Beer Problem in Germany

German beer connoisseurs- embrace large proportion of the peo
 pie of Germany are now unable to se- cure their favorite variety of the bev- craze, as the breweries have in most instances adopted the plan of brew ing single kind of beer, in order to conserve their limited supplies of bar ley and malt and obtain the maximum amount of the beverage. This war beer" is very indifferent in taste as compared with the fine brews of Bavaria and Wurttemberg before the war. But that is not the worst of the situation. The increasing demands of the soldiers render it likely that the kaiser's civilian subjects may soon have to be content with strictly limited quantities of their favorite beverage, ana, If the war continues long time, there is the terrible possibility that civilians may have to do without their peer altogether. The beer for the soldiers is brewed principally in Bavaria and Alsace-Lorraine, and the breweries of that part of the empire have been given the larger allotment Of barley and malt. In Wurttemberg and other German states the breweries
 have been allotted only a little more than a, third as much barley and malt as they used before the war. Owing to the shortage in the necessary in- gradients, a number of breweries have been forced to close down. The short age of beer has hit the Germans hard CT than the limitation of the food SUD- ply, and "beer insurrection" is among the possibilities of the future
 The German soldiers have been kept well supplied with the Teutons favor ite beverage; and have little to com plain of on that score.
