I') 111 P< * i <>r William, of Germany, Said to Have Joined Teetotalers. Berlin, Aug. 26.-Emperor Wil liam is reported to have joined the ranks of teetotalers. It is known that during his recent northern cruise tho Emperor abandoned thc use of practically all alcoholic, bev erages, and lt ls understood that he has permanently foresworn even the Fatherland's famous beer and its choicest wines, AS a substitute he has taken to lemonade with a dash of orange Juice. In imperial circles it has long been known that Emperor William was greatly impressed with statistical Study of the effects of alcohol, rang ing from Incitement to crime to im pairment of man's working efficiency. He often expressed the opinion to members of his court that Immoder ate drinking was ono of the greatest factors In retarding the development of nations. The Emperor has not forced his opinion upon his friends, however, and his own stand has received little publicity, perhaps for the same rea son that the minister of education of a South Oermnn State once opposed the establishment of a Good Templar lodgo on tho ground that lt threaten ed one of the most Important Indus tries of the Empire.
