EA.PLY closing movement. Sydney, April 3. The temperance bodies are gratified at the example of the King in the anti-liquor movement and the success of the movement for the early closing of hotels in South Australia. It is stated that Tasmania intends to emulate South Australia. The temperance leaders here claim that the war is doing much to disillusion the community on the liquor question.
A Press Acsociation message states that at tho conference of Sunday-school teachers in Marton, at which 120 delegates attended, the following resolution was carried:—"That this conference views with delight the lead shown the Empire by the King and leading statesmen in banishing intoxicants from their respective households, and expresses the hope that Mr. Lloyd George will be successful in his proposal for the national abolition of tho drink traffic during the war, believing that such traffic is a greater menace than German guns."
