BREWERS NOW ADVISE DOING
 WITHOUT BARS
Would Separate the Sale of Beer From That of
 Whiskey

CHICAGO. - (Special.) - Reduce the volume of alcohol in beer to 8 per cent so as to make it temperance drink is the proposal of the leading brewers in the country as a means of checking the prohibition wave which threatens to sweep away the great brewing industry.
 The brewers also join. the ranks of those who are fighting to do away with the barroom. They propose, in place of the saloon, place resemb- ling a restaurant, into which women will not be ashamed to enter.
 The opinions of the brewers were gathered by the American Brewers Review. The concensus shows that the brewers want to bring about these changes:
 Elimination of the bar.
 Keep drinking places open to. view from the street and do away with all secrecy.
 Win for places where beer is sold  such character that man will not hesitate to take his wife into them.
 Convince the public of the error of the idea that beer is strong drink.
 Separate the sale of beer from the sale of whisky.
 Have the brewing industry aid in the rigid enforcement of all laws re- lating to the sale of liquors.
 New issues and new leadership for the brewing industry.
 Some of the brewers were in favor of only per cent of alcohol in beer, but majority seemed to prefer 3 per cent as the maximum. At pres ent light beers average about 61s per cent alcohol and ale and porter about ' per cent.-( (Record-Herald)

statements to create this war sentl- ment. lie declared:
 There is no doubt in my mind or in the mind of any fair-thipking man that a cabal of great newspapers are now seeking to create a war sentiment and to coerce the government into an attitude of hostility with one of the belhgerent powers. Anyone who makes such false statements in pub lie" said Stone, "iS a public enemy and should be punished"
 During his speech he spoke of faked news published about the treatment of American officials by the Germans in territory held by the German armies and about invented stories of the destruction of German vessels in United States ports.
 Senator Cummins declared that he was totally opposed to give the preSi- dent authority to do anything that might tend to lead the nation into war.

WAR MEASURES, SENSATIONAL PAPERS AND ESPIONAGE BILL
 ARE DENOUNCED IN CONGRESS

Mail correspondence from Wash ington shows that the admimStra- tion's plans in regard to the war situ- ation are not receiving unanimous ap- proval, but that there are rather hot arguments. in which opponents of militarism set forth their views in strong language.
 The following reports tell of de- bates on Feb. Is and l7 over war measures:
 WASHINGTON, Feb. l7.-The ad- ministration's espionage bill giving the president sweeping authority in proceeding against agents of foreign powers in this country was subjected to a fierce attack during the debate on it today and it is indicated that the more drastic provisions might be modified before passage. CumminS and Lee led the attack, while Walsh, Ovcrman and Reed defended the measure.
 "The tyrants of old never dared, said CumminS, to exercise such power as would be given to the president by this measure" Referring to the pro- vision that would make it crime to violate any of the regulations pre- scribed by the president, Cummins de- clared that such provision delegates to the president the right to suppress free speech, and a free press, and the speaker believed it would give the president the power to make criminal a discussion of national defense by members of corgrses themselves. The provision chiefly alluded to by Cummins were those regarding pub fishing and communication of any thing relating to the armed forces of the nation.
 Attacks War Department
 Declaring that the war department in the present administration is in- competent and unworthy of trust, Representative Shellenberger, Demo- cratic member of the house military committee. this afternoon said in a speech in the house that if the plans of the army staff were carried out the army would cost the nation a billion dollars annually. The speech YaS de- livered during general debate on the army appropriation bill which carries two hundred and forty seven million dollars. The debates on this bill will be continued and are expected to bring out some further suggestions of opinion on the question of foreign re- lations.
 Papers Accused by Stone
 That the great newspapers of the United States are now trying all in their power to create bad feeling be- tween Germany and the United States and are trying to bring about war was the sentiment expressed in the senate when the senators dis cussed the international crisis in con- sidering a bill to curtail the activi- ties of foreign agents in this country, Chairman Stone of the fOregin rela- tions committee bitterly denounced the pewspapers for circulating false

TO RUSSIA
 WAS NOT AUTHORIZED
American Officials in Petrograd Acted on Own Authority Berlin Says Armistice Nego- tiatiOnS Include ROumania.

