Uncomfortable Position.


Berlin, May 10.-The German news
papers cOndole with Great Britain on
the uncomfortable position in which
she has been placed in connection with
both Japan and France by the actions
of Admiral ROjestvensky.
1t is rather difficult to repress the
satisfaction felt in Germany over this
first check to the friendship between
France and Great Britain, which has
been the source of anxiety here.
Germany's own course in respect to

Sc no particular concern or firm could

wines in general 1t must be done if
done at all, by the industry at large,
each contributing his share of the gem
eral fund. Then if some firms prefer
to advertise their individual brands as
being better and more carefully aged

because the higher the price obtained
for the individual brand the greater
stimulus and impetus would be given
to the growing of the better varieties
OF grapes and the general uplifting of
the tone of the industry.
Eastern wine men are finding that it
pays to advertise; that it pays to bring
to the attention of the individual the
excellence of their product; and in in
vestigating material for the prepara-
ton of an address which / lately made

Congress at st. Louis, / was surprised
to find that almost one-third of the
sparkling wine, or so-called cham
pagne, consumed in this country was of
native origin. More than a dozen
brands Of Eastern champagne are be-
ing regularly advertised and largely
consumed. The quality of the product
is being improved every year. The cell
lars and methods are being constantly
enlarged upon.
Some brands of Eastern still wines
are also being advertised, and enc I
have particularly in mind appears to
have very extended popularity.

He would then be glad to pay more

To-day no such assurance exists. He
may.@believing that the outlook juSti-
fies it, pay in one vintage large price
for grapes and wine only to find that
succeeding heavy crops have so de-

ruptcy. He is not willing under such
conditions to take these chances 1t

therefore resolves itself into a question
not how much can he pay for wines
for holding and maturing. but how
little can he get them for so as to
minimize his chance OF loss?
We are a long way, however, from
shipping any such quantity of cased

In a word, nearly all this is left to

people to call instead for California

times as much as the wine consump-
ton. This appears extraordinary when
1t is considered that wine is a beyer-
age, while whisky is used largely as a
stimulant. When a man takes a con-
vivial drink it is usually whisky or
beer.
The vital question to-day in the wine
business is. How shall we popularize
the consumption of healthful native
wines, as beer and whisky have been
popularized?
The answer which first comes to the
mind is to advertise the benefits to be
derived from wine, as compared with
whisky, beer or other beverage.
among the largest advertisers in the
country are the beer interests. They
nave made it pay else they could not
continue the enormous expenditure for
bringing the attention of the public TO
their product. The whisky men also
are large advertisers. We can hardly
turn IN a street car or to a board fence
OF take up the daily newspaper with
out seeing the advertisement of this
and that brand of whisky. The ad
Nertisements are got up tastily to catch
tne eye. The public sees this or that
brand or whisky or beer constantly adj
sertlseo and comes to believe largely
from such advertising in the excellence
OF the advertised article.
rdtent medicines containing alcohol
are also very largely consumed. They
would not be consumed, they could not
reach the public, unless they were
properly advertised.
The question which arises, therefore.
Is, If the consumption of beer has
reached eighteen gallons per annum
per capita and of whisky one and a
half gallons per annum pa. CAPITA
while wine in the United States is onlv
credited with one-half gallon per an
mum per capita, whether the low con-
sumption Of wine is not somewhat d,,e
to the fact that the public attention
is not properly called to it's merits?
Then again the question arises. If
publicity viii help the consumption of
native wines who shall paw for this
