FOOD BILL USETTLED

(Continued from Papa1

Barleycorn" is coming to life again as
Ia prominent figure in the senate de-
6ate on food control.
After having been buried with cere-
mony by substantial senate majority
last Saturday, whiskey revived under
the strenuous first aid services of
"wets" and group Of "drys" who be-
lieve his burial was unconstitutional.
The center of fire in the debate is
that portion of the rites said over dis
titled spirits which would direct Pres
ident Wilson to buy all goods in bond.
1t appears likely now there will be re-
consideration Of last Saturdays ac-
ton.
Hard liquor prices are soaring as a
result Of the senate confusion. Deal
ers who see whiskey and gin vanish
ing or curtailed, are laying in extra
stocks, thus forcing UP the price while
the prospective drouth is an excuse
for boosting prices.
Here whiskey is Is cents straight"
while by the case there is an advance
OF $3.50 or more since last week.
Scotch is up as high as thirty cents

beer is sharing in the ballooning at
the rate Of about 81 barrel.

tude Of the United States is as it has
been-no peace until the seas are
safe and Germany SO crushed as to
make her impotent for further
schrecklichkeit frightfulness. A
peace on Germany's own terms. as
always hitherto offered, will be
promptly spurned. though il the
terms are more liberal than in the
PAST, they will tend to bring the two
sides nearer a common basis OF ne
gotiation.
Germany is still unbeaten and will
remain so for some time. military
experts say America might as well
realize that first as last, they say,
and might as well know, too, that
despite the present mutterings. the
German autocracy is able to bluff it's
populace TO continue the war for a
long time. The real explosion is not

straws showing the way the wind

inent government heads today.
