HELP! TEUTONS FACE A SHORTAGE OF BEER
Production Reduced 60 Per Cent to Cut Down Con-
 sumption of Barley

Berlin, July -(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Prospects Of beer shortage, and, as its natural resultant, another increase In prices Is giving concern to the authorities. or sometime, now, the beer produc- ton has been reduced to 50 per cent Of its former figures-for the purpose of cutting down the quantity of barley used. At the same time the breweries are required to set apart 20 per cent Of the old production figure for the army-with the result that Berlin has to subsist on 40 per cent of its onetime supply.
 Aside from the general public which either is getting less beer to drink than before, or is paying more for 1t, or both, the restaurant and cafe proprie- tors are the ones hardest hit. Even the raises in prices that have been ef- fective for months have not compen- sated for the material reduction in number of sales.
 As one means for aiding them it now is proposed to stop the sale of bottled beer in grocery and other stores that have other income sources, limit materially the bottled beer production. and permit the restaurants to handle all that Is produced. The sale of bot tied beer in municipal or government buildings. 1t is proposed to stop alto sether, as a further means of Tighten ing the load of the restauranteur.
 restriction of spurious liquors so severe that it amounts almost to a discontinuance of their sale is also pro- posed.

Black Sheen Needed

From the Army and Navy Journal.
 One of the difficulties to be met in the selection of natural mottled brown for cloth for the army is the shortage of black or brown sheep. In the experiments conducted in the quar- termaster corps under the direction of Brig. Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, it has de- veloped that 1t will require 70 per cent of brown or black wool to produce the desirable natural color for the cloth under consideration. A less proportion of dark wool would produce too light a color of cloth and would not meet the requirements of the army. In peace time, with the present strength of the regular army, there will be no short age of black wool, but In the event of war it would be necessary to use dyes In producing the cloth for the uni- form of a large army.
 To provide for this contingency Gen. eral Sharpe is now conducting investi- gations to determine whether a domes- tic dye can be secured for coloring cloth. Unless this can be done the po- sition of the war department will not be improved by adopting the new cloth. The European war has called the attention of the war department to .he fact that the present cloth for uni forms cannot be produced without the use of German dyestuffs. This fact Is responsible for the effort that is now being made to secure cloth that can be produced without the importation of any foreign material. Not until the cloth can be found which can be manu- factured without the use of such ma terial will there be any change in the uniform of the army.

What the Navy Saves Us

T ioiIl IOnuOn lll-B1tS.
 In the course of an article on "No Naval Battle-Why?" which appears In the "Fortnightly Review" MT. MT. Archibald Hurd says that the German fleet, which, during the past 15 years cost $500, 100000 to maintain, has com- pletely failed to fulfil any single one of the hopes on which it was based.
 Declaring that the British people would do well to be duly grateful for the blessings which have been theirs owing to naval predominance during the past three months, MT. Hurd says that in the absence of complete com pand of the sea the British people would have had to face the following weekly bill:
 Increase in the cost of food by 50 per cent. raising the outlay per head of the population from Ss to 12s a week, f9,000, 900.
 Decline in wages bill, about f2.ooo,- 900.
 Increase in cost of other necessities and luxuries, 100000
 Loss of shipping. f1,000,00o.
 Decling in national income from in- vestments. 2,000,000.
 Total loss per week, f16,000,000
 We thus reach the conclusion, adds Mir. Hurd. that during the past four months of war the navy has been pay ing dividends to the nation at the rate of f16, 100000 per week, without talk ing into account the fact that 1t has spared us moral and intellectual damages which are incalculable. Bat tie or no battle in the North sea- the people of the United Kingdom, not to mention the peoples of the far flung Dominions, have reason for satisfac- ton that during the years which pre- ceded war they turned a deaf ear to those who urged that the expenditure or the fleet should be reduced.

BUSHELMAN HURLS CHICKS TO FOURTH
 SUCCESSIVE WIN
Faering Barons Defeated by Five Two Score Final Battle at Russwood Park-Chicks' Fielding Aids in
 the Barons Downfall

Dermott. Bushelman then walked, Ellam pushing Coombs up to second. Andreen let a curve wiggle through his hands and l both Barons stepped up base. Danny Clark. who had been a source of worry to Chick pitchers during the entire series. sent a hot grounder which nursed the right field line until 1t bumped into the fence
 Coombs and Ellam scored and Clark halted at second on the drive, which was a clean double.
 Hale grounded to McDermott who ran Clark down between second and third
 Grimes sent a bounder to Busheman who gave it his regards with his finger tips. Hemingway recovered the ball and by the margin of about a toe threw Grimes out at first
 The Chicks used squeeze play to get a runner in from third both in the seventh and eighth rounds.
 With one out in the seventh Eibel walked and went to third on Baldwin's s single shot to right. Bushelman made beautiful bunt on a squeeze play and Elbel scored without any attempt by Grimes to throw him out at home. Allison ended the inning on an infleld death.
 McDermott set out on the eighth for the homelings by sticking a single into left field. Stewart followed with walk. showing Red to second. On an attempted sacrifice Hemingway beat out bunt down the third base line when no effort was made to throw him out at first.
 Grimes helped himself momentarily by striking Andreen out. On another squeeze play Cruthers bunted to Coylye and Me Dermott scored when Coyle threw Cruth- CTS out to Clark covering first. Eibel popped out to Lindsay and the Chicks had carved out four victories out of four sittings with the Barons.

JAMES IS READY ID
 PAY DEATH PENALTY
Young White Man to Hang at Cullman
 Today

New Decatur, August 5--(SpeciaI) ) Advised late today by Sheriff Rolo of Cullman county, that Governor Tender son had declined to commute his sen tence, George w. James, the young white man now confined In the Morgan county Jail, expressed his readiness to die tomorrow morning at Cullman for the murder of Enooh Clayburn. James had maintained his nerve with a stoic- Ism that was remarkable, and when he learned that his last hope of life was gone he did not break down, although his face blanched and he seemed stag gered by the realization that he had but a few hours more to live.
 News of the governors final decision in the case was received here at noon today by a local newspaper, but was withheld from the condemned man by Sheriff Forman, pending the arrival of Sheriff Rolo. Sheriff Forman stated that he did not feel that he should break the news to James, as the man was merely in his keeping Tonight James will be guarded in the jail here by the off cers of two counties, and tomorrow morning at o'clock will be placed on the train and carried to Cullman, where his execution Is set to take place immediately after his arrival
 Although he looks, older, James as- serts that he is only 19 years of age. He states that he married at the age of l5 years, has a wife and two children. He also has four brothers, two sisters, father and mother living
 During his long Incarceration here James has been model prisoner, and has never been denied the privileges of the corridor by Sheriff Forman No death watch has been kept over him for the past few days, a fact which he seemed to appreciate. In a signed state ment made today he thanked the officers for their courteous treatment, ending the statement with the words, May God bless you, is my prayer"
