BEER AND THE WAR.

BEER AND THE WAR.
Save, save, save! These are words
that we face at every turn, says Cora
Stoddard in the Union Signal. Money
for Liberty loans; food for the, allies
and the war-tossed peoples; and for
the boys and youths who are to fight
the battle for democracy. Save!
Through all the grave or sometimes
gay aspects of this many-sided thrift
endeavor there recurs a Earring ele-
ment. Questions arise which will not
be silenced. What Of the money, the
food, the man-power involved In the
production and use Of beer?
We know from government statistics
that the amount of foodstuffs used In
making beer was greater in 1917 than
in 1916 or 1915. We knew the worlds
food supply was low yet we allowed the
brewers to use more foodfstuffs last
year than in either Of the two pre-
ceding years.

1918, but this still leaves an amount
Of food material to go into the brewery
watts, appalling under the circumstan-
ces.
Take the single item Of barley. The
barley used by American breweries last
year, if made into flour or sent into
France for bread, would have been
equal to the normal bread ration Of s.
100000 people for a year. This we
learn from no less an authority than
a new book on food written by Yer

100000 bushels of barley-bread
enough for our army many times over
or more than enough for all Belgium

Great Cereal Country.
The famous black soil Of Ukraine
covers three-Quarters Of the country.
To the north as well as In the Carpa-
THAN mountains are some 10000
square kilometers Of forest. The agri.
cultural soil covers SO per cent Of the
aggregate territory Of Ukraine and ~
per cent, If we take in the whole OF
European Russia, which is, however,
six times greater than Ukraine itself.
The annual production Of cereals In
Ukraine is two-thirds of the whole pro-
ductIon In the recent Russian empire
1t is greater than that Of Germany or
France. The expectation Of grains
from Ukraine amounts to n per cent
Of the production, and Of all the wheat
exported from Russia nine-tenths
comes from Ukrainian lands. AS a
matter Of fact, the trade Of Ukraine is
more developed than that Of any part
of all Russia.
Ukraine ranks highest among all the
countries that compose the vast Rus
sian empire as to the annual agricul'
tural production. Wheat barley and

In all these districts the Ukrainians
form from 70 to 80 per cent of the
total population, the rest being jews,
Poles and, lastly, Russians.
The Rurik dynasty founded Ukraine
When it disappeared, as all monarehies
must. the next organization that kept
the Ukraine lands together was the re-
public Of the Cossacks, whose domain
oyerlapped Lithuania and Poland, who
occupied much OF the Ukraine soil.
The Cossacks were organized some
thing on the lines of the chlvalry Of
western Europe. Their preeepts were
obedience, piety, chastity and equal
sly.

rye are the staple crops Of Russian az.
rlculture, and the annual production In
Ukraine of these grains amounts to
one-third of Russia's output. AS to
other farm products, Ukraine's position
is also conspicuous.
Beet root, for instance, is especially
cultivated in the Ukralnian provinces
of Podolia, Volhynia, Kieff and Kher-
son; those provinces together yield
five-sixths of the sugar beet produc-
tlon Of all Russia. Ukraine produces
almost all the tobacco Of the old em-
pire, and she has the largest and finest
orchards and vineyards of Russia.
The immense natural resources Of
Ukraine furnish splendid opportunity
for the development of manufacturing
Industries. AS a matter of fact, 60 per
cent of Russia's annual production Of
pig iron and IS per cent of Russia's
production Of steel come from Ukraine.

by the opponents Of the federal
amendment. They deplore the fact
that a big, populous state like New
York should count for no more than
a small, sparsely settled state like
Nevada in the matter Of ratification OF
the amendment. They go even far

in the history of the nation to make
such claim. AS has been logically

to the American system, it is inherent
in that system. If the principle in

against public policy, the way to rem

provides this method Of changing

denounce the provisions Of the article

Emil Podolin was arrested before. The
first arrest was made last Wednesday at
Fifty-second street and Girard avenue,
while he was trying to steal an auto
mobile, 1t is thought Captain Souder
said the machine had been planted
there by a prospective client OF the
syndicate and Podoln was going to
take 1t just to show how easily 1t could
be done.
When the lawyer was marched into
Captain Souder's Office last night he
was confronted by f. X. Snyder. TO
whom he is alleged to have broached
his scheme. Podolin, Snyder says. said
his plan was 100 per cent copproof."

intended to specify unqualified freedom
OF the seas outside territorial waters,
out only to stipulate that no single ma
ton shall restrict freedom, and that
when freedom is restricted II shall be
only by concrete Power enforcing in
ternational covenants. It is expected
that the President will approach what
may be differences in opinion rather
than OF principle and that he will rely
upon open-minded conferences snd
processes which will not involve unnec-
essary antagonism.
It is said to be his attitude that
neither the. United States nor the other
governments should assume the role of

then the determination of the method of
