Adolphus Busch
is Much Opposed
to Prohibition
Contends that People Should Be
Allowed to Eat, Drink and
Smoke What They Want To.

BERLIN, July Especial Cablegram j.
Adolphus Busch. the multlmillionaire Amer
lean brewer has arrived at his viva near
Langenschwal and will return to his homo
in st. Louis early in october. During the
summer he will tour the continent by auto
mobile with his family and spend much
time hunting upon his vast game preserve
in Germany.
Mr.. Busch is pessimistc over conditions
in America He believes that the people
are being misled by temperance advocates.
prohibition is the curse of any nation"
said he emphatically. People should be al
lowed to eat and drink and smoke as much
as they want to. When lawmakers begin
to say that persons shall not eat and drink
and smoke they begin to take away liber-
ties which make the people slaves.
America is being ruined by prohibition,
No country can attain the full measure Of
culture and civilization and education
where prohibition prevails. Prohibition
makes race OF hypocrites out of the peo-
pie who are bound by it."
Mr.. Busch's plea for drink comes at a
time when many Of the German educators
are Joining in a great movement to sup
press beer drinking in the German uni
versities. The teachers claim that the stu
dents are stunted morally, mentally and
physically by the prodigious amount OF
beer which they consume.
Mr.. Busch has made millions Of dollars
out of his st. Louis breweries and his
German estate is one Of the finest In the
nation. His game preserve consists Of more
than $1,000 acres stocked with every kind of
game. The residence rivals the elegance OF
many Of the famous castles in the Rhine
valley. There are number of hunting
lodges and small army of retainers is
kept upon the estate through the winter
months caring for II.

The match between Miss Zimmerman and
Miss Fellers was very interesting to the
gallery, but Miss Fellers did not really get
into the game until the second set had be-
gun, when It looked for a time as IL she
might win after all. The first set went to
Miss Zimmerman, 6-1, and she Outplayed
Miss Fellers in all the points Of the game,
but the second was a duece one and ended
7-5 in her favor.
Both the girls play fast game of ten
mis- and give promise of becoming con-
testants OF championship quality before
many years. Miss Fellers has a fine serv-
ing ball with a great deal Of speed and
some curve, but she has not learned to
control it yet and Is liable to make dou-
BILE trying to use 1t. In returning the ball
she uses a straight cut on a forward stroke,
but her backhand stroke is very weak, and
on this account she lost many points. Miss
Zimmerman has a good serve, not as swift
as her opponents, but with a sharp drop
that Is very disconcerting. Her return is
always sure, and she places the ball, using
her head at all stages of the game, and
discovering her opponents weaknesses.
Both of the girls are Omaha high school
students
