The whole country is enjoying freedom from the constant menace or the open bar.” A letter received by Sir James Allen and quoted by him on March 27, contained the following:—“lt is a most pathetic sight to see a mother meet her soldier son who is drunk. Our hearts ached the other day when one of our most respected families had this mortification. Only a few days ago a weeping mother was seen gadding her staggering boy along our railway platform.”
