WARTIME PROHIBITION

In 1916 the federal government re-
ceiyed less than $25O.00O,O00 as re.
venue from alcoholic liquors and only
$50, 100000 of this was from fermented
liquors.
This Is less than 10 per cent Of the
subscriptions to the Liberty Loan, less
than 5 per cent OF years war ex-
penditure.
These taxes are paid by the con.
sumner, who pays in addition $4,000.

SWISS SAYS GERMANS
HAVE BIG RESERVES

ZURICH, July ia war CORE.
.spondent OF the Zuericher Post, who
recently returned from the German
front in France. declares Germany still
has vast reserves OF lighting men.
THE German losses in the terrific
battles which ragged during the last
three months on the British and
French fronts have been serious, but
not extraordinary" the correspondent
writes. when the great spring
drive Of the allies began In April
Hindenburg had about 100000 men in
reserve behind his lines and n mobile
army OF 100000 men, which can be
used wherever II may be needed.
When I left the front the reserves
had hardly been touched and the mo-
bile army. which consists entirely of
picked fresh troops, still waited for
its first battle.
"a high German officers told me
that the general stafT expects TO lose
100000 to 100000 men during the
summer" the correspondent contin.
ues. 80 far the losses have been
considerably below the estimate, but
even II they should increase, the
100000 men available will be sufn
cient until next winter, and Hinden
burg will not be compelled to draw
on his mobile army to fill the gaps
at the front.
During the summer months about
10000 men. who have been released
from the factories. mines, etc. by tn,
creation Of the great Industrial HON,
army, will become ready for servic,
at the front This force consists
mostly OF men who formerly wer,
rejected or excused and belonged L
the class Of unframed reserves.
"The fighting value of these troops
is probably below the German aver
age, bot tho" have been thorough!
trained fer ',f Months and will un
doubleday gisa good account o
themselves.
late In The fall Hlndenburg will
get ga entirely fresh army of abou
eoo,oo) men, as the recruits of 1915
who were called to the colors in Feb
rUay win then be ready to go &c
tie front.
''The German army Is much larger
today than during the FIRST year oI
the var" the correspondent con
cludes. "At the front and during my
travels In Germany ! have studied
the military resources of the empire
closely and am convinced that lack
OF human material will not force the
Germans to ask for peace.
THE great danger which confronts
them lies in the internal situation. II

own safety we must insist on certain
changes of the frontiers between Aus
tro-Hungary and Serbia. The Serbian
demand for an indemnity is a piece OF
impudence and not worthy OF serious
discussion"
In regard to Montenegro the paper
says that this country will be re-es,
tablished as It was before the war,
but that Mount Loyen must remain
in Austrian possession. The only con
dition for the evacuation Of the king
dom will be that King Nicholas shall
aSiicate in favor OF his second son
PrinceMirko. who has been on very
friendly terms with the Austro-Hun
garian government since his father
fed 10 France, and often comes to
Vienna.

AUSTRlANS WILLING TO

VIENNA, July 1.-THE semi-ofIicial
Frendenblatt, discussing the Serb.
ian question, says the conquered
Kingdom will surely be re.established.

Balkan war.
"Austria-Hungary does not want to
wipe Serbia from the map forever, but
must insist that the peace of the Dual
Monarchy shall never again be threat.
ened by this turbulent little kingdom
the paper says. IA very simple way
to solve the Serbian problem would
be to merge Old Serbia, Montenegro
Bosnia and Herzegovina and parts
OF Croatia and Slavonia into an au
tonomous state of the Aus,ro. Hungar.
ian monarchy.
Such an arrangement would brinp
all Serbs under a government Of their
own and would give them not only
almost complete independence. but
also an outlet to the sea. There is
no prospect, however. that this plan
can be carried out. The Serbs will

oar retail buying is enormous. The DE
livery Ct small packages that shopper
can just as we'll carry home is just so
much labor utterly thrown away. The de-
livery of goods to be returned, for lazy
shopping at home, is wanton, vicious
waste. The use of credit, where one could
Just as we'll pay cash, causes a small but
utterly needless waste all along the line,
from bookkeeper to postofice to bank.
We are glad to see that the great retail
merchants of the country are reducing
these wastes by adopting the suggestions
of the Economy Board of the Council OF
National Defence. The small merchants,
the grocer and the butcher can equally
help. The system Of lower cash prices at
the store, with an extra charge for delivery
and for credit, has a new and increasingly
strong appeal for sensible Americans. 1t
is the sound system and the just system,
and the war could do few better services
to Americans than accustom them to this
system and establish it as the rule of re-
tail trade.
Buy as much as you need when you need
it. But buy intelligently, carefully, vast
ing neither your own money nor anothers
time. Better buying, not less buying,
should be our new shopping slogan.

Better, Not Less, Buying

We cannot think Of clearer illustration
Of the precise sort of business activity that
war efficiency should curb than the whole
array of costly retail frills-unnecessary
deliveries, returned goods, needless credit.
There is every reason why Americans
should 90 on buying what they need,
promptly, freely, as before. Any other
practice is foolish boarding, that can pro-
duce only disturbance of the whole ma
tional organism of labor and commerce.
But we should scrutinize our buying with
a new care, we should try to buy with
greater intelligence, we should try to use
what we buy more wisely. From first to
last we should seek TO avoid waste of every
description-that is the one great rule by
which our daily living should be altered.
The wastefulness Of the petty con-
veniences which have grown up around
