200 LIQUOR SELLERS
QUIT THE BUSINESS
Multiplicity of Taxes and Increased Cost
of Wet Goods Force New York
Dealers to the Wall.

New York, Oct 3.--Unable to cope
with the multiplicity of federal and
state taxes and the increased cost OF all
intoxicants, 1000 saloons and retail liq-
uor stores in greater New York have
closed their doors, according TO estimates
made yesterday by excise officials When
the license fee of 81 800 which must be
paid in advance, became due Monday,
hundreds OF places failed to open their
doors. In smaller cities the operation
of the new state law, providing that
after Sept. 80 there could be only one
saloon to every 500 inhabitants in po-
litical sub divisions having less than
$1,000 population, will result in closing
more than 800 saloons in the state this
month. If the present situation contin-
ues it is predicted 5000 saloons in the
state will have to close their doors in
the next six months.

e. S. TO BUILD HUGE
BASE nv FRENCH PORT
1t Is Proposed to Use Portable Houses
to Store American Sup
plies,

Washington, Oct 3.--The American
government will construct an overseas
base in France far bigger than any OF
the national environment cities in this
country.
Buildings of the portable type will be
fitted in this country and sent across in
sections. Structures for housing troops,
giant storehouses for reserve ammuni-
ton and equipment, a complete railway
shop, an arsenal and big salvage depot
will be built 'at a French port.
A big railway terminal is necessary
and enormous wharyes already have been
built.
In addition to the big general base, the
war department proposes to scatter in
termediate bases between the seaport
and the American sector on the western
front.
Special service battalions of the en-
gineer corps, recently organized, will put
together the portable structures which

Fifty Thousand Germans
Demand It at a Dem
onstration
MONSTER MEETING
HELD AT FRANKFORT
Was Supported BY the Cler-
ical and Radical
Leaders

London, Oct 3.-The demand for peace
grows more insistent every day in Ger
many. Copenhagen reports that mon
ster demonstration attended by $4,000
persons was held at Frankfort on-the-
Main on Sunday, and that peace on the
basis of no annexations was approved.
The meeting had the support of several
Clerical and Radical leaders. Vorwaerts,
the German Socialist organ, is allowed
to print story that the chancellor will
make known his governments attitude
toward Belgium when it becomes appar-
ent that the status of the country the
Germans invaded and devastated, is the
only obstacle to peace. Italy, like France,
is being subjected by German agents and
propagandists to a peace bombardment.
This has brought about q nationwide
campaign for patriotic organizations
against these insidious peace efforts of
Teuton peace workers. The Paris Temps
has word of praise for President Will
sons foresight in naming a peace mis-
sion under Colonel House, to study the
situation and prepare data for the ulti
mate conference.

GETS IMPORTANT WORK.
Edward T. Devine to Have Charge of
Relief Work About Paris.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The appoint
ment of Edward I. Devine, professor
of social economies at Columbia unver
sity in New York and one of the lead
ing social workers of the United States
of refugees and home relief, under the
American Red Cross commission to
France, is announced to-day A cable
| Just received by the Red Cross war coun-
ell in Washington from Major Grayson
NJ. p. Murphy, head of the commission
reports that DR.. Devine is to be in
charge of all relief work outside the
city of Paris. The cable is as follows:
I'm the various departments outside
the Seine there are some $4,000 refu-
gees embracing all classes and ages ex-
cept able bodied men. Although en-
ployment at good wages is general, these
refugees are nevertheless in an unfortu-
nate condition because of the complete
loss of their possessions when driven
out of the invaded territory. They
have since been living in excessively con-
gested quarters and, necessarily, under
very unsanitary conditions.
'The Red Cross hopes TO aid the au-
thorities to lessen this congestion by
supplying furniture TO those who in this
way could move into better quarters, by
completing buildings already partly con-
structed, and even by furnishing porta-
bic houses of cheap construction, when
necessary, as temporary makeshift.
1T is proposed to establish, in con-
neetion with the French authorities,
health centers from which useful work
can be done in such way as fully 10

ence of those who accept it. There are
many voluntary agencies, as well as
public relief authorities, through whom
the Red Cross can give assistance
Or Devine's immediate task will be
to coordinate those agencies and ar
range for constructive relief for those |
victims of the war who cannot vet be |

is hoped that there will be abundant /

BREAD PRICE MUST DROP
Food Administration Determined to Bring
About Lower Figures.

