GERMAN IMPRESSION
OF ENTENTES REPLY
DR.. Hanmann Says the Reply Was
Issued From Judges Chair.

Berlin, Jan. 2.-By Wireless to
Sayvflle). The German impression of
the entente's reply to the peace pro-
posais of the central powers was re-
nected today in a statement made TO
the semi-ofhcial Overseas News agen-
cy by Dr.. Hammann, who until the
turn OF the year was director of the
Intelligence department of the foreien
office. This comment was not based
on the off1c!a! text Of the entente's
note; as thus far only the version sup
piled by the Havas News Agency from
Paris has been received here
DR.. Hammann, who elaborated in
the important work of the foreign of

ton by Germany and her allies of a
peace offer dated back as far as Oc-
tober. AT that time the intention was
entertained Of making an honest and
sincere attempt to prevent further

entente's reply, he said:

few words, it is this: Instead Of talk

entente's deliberations took place on

allotted in the entente note, is the

point which up to now has not been

explained forcibly that already at

nitted their purpose to be able to |

Werp without hindrance, thus creating |
in Belgium a basis for operations in |

The Legislature
Should Take a Hand
Lebanon, McKendree College Town,
Scene of Riot by Wet Hoodlums

Nearly a score of persons were in
iured, some seriously, last week in
Lebanon, the McKendree college
town, in a riot which followed the To-
cal option election in which the vets
won by majority of 20.
The town had been dry for two
years, and the college faculty and
students exerted themselves to keep
it dry. When the wet victory was
announced, parade was formed
which marched to the college. The
students formed guard around the
building attempting to keep the riot
ers from marching on the campus. A
hand to hand fight started. stones
were hurled and revolvers drawn.
Professor Dolley and several others
who attempted to pacify the crowd
were struck several times with stones
and suffered severe bruises. The po-
lice finally arrived and dispersed the
crowd.
If the Legislature is not moved by
this incident to pass the pending bill
establishing a dry zone around Nc
Kendree College, it will merely go on
record as being bound hand and foot
by the liquor interests.

ATTENTION, LABOR!

The Rainier brewery of Portland,
Ore, is now tannery employing
1000 men, when it formerly employed
only $50.
The Portland Brewing Company,
Portland, Ore, employing 100 men,
is now furniture factory employing
500 men,.
The Pacific. Coast brewery, Port
land, Ore, is now a shoe factory en-
ploying $500 men, as against rs
when it was engaged in the manu-
facture of beer.
This is sample of what is taking
place all over the country. Lookl
These three breweries formerly gave
living to 381 men and their families
and at the same time put them in a
class looked down upon by the rest
of the world. These same institutions
now give better living to 1900 men
and furnish such employment as gives
them a sense of their hearts full of
joy.
