H0ch! Germans Without Beer.

Berlin Correspondence of The AS
ISOLATED Press. War, which has
worked SO many changes in the daily
habits of the Germans, has now con-
spired with war weather to induce the
Germans to drink soft drinks Bot
ties of lemon sour, ginger ale, cream
soda and other beverages included I'M
der the generic name of pop" in the
United States are beginning to make
their appearance on shelves and bars
formerly devoted to beer, and the peo-
pie are drinking them, not from choice,
but because they have to.
1t is no longer possible to make
enough beer to meet even fairly mod
est demands of the reduced home pop
ulation. The majority of the larger
beer gardens will not be opened at all
this summer, and for some weeks it
has been no unusual thing to find some
of Berlin's biggest restaurants and
beer halls without drop of beer early
in the evening of warm days. The sale
of beer to households in containers
charged with carbonic acid gas has
been discontinued, and only favored
old customers can still get bottled
beer.
Bavaria, the greatest beer-drinking
country of the world, where many a
solid citizen normally drinks one to
two gallons daily, and where the great
beer halls are filled at almost all hours
of the day, is in a still worse plight
The time in which beer may be sold
has been steadily shortened, and now
there has come an order permitting
saloons, beer halls, etc, to sell beer
only from 10 to u, to and after 9
o'clock at night Exceptions are made
in the case of beer dispensed in fac
tories to their workers, and by farm
ers to their help. No beer whatever
may be sold locally until after the
wants of the Bavarian soldiers have
been supplied.
The scarcity is, Of course, due to the
fact that the empire has had to limit
strictly the amount of barley which
can be turned into malt. This amount
has been fixed at so per cent of the
normal amount, but brewers inter
viewed by The Associated Press cor
respondent said they were not able to
obtain even this amount. An unfore-
seen inroad has further been made in
to the available amount of barley by
the fact that the shortage of coffee has
required the roasting of great quaint,
ties Of barley as substitute
The government has granted the
brewers permission to malt in the sec
ond (currenD quarter of the year the
full quota of barley allowed them for
the third quarter. This will rob hot
summer days of some of their terror,
but even at best, the supply will be ut
terly inadequate.

ARMY Av|ATORS .
ARE EARLY BIRDS
Americans With French in European
War Fields Called "Nightingales"
By Troopers.

Headquarters of an aviation group
Behind the French front, May 49,
Correspondence Of The Associated
Press THE aviator is an early bird
and here, where the nightingale
abounds, it is close race between
them to bed at dusk and to the fields
at dawn.
The nightingales were rioting in
song this morning when the pilots of
the Franco-American flying corps
were making their way to the aviation
camp and daylight had just peeped
over the horizon when Captain H,
commander of the group, ordered !:
Bring out the machines"
There was nothing new in this to the
seven American pilots who have been
flying in different groups on different
parts of the front for upwards of a
year. All of them had been out with
the nightingale few hundred morn
ings, but it announced their first expe-
ditlon together as separate unit of
the French aviation corps over Ger
man territory.
Long -planed machines resembling
small sheds, and short winger ma
chimes which in comparison dwindled
to the proportions of devil flies, rolled
on the field and were pushed on the
run to their places until IS were lined
up. captain - gazed at the low
lying clouds-eXcellent mask for a
f1otilla crossing the enemy's lines-and
ordered: Tell the Americans to be
ready The Americans, grouped be-
hind their swift chasers, listened to
hnal instructions from Captain T,
who commands the Franco American
fotilla and is proud Of it. The din was
then too great for verbal orders to be
heard, and soldier with a white sig
nal flag ran into the field while pilots
and machine gunners leaped to their
seats. The flag dropped and Captain
H-s big biplane rose to lead the
column. The flag was raised and
dropped at intervals of about thirty
seconds, and each time a pair of the
bigger machines followed until 10 of
them were filing toward the German
lines.
Ht biS uldCHlUeS were gone but the
noise Increased as the propellers of
the smaller but more powerful and
swifter biplanes were set in motion.
1t was time for the Americans
specialists in speed. The first big plane
was approaching the clouds when,
with a bound, Captain Tt rose

These little biplanes with powerful

of aviation during the war-built to
match the best German machines in

Burton without Arousing Any of
the Occupants of the House.
SECURE SMALL SUM OF MONEY
Get Money from Pockets of Owners
Clothes, But Fail to Secure Any
from Trousers of His Sons.

