ENGLAND CUTS
BEER SUPPLY
tBy Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 26-In order to reduce
the consumption of foodstuffs by
breweries, BARON Davenport, the food
controller, has decided that the guam
tity Of beerHo be brewed for the year
beginning in April shall be restricted
to 20 per cent of the output of the
previous year. This means that only
5000, 900 barrels of beer will be pro-
duced, about half the output of the
year preceding the war. +
Baron Davenport in explaining the
object of the order said the restriction
must not be deemed q measure Of
temperance or social reform.
The fact is." the food controller
continued, "the barley, sugar and 9TH
er ingredients used in brewing are
required for food, In fact, 1T is really q
question Of bread versus beer"
The order Of the food controller will
withhold from brewers $4,000 tons OF
barley and $4,000 tons OF sugar which
otherwise would be used in making
beer, The order will also effect large
saving i'm mercantile tonnage and
land transport and increase the avail
able supply of labor for industries OF
national Importance,
The measure has received the ap-
prevail Of the war cabinet, which has
decided that corresponding restric-
tons shall be placed on the release OF
wines and spirits from bond.

The Great Franco American.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Lafayette
was born In France, lived in France
strove for France and died in France
Yet America claims the chivalrous
and devoted soldier as her own. Nov
ed solely by his love of liberty, which
afterwards made him one of the i'm
posing figures Of the early days of the
French revolution, Lafayette came to
this country and fought bravely and
efficiently. He was. in fact, a leader
in two revolutions. He aided in bring
ing liberty to two great nations. The
two greatest republics owe to him a
debt of gratitude which neither is
likely to forget.
The grave of Lafayette is hidden
away in q disused convent cemetery
in an obscure corner of Paris, where
erS. Few OF the worlds heroes have
so quiet q resting place. But. there
are places in France which may be-
come shrineS sacred TO the memory
of, the soldier OF liberty. One of these,
a home which was long occupied by
Lafayette, has recently been pur0has-
ed by group of Americans, 1t is to
be preserved as monument to the
patriotism of man whose love of
human freedom was too broad to be
confined to his own land.
Such q monument will be one more
visible tie between the two republics,
It is unquestionahle that American
sympathy is now and long has been
stronger for France than for any 9TH
err European nation. French admira-
ton, of America is frank and generous
There are many reasons for this inter-
national friendship. but one of the
fundamental reasons is the work of
Lafayette, and it is peculiarly fitting
that this work be remembered in
France by Americans who best under
stand the value of Franco American
cordiality.
