BEER SOON ID
 HAVE ALCOHOLIC
 CONTENT REDUCED
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. - Orders reducing the alcoholic content of beer to three per cent will be issued soon by the food administration with the approval of President Wilson. At the same time the amount of grain used by brewers will be cut down approx imately thirty per cent. although the volume of beer will not be decided.
 In making this announcement to- night the food administration points out that since there is in the. country a two or three years supply of whiskey it is undesirable at the pres ent time to stop entirely the brewing of beer because of the possibility of driving the people to whiskey drink ing. The social question involved, it is declared, must be given equal con- sideration with that of food conserva- tion. Of this problem the statement says:
 "The food bill provides for the pro- hibition of the use of roodstuffss in the production of distilled spirits for bov- craze purposes and the use of food stuffs for the production of distilled drinks was stopped September 8. There is, however, in the country from two to three years supply of whiskey l brandy and gin and other distilled | liquors. The food bill provides that these liquors can be cornmandeered by ! the government if required for pur- poses of manufacture of alcohol for munitions. On the other hand the re- quirements for industrial alcohol in ! addition to the normal output from sawdust and other waste products is at present negligible.
 Those who wish brewing entirely suppressed should therefore bear in mind that if such a course were pur- sued the country would be placed on a whiskey basis entirely and the amount of alcohol consumed most probably would increase.
 "The desirability of saving all the grain used in brewing from the point of view of food conservation is there- fore limited by the social question in- volved in the exclusive use of whis- key.'
 The regulations will provide for an increased output of cattle feed from brewing establishments

 LONDON, Nov. 27.-Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch. brother of the former emperor, according to a Petro-' grad dispatch to the Times. has been arrested and imprisoned in Smolny Institute, the headquarters of the. Bol-. SheViki.
 Michael Alexandrovitch, a younger brother of Nicholas Romanoff, was named as regent when his brother ab- dicated last March 15. He abdicated the following day, ending the Roman off dynasty. He and his wife were arrested early last September in con- nection with a monarchist plot. It was said the former grand duke was not implicated in the plot but that his arrest was merely a precautionary measure. He was kept in custody, however. and was imprisoned in Petro- grad. On November F. it was re- ported that he was with Premier Ker- ensky at Gatchina.

Then, in addition to this, they have chance for real action, the thing the red blooded young American likes. They are the first to land in any for eign cline when trouble starts. It is the marines who are sent to maintain order when a revolution breaks out in various parts of the globe where the authority of Uncle Sam asserts itself"
 Sergeant Blakeman says Phoenix should be proud of the admirable type of men who have responded to the call to the colors through enlistment in the marine corps. We have had a fine group of men from Phoenix who have entered the service through this office" says Sergeant Blakeman.

ROBERT M'KAY |S
 BEING SOUGHT FOR

Phoenix police department officials are endeavoring to locate Robert Mo Kay in response to a communication received yesterday from Mrs. Lucy Mckay, of Toledo, Ohio, a sister-in- law of the missing man.
 In her letter to the chief of police, Mrs. Mckay says that she lost track of her brother law four or five years ago and that all efforts to To- cate him have thus far proven un- availing.
 Mrs. Mckay is said to have received information that her missing relative is in this section of the country.

TELLS OFFOOD|N CAMP
 FUNSTON MESS

Not a complaint from one man in his company about the food at Fun stOn, was the statement made last evening by Sergeant Nick" Osborn of Supply Company $40 who is home on a furlough. The young soldier de- clares that the rations are fit" and the only thing lacking is butter and the men are now used to doing without it.
 Army city has sprung into life with in the past few weeks and the little village, ten minute walk from camp, provides the boys with place to go when a change of diet is wanted, but mot necessary" says Osborn.
 Much as he has to say in praise of the camp food, Sergeant Osborn still puts in his claims for cakes and can dies whenever any one wished to adopt a soldier in camp. He bears out the statement made by Captain F. T. Win dle who recently gave out an interview at the camp that the men were in tensely interested in food conservation. Captain Windle said the men are allowed a regular government ration which is fixed by expert dieticians. l According to figures of the quarter masters office the men are fed for | 39.38 cents day.
 Funston has it's meatless and l WD6dlI6SS UdyS, Sdlu capt. w lIul6 "The boys don't waste very much. There is hardly a company in camp | that does not save from $400 to $500 a month on it's ration allowance. This is paid them by the quartermaster at the end of the month and is used in the cOmpany's mess fund to buy ar ticles such as fresh fruit, chicken, ice cream and cake, that are not issued by the quartermaster. Just now the boys are eating lots of vegetables, be- cause vegetables are plentiful and ex- tremely healthy"
