PROHIBITION ALLIANCE.
NEW SOUTH WALES REPORT.
Received May 15, 9 a.m. SYDNEY, May 15. Tho New South Wales Alliance decided to change its name to the New South Wales Prohibition Alliance. The annual report showed that the Stale’s drink bill last year was £11,349,000 or £5 2s 8d per head of population, an increase over tho previous year of £295,000. Arrests for drunkenness .also showed air increase. In view of these facts it was claimed that satisfactory regulation for tho restriction of the drink traffic was unthinkable, and tho only course was to fight for total prohibition. Ilence the change in name.— Press Association.
