SENATE WOULD DRAFT
ALIENS IN UNITED STATES
Army Service for Foreigners Provided
In ResoIution-Over Million Men
Affected.

Washington, Sept. 13.-Drafting OF
all aliens in the United States except
Germans, others exempt by treaty,
and those OF countries allied with Ger
many who have resided in this coun-
try one year, is proposed in joint res
olution passed by the senate Wednes-
day and sent to the house. 1t is esti-
mated that more than million aliens
would be affected.
Under the resolution presented by
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chair
man of the senate military affairs, sub
jects of the allies or neutrals claiming
treaty exemption would be allowed to
leave the country within 80 days.
Inequalities of the operation of the
draft law, because of exemption of a
large proportion of aliens in many dis
tricts were cited by Senator Chamber
lain to show the need for his resolu-
ton.
Amendments adopted would permit
the use of aliens of Germany in this
country for other than military pur-
poses; would provide that in future
drafts credit shall be given for the
excessive proportion in the recent
draft due to exemption of aliens, and
provide against expatriation of Ameri-
cans who have joined the allies.

WHISKY MAKING ENDS;
DISTILLERIES OBEY LAW
Plants VIII Be Used for Manufacture
of Alcohol for War Purposes-Lid
Put on Saturday.

Peoria, Ill.,, Sept. 10.-The hard
liquor capital of the world surrendered
at midnight Saturday. In compliance
with the food conservation law of con-
gress and with the edict of Food Con-
servator III. @. Hoover, the last drop
of whisky for beverage purposes was
drawn off in the afternoon and at IL
o'clock at night the lid was clamped on
the plants.
They will not reopen for the manu-
facture of whisky as beverage. This
was the statement of Robert d. Clarke,
one of the recognized heads of the
liquor interests of the country. This is
regardless of the extent of the war or
the threatened approach of national
prohibition.

Clarke said. eve will maintain our
plants in apple pie order prepared to
supply any demand from the United
States government or the allied ma
lions for such alcohol as is necessary
for the manufacture of powder. We
are through as beverage producers"
The end of whisky making, however,
does not mean an immediate drought
for those who require "red likker."
The estimate of men at the head of the
industry is that 215 100000 gallons of
beverage whisky exists in the 6O5 dis
tilleries of the United States, including
totals up to the IL o'clock lid.
