Will REDUCE ALCOHOLIC
CONTENT OF Beer
Food Administrator Hoover Turning
His Attention to Saving OF Food
stuns In This Ma ncr

Especial to The Richmond virginian)
Washington, Aug. 20.--Not only
will the making of distilled liquors
for beverage purposes stop on Sep
tember S, at II o'clock p. M, the
date indicated by Food Administrator
Hoover under the authority Of the
food control bill, recently passed by
congress and approved by the presi-
dent but the alcoholic content OF
beer will be reduced by Mr.. Hoover,
it is understood. The present alco-
holic content of beer ranges from
3 l-2,to per cent but, in the opin-
ion of the food ad. Illustrator, tho
saving .of $4,000 900 bushels of grain.
which he considers necessary will
make drastic action as to beer neces-
sary in the near future
When the food control bill was
passed as finally amended, the beer
interests chuckled over the fact that
they had escaped an imperative pro-
vision calling for the knocking out OF
beer within thirty days, as was pro-
vided with conference to whiskey
Boasts were made that the food adj
ministrator would never exercise the
authority granted under the bill to
reduce the alcoholic content of beer
But, the indications are the beer In
terests have real Jolt awaiting
them.
The whiskey interests knew that
within thirty days from the time the
food bill was passed. the making of
whiskey would have to stop. Ad-
mtnistrator Hoover, In setting the ex-
act day and hour on which whiskey-
making must stop has simply carried
out plain mandate of the law. But
the fact that he has made arrange
ments to exercise the discretion given
him under the law as to beer, is a
real surprise Not only is 1t blow
at the arrigant beer interests, but 1t
sustains absolutely the contention of
representatives of the prohibition
forces on the floor OF congress, that
real conservation of food supplies for
the conservation of grain entering
into the making OF beer as well al
whiksey.
Mr.. Hoover seems to take the sane
view as the friends of prot ibition
did, that flesh should not be made OF
one industry. and bowl of the other.
Just when he will exercise the author
ity granted him as 10 reducing the
alcoholic content of beer has not
been made public, but this action Is
expected soon.
The drastic prohibition features OF
the war revenue bill now before the
senate have been ratified by the senate
in committee of the whole. This
means they will b. finally approved
when the bill is passed. Due to the
attitude OF the house towards this
particular legislation there is no
doubt Of favorable action by that
body. through its conferees, and when
the revenue bill becomes law, as IL
viii within three weeks almost GER
tainly. the history of this session OF
congress will chronicle still further
inroads upon the liquor traffic, all
pointing to one end, ultimate nation
wide prohibition.

Suffolk, Va. Aug. 20.-Although the
train which carried the members of
Company r south did not arrive in
Suffolk until late Saturday night, fully
one thousand people remained at the

Leaning more than half way from

The lunches for them had been sent
down to Norfolk earlier In the day
but there were hundreds of boxes OF
edibles handed in the windows a

GERMANY AlDlNh ENGLAND.

Airplanes are taking on increased importance almost daily in the war zone. but the German practice of bombing London from military standpoint harms Germany more than 1t does England
 Whenever a devastating air raid over London results in the killing of a score or more of innocent human beings the net result is renewed de- termination by the I,itish nation to get revenge by sticking to the job of fighting Germany until she is thor oughly beaten.
 This is the only logical result. and it is fully in accord with human na- ture. The German a'tocracy should know that by this time that fright fulness' aids the ene.ny-from a psy- choloSical standpoint

TELEPHONE GIRLS AND MEN PROVIDE
 AMBULANCE UNIT
Oversubscribe Fund With Which to Purchase Equip
 ment for Red Cross,

Employees of the Southwestern Bell
 Telephone company, operating in the states of Arkansas, Missouri. Kansas Oklahoma and Texas, yesterday con- pleted q weeks subscriptions to a fund with which to provide an ambu- lance and equipment, and maintain the unit fer year. When the sub
 scription period closed, the fund had
 been oversubscribed nearly twice the amount needed.
 The ambulance unit is provided by the telephone company's employees in honor of the 800 employees of the com pany who have enlisted in the signal corps of the United States army. The
 company has assumed broad, patrio- tic attitude, paying to the dependents of the men who have enlisted the diff ference between the pay they receive from the government and the salary they earned while working for the Bell company.
 w. l.. Jones, district manager of the Bell Telephone company here, was highly gratifed over the contributions from his district. "It was strictly an employees movement, and the com pany had no part in it. The liberal ity of our employees tends to fully demonstrate that the people are with the president and government in this war" said Mir. Jones. :
 The fund closed yesterday is in ad- dition to a fund subscribed some weeks ago by the men in the employe
 of the Bell Telephone company with
 which to procure phonographs, rec ords, baseballs, bats, mitts, boxing gloves and other things to provide en- tertainment and diversion for the telephone men in the signal corps.

