ALCOHOL TAX Prevents
DRUG MANUFACTURE
ENGLAND II BEGINNING 10 FIND
OFT THE MISTAKE SHE
MADE.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press
LONDON. oct y TO the English
practice of considering alcohol as a
Leverage instead Of a chemical, which
is also true Of the United States, Is
attributed GermHny's almost eXclu-
siye trade in fine chemicals for use I'm
medicine and the arts. English
chemical manufacturers are therefore
trying to induce the government TO
take off the tax on alcohol which now
amounts to $5 pr more the gallon, ac-
curdmg to strength.
Although protecti;o nation, it is
pointed out that Germany has had at
its command an unlimited supply of
duty and tax free alcohol. Its legis-
lators realized the Importance Of alco-
hol to the trade in commercial chemi-
Gals and have not believed that cheap
alcohol has anything to do with the
temperance question.
Denatured alcohol, which Is made
undrinkable through the mixture Of
poisons at the expense of 6 cents
the gallon, is relieved Of tax in Great
Britain. But impure alcohol cannot
be used in the making Of fine chemi-
Gals
Alcohol plays an important part in
the making Of almost every chemical,
directly or indirectly 1t is most USE
full as solvent for extracting active
principles from plants and IN purify
ing them, but from the commercial
point Of view 1t is quite as important
In working up waste materials into
by-products, on which successful
manufacturing largely depends these
days
Owing to the excessive tax on pure
alcohol, England ceased to manufac-
ture cocaine. which owing to the war.
has advanced from four shillings to
ten shillings an ounce. ACeto-sayi-
cylic acid and salicylate of soda have
increased proportionatcly Thymol is
but one Of the articles which have
jumped from seven shillings to A. the
pound, or thereabOuts.
The government has endeavered to
save these important drugs for British
use by prohibiting their export But
the supply is limited British manu-
facturers will not undertake their
production because they see their
business gone when the war ends.
They say that if they are to equip
special plants they must be able to
meet German competition in the flu
ture, and they cannot do this unless
the tax is taken off of pure alcohol
for commercial use

SOLDIERS BRASS BUTTONS
NOW MADE IN ENGLAND
err IN Duty ALLOWED Enc
LAND TO UNDERBID THE.
UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON, oct. 3l.-The
brass buttons for American soldiers
uniforms have been made in England
under contract awarded by the DEM
.cratic secretary of war and Demo-
cratic secretary Of navy.
Uncle Sans soldiers and sailors
wear lot Of brass buttons. Some
of them have two double rows down
the front of their uniforms. Then.
there are army and navy ornaments,
shoulder-straps and other kind of Of
flcial insignia. Uncle Sans revenue
officers. under Secretary McAdoo,
wear brass buttons too, and even the
capitol policemen and watchmen at
the doors of the government depart
ments are adorned with these shining
.mblcms of Official authority.
The civilian who doesn't care much
about brass buttons anyhow may find
IL difficult to realize that Uncle Sam
spends from sixty to seventy thou
sand dollars a year for brass and
bronze buttons, but he does. In the
basket clause of Schedule q, of the
Democratic tariff law, the duties on
these buttons was reduced from 80
per cent to % per cent, ad valorem.
As soon as this cut was made, an
English firm entered competition for
the button contract and because of
cheap labor was able to underbid the
American manufacturers who had
handled the contract satisfactorily
for several years and had given en-
ployment to hundreds of men in the
making Of American buttons for
American soldiers.
As soon as the contract was
awarded to British button manufac-
turers New England manufacturers.

U. S. Agent Goes to
Probe BentonS' Death.

Ell PASO, TEXAS, Feb. 27.-Bear-
ing instructions from the American
State Department to make the most
rigid inquiry possible, George C. Car
others, special agent cf the United
States Government, left to-day for
Chihuahua City to inquire into the
cause of the death of William s.
Benton, the wealthy English ranch
man, who was recently killed in Jua =
rez.
During the night several long tele-
grams were received by Mr.. Caroth-
ers from Washington, all bearing up
on the Benton case. Their contents
were not divulged.
Mr.. Carothers left for Chihuahua
City in an automobile, placed at his
disposal by General Villa. The auto
mobiles wheels had been fitted with
langes so it could travel over the
tracks of the National Railway line.
Alexander PerceVal, British Consul at
Galveston, who was commissioned by
his Government to probe the death of
Benton, did not go south with Mr..
Carothers. He remained in FL PaSo
in order to confer with General Hugh
L. Scott, commander of Fort Bliss, as
to his course of procedure.
Word from Chihuahua says Villa
dropped his defiant attitude to- day,
and announced he would do all in his
power to assist the representative of
the United States to investigate Ben
TONS death.
The storm which has been aroused
by the killing of the Englishman has
awed the aggressive and naughty
rebel chieftain. His attitude now is
conciliatory and friendly.
Gustave Bauch, the German Amer
lean citizen who disappeared on Feb
ruary 15 after being arrested by Villa
as a spy, is still missing, despite wide
spread search for him. The United
States Government is taking no off,
cial part in this search, however
