No recent development of the war
and this must be regarded as a big w

and physical activity among F.nglanc

gence in liquor has so retarded pr

war success ia threatened unless Sui

Soon after ihe London eo tspondei
of The Tribune had informed Heni

It wh? readily agreed 'hat in 3
lay the one hone of converting th

The conference consumed ?hi?

of the movement, it need onlv be san
that a tentative tour programme ha
