BEER FAMINE IN BERIIN
Prices Increase as the Supply Ora
dually Diminishes :,

Berlin, Aug. 2-Prospects of .
beer shortage, and, as its natural re-
sultant. another increase in prices,
is giving concern to the authorities.
For some time now the beer produc-
ton has been reduced to 60 per cent
of it's former tigures-for the purpose
of cutting down the quantity of bar
lev used. AT the same time the brew
cries are required to set apart 20
per cent of the old production figures
for the army---with the result that
Berlin has to subsist on 40 per cent.
of it's onc-time supply.
Aside from the general public,
which either is getting less beer 10
drink than before. or is paying more
for it. or both, the restaurant and
cafe proprietors are the ones hardest
hit. Even the raise in prices that
have been effective for months have
not compensated for the materlat
reduction in number of sales.
AS one means for aiding tham it
now is proposed to stop the sale OF
bottled beer in grocery and other
stores that have income sources, IL
nit materially the bottled beer pro-
duction. and permit the restaurants
to handle all that is produced. The
sale of bottled beer in municipal or
Government buildings it is proposed
to stop altogether. as further
means of Tightening the load of the
restaurateur.
A restriction of spirituous liquors
50 severe that it amounts almost tc
discontinuance of their sale is also
proposed.

and leaned over to see how the gaso-

Sparks from the cigarette produced

FULL TEXT OF
AUSTRIAN NOTE
Official Translation Shows
Missive to be Profuse- i:
ly Friendly
IT IS ARGUMENTATIFE
Attempts TO Prove United States
Can Stop Furnishing Allies With
Ammunition if it Chooses.

Washington, Aug. 2-Publicntion
today Of the complete text OF the
Austro- Hungarian note on american
neutrality and the shipment OF nit
nitions of war discloSes the TACT that
an earlier translation had been CEN
sored in such way as to change its
tone.
The Austro- Hungarian embassy's
official translation, which follows. IS
effusively friendly. It's obvious pur-
pose is to prove that the United
States can stop such munitions ship
ments as it chose. but it was argu-
mentative, not threatening in its
phraseology.
The paragraph which in earlier ver-
sons appeared to imply that Germany
and Austria would mot allow con-
tinued munitions shipments to the
allies, read as follows:
"According to all the authorities on
international law who have especially
dealt with the questions which here
arise, the neutral government is not
permitted to allow unhindered trade
in contraband Of war if this trade
assumes such character and propor-
tons that the country's neutrality IS
impaired. "

prevented Field Marshal Won Hirden-
burg from throwing more of his troop
across the Narew; repusled German
attacks to the northwest of Warsaw
and driven back to the river some
of the invading troops who crossed
the Vistula to the south of Warsaw.
In the southeast. Field Marshal Won
Mackensen continues his victorious
advance. He has swept aside the re-
sistance of the Russians and forced
them to retreat along both banks of
the Bug. The Germans have already
passed through Chelm in pursuit.
Thus. on this front, the retirement Of
the Warsaw armies is seriously
threatened. During the month Of July
Berlin says, the Germans captured
more than $4,000 Russians between
the Pilica River and the Baltic alone.
The Russians, according to Pet
rograd, have stopped General Won
Buelow's advance in Kovno Province
toward the Vilna-Petrograd railway
If Grand Duke Nicholas is to hold
the Brest line after his retirement
from Warsaw, it is absolutely neces-
sary that General Buelow's offensive
should be arrested, for should he
reach the railway he would seriously
interfere with the Russian communi-
cations.
