Germany'e lEteavy• Consumption of
Spirits.
A despatch from Berlin, says :
Tbe.society for combating the use of
spirituous liquors has begun a con-
ference at. )3rest. Baron Von Dier-
garcit said at yesterday's meeting
that he believed alcohol would one
day be universally regarded as the
enemy of civilization, but at the
present it was only possible to re-
commend moderation- in its use..
Seveti hundred and fifty million dol -
Mrs was yearly spent in Germany in
intoxicating liquors. It waS esti-
mated that the average German con-
sumed equivalent to five glasses of
spirits a day. Von Diegardt added
that one difficulty in the campaign
was that the State itself was inter-
ested ite alcohol, deriving a revenue
of $41,000,000 from spirits, and
$25,000,000 from beer. One-third of
the Gerinem expeato to Togoland and
onesseventh of those to East Africa
consisted of alcohol.
