Germany’s Alcohol Problem

GERMANY’S own papers and statistics refute the claim that little drunkenness exists in that beer-loving country. Witness the following current item from the German press: “Germany annually spends 430,000,000 marks for its army, but not much less for its alcoholic drinks, which cost 406,000,000 marks. Statistics show that the intemperate class furnishes thirty per cent. of all the insane, fifty per cent. of all the poor, and seventy per cent. of all the criminals.”—California Prohibitionist.
