The Texas Brewers Assn has come
to the front with an interesting propo.
sition. They offer to put up 100000
as wager to be paid to any
charity the prohitionists may name il
the prohibitionists will disprove the
alleged fact that more liquor (what
we term hard stuff, in this section) is
sold in dry states than in "wet''
ones. The brewers contend that pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor increases
the sale of ''red liquor" because it is
easier handled in an illegitimate way.
The brewers offer to leave the question
to a commission, the expense of which
the brewers will pay. Here is a
chance for the "drys" to obtain a
little reliable information at no cost
to themselves.

SEEMS TO BE
SET FOR EUROPEAN
WAR IN THE SPRING

T%euton, represented by Austria, with
the driving power of Germany behind
her, is heading for Salonika. From
north to south, or southwest, the Slav
is equally bent upon linking up the
dismembered fragments of his race
and making his way down to the
Adriatic. And the geographical and
political point at which the lines Of
these movements intersect lies in the
two provinces which form the present
bone of contention.
Through Bosnia and Herzegovina,
also through Servia herself, Austria
hopes to force her way southwark.
Through that same territory, inhab-
tied by the men of his own race and
tongue, and largely of his own re-
ligion, the Slav intends to find his way
to the sea, and thereby to unite those
kindred racial elements which are ami.
mated by the most intense hatred and
jealousy of Teutonic ambitions.

of these two tremendous opposing
