London, March 30.—Prohibi
tion as drastic as that prevailing
in Russia, today faces the United
Kingdom. The press discussions
of the letter sent by David Lloyd
George, chancellor of (he exche
quer to the ship owners federation
competes successfully in point of
interest with the news of (lie sink
ing of the. British Liner Falaba
by a Gorman submarine with a
loss of over 125 lives.
The chancellor in a letter said
"we are fighting Germany, Aus
tria and drink. So far as 1 see, the
greatest, of these three deadly foes
is drink."
He added he had a growing con
viction that only the severest me
thod would avail in dealing with
the evil.
London, March 30.—"We are
fighting Germany, Austria and
drink, and so far as 1 can see, the
greatest of these three deadly foes
is drink," said David Lloyd
George, chancellor of the excheq
uer, replying to a deputation of
the Shipbuilding Employers' fed
eration the members of which
were unanimous in urging that, in
order to meet the national re
quirements at the present time,
there should be a total prohibition
during the period of the war of
the sale of intoxicating liquors.
This, they say. should apply not
only to public houses, but also to
private clubs, so as to operate
equally with all classes of the
community.
It, was stated that despite the
fact that work was being carried
on night and day seven days in
the week the total working time
on the average in nearly all the
British shipyards was actually
less than before the war. and the
average productiveness had de
creased. There were many men
doing splendid and strenuous
work, probably as good as the
men in (lie trendies, but many
did not even approximate full
time, thus disastrously reducing
the average.
Notwithstanding the curtail
ment of the hours they are al
lowed to keep open, the receipts
of the public houses in the neigh
borhood of the shipyards had
greatly increased in some cases
40 per cent. As an instance of one
of many similar cases, that of a
battleship coming in for immed
iate repairs was cited. She was

delayed a whole day through the
absence of rivett&rs, who were
drinking and carousing.
In one yard the rivetters have
been working on the average only
forty hours a week and in another
yard only thirty-six hours.
In conclusion, the deputation,
which included representatives of
the leading shipbuilders of the
country, drew attention to the ex
ample set by France and Russia,
and urged upon the chancellor the
need of drastic action.
The chancellor of the exchequer
in the course of his reply, said the
reason why the overnment had not
heretofore taken more drastic ac
tion on the liquor question, was
because it needed to be assured
that it was not going adverse to
public sentiment otherwise more
harm would be done than good.
The government must feel that it
had every class in the community
behind it when taking action
which interferred severely with
individual liberties. But now, he
was sure the country was* begin
ning to realize the gravity of the
situation.
"I have a growing conviction,
based on accumulating evidence,"
continued the chancellor, "that
nothing but root and branch me
thods would be of the slighest
avail in dealing with the evil. I
believe it is the' general feeling
that if we are to setlle with Ger
man militarism, we must first of
all settle with the drink,"
Mr. Lloyd-George intimated
that Lord Kitchener, the secretary
of war, and Field Marshal Frencli,
in command of the British expedi
tionary forces on the continent,
were of the same opinion, and he
promised to lay the statements of
the deputation before the cabinet.
He said in conclusion:
"I had the privilege of an aud
ience with his majesty this morn
ing, and I am permitted by him
to say that he is very deeply con
cerned on this question—very
deeply concerned—and that con
cern which is felt by him I am cer
tain is shared by all his subjects
in this country."

