Montreal] May 6---A shock awaits the many temperance beer restau- rants and hotels in Montreal--they are to get nohlicenses. The Govern- li [ment has decided on this policy, ana a result the License Commission | } rs ar ira ori 50th, as did the other licenses. The decision to eliminate these temperance beer places is a result of the report of the provincial. re- venue officers, who found that they were detrimental to public order in many respects. They were not ob- liged to close, and most of them "| consequently made their own hours and kept open all night, as well as on holidays and Sundays. Many operated respectable establishments, but many more, it is claimed, fell short. Returned soldiers were chief- ly catsred to, some places having signs to the effect that they sought soldiers' custom. The result was considerable drunkenness, for it was not always the 2.5 per cent proof spiritg beer that was sold, but alcoholic drinks as well." Still an- other feature was that some of thése places employed women and girls about the place. $500,000 WORTH OF LIQUOR Seized During Year in Michigan; Will be Exported.

London, May 6.--When Sir BEd- ward Kemp returns to Canada he will request the Government to pro- vide suitable accommodation for the huge collection of trophies captured by the Canadians during the war, or afterwards collected.

Prinz Bitel Friedrich's helmet, Hindenburg's sword, and the tele- phone used by Ludendorff at Spa are among the trophies. The Caa- adians also have a large number of documents establishing the German atrocities, such as the execution of Capt. Fayatt. Up to the present 107 field guns, 10 trench mortars, and. 248 machine guns have been ship- ped to Canada, but there are many more hundreds to be sent as well as tanks, shells, German equipment, searchlights and telephones. A special allotment of 5,000 German rifles and bayonets has been made to Canada. The total results is a very large collection 'which will re- quire a large building 'to accommo date it. When all the trophies are gathered together, Canada will have a display second to none in the Bri- tish Empire. One hyndred captured German airplanés /have just been presented to Caraga by the War Office, and will be included in the Dominion's collection. Canada already had 40 enemy planes as well as a number of component parts, and has.asked the French and Italian Governments for additional donations of aeronautical equipment.

"There is a certain danger in ery- ing wolf before the wolf is in sight. The wolf for us free traders is not Imperial preference, but tariff re- form. Joseph Chamberlain's = pro- gramme was to build up a great new tariff for the purpose of grafting preference upon it, and in particular main imports of food and raw ma- terials. Austen Chamberlain's course -has been to give the Empire preférence in respect of duties ai- ready existing, a modest list not de- signed for protectionist purposes nor capable of serving them. The difference between the two policies is fundamental in the present pro- posal and is appreciated by the Do- minions and Indfa, and cannot be shown in any real sense to damage the Mother Country, which has ever made it a principle to treat all other countries précisely alike in respect to customs duties.
