The Government Is Determined To Put Down Brandy Drinking--It { May Take Years. | London, March 9.--In an interyiew | with an English correspondent cabled here from Christiania, the Norwe- gian Premier, Gunnar Knudsen, says: "We intend to deal shortly with the drink question--brandy. It will be a hard fight. But we shall win, And our victory will mean much for our country. "Will. the you?" "Yes----of course! Nevertheless we shall assuredly stop .this brandy. It will take a few years. Wé know that. But we shall stamp out drunks« enness. On the whole we are a very sober people. Still, those. who are drunken do great harm to themselves and to others.

She sang three songs, for which she was udly applauded. The same bill will be repeated to-night for the last time. -------- War Pictures at the Strand. At the Strand last night a large audience was thrilled by the presen- tation of the French official war pic- tures which have created enthusiasm wherever shown. Those .who view these pictures see actual warfare on the western front. They first see over 100,000 French troops pass in review before the President of Franec, the King of Belgum and General Joffre; they see operations in the trenches-and the ceaseless firing of the magnificent artillery at the German lines. Armed aeroplanes are seen leaving their base for obser- vatipn tours and to carry death and destruction behind the enemy lines, Observation balloons to direct the artillery fire are also viewed. Mass in the forest is an impressive scene. The audience sees how armored mo- tor cars deceive the enemy aviators by making themselves appear just like a row of bushes, forming part of the landscape, bicyclists holding up the makeshift hedge.. The work of thie Red Cross, beginning at the trenches and ending at the hospital, is fully shown. The burial of the dead is a gruesome picture. The French soldiers are seen cutting off the 'tags from the dead before they are dropped into the common grave, The battle of Champagne is very vivid, the German shells falling with- in 100 feet of the moving picture ma- chinesg¥ind the parade of 21,000 Germ&n prisoners after this battle is very inspiring. Kitchener's visit to the trenches in companp with Joffre is highly interesting. . The audience enjoys a laugh at the scheme em- ployed by the French to keep the Hun prisoners from running away-- cutting off their trosurers' buttons. The pictures Will be shown again to-night and on Saturday. The or- chestra music is a feature at the Strand. THE Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN. ep-- The Additional Subscribers to the | Fand. The Y. M.