RESCUE DELAYED
Believed That Objeot Hooked On

F-4 a#
RESCUE A LONG, SLOW TASK
Secretary Daniels Will Endeavor
to Raise It at Whatever
Cost
Honolulu, March 30.—Work on
the diving tube with which it is
hoped to confirm the location of
submarine F-i, was expected to
be completed tonight. Drag lines
of the naval lug, Navajo, are fast
to an object which is believed to
be the submarine. With the aid of
the diving tube location can
quickly be determined.
Diffioult Task
Confidence is expressed that the
mass is a part of the missing sub
marine. Great difficulty is expect
ed in raising the vessel. The pres
ent equipment of the cable lines, is
said to be inadequate. The break
ing of two lines today is evidence
that the weight to be lifted can
not be borne by'the cables now in
use. Broken lines had been tested
with 84 tons. The searchers are
resigned to a long, slow task.
Believe Craft is Waterlogged
Washington, D. C., March 30.—
Efforts to raise the sunken Unit
ed States submarine F-4, were
temporarily suspended after the
hawser with which the vessel was
being dragged toward short snap
ped. Rear Admiral Moore reported
from Honolulu that the submarine
is evidently waterlogged, and is
too heavy to be raised by present
equipment. This report destroyed
all faint hopes of finding any on
the crew numbering 21, and be
lieved to be alive. The vessel lies
in 45 fathoms, or 270 feet, this
position being held while prepar
ations of raising by pontoons are
being made.
To Raise It At Any Cost
Secretary Daniels said tonight
that the department would try to
raise the submarine at any cost
and to determine if possible the
cause of the accident to guard
against similar disasters in the
future. He emphatically denied the
reports of dissatisfaction that ov
er-work was being done by the
searchers.

LOSE OUT IN SHUFFLE
Carlessness Defeats Measures
Pased by Last Legislature
Bismarck, N. D., March 30.—
Three measures which according
to the records of the house and
senate were passed and should
have been sent to the governor
for his signature, were never
turned over to the enrolling fort,
and so are not on records as laws
of the state.
Senator Vail's bill, 100, relat
ing to township officers bonds,
was one of the measures lost in
this way.
Senator Englund's concurrent
resolution memoralizing congress
to allow American citizens who
return from Canada to re-estab
lish their citizenship after a resi
dence of one year here also disap
peared.
Representative Williams' re
solution calling on congress to
take action towards abatement of
Mississippi river floods was the
third bill to lose r»ut this way.
It was probably just a case of
carelessness on the part of some
one, as none of the bills or mea-.
sures are of such importance tbpt
anyone was particularly^ interest
ed.

NOT SUFFERED MUCH
Berlin, March 30.—The busi
ness situation in Germany is re
garded fairly satisfactory and
considerably better ,Ovan might
have been expected in view of the
war. All the industries, of course,
are running on a restricted basis,
chiefly because of the virtual ces
sation of overseas exports, but as
a large proportion of the skilled
workmen went into the army the
sharp curtailment of production
was not attended by a correspond
ing increase in unemployment.
More women and girls are seek
ing work in some branches of
industry than can find employ
ment, but this is far from being
the case with the men. On the
contrary the leading industries of
the country are seriously embar
rassed by the scarcity of skilled1
workmen. This is true of the coal
and iron trade, ship building, and
certain sections of the chemical
industry.
The farmers are among the
busiest people in the empire for
the task of replenishing the food
supply devolves upon them and
they have accomplished it with a
diminished number of laborers. It
is reported the usual acreage of
grain will be planted and prepara
tions are being made on a large
scale for spring and summer
work.
HEBREWS OBSERVE PASSOVER
At sunset Tuesday evening the
Jews of the world began the ob
servance of the feast of Pessach.
or the Passover, and the celebra
tion will continue for eight dayd.
Pessach, the Passover, or, as it al
so is known, the Feast of Unleav
ened Bread, was instituted to
commemorate the deliverance of
the Israelites from their bondage
in Egypt and their departure un
der the guidance of Moses, for the
promised land.
During the period of the Pass
over the use of ordinary bread and
all leavened food is strictly pro
hibited. Matzoth, an unleavened
cake, takes the place of bread:
Among the orthodox Jews.^ th«l
festival which has begun will be
observed for eight days, and the
last two days of the feast are also
kept as stringently as the Sabbath,
but' the intervening days are not
considered of special importance,
except that leavened food must be
abstained from.
