WHISKEY MAKING
TO STOP SEPT. 8
Ban On It's Manufacture Effect
i've That Date.

Not another drop of whiskey will be
manufactured in the United States
after II O'Clock on the night of Septem-
Der s. All other distilled spirits for use
as beverages will cease to be manufac-
tured at the same time.
This ruling was made Thursday by
the food administration at Washington
after it had been bombardee for several
days with a ceaseless flow of kilograms
from distillers asking for specific infor-
nation. The food control law provided
that the manufacturer should continue
30 days after approval of the measure.
The bill was approved August 10 and
consequently its provision would go in
to effect midnight, September 9. This
being Sunday and as the internal rev.
enue law prevents operation of dis
tilleries on the Sabbath question was
raised in the minds of the distillers.
The imitation is placed in Sec. Is of
the food control law:
That from and after 30 days from
the date of the approval Of this act,
no foods, fruits, food materials or feeds
shall be used in the production of dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes"
The food administration has been in
formed that distilleries were planning
to continue manufacture up to the
minute that is to place the grains in
the watts and allow the process fermen-
tation to continue after the limit pre-
scribed by law.
The President has approved Edwin G.
Baetger, Baltimore, as food controller
for Maryland.

NAVY WANTS MEN
Several Thousand Short of Full
Strength.

Despite the fact that the operation
of the Selective Draft Law has con-
siderably diminished the number of
young men available, enlistments in
the Navy sfrom Maryland place this
State well up in the ranks of the East
ern Naval Division.
Lieutenant M. A. Leahy, Navy Re-
cruitlng Officer for the Maryland Dis
trict, is somewhat disappointed. how
ever, with the more recent results, and
believes the falling off in applicants is
due largely to the erroneous impression
that the Nays complement has been
filed. Lieutenant Leahy is anxious to
correct this impression.
There is still need of several thousand
more recruits before the Navy will be
completely filled to it's recently author
lied strength of $50, 600 men
The ratings in which men are needed
most urgently are apprentice seaman,
cooks, bakers and mess-attendants.
Full particulars of Navy eulistments
can be obtained from the nearest post
master; directly from the Navy Re
cruiting Station, Calvert and Lexington
Streets, Baltimore. or from the Navy

PRO" FOOTBALL LEAGUE
MAY Be ORGANIZED

The Ilan advanced for the forma-
;ion OF professional football league
next winter looks feasible and if some
OF the boosters Of the professional grid
game will put a shoulder to the wheel
ii appears that 4 strong league can be
formed which would make good with
4 cap Il.
The football season is short. and
there are thousands of deyotees Of the
game who do not get an opportunity
to see many big college games. Aside
from the big games played each sea
son. interest in the college game Is
largely confined TO students and alum
nj Of our colleges. And it must de-
pend on college riyalries alone to
make it pay.
But with a league composed of
eight or ten large cities, and made u.
OF eX-college and university stars, III
ter-city rivalries would spring up and
the lovers of sport who either do not
have the time TO spare, or who do not
lean so strongly toward college foot
ball. would sit up and take notice. III
addition to these fans. the college con-
tinsent would be interested, mainly
because Of the presence of eX-collegi'
ate stars in the line-ups of the teams.
There is one thing 10 be considered
in the formation of a national football
league which is vital This is the APP
portionment OF players to each club.
Some plan would have To be worked
out to prevent one city from signing
up the lions share Of the available
stars, for a well-balanCed league would
be necessary to keep up the interest.
1t might be found advisable TO limit
the territory from which each club
could forage for its players, or to
tart The first season with clubs made
IN OF players who reside in the indl-
vdual cities. Almost every large city
has host of eX-college stars aud
many good independent stars. who
would be more than willing to play
football The fact tina,
some OF the owners of major league
baseball clubs are interested in the
plan adds strength TO its chances OF
success

In view OF the eyasiye answer re.

tlcu.ar,y the United States.
Following closely upon the inspiring
speech OF Premier loyd-George the

optimism thruout the nation.
The view held here is that only
one thought now anirnates the Entente
powers in their mighty struggle. This
is the thought Of victory over mili.
tarism.
The Daily Graphic IN commenting
upon that part OF the note referring
20 the restitution OF territories, gives
