BEER MEN ARE TOLD
Gustave Pabst, Speaking Before
Brewers Convention, Says People
Are Being Misled.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. October 8
Charging that professional prohibit
tionists" are deliberately trying to mis-
lead the people by studied falsifica-
tions and publications Of malicious
falsehoods about the beer business by
disre garding the attitude of the press.

fore the opening business session OF

fight for existence.
Mr. Pabst pointed out that the asso-
citation had offered its cooperation to
all the departments of the federal gov
ernment, and the Subscription by
brewers of millions of dollars for lib
erty bonds at a time when the very life
Of the brewing industry was being
threatened with destruction was sub
stantial proof of the attitude of the in
dustry toward the government and its
war aims.
The President called upon brewers
throughout the nation to leave no
stone unturned to secure the rigid
enforcement Of all prohibition and
regulatory laws regarding the ship
ment and sale of beer.
Mr.. Pabst observed that there are
'many Indications that the people are
getting tired of professional prohibition
leaders, and that the reaction is shown
by the demand for constructive measures
that shall lead to permanent improve
ment"

| STOCKHOLM, October 3.-The delay
of Washington in issuing a statement
further defining the intentions of the
United States in regard to the liability
of unnaturalized foreigners to military
service is regrettable. say Americans
here, from the standpoint of American
reputation for fair play and also from
that of Swedish friendship. Hostile in

influence public opinion against the
United States by reiterating that Pres1-
dent Wilson intends to force into the
| fighting ranks every young Swede in
America unless he achieves the impos-
sible by procuring a passage for home
aboard the already crowded liners
within the next thirteen weeks.
| This is called a grim joke by the
anti-AmericanS here, who hnd many

ton. it/is claimed. should make clear
that it has no intention of drafting
short-term visitors. and also that the
draft will apply only to bona tide set
tiers who have neglected to take out
their papers.
1t is further alleged that the Ameri-
can government should make another
statement. reiterating the aims for
which it is fighting. Hostile influences
here have already declared that the
war is for a cause that is not ours"
In Malmo. a day two ago. the En-
gineers' Club of Skane province held a
meeting at which a resolution was
passed to request activity by the FOR
eien minister on behalf of Swedish
subjects in America. Mr.. Morris is
still without information in regard to
the matter. 1t is understood that the
government has again cabled to the Swed-
