Tennant, Under-Secretavy for War, repudiated Mr. Lawrence Ginnell's suggestion that young men who were total abstainers, upon enlistment, became confirmed drunkards. He said that no such complaints had reached tho War Office. He was sorry that anyone in a responsible- position should make a suggestion so devoid of foundation. Stringent measures were taken to limit .-the con«unip'
tion of drink. All intoxica-nts sent to the front were exclusively for the wounded, except rum.