Burglars helped themselves to all
available cash while Albert Burton
and family reposed in the arms of
Morpheus at their home 2S10 Fifth and
half avenue, last night
Not a member of the family was
aroused from slumber while the Prov
lers operated. The intruders gained
entrance by clambering through rear
window of the home into the bedroom
occupied by Mr. Burton. They secured
his trousers and emptied the pockets
of all cash Mr. Burton told police to-
day that they took $3.50.
The burglars then went to the sec
ond floor of the residence, where they
secured the trousers of Mr.. Burton S
two sons. Not caring to take any
chances at being caught they did not
wait to search the pockets while in the
house, but left with the trousers. They
found nothing in them and hung them
over the fence in the alley back of the
Burton residence
The burglary was not discovered I'M
til Mr.. Burton awakened this morn
ing. He found the money gone His
sons arose and found that their trous-
ers were missing. Later these were
found on the fence where the burglars
had left them.
The case was reported to the police
and officers were searching the city to-
day for suspects. None was arrested,
however.

People Should Decide
Liquor Question Says
Governor Brumbaugh

Claiming that the people should be
given the right to decide the local OPP
ton question, and that each man
should consider himself a self-ap-
pointed officer of the law. Governor
Martin G. Brumbaugh gave force
full address on The Duty in This
Life" at n Baptist rally held in the
First Baptist Church last night.
Governor Brumbaugh warned the
parents in his audience of more than
500, that children who formed habits
early in life usually did not change
them, and that the fathers and moth
ers, cooperating with the public
schools were responsible for the pro-
per education of the child.
The rally was held under the au-
spices of the Baptist Young Peoples
Union of this city and Steelton.

Insurance Man Given
Hearing by Johnson

\ hearing was held yesterday before
insurance Commissioner Johnson on
charges brought by the Central Penn
Nylvania Life Underwriters Association
against A. c. Mead, manager of the
eastern division of the Royal Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company. 1t
was alleged that Mr.. Mead misrepre-
Sented a special policy to j. NJ. Bren-
ner, a clothing merchant of South
Fourth street, and it was brought out
during the hearing that the appli-
cation had been raised after 1t had
been signed from 5000 to 10000.
However, the vice president of the
Royal Union company, who was a wit
ness testified that this was permissible
from the Company's standpoint and
absolved Mead of blame in this re-
spect.
The underwriters produced Brenner
as his own witness. who testified that
ne had been led to believe he would
receive in return for the insurance
fees specified a sum much larger than
the face of the policy really called for.
Philip Shulman, a clerk in the Bren-
ner store, and Miss Marie Hatfield
were called to corroborate what Bren-
ner said. There was present man,
said 10 have been an outside agent,
brought here to endeavor to catch
members of the underwriters asso-
citation in similar practices, but al
though he made an investigation, it
IL said, he was not called.
The underwriters were represented
by George Ross Hull as attorney and
the defendant by Senator Beidleman.
The Insurance Commissioner held the
case under advisement

Will Cooperate With State
Highway Department; to
Obtain Cheaper Insurance

State Threshermen to-day in con-
vention decided to cooperate with the
State Highway Department in prose-
cutting threshermen who fail to COM
ply with the provisions of the SpangIer
law governing the use of traction en-
Gines which was passed with the as
sociation's endorsement by the last
Legislature.
The question of lower insurance
was referred to the legislative and
executive committee.
Lower Insurance
Albert l.. Allen, assistant manager
of the State fund, announced that hG
investigated the contention of the
threshermen and that the insurance
rate prescribed for them is too high
in comparison with the risks entailed
to their employees, and had been con-
vinced that the threshermens protest
is we'll founded.
Mr.. Allen announced that In
surance Commissioner Johnson has
tentatively agreed to recommend to
the classification committee operating
under the Compensation Law, that
the rate be lowered. Mr.. Allen said
he hoped to be able to announce q
reduction of the rate at an early date.
1t Is now said to be practically GER
tain that If this reduction is granted
the association will adopt the State
fund plan of insurance instead of
forming mutual association as was
proposed.
Jacob a. Rose, secretary treasurer
of the association, reported balance
of $1,000 in the treasury, which puts
the organization in an excellent
financial condition.
L. A. Hardin, of the Russell Wind
Stacker Company and f. c. l.. Bar
low, treasurer of the Huber Manu-
featuring Company, of Marion, Ohio,
spoke from the manufacturers view
point at the morning session. O. r.

Following reports of committees

talks, officers were elected and in
