WAR IN GERMANY
 HTS WINE OUTPUT

6CorreslSondence of Associated Preas)
 BerlfnsE Nov. 19.-German's best wine producing district, A1sace-Isor- raiIe, hss suffered heavily by the war. and it is claimed that the output this year wilE be far below normal. Al sace, especially, has a poor crop. ac- cording f1O reports. Not alone had the bad seasons of the last .sten years caused a. reduction of the area of vineyards to 108.840 hectares a de- crease of 108 hectares Cor about 300 acres) since 1903, but the earlier months ofsStlae year were very unfavor- able for the development of the plant The vines were affected by phy1oxera which inc essant cold rains made worse, and then. when hot weather finally carnAs. the war broke out In Southern A1sace, where the valleys and hi11sides of the Vosges are almost entirely givHn to wine growing, many vineyards were cut down in order to facilitate military operations. while others were tramp1ed down during battles.

DRINKING PROBLEM
 WORRYING LONDON

Correspondence of Associated Press)
 London Nov. 1s.-The matter of drinking among women, as well a the custom of treating recruits by the admiring public, is strongly engaging the attention of the authorities in London and the provinces. While the closing hours Of public houses have been made earlier throughout Eng land other measures are discussed. One is that women be barred from the public houses altogether, since many of them have more money to spend while their husbands are away at the war. Another proposal is to ex- clude women from the drinking places in the morning.
 Nina Boyle, who is at the head of the political and militant department of the Women's Freedom League, makes an indignant protest in a let ter to the Prime Ministers Secre- tary.
 s'It is my duty to warn you that these repeated attacks on our lib- critics are provoking the deepest i'm dignation among men and women alike" says her letter. Miss Boyle all so wrote:
 May I point out to you
 That the allowances paid to wo- men are their own money. and that they have the same right to spend their money as they like as men have.
 That no attempt, apparently, is be- ein engineered to regulate tile a1- 1owances oA soldiers and sailors, many of whom, according to informa- ton supplied me. are. spending the money paiad them by. the Government on drink and immoral women with out restraint.
 That there has been no increase in, the drinking among women since the outbreak of war at all propor-s .tionate to the increase of drinking am ong men.
 tThe probable reason for the state Inent that more women are drinking now is that at the present time pub nc-houses are so thronged with male custonersEof whom an enormous number are men in uniform-that wo- men cannot gain access to the prem ises and are served outside, where naturally they are more conspicuous

WAR CUTS DOWN
 UNEMPLOYED ARMY

: (Correspondence of Associated Press)
 London. Nov. 19.@OmciaI reports of the government show that unem- ploymemt among men is now about one per cent less than it was at the beginning of the war. These figures are somewhat surprising in view of the fact that nearly one million men have volunteered their services and are under training in teh army.
 Men who have not entered the army find little trouble now in finding work, notwithstanding the fact that thousands of places vacated by men have been filled by women. The government has hurried forward a contract for the construction of new Post Office tube, which will give employment to thousands of men for a year or more.

COARSE BREAD IS
 BIG PARIS WORRY

(Corresp sponde ence of Associated Press1 Paris, Nov 19.=Attention has al ready beeen called to the fact that Paris was never so well nor so cheap ly fed as since the war begun. This situation continues, and applies to the entire country, excepting the unfor- ttnate regions that have been ravaged by the occupation of the hostile troops.
 Paris suffers in this respect from only one thing; it's delicate taste is rebellious to the coarser quality of bread to which bakers were confined by government order, and are pray ing that the bakers be permitted to furnish the pain de fantaisie'' as they call the finer qualities of French bread.
 The limitation of baking to this one coarser quality was intended to so simplify the work of bakers as to remedy the difficulty caused by the exodus of so many of their employees to the front Some of the higher classes of bakers. which in Paris come under the category of pastry-cooks, which constitutes the principal part of the Parisians breakfast. but for the population in general there are no "croissants,'' no cakes or. cookies of any sort, and they are obliged ito take common bread with their coffee in the srnornin.
 Formerly considerable quantities of Viennese bread called pain Ven nois'' were consumed in Paris. though in most cases it was not made in Viz emma. It has been proposed to change the name of this bread to pain Lie geois.. at the same time honoring the heroic Belgian town and getting rid of a name that Is no longer pop ular in Paris.

