 Distilled Spirits
INCREASE OF s5 TO $e 4 GALLON
 ON WHISKEY
NEW FEATURE WAR TAX
Legislation Agreed Upon by a Sub stantial Majority of the Senate Fin- ance committee--Importati is Pro- hibited in the Measure

Washington June 4 - Prohibition legislation was approved today by the senate finance committee as a new feature of the war tax bill.
 Prohibitive taxes upon distillation Of whiskey and other spirits for beverage purposes, with a ban upon their i'm portatton, were agreed upon by a sub stantial majoirty of the committee. Taxes fixed by the house on beer and wines were left unchanged, though they have not yet been finally ap- proved
 General suspension of beverage pro duction by distilleries and the use of liquor now in bonded warehouses prob ably would be the effect of the new tax section if enacted into Jaw.
 Dual Object of the Committee.
 Curtailment of liquor consumption during the war and conservation Of foodstuffs used in manufacturing dis titled spirits, Chairman Simmons said tonight. constituted the dual object Of the committee in adopting the subst!- tutes for the house rates. Manufac- ture of alcohol for industrial. mechan- ical or medicinal purposes would not be affected.
 Increased Tax.
 In addition to the present tax of $2.20 per gallon on the liquor. a. tax of $20 per bu6hel (from S5 to &q a foodstuffs used in manufacturing whiskey or other distilled spirits for use as beverages was written into the bill Senator Simmons said the in- crease would be prOhibitive upon man ufacture while the law Is in effect or during the war. Increased taxes Of S per gallon upon molasses, syrups and substitutes used in distilla ton for bev- craze purposes also was agreed upon. Permits for exportation would be given only for war purposes upon application by a nation al war with Germany.
 No Importation.
 As supplementary legislation ths committee further approved an amend ment prohibiting importation into this country, Porto Rico and the Philip pines of distilled spirits made from any foodstuff except for industrial, mechanical or scientific purposes
 Senator Gore of Oklahoma, a prol1i- bition advocate, was the author of the liquor amendments.
 Belief in the committee that little or no revenue loss will result is based upon the fact that whiskey and other distilled spirits already manufactured may be withdrawn, upon payment Of $2.20 per gallon, for general consump- tion. Senator estimated that actual consumption would decrease but little from liquors now in bond, and that about the usual revenue would be fur nished.
 The prohibitive taxes. Levi Cooke. counsel for the national distilEnE in- terests, said tol1sht, will result in vir- tually complete cessation of distilation for beverage purposes.

GERMANY BANISHES
THOUGHT OF PEACE

Washington, March 14.-Former
Ambassador Gerard, fresh from Ber
lin, reported to the state department
today that when he left there was
every evidence that Germany fully i'll
tended carrying out her ruthless sub
marine campaign regardless OF the
prospect of war with the United States
and that talk Of peace had been aban-
doned.
Mr.. Gerard reported that German
officials apparently considered the ef-
iects and consequences of submarine
ruthlessness before proclaiming it and
so far as he could learn were COLI
fdent Of its success. When he left
Berlin, however. the campaign was
only in it's second week and the Ger
mans were still predicting the de-
struction Of million tons Of ship
ping a month, the amount admitted
by Teutonic experts to be essential
for an active starvation blockade
of England Since then the average
destruction has been below half that.
Food Situation Serious.
Food conditions in Germany when
Mr.. Gerards party left were reported
as serious but not necessarily critical.
This question is looked upon by the
American government as very import
ant because of it's bearing On the pos
sibility of further peace moves by
Germany in the near future.
The report made by the former am
bassador to the state department was
understood to deal particularly with
the treatment accorded him and other
Americans following the break in dip
lomatic relations, the efforts Of the
German government to get him to
reafirm the old treaty OF 1923 with
extensive changes, the general attl-
tude of the German government and
public towards submarine warfare.
peace and relations with the United
States and conditions in Germany.
Regarding food conditions, one Of
the best observers who has reported
to the state department in months,
said that 100000 people directly
connected with the army or govern
ment, another 20,0o0,o00 people tn
the rural portion and about 5000, 900
wealthy people are we'll fed, but that
the balance, about 20,000,00o are in
serious plight.
