BREWERYTO INVESTIGATE
Might Make Alcohol; One Plant Rejects Idea

Already the former brewery Is
turning out several new bever-
ages. One OF them is new
sparkling apple juice which will
not ferment.
Another. not yet on the mar
ket In Tacoma, Is birch beer, made
from the sap of birch trees.
I'VE will be running full blast
again in the spring" said Secre-
tary Krummel. And we believe
that we will do just as well at
the manufacture of soft drinks as
we did in making beer"
VIII Investigate.
The huge plant of the Pacific
Brewing & Mailing Co. is stand
ing idle. several towers OF brick
valued at 100000, which are
going into decay.
William Virges, head of the
great brewery, was confident that
thep eople would approve bill "a
which he initiated this year. and
which would have permitted brew
cries to resume the manufacture
of beer.
Since the election he has done
little but pay campaign bills.
I'VE are employing only six or
seven men," said Secretary Der
rickson, lust enough to get out
16,OOO-ton order of malt for
the Fleishmann Yeast Co. And
of course we are making malt
for our brewery in San Francisco
But the yeast contract will be
completed Jan. |, and we have
made no plans beyond that.
Henry Ford's idea of making
denatured alcohol sounds plaus-
ible. The only possible stumbling
block for us might be the lack
of raw material. We will inves-
tigate the question at once"

THAT i-AWLEss LIMA MOB.

With Georgia held up as an exam pie where lynch law Is permitted to have its unobstructed sway, the action of that body of citizens in Lima, O. seems to indicate that that state is not the only one where there needs to be tnstilled into the public the need of greater respect for law and order.
 That the people of Lima were greatly moved by the crime that was committed by a Negro can be be- lieved, but the guilty party was under arrest and there were reasons to be- lieve that he would be made to suffer the full penalty of the law and in a lawful manner. There was little or no excuse for the commission of any ad- ditional crimes, and 1t was a deplorable spectacle which they presented when they storned the jail, rnanhandled one of the women of the household, so frightened a sick child of the sheriff that she died from the effects of it. pursued and tortured the sheriff, dur ing which treatment he deceived a broken arm, broken ribs and innum- erable injuries and did their utmost to get hold of the prisoner. All credit is due the county official for the man. ner in which he frustrated the object of the mob and prevented a 1ynching
 but the intention of that body of citi- zens was nevertheless manifested and had not the arm of the law been true to his obligations the purpose would have been accomplished.
 It is not sufficient that the Iynching was prevented. Those who were re- sponsible for the demonstration de- serve to be brought to the bar of justice and fttingly punished and Ohio will be rerniss in it's duty unless it meets the situation. Not only the city and county in which it occurred but the state should be so aroused that there will be no repetition of the acts If barbaritv

TOO VALUABLE TO ABANDON.

Though it has been declared in some reports that the Memphis, formerly the Tennessee, which was driven onto the rocks in Santo Domingo harbor by a tidal wave is an old vessel and of an obsolete type, it could hardly be believed that there would be no effort made to get the warship away from its position and return it to service. g The Memphis was built @ dozen years ago and it is probable that new armored cruisers would not be con- structed along it's lines but 1t is ap- parent nevertheless that it was a val uable ship and had been called upon for much service during the past two years. Warships are not to be had For the asking. They cost a smal. Fortune and the prfce is constantly H6vancing so regardless of the re- eponsibiiity for the unfortunate dis aster which will be placed where it belongs by a proper board of inquiry, the statement which is now made that an attempt will be made to float the ship is only what was to be expected.
 Twelve years may be sufficient to put a certain type of vessel out of style but it does not necessarily de- stroy its servicability and 1t would be grossenegligence to abondon the Mem phis without fully ascertaining the extent, of damage and the possibility of restoring it. to use, especially when it is realized that it was a more for. midable fighting ship than many which have taken spart in the Euro pean war; It should not be abandoned rnlesstit is absolutely worthless.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
He Should Come Back.

Mir Editor: I hope Earl Wood has
 not become discouraged because The
 Bulletin refused to let him belle the
 press. He is an interesting writer, and if have not agreed with him al ways I have found his letters instruc- tive.
 I hope he is not of those who think the truth can only come from Berlin The fact that every fighting nation has a censor and will not let any one freely write the truth or ex- press their opinions in their own press of neutral nations, it seems as if upon this score they stand upon
 equal footing. The leading papers of this country have representatives in all the fields of active service where they are permitted to witness military operations.
 England is not censoring despatch es for the French, but each nation is busy suppressing whatever the mili- tary authorities do not care to have known We all know the truth is withheld, and that misrepresentation can be traced to no special source. The spir it of war does not welcome the spirit of truth unless it brightens prospects for it.
 There is no wonder there is great variety of opinions upon the cause of the war and the culpability of the different rulers. Three volumes have been made Of the indfceS of books written upon the war during the first year and a half. and they have named ten thousand books and pamphlets and the prospect issthat before peace dawns the books printed upon the war will outnumber the volumes in Otis library.
 Earl Wood seems to be man of sense if not breadth; but if he win read carefully all sides and decide for l himself what is true and what un- true, as every American should for himself he will broaden out Potentates do not believe in den1oc- racy and have no home use for Amer can citizens who believe in the sov- ereignty of the individual. They may invite their sympathy and prompt them to crininality here but they will l imprison and deport them if they talk repubIicanism abroad

