London. -The Daily Mail says that
,)fix' children of British communists
betve left Loudon for Leningrad
.pifoard the Soviet steamer Youshar,
idotWlthstanding the Home Secre
tary's refusal to grant them pass-
ports.
The determination of the Commun-
ist organization to get -the -children to
Russia and the resolve of the authori-
ties to prevent them going has filled
much space in the newspapers -lately.
Now, according to the Mail, the Com-
munists have won in the struggle, and
$jve boys, about 12 years of age and
4 girl of the same age, are voyaging
Russia in response to the invite
On of Moscow, apparently for pur-
poses of education: The paper says
two 02 them had passports, but bow
, 'they obtained thorn is a mystery.
Moscow's invitation was announced
•on May 13, and after a discussion in
t�1e papers it was stated on June 13
ltat the Government had decided to
¢fuse passports, thus establishing a
precedent, as heretofore, passports
have not been refused unles sthe ap-
plicant Has been convicted of a crime.'
The next step was a declaration by
A. J. Cook, secretary of the Miners'
Federation of Great Britain, that a
way would be found to send the child-
ren despite the government. This
+seems to have been done.

Confinement Methods Are
Declared Ineffective and
Harmful to.Prisoners
Tho Hague.—An urgent appeal for
the abolishing of the system of prison'
cells in general, and for the allowing
of equal rights for men and womeh
prisoners was voiced at a recent pub -
lie meeting of the "Anti -cell Commit•
tee for Women."
Dr. W. Francken of The Hague
stated that the system of confinement
In cells in Holland had proved a
great failure. It had no regard for
the individual requirements of those
confined. Moreover, as a rule, its
duration exceeded humanitarian de-
mands. Although some improvements
have been introduced by the, peniten-
tiary authorities' there is much. more
to be done.

In, a speech In the House of Lords,
Lord Dawson, or Penn, long chief
medical adviser to the Bing, declared
that there Is, far less drunkenness In
l5ngiaad than there is in America. His
statements were made during the sec-
ond •reading of th'e bill aimed at 'in-
troduoing local option in Engletnd and
Wales and sponsored by the Bishop of
Li•Yeppc. t.
Lord Dawson declared that the Brit-
ish nation owes some of Its sobriety
to the part played, by modern women,
whose athletic prowess has encour-
aged physical fitness in men,
"This b11'1 is aimed at establishing
a tyrannical policy," said Lord Daw-
son, after he had approved the nee of
alcohol in moderation, "It 19 unlikely
that fermented liquors ever oat be
banished from civilized countries."
' "There is hardly a country, the
K1eg'c physician continued, "where
materials for making liquors cannot

As proof of Increasing sobriety, in
England, Lord Dawson cited the re-
sult, of personal inquiries made over
a period of three years from popular
reetaulont managers. As a result of
these inqulries he Bound that 75 per
cent. of the customers drank no alco-
hol and that of the remaining 25 per
cent, three•quarters of them drank
light wines or beer, and one-quarter of
thele spirits or port.
