ENGLAND'S BOOZE BILL.
During the first twenty months of the war England spent on an average two and a-half million dollars a day for booze; that is enough to buy 300 aeroplanes or three stiper-Dread-naughts every fortnight. During this same twenty months of war the peasants of boozeless Russia saved more money in the saving banks than England did in 15 years from 1900 to 1914, both years inclusive.
