Special Despatch to THE SrS.

WASHINGTON. Sept. II. - President
Wilson has signed proclamation,
which will be issued tomorrow, ordering
all breweries to be closed down on De-
cember !. The President, under the
original Lever food law, was authorized
by Congress to forbid by proclamation
the use Of foodstuffs and fuel In the
brewing of malt beverages. The procla-
nation will be based on need Of con-
serving both food and fuel
While under the proclamation the
manufacture of beer will be suspended
on December bone dry prohibition
may yet be postponed considerably be-
yond the date fixed by the Senate, which
was July next. A change In tho
bone dry" amendment to the food pro-
ducton stimulation bill now under con-
sideration. It was learned. would post
pone the effectiveness of the bone dry
legislation to one year after the new
revenue bill becomes Il law. This would
in all probability postpone bone dry
war time prohibition until about Sovem-
Der /. 1919.
One of the main considerations at
work to postpone the effectiveness OF
prohibition Is not the so-called wet
element In Congress but those response
BILE for raising the money necessary TO
pay the war costs,
With the prospect of considerably en-
larged expenditures for the war during
the present and the next fiscal years 1t is
practically certain that the Senate will
have to add consumption taxes, sales
taxes and every other conceivable tax
which can be borne without imposing a
greater burden on business, and the
prospect OF losing more than 100000
900 annually in revenue is graver one
| to day than IL has been considered.

Wilson's formal note containing the
brief and fiat rejection Of the Austro-
Hungarian Governments suggestion
for the non binding confidential peace
conference was transmitted to w. A.
F.. Ekengren, the Swedish Minister,
here late this afternoon.
Mr.. EKengren despatched it to Vienna
via Stockholm after putting 1t In the

advised all American embassies and
legations abroad OF the reply and ca
bled in each case the brief text. With
this routine work done the curtain was
rung down on the first act OF the Ger
man Austrian peace offensive, so far
as the United States officially Is con-
cerned.
The Presidents prompt and effective
method Of dealing the death blow to
this first attempt of Teutonic diplo-
macy to use peace talk for their own
advantage brought forth unanimous
approval from all sides to-day. Diplo-

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-Authoritative
advices received by neutral Govern
ment direct from Moscow portray an
alarming and almost unbelievable con-
dition OF increasing chaos. All persons,
whether allied or American Nationals or
Russians. are in grave peril. The situa-
ton Of foreigners Is described as dan
gerous," but the situation of the Rus
slams themselves Is characterized as
tragic in the extreme
500 shot Within Few Days.
A campaign Of medieval barbarism
has been Initiated by the Bolsheviki In
vain attempt to check uprisings. So
called commissions against counter
revolutions have been formed and have
been responsible for the shooting Of
thousands without even the form of a
trial Persons whose political ideas are
believed to differ from those Of the
Bolshevik leaders are executed in cold
blood. Five hundred persons have been
shot within the last few days. according
to one report dated September 8.
One feature OF the campaign OF ter
ror!sm Is the publication of the names
of persons executed in the Bolshevik
those backing the German Bolshevik
propaganda. have been forclbly sup
pressed. Together with the names OF
persons already executed there are pub
lished long lists of so-called "candi-
dates for future execution" These per-
sons are warned that they are next on
the lists. that action will be taken inn
mediately after any further attempt
against Bolshevik rule.
German CoIIusion Apparent.
The question Of whether the persons
are innocent or not does not enter into
the scheme OF the Bolsheviki. There
are evid Of German Bolshevik col
fusion in this campaign of terrorism
though this feature Is not touched on
In the reports. The Bolsheviki appear
to be attempting to use the methods
of barbarism which the Germans en-
ployed in Belgium and are presumably
being advised by the German military
authorities as to how to proceed.
House to house searches are being
made in efforts to find evidence against
persons who might he considered dan.
gerous to Bolshevik power. A particular
campaign against the well-to-do is be
| ing enforced.
Meanwhile the Socialistic element
which opposed the Gar IL steadily ris
| ing against the Bolsheviki. The assas-
sination OF Uritzky and the attempt or
the life of Lenine are attributed to this
Socialistic uprising. The fact that al

pressed accounts for the lack OF infor
