MEDFORD. BR TA N DOUBLES TAX ON LIQUOR TO CONTROL EVIL Lloyd George Proposes Heavy Sur Tax on Both Spirits and Beer and Government Control in Areas Pro tluclnii Materials of War Political Opposition Forces Abandonment. LONDON. April 2D. Chnncollor of tho exchequer Dnvld Lloyd Oconto mado known In tho houso of comiuons this nfteruoou his plan to denl with tho question with tho too Kreat consumption of alcoholic II iiiorn In KnKlaud. ilo iroposcs a very heavy surtax on both spirits and beers containing more than 7 per cent of proof spirits and thu duty on spirits Is to bo dou bled. In areas producing materials of wnr. or lu which transport work Is performed, nud In soma camp areas Iho government Is to have complete control of liquor. Tho root and branch treatment ori ginally proposed by Chancellor Lloyd tieorgo for dealing with tho liquor problem In Its relation to tho output of munitions of war, dwindled to a modest pruning when tho chancel lor presented tho government's scheiuo for restricting tho salo of drink .Voter Again Hii)n Clinnrellor Tho chancellor In his opening sen tence Indicated that tlio difficulties lio had met with, us ho said: "After weeks of trying to find a solution of tho question I am pre pared to take a pledge never to po litically touch drink again." Continuing the chancellor of the exchequer ssld'thnt nothing but real necosslty had driven tho government to submit proposnls on this subject but It was nboo all Important that the country bo nblo to untlllzo every nvnllnblo resourco to Increase tho supplies of munitions of war. When tho time enmo to drlvo tho Germans out of Flanders nud Franco, ho said, tho expenditure of ammunition and other war material must bo on a greater scalo nnd of n moro sus tained diameter than anything yet witnessed In any war. XoocfcHnry to Victory Tho chnncollor laid particular cm phnsls upon these remarks for tho benofit of thoso who might object to his present proposals. "Thoso aro necessary," ho do dared "to Insuro victory; not ultl mate victory, but victory soon with out unnecessary loss of life." Dealing with excessive drinking among soma workmen, tho chancel lor of tho exchequer remarked: "Hvorybody ngrcod on tho oxlst onco or this evil until tho remedies wero foreshadowed." Mr. I.loyd-Georgo also said that slackness in some Ilrltlsh shipyards wns cnuslng Borlous anxiety to thoso lu command of tlio fleet. Act of DLsclplIno In Introducing tho present bill to nmond to tho Defenso of tho lloalm Act, tho chancellor said ho was not proposing n solution of tho tempor alis question, but only an act of discipline during tho wnr. With roferenco to his tnslng plan tho chnncollor estimated that tho double duty on spirits would yield tho same total na heretofore, allow ing for docrensod consumption, deer would bring In 100,00 oxtra and wines 1,500,000. In controlled arous tho government Is to have tho power, for tho period of thu wnr, to closo any naloon con sidered injurious.

E TO From tho quiet, almost obscure position as rulers of little Delglum, tho war has mado the Ilclglan royal family conspicuous In tho eyes of tho world. Tho retiring, , home-loving k Ing'and queen- found' tboiuslcs suddenly In tlit limelight and ns horo and heroine. War has stripped them of tholr country, their palaces and castles, everything but their souls. Their children, to whom they wero real parents, aro tulles nway from them. Thero never wns anything artlsto crallc about tho royal houso of Del glum slnco Albert bcramo king. Tho ruler had been n scrlous-nilndcd young man, a student , with a thor ough knowledge of medicines, me chanics nnd a particular ability with electricity. No relatives picked his wife for him, It was a genuine lovo match and tho reason for It, perhaps, was be cause tho Duchess Kllznbeth of IM' vnrla wns a student as hlmsolf. Sho was n daughter of tho Into Duko Charles Theodore, famed us an oc ulist, nnd Is a physician and trained nurso herself. At tho palnco they spont tho even ings with their children rather thnn In recoptlons nnd tho thentro. Their boys, Crown Prlnco Leopold, 13, and Prince Charles Theodore, 11, nro cap ablo musicians, playing tho violin as does their mother nnd father.