ALL OF ENGLAND
 SPECULATES ON
 GERMAN MOVES

(Corespondence of Associated Press0
 London, Nov. f91Remarka'bIe ru-
 nors are circulating in London con corning the means the Germans ex- pect to use in reaching England Guns which can shoot across the Strait Of Dover, submarine transports capable of landing large detachTnents of sol- diers on the English coast, and sub marine forts along the Belgian coast are among the mysterious devices gos- sip accredits Germany as having in reserve.
 The activity of the Germans in pre- pairing fortif1cations of some sort at Zeebrugge, on the Belgian coast north of Ostend and not far from the mouth Of the Scheldt, has given rise to many alarming stories One is that caissons are being sunk from which the Ger mans will be able to fire torpedoes.' These caissons are supposed to be per nlanent and Of such character that they can be used to conceal disappear Ing guns which can in an emergency be raised for use above the water.
 Christmas dinner in London is the latest slogan of the German troops along the Belgian coast. Officers and men have constantly circulated the report that they expect to invade Eng land- While English officials have said little about a possible invasion, there has been no lack Of preparation to receive the onslaughts of any force Of Germans which might manage to cross the twenty miles of water be- tween Dover and Calais.
 English 1aeroplanes and dirigibles are constantly on the alert. The sea is fairly alive with naval craft of all descriptions. Mines are carefully placed and any. landing in England would doubtless be made at terrib cost, if such a. landing be possible, and once landed an enemy would. find coast artillery and every possible sort of obstruction standing between the sea coast and London. Wire entag- glemeHts and breastworks of sand bags bar all paths leading from pos sible landing places to the tops of the cfra1ky cliffs wl1icht surround the island Trenches for rifemen and field guns have been dug in strategic points all along the coast.
 Hundreds Of thousands of young soldiers have been, giving practical lessons in digging entrenehments from one end of England to the other And the wpAk has been all directed by mil dtary experts who saw to it that earthw0rks were erected where it was possible they might be useful in case some gE eat disaster should befau the English navy

GUARDS
 AGAINST DISEASE
 FROM WAR ZONES

(Corresp ondence of Associated Press)
 Fo1kestone. Nov 17.=English health officers at F'olkestone are talk ing unusual precautions to prevent the admission of diseases into Eng land from the war zone. Passengers arriving on the Flushing, Dieppe, Boulogpe and Calais saboats are ex- a-mined with great care.
 F'o1kestone is now practically the only commercial port open for pas senger business from the continent, so the stream of refugees, tourists and wounded soldiers all passes through this port.
 Health officers feel the pulse of ev- cry passenger, examine the wrist carefully, look into the throat and eyes and scrutinize the forehead for evidences of smallpox. In order that they may see the foreheads of ladies whose hair is fashionably dressed it is frequently necessary to push the hat and front hair back. This action on the part of physicians has ire quently caused ladies to believe the physicians were secret service men who suspected they had message con- cea1ed in their hair.
 Immigration officials and plain clothes men examine the papers of all passengers very carefully before
 
 gage them in conversation in an ef- fort to ascertain whether their French or English has a German accent. Bag gage is also examined thoroughly by inspectors to make cure it contains no German newspapers or letters from Berlin for persons in England.
 Because of the improper use made Of American passports by Lieutenant Lody of the German Naval Reserve and other spies apprehended in Eng land, France and Belgium. all bear CTS of American passports are rigor- ously cross-questioned.
 Flushing is the only open gateway from the United States and England to Germany which affords a direct trip and most travellers to and from Germany go by the Holland route. as it is much shorter than a trip by way of Denmark. Norway and Swe- den. Consequently the Flushing boats would be probably selected by secret agents of the German govern ment.
 Scattered cases of scarlet fever and smallpox have already made their ap- pearance among Belgian refugees in Holland and Northern Belgium. Every effort has been made to prevent the spread of these diseases in the re- fuge camps, but the Belgians are living in such crowded and unsan- itary conditions that it is difficult to protect them against contagaon.