Washington, Oct. 3.--The end of tn,
book on bread prices has not been writ
ten by the Hoover food administration
| by any means
1t was learned yesterday that there is
good reason to expect the food admin.
istration will succeed in lowering mate
| rally the price of the loaf Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover is working to that
end. In a few days the federal trade
commission will make report on the
cost of production of bread and if these
figures justify lower prices of bread. as
there is substantial reason to believe
they will, the food administration viii
SO advise the country and do all it can
to force such prices lower, 1t is known
Mr. Hoover has his mind set on accom-
plishing this.
The big bakers Of the country so far
have worked against lowering of bread
prices. Some who have assumed to help
the food administration, evidently have
been keeping an eye out against any
curtailment of profits for the bakers.
The little bakers have been found more
amenable than the big ones
That the Hoover food administration
has reached the point where it is not GO
ing to depend for advice and counsel on
the big bakers is known The return of
the five-cent loaf is not in sight in this
country, but the indications are that, in
the first place, the food administration
will seek to lower present prices and
that some of the concerns that produce
and handle bread are going TO be con-
tent with small margins of profit and so
help the situation perceptibly.

Union Printers Bought SI,2Is,ooo Liber-
ty Bonds.

Through its executive council, the In
ternational union was one of the first
trade unions to subscribe for the first
issue of Liberty bonds. In the ailot-
ment of these bonds the International
Typographical unions subscription was
cut from $4,000 to $4,000. Subordinate
local typographical unions subscribed to
the amount of S54,s50, while the sub
scriptions of individual members and the
purchases made through chapel organiza-
tons amount to 81 10000, bringing the
total subscriptions made by members
of the International Typographical I'M
ion up to Sl,2l5,0O0. In order that the
organization may obtain bonds to the
full extent of its subscription on the
second Liberty Loan, the executive coun-
ell of the International Typographical
union contemplates dividing its second
subscription between a number of cities.

RAPID GROWTH OF THE BIRTH
REGISTRATION AREA

Washington, d. G., September 12-
Congratulations to Maryland, Vir-
ginia, and Kentucky, the latest states
to be admitted to the Registration
Area for Births by the Director Of
the Census, Sam l.. Rogers.
The Registration Area for Births
was established in 1915 and was then
composed of ten states and the Dis
trict Of Columbia representing 10
per cent of the territorial extent OF
the United States but containing 81
per cent Of the countrys population.
For this area the Bureau of the Gen.
sus has recently issued its first an
nual report, entitled Birth Statis-
tics" AS the area grows the annual
reports will deal with the births in
a constantly increasing portion of the
country and will, therefore, become
of constantly increasing interest and
value.
The outlook for very rapid
growth of this Registration Area for
Births is so good that a word of cheer
to the states outside should be given.
The need Of complete birth registra-
ton is recognized now as never be-
fore. The age of the soldier must be
known, and so new argument for
birth registration comes to the Unit
ed States. Since war was declared
tests of the completeness of birth reg
tratiOn have been made by special
agents of the Census Bureau in Vir-
GINA and Kentucky. and both these
states secured rating of over 80 per
cent, which represents the degree of
completeness required for admission
to the area.
Similar tests are now being made
in Indiana and New Jersey, and be-
fore the year is over will be conduct
ed in North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, and
Wisconsin. Several other states are
nearly ready to seek admission, and it
is by no means wild prediction that
the Birth Registration Area within
the next two years will be more than
trebled in size and will contain oyer
two-thirds of the population of the
United States.
One physician recently became so
thoroughly aroused to the desirability
Of recording births that he reported
to the local registrar $50 births which
had occurred in his practice since l.
900. $500 '''''.'''''
Parents and physicians everywhere
are awakening to the Importance of
this matter and the fashion now is to
register baby's birth.
