history. comprising a documentary
record OF deeds that make one de-
spair of the future of the human
race" are found In a book named
German War Practices" which has
Just been issued at the Government

The dumbfounding evidence which
this book presents to the jury OF man
kind is drawn mainly from German
and American sources, and includes
official proclamations and utterances
Of the responsible heads of the Imper-
ial German government, letters and
diaries of German soldiers, quota
tions from German newspapers and
material drawn from the archives of
the State Department which lay bare
the story of inconceivable German
atrocities.

Alien Enemies Receive Fair Treat
ment and Pay for Their Labor

The interned Germans at the sta
tion at Hot Springs, N. c., are not
prisoners OF war. They comprise Of
ficers and crews of the German mer-
chant vessels which were held in the
United States at the time of the dec
laration of war.
These aliens receive no funds from
the Government except compensation
for balor actually performed. Those
engaged In construction work get
$40 a month, with an additional IS
to foreman. Interned officers have
not been permitted to receive from
any source more than $40 a month
and crewmen not more than IS. Re-
ceipts In excess of these amounts are
placed to the credit of the aliens in
banks.
Three plain but substantial meals
are prepared each day. There is no
waste, the same measures of econo-
my and conservation which are be-
ing urged upon every American
housewife being practiced at Hot
Springs.

Phone Companies Future is Dark

That the telephone companies of
the United are facing the darkest
period of their existence and that to
continue their previous good service
they must have the cooperation of
the people of the United States, is
the statement of ]. F. Greenawalt,
publicity manager of the Mountain
State Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany
Moret han 200 skilled work men
have left the employ of the company
to enter the government service, ac-
cording to Mr.. Greenawalt, leaving
a hole that it is impossible to fill, with
practically all of the skilled men of
the entire Bell system in the gov
ernment service. The Bell system
furnished $500 men for the signal
service alone, of which the Mountain
States quota was $50.
This together with the almost ut
ter impossibility of procuring ma
terial for construction and repair
purposes, put the company, accord
ing to Mr.. Greenawalt, between
the devil and the deep blue sea-" The
Bell system has been instructed by
the government to stop all construc-
tion that is not really necessary to
the government, and to do it's work
only. A short time ago, for purposes
of protection, there was a telephone
system installed in the lighthouses
on the Pacific coast, necessitating the
use of 100 phones and the laying of
800 miles of submarine cable.
To keep pace with the government
and to hold its own with the skilled
labor shortage and the acute short
age Of material, it is necessary, ac-
cording to Mr.. Greenawalt, to OBTAIN
the cooperation of the public in the
curtailing of phone calls to the few
est necessary.

Alcoholic Content OF Beer to Be Linn
tied to Per Cent Maximum

Alcoholic Content of Beer to Be Linn
tied to Per Cent Maximum
There is in the country from two
to three years supply of whisky,
brandy and gin which may be com
mandeered by the Government if re-
quired for purposes of manufacture
of alcohol for munitions. The re-
quirements for industrial alcohol.
however, in addition to the normal
output from sawdust and other waste
products, is negligible. The desira-
bility of saving all the grain used
in brewing from the standpoint of
food conservation is therefore limit
ed by the social question involved
in the use of whisky.
The president has approved the
recommendation of the Food Admin
istration that the alcoholic content
of beer be reduced to 8 per cent
maximum and the volume of grain
be reduced to approximately 70 per
cent of that formerly used. Provi-
sions are made to increase the output
of cattle feed from brewing establish
ments.
