hung alont tlie neek of
Our Lady of Almudena.
The Miggetion of the Fmich writer
is this: Why shouldn't tb present
King of Siwiin wnd the ring to tlw
