USE GRAIN FOR BREAD, NOT
BOOZE, PLEA DURING WAR
Washington, April 14.-America'
big push" for food may wipe out her
breweries and distiIleries.
Taking advantage of threatened
food shortage throughout world and
demands on American farmers to
feed not only United States but her
allies, "drys" in congress are pre-
pairing to launch a spectacular drive
for war prohibition. Plans for the
effort have been completed and will
be announced early next week.
Purpose is to stop manufacture Of
all liquors and beers in United States
at least for period of the war, thereby
dtverting millions of bushels Of grain
into food channels.
Those behind the movement de-
clare that more than 6O0,OOO,OOO
bushels Of grain would be saved by
closing beer and whisky plants.
That's enough to feed 100000
people, " DR.. Wiley pure food expert
said today.
It's sufficient to feed whole nation
for month";" said Sen. Sheppard,
father of national prohibition amend
ment.
And besides, they say, thousands
Of men, now working in breweries
and distilleries would be released for
work at farming and other produc-
tive occupations.
Chairman Lever of house agricul-
ture committee favors plan. It is
given impetus by agricultural experts
in central part of country who. have
been working on food problem.
Movement has gained such mo-
mentum that distillers themselves
are making overtures to congress,
offering to restrict their output so
} as to release at least Is, 900, 900 bush
ole of Grain annually for food

Secretary Of War Receives Week's
Events at Front Great German
Bases Seriously Menaced.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Slowly "but
therefore the more irresistably'' the
British are sweeping forward into the
heart Of the German line.
Zeebrugge and Ostend, the great
German bases, are seriously menaced.
The canal system leading out Of
Bruges is threatened.
Air control and shell supply are en-.
abling the British to crumple the Ger.
man front at its strongest point and
make the Flemish coast untenable for

These are the outstanding points OF
Secretary Of War Bakers ohicial re-
sumo Of the events at the front for
the week ending Saturday in q lengthy
review Of the action In Flanders, pre-
pared by the war college and general
STAFF experts from official reports and
confidential advices.
While It may be premature to assert
that the British war machine has
forced a decision over the Germans,
Mr.. Baker says, the victories OF tho
last fortnight, threatening the German
submarine bases on the Belgian coast,
are conclusive indications OF the Allies
superiority. With favorable weather,
he thinks, these victories will be re-

The Review makes no reference to
the American forces In France or to
the great preparations for war going
forward at home.
THE attention Of the world" It
says, is focused on the titanic strug-
gle now going on in Flanders. The
battle raging there is proving an en-
gagement Of wholly unpreced edented
scope and potentialities.
