NEW YORK RUNS DRY
OF IMPORTED BEER
Light Brew From. Holland Is Be-
ing Used in the Larger Ho-
tells There. .,... ,,

EEW YORK, Aug. 22.-when a man
ssks for glass of imported beer In
the average hotel or cafe nowadays
the waiter will almost invariably re-
ply: We have none. SIR" For that
beverage is practically non-ex,s,enr in
New York. Pilsner. Wurzpurger.
Muenchner and the other well-known
Hrands Of beer that used to come from
Germany and Austria In enormous
quantities before the war broke out arc
now impossible to get, for the simple
reason that the Atlantic ocean Is q
closed route to the German ships. -
The beer drought was foreseen by
some Of the biggest importers and also
by the managers Of the large hotels in
this city a year ago, and efforts were
made by them to do their best to over
come 1t. The owner Of one of the big
gest hotels in town managed early
after the war broke out. to lay in an
unusually big stock of imported beer
that he gathered up from all sorts Of
sources, and yet that hostelry will be
as dry Of beer within the next two
months as any of its neighbors around
town.
One Of the big clubs in Fifth avenue
that had a goodly supply OK the I'm
ported beer last fall tries to conserve
it's supply by serving the beverage In
the dining room only, much to the dis
tress Of the button-pushing members In
the cafe and smoking room. And there
is no relief for this drought until the
war ends or Germany forces an open
door, for its ships on the sea.
In Luchow's, in Fourteenth street,
the manager said they received their
last shipment of Wurzburger in
March, and they had practically none
Of it left. Luchow's in recent years has
imported as much as $4,000 half-barrels
a year, these running thirty-four GAL
Ions each. And now they are getting
none.
Rudolph Oelsner who is the largest
I'VE are not getting a gallon of beer
from abroad. whereas in 1s12-the ban
rer beer import year in the United
States-303, 999 half-barrels were brought
into this country We are doing no
business. for we can't get any beer to
sell.'
AS a substitute for German and Aus
trian beers Luchow's and Oelsner are
trying to introduce into this country
beer made in Holland that Is offered
as a substitute for Pilsner. This Dutch
beer IS lig.t. and Is said to resemble
Pilsner iH many OF its essential quail
ties. In view OF the fact that there Is
always a demand for imported beer.
no matter how good the domestic
brews are. they hope the Holland beer
will gradually be accepted as a sub
stitute for the standard brews that
used to be so plentiful before war
turned New York int a dry town."
so far as imported beer is concerned.
