TEMPERANCE IN THE NAVY.
Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, May 14. '’ At the Band of Hope Conference, Admiral King Hall drew attention to the progress of the temperance movement in the Navy, but said there was still room for improvement. He condemned the issue of grog to the bluejackets, and declared that fifty per cent of them would surrender their grog if a small wage increment were substituted. He hoped that the Admiralty would spend the necessary £60,000 to bring in this reform, which would lead to an increase of efficiency. Captain AVebb declared that fifty per cent of the soldiers in India were abstainers.
