This exceeds by 100000 gallons the
record of the next highest year, 1913.
Part of these heavy receipts is ao.
counted for, however, by heavy with
drawals from bonded warehouses in
the face Of the 100 percent increase In
taxes contemplated in the war revenue
bill More than $4,000, 900 increase In
April is attributed to this cause. With
drawals have not been SO heavy since
April.
Revenue from beer is about $94 ,000,.
900, little less than the record of
1914, when approximately $4,000, 900
barrels--taxable at $3.50 per Dbl. were
consumed. 1t is expected that when
the fiscal year closes June 80, the 1914
record will have been surpassed.
Tobacco yielded more than 500, ,O0O,-
coo revenue this year. The nearest
approach TO this figure was last years
revenue of approximately ssS,00O, 900.
A large part of the fifteen percent in.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-High tide
of whisky and beer revenue receipts
and presumably consumption-in the
United States was reached during the
fiscal year now closing. The cigaret
smokers of the nation, figures show,
also smoked more than they have ever
smoked before.
Ordinary internal revenue receipts,
composed chiefly Of taxes on whisky,
beer and tobacco, we're $424,327, ,463 so
far this year compared with $685., 5,126,-
544 last year. Gauged by revenue re-
ceipts the present year probably will
go down in history as the banner year
of the liquor traffic.
Revenue collected on whisky thus
far in the fiscal year is approximately
SITS, 100000, record for any year, al
though the current fiscal year still
has II days. Ordinary receipts still
are pouring in, more than $1,000,000 a
day At the tax rate of $1.10 per gal
Ion, these figures mean that taxes have

is KAISER'S COUSIN

Richmond is the home of a rela-
tive of Kaiser Wilhelm, of Ger
many. Charles Eloff, s07 South
Ninth street. an employe Of the
Starr Piano company. claims he is
a relative Of Kaiser Bill, but that
the relationship is somewhat
strained.
This fact was discovered today
by members of the Red Cross so
liciting force who called on his
daughter, Mrs e. c. Conner, 621
North Ninth street. Eloff, accord
ing to Mrs. Conner, had much trou-
BILE while in Germany through his
relationship with Wilhelm and this
had much to do with his coming to
this country.
my father has no love for Ger
many or the KAISER" Mrs. Conner
told q reporter today. II don't
knot how we stand with the Kais-
er. but I guess it's not very high"
Mrs. Conner told the Red Cross
solicitors she was willing to do her
part in the Red Cross work Of this
country.

FOOD GAMBLERS
ROB PEOPLE OF
QUARTER BILLION
Herbert Hoover Tells Sena-
tors Toll is $5o,OOo,O0O a
Month.

WASHINGTON, June 10. = Fooe
spectators have been taking $4,000,
900 month for the last five months
total of quarter Of a billion dollars
from the American people, Herbert
C. Hoover, today told the senators, in
explaining the purposes Of the food
control bill now before Congress.
Hoover, president Wilson's food ad-
ministrator, went to the capitol today
by invitation to explain personally to
senators the governments food control
bill under consideration In both houses
Of congress.
He attended an informal conference
In the senate agricultural room, ar
ranged by administration leaders in
the hope OF removing senatorial oppo-
sition to the legislation.
Gore Speaks Up
Senator. Gore ask Mr.. Hoover II he
would deny to the farmer the right to
Judge the amount of crops he should
grow.
IF the government guarantees a
minimum price," Mr. Hoover replied,
I'VE might not get the beneficial re-

have the power to limit imports"
Mr.. Hoover said. Possibly the bill
should be amended to give farmers
the right to determine their own pro-
ducticns"
we don't propose to 90 to the ex-
tent of fixing rations," Mr.. Hoover
added, except as to hotels, restau-
rants. etc, regarding the amount OF
bread portion to be served and the
like. England did a foolish thing in
trying to fix maximum prices, fail
ure wherever tried"
Kenyon Wants to Know
do you contend that under the bill
you can say to Senator Reed, for in
stance, that he shall eat soup bone
or steak on certain days" asked
Senator Kenyon.
Il don't think we hive any such
right nor should we have It, Mr.. Hoo
yer replied emphatically. But we
should have the right to suggest the
use of soup bone a day and see if we
can reach any agreement voluntarily.
Senator Reed insisted that legisla.:
ton is not needed to affect such vol
untary arrangements, but Mr.. Hoover
said law should authorize the food
administration to this end.

about two o'clock this morning when
two demonstrators were arrested and
charged with breaking in the postof-

police later dispersed several march

Young Men Eager to Serve Nation
Far Away From Shrieking Shells

/, The ways Of the Stacker are many
and various.
Since the plan for selective con-
scription became generally known,
and the probable conditions Of exemp-
ton, government officials have noticed
a startling increase in the inquiries
made about certain branches Of gov
ernmcnt service under civil service.
Many young men, some of whom
have seen the country only from a
car window, have signified their inten-
tion Of helping the government out in
the harvest fields of Oklahoma and
Kansas-providing their fare Is paid,

Work in the navy yards and other
branches Of government industrial
service also is popular Fare paid is
usually demanded for these jobs.
Clerkships in Washington, work un-
der government authority in the in
land cities, as members Of forces do
ing the work Of selective conscription,
also are popular.
Much of this is prompted by an
honest desire to help the government,
the ohcials in Richmond think, but
they also believe that much Of it is
not.

A majority of the German papers
treat the news of the situation with the

the crisis may be overcome by grant