Washington, Dec. 5.-It was off, cially declared today at the State De- partment that both Lieutenant Col onel Judson, head of the American military mission in Russia, and Maj. M. c. Kerth, temporary military at tache at the American embassy, acted without instructions from this govern ment in presenting communication to the Bolsheviki government on the at titude of the United States in the effort to effect separate peace and |armistice with Germany.
 Major Kerths communication was a protest to the Russian commander-in- chief against an armistice. Colonel Judson's communication was couched in more lenient terms. The discrep- ancies between the two mystified of ficials, and it was not made clear until today that the action of the two off, cers, taken in view of circumstances was not on instructions from Wash ington.
 The State Department today had no dispatches from Russia. It has prev iously been announced officially that the attitude of the government toward the Bolsheviki was one of tolerance, hoping to preserve what progress has been made toward democracy in Rus sia rather than risk their throwing the country back into the hands of an autocracy by drastic action.

WAR 0N AUSTRIA WILL
 BE FACTOR NEXT WEEK
Congress Will Lose No Time in Carrying Out the Presidents Wishes-War Proposal Was Approved Unanimously.

Washington, Dec. 5.-There will be no delay in framing the declaration of war upon Austria Hungary. Parlia- mentary machinery, put in motion to- day, will turn out the declaration re- quested by President Wilson early next week.
 Chairman Flood of the House for eign affairs committee introduced a resolution today which was at once referred to his committee. The com mittee met at once, ironed out some legal phraseology, unanimously ap- proved the declaration and instructed Chairman Flood to report out the resolution tomorrow. He will ask unanimous consent that the declara- tion be placed first on the order of business for Fridays session. Indi- cations now are that the House will push the resolution through just as expeditiously as the committee did today.
 Prediction was made tonight that there would be practically no dissent ing vote on the declaration. This pre- diction was based on change of front shown by practically all the anti-war voters last spring.
 Every member of the foreign affairs committee who last spring voted against war on Germany today voted for a declaration against Austria Hungary. The aged Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin, who has sturdily opposed all war, because of an inborn horror of wars results, cast his vote with the committee. reversing his stand few months ago.
 Porter, Huddleston and Shackleford, three other committeeman who op- posed the declaration last spring, faced about today and made the com mittee vote unanimous.
 Members of the committee not able to be present were Ragsdale, Rogers, Temple. Kennedy and Foss. Ragsdale telegraphed his vote, his faye" being received with acclaim.

 Great forces of men and guns have been massed by the Austrians and Germans in the Asiago section, ac- cording to reports reaching here to- night that the enemy is employing 10 divisions of troops.
 Among the troops and units that have arrived in Italy with the British and French armies is large group of aviators, who are impatiently waiting to get into action. The British have sent a large contingent of fiers, half of whom are young Canadians and Americans, who have been doing scout work in Flanders and Northern France.

SAVE COAL AND KEEP WARM,
 GOV. WHITMAN TELLS HOW

Albany, N. Y., Dee. 6-Save coal and at the same time keep warm. Gov Whitman says it can be done, and has issued a list of "donts and does' which he urges New Workers to fol- low in firing up this winter. The gov ernor's suggestions follow:
 Not burn coal in an open grate.
 Not have every room heated; close off spare rooms.
 See there are no cracks at floor line of furnace, permitting air leakage into asphit.
 Keep entire fuel space of range or furnace filled; thin fires mean waste.
 Feed fire and shake grate at regu- lar intervals; two or three time daily is sufficient.
 Shake down the ashes before add ing coal stop shaking when the first bright coal drops.
 Don't leave feed-door draughts open.
 Keep the ashpit empty; sift all ashes to recover good coal dropped through grate
 Clean fues frequently.
