Manufacture of Spirits Must
Cease Then, Food Ad-
ministration Rules.

Not another drop Of whiskey will
be manufactured in the United States
after IL o'clock on the night Of Sep
tember 8. All other distilled spirits
for use as beverages will ceaes to
be manufactured at the same time.
This ruling was made by the Food
Administration yesterday after It had
been bombarded for several days with
ceaseless flow Of kilograms from
distillers asking for specific informa-
ton. The food control law provides
that tbe production should cease thirty
days after approval OF the measure.
Falls on Sunday.
The bill was approved August 10.
and consequently the provisions OF
the bill would go into effect at mid
night September 9. This being Sun
day, and as the internal revenue laws
prevent the operation of distilleries
on Sunday. question was raised in
the minds OF the distillers.
The limitation is placed in Section
Is of the food control law which
reads:
THAT from and after thirty days
from the date of the approval of this
Act no foods, fruits. food materials,
or feeds shall be used in the pro-
duction Of distilled spirits for bever-
age purposes"
Step at Midnight.
In commenting upon the ruling, the
Food Administration states:
1.-The law contemplates that all steps
in the process of distillation shall
cease at the point of time indicated
in the ruling. So far as the utiliza.
ton Of foods, fruits, and food ma
terials or feeds for the production
of distilled spirits for beverage pur-
poses is concerned. the act shall be
construed as to inhibit the initiation
OF any step. unless the entire process
may be fully completed prior TO II
p. m September s, 1917"
Plans of DIstiIIers.
The Food Administration has been
Informed that many distillers were
planning to continue the process OF
manufacture up to the last minute
allowed by the law. That is, il was
expected TO place the grains in the
watts up to the last minute, and al
low the process Of fermentation to
continue after the limit prescribed by
the law. Some Of the more cautious
distillers sought a ruling. and failing
to get an immediate answer. the Food
Administration soon was deluged with
INQUIRIES.
It was stated yesterday that the
price fixing committee of the grain
trades would meet here next week.
The deliberations of this body are
expected to last for several weeks be-
fore any price is finally fixed.

By william Alden Smith, Senator
from Michigan.

There is strong tendency, of
course, among all peace-loving peoples
to do what lies in their power to put
an end to this war. The bases for
such a conclusion seem to be varied
as the individual opinions of people
are diverse. The Pope's suggestions
should, OF course, be given their ap-
propriate weight. Whether his sug-
gestions have been inspired by the
Austrian government and were
known to the German government,
we have no means of knowing. Every
one would like to get rid Of this awful
international difficulty. but IL the
principle involved is worth the sac
ritice of life and treasure. It cannot
be frittered away in any moment of
sentimentalism.'
1T must be tried by the stern reali-
des of the stun and tried by that
standard Present suggestions look
like an indecisfve draw, which I do
not believe would be or could be ac-
cepted at this time"

Criticises Pontif.
/ BY AISLE J. Gronna, Senator from
North Dakota.

Germany will be beaten; any au-
tocracy should be beaten. The United
States will come out victorious in
this war. but the message Just re-
ceived from Pope Benedict cannot and
will not be ignored by the people
OF the world.
Personally, I can see no harm in
a declaration of that kind having for
its object the proposal of peace. Upoi.
what terms this war shall end will
be, Of course, for the United States
and our allies to decide, but If this
war can be ended and an honorable
peace established without the slaugh-
ter Of American lives, it would be
better to discuss peace now than to
wait until that has been done"

LIE Temps Comment.

Paris, Aug. 16-The Paris Temps
strongly criticises the Pope's peace
appeal saying:
The Pope's proposal is nothing more
or less than to sacrifice Russia and
the entire entente cause. The eastern
front, Serbia and Rumania are not
even named in the Pope's message.
Yet the war began with the odious
aggression against Serbia, and Ruma-
MIA is at this moment heroically de-
Tending her national territory.
The western allies cannot abandon
the nations which trusted them, and
which tomorrow must form the indis-
pensable ramparts against Germanic
expansion. They cannot betray Rus
sia, whose liberty. and perhaps unity,
would not survive such a disaster.
IAN arrangement that would deliver
Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and
part of Asia, and which means a
menace to Egypt and at the same
time restitution to Germany of her
colonies, would not be peace"

In announcing the orders the War
Department cautions that the num-
bers assigned TO the various units in
no way denote the priority upon
which the troops will go TO France.
1t is further announced that the as

other officers cannot be regarded but
as tentative.
It is probable that the troops that
do the best work in training will be
the frst TO so to France.

Secretary Of War Bake s endeavor-
isg q find authority for the appoint
ment Of lieutenant generals and pos
sibly Of a general. Experts OF the de-
partment have not yet determined
whether this step will require addi-
tional authorization by Congress or
whether the Secretary of War already
possesses these powers.
A lieutenant general would be as
signed to the command OF an army or
army corps, and there is talk OF re-
viving the rank OF general for Maj.
Gen. Pershing as commander Of the
expeditionary force.
1t was said here yesterday that Gen
Crowder and some of the other stafI
officers who were passed over when
the promotions to major generals
rank were announced might md
themselves jumped into lieutenant
generalships and corps commands
when the corps are organized.
The revival OF the higher general
ranks is considered almost necessary
by the War Department to give our
commanders in Europe rank with
commanders OF similar bodies Of men
in the allied armies.