HOME GUARD TO DRILL
 AT PARK THIS EVENING
Beginning of Selection of Men for New National Army Expected to
 Increase Size Of Squad.

The regular drill of the Jefferson Home Guards will be held this even- ing, at Athletic field, and because of the fact that actual selection of the men to serve in the new national army has been started by the local : boards, it is expected there vii be an increase in the number of drafted men, and men liable to the draft, to the draft. to join the Home Guard for the benefit of the framing they will thus receive before trey are actually mabilized.
 Capt. Sam Hilheim, president of the Home Guard, will have command of the awkward squad, and has al ready issued a special call for the drafted men to join the guard, point ing out that in the organization of the new national army, the men with training are the men who will get the non-commissioned positions, and thus they will have an advantage over the men without any army training, and will be in line for promotions to high CT positions.
 The Home Guard will meet at the courthouse at 7:30 o'clock, and the Woodmen band will also meet there at the same hour. Headed by the band, the boys will march to Athletic field, where the band will give a con- Ing.

SANE CENSORSHIP.

Under the espionage bill, the post office officials have wide powers to forbid the free use of the mails of publications. In the exercise of these powers, a high degree of judi cjal fairness is necessary.
 Americans are highly patriotic to- day because their differences of opin- ion have been threshed out by public discussion, not by secret conspiracy. The more patriotic th.'y are, the less they will welcome any limitation of the freedom of the lress.
 So far the wthholdir g of mail priv ileges has been lim,,ed to papers comparatively obscure and feeble The printing of articles calculated to dis. courage recruiting is the cause given The danger lies in the elasticity with which this charge can be stretched by bureaucratic minds to cover Varied expressions of opinion.
 Americans can be calculated upon to do their utmost to carry the war through to victory: bu. it must not be forgotten that it is a war for world liberty; and our fight for the free dom of other peoples should not be croachments on our own.

WAR LITERATURE.

Evry newspaper of any size in the nation is receiving snndry war ma terial from various sources in such quantities that some mails bring a virtual "fist full" as the newspaper vernacular puts it.
 The national and state councils of defense. the department of agricul- ture, state conservation officials and other departments of the national and state governments, not to men, ton some societies which seem to exist for the express purpose of flood ing newspaper offices with material these see to it that the time of the editor is well taken care of these strenuous days.
 If editors read every line of this matter they'd have time for nothing else. Usually glance at the first few parapgraphs indicates where it will land; and to be candid, as the quantity of space at the disposal of every newspaper is l..nited, it stands to reason that most ot this publicity material must 60 to the waste basket There is never a compunction of con science about this process, as the consciences of editors hae long ago been dulled; anyway, there is the knowledge that by tomorrow there will be another handful of material to choose from.
 For a time considerable pamphlet literature came to the papers off the way from England It seemed that every pamphlet printed in the mother country had gratis circulation in American newspaper offices. Lately they have been coming from New York offices of these numerous con. cerns in considerable quantity. Ap- parently they are now shipped from England in bulk an1 addressed in New York. In the last two weeks new English pamrhlet has been sent out nearly every day; and it must be said that they are uniformly good-well printed and well illus trated. They sell at lew figures, and suggest that the oiG art of pam bhleteer has been revived on the other side.
 To one we'll versed in the technic- alitiss of sthe printing business the reason 1is ,cleaf. These pamphlets are; published to sell to thes pubic. but once in type, merely the cost of paper and mailing is necessary to reach far greater audience. and consequent ly they are sent to the papers, in

THE I. w. W. IN THE WEST.

Scarcely had the excitement over race trouble in southern Illinois died down when along comes intensified diyturbances b2tween the authorities and the Industrial Workers of the World" in the West.
 It appears that these pseudo-anarch. ists not only oppose the war, but be- lieve in acting against it at every op- portunity, Consequently it is little to be marvelled at that they are ob- noXious to the authorities wherever found
 It is much easier to shunt them from place to place than to grapple with them by any other means. The shunting process amounts to little. It doesn't reduce their numbers and merely gives them free thansporta- tion to other localities in which to spread their pernicious doctrines. Besides, it's unfair to the places to which they are shunted.
 The l. w. w. has been shunted and kicked about like Missouri dog-or mule-for quite number of years and the process has made no percep- tible decrease in it's sum total or activities. Improved and more eff cient methods of handling the prob lem are needed.