AVERTING THE STRIKE.

|. No piece of legislation upon which congress has been asked to act is of more vital importance than that which concerns the threatened railroad strike. Indications point to the passage of the Adamson bill drafted for the pur- pose of forcing an eight hour law on the railroads of the country with pro rata pay for overtime and the appoint ment of a commission to investigate the effects of the Institution of an eight hour day upon the common car riers of the country, which must com- plete it's report within nine months.
 This means the carrying out of an emergency program in accordance with the stand which the president took in his effort to adjust the trouble before resorting to legislative action. It turns down arbitration and 1t pro- vides no asslrance Of permission be- ing given to the roads to increase their rates sufficiently to meet the large increases that will result in the pay roll. It means the establishment of an eight hour day and the fixing of the rate of wages for certain class of the workingmen of the country of whom large number are among the best paid men in the country.
 That it will have the effect of avert ing the strike seems probable but it raises many questions which indicate that it will not mean the end of the issue as is to be gathered from the claim that such action will prove to be unconstitutional. The necessity of immediate action is apparently de- priving the matter of the careful de- liberation which it deserves.

DEVELOPING RESOURCES.

This country is not the only one which is learning the importance of
 independence of foreign productions as
 the result of the war. even though it is making less progress to overcome the deficiency than others.
 The importance of preparedness through a development of natural re- sources which have remained un- touched as long as 1t was possible to obtain the material from others, as well as the encouragement of indus trial activity. has been impressed upon
 the countries of Europe a great deal more strongly than here and 1t is to be noted that they are profiting by the disclosure.
 Germany has been reaping great benefits from the coal and iron mines of France which were captured early
 in the war. It has liSewise turned to the mineral deposits of it's allies while experiments have been underway ever since war was declared to turn to ac- count material which was available to replace that which could not be ob- tained.
 In the same way Russia is looking to the development of it's resources
 Known as one of the riches in min eral wealth, a great part of which is
 undeveloped because of a lack of railroad facilities, that country is
 turning its attention in this direction
 in a manner which is bound to have a most important effect upon it's future.
 The same is true of the opening of
 new ports by the building of new rail-
 way lines. All of this means that Russia. is not only going to be better prepared than ever in such directions in the future but it is going to have a tremendous effect upon it's trade fol- lowing the war.

main concerning the act of the under water boat.
 It is entirely possible that there he's been a complete reformation in the submarine activities of thye German navy. and it Is to be sincereiy hoped that there has, but it cannot be forgotten that in the case of the Nebraskan and later in that of the Sussex 1t was insisted by Germany that there were no German submarines in such localities and that its vessels were not responsible. Proof was ob- tainable to the contrary however through the fortunate finding of pieces of the torpedoes which had been thrown onto the decks of the vessels and 1t was after these had been shown to be of German manufacture that admissions were made. It is entirely possible that such is the situation in this case though what virtually amounts to a disavowal may end the matter.

NORWICH, THE EvER-GENERoUs

CWritten Specially for The Builettn.)
 The benevolent work of the women 'in and about Norwich during the past season, in preparing and forwarding supplies to the Red Cross and for other forms of war relief, and the constant contributions toward the suffering in different parts of war-torn Europe. is quite in line with the generous aid furnished readily in the Norwich of earlier times.
 In the beginning of the seven years war for liberty, the towns quota of soldiers was not only quickly raised but the necessary supplies were al- ways furnished with promptness and liberality.
 The acquisitions of the Governor were responded to from no quarter with more cheerfulness and a1acrity the historians show
 In September, 1777, when extraor- dinary exerticns were being made in many parts of New England to pro- cure tents, canteens and clothing for the army, many householders in Nor wich voluntarily gave up to the com mittee of the town all that they could spare from their own family stock, either as donations, or where that could not be afforded, at a very low rate. The clergymen of all the churches. on Thanksgiving Day. ex- horted the townSpeople to remember the poor soldiers and their families.
 Every year while the war continued, persons were appointed by the town to provide for the soldiers and their families at the towns eypense-but much also was raised by voluntary contributions. The following items from newspapers of that time furnish good examples of local liberality:

ence like a huckster-is always at your service.
 Fort Trunabuli near New London was for generations regarded as a formidable defense, but in 1916 what was strength and 8 dependable de- fense has become weakness. We gaze upon this obsolete pile Of bricks and mortar and ask what would this fort amount to if 1600 smells were dropped upon and around it in two minutes This is the highest German record for shell throwing. For defense now 1t is of no more account than the hole in a douehnut. It is really a menace to defenders. Military operations are now being conducted underground and under water and from war balloons three miles above the earth. The game Of war has come to include the slaughter of non com batants to pre- vent their becoming coulbatants The cl1ivalry and honor and human ity of the past has given way to the spirit of savagerv that marked the ages which preceded civilization: and out of what appears to be a backward rush and degeneration may come the peace which the sons of men have prayed for and never yet obtained.
