Received December 7, 9 a.m. MELBOURNE, December 7. Colonel Foxton, C.M.G., V.D., in discussing the Defence Bill, said he had charge of a camp in Queensland
which was run on temperance lines. There was no canteen, and on the first night many of the men walked four mi'es to get beer. The second night was worse. He had never seen to much drunkenness in a camp, and to save the situation he got some barrels of beer. From that hour the drunkenness ceased.
