The Prohibitionists Launch
q Nation Wide Campaign
to Stop the Manufacture
and Sale of Intoxicating
Liquor.
CLAIM ALL GRAINS
NEEDED FOR FOOD
Tremendous Increases in
Taxes on Distilled Spirits
and Beers Sure to Come If
the Dry Movement Fails
Brewers Not Alarmed.

Washington. April 14.-Assault on
the liquor strongholds of the country
to bring about war prohibition was
formally launched today. To divert
enormous quantities of grain from IL
ouor manufacture into food channels,
TO turn the labor of men employed in
distilleries and breweries into produce
tive occupations and especially to in
crease the man power" of the nation,
snti-saloon league officials announced
that a drive will start Immediately in
congress to restrict, II not abolish pro-
duction of liquors during the war.
The program to be pursued, accord
ing to the national legislative commit
tee OF the anti-liquor forces, Is as fol-
lows:
Stop the sale of liquors to soldiers
and sailors, establish dry" zones
around the camps, prohibit interstate
shipment of liquor, prohibit grain and
food material from being used to make
liquor during the war and place a pro-
hibitive tax on not only the manufac-
ture but also the sale OF liquors.
APPEAL FOR PROHIBITION.
The new campaign carries with 1t
an appeal to the patriotic prohibition
forces of the country" to urge action
in congress which will Safeguard our
resources and make our country sober,
strong and efficient In this hour of
national peril"
While there are no indications as yet
that the government will get behind
"the emergency anti liquor" legsla-
ton, the administration nevertheless IL
known to be planning tremendous In
creases in taxes on distilled spirits and
beers.
Fully $500. 900 of the war revenue
will be raised in this way at once and
later there probably will be still furth-
re increases. This sum is about twice
what Is now derived from internal rev.
enue tax.
According to present plans, Secre-
tary McAdoo will recommend that tux
on liquor be increased from s1.10 to 50
q gallon while the tax on beer will go
up from $3.50 to 50 barrel-as a
starter.
