u. S. TRANSPORT
Although Mt. Vernon Was Torpedoed
She Reached Port Safely.

Washington. Sept e. - News
reached the Navy Department today
that the American transport Mount
Vernon, homeward bound, has been
torpedoed by an enemy submarine
two hundred miles off the French
Coast, but had turned back and ar
rived safely at French port
The Mount Vernon formerly was
the North German Lloyd liner kron-
prinzessin Cecilie. She had no mill
tary unit on board and is supposed
to have carried only a small number
of casuals, in addition to her crew.
The Mount Vernon. early in the
war. while still under German control,
started TO dash across the Atlantic
with a cargo of gold, but put back
to Bar Harbor. where she was libeled.
This kept her on the American side
until the United States declared war,
when she was taken over as troop
ship.

Briton Frees Cat Nailed to Door,
Slain by Hun Bomb.

| London, September 7.-Thc. Morn
ing Post publishes the following in
cident which occurred during the re-
cent advance al the british troops
through a French town just evacuated
by the Germans. and which shows the
fiendish ingenuity and hcartless cruel
ty OF the enemy:
On the door of one of the houses
was found "a kitten, hanging by its
iorepaws. which had been nailed to
the door. The suffering animal, which
nigh, have been there at least al
hour, was mewing piteously in its
agony and struggling desperately with
its hindlegs to release itself.
With natural instinct OF pity for
suffering dumb animals, one British.
soldier started Immediately to release
the kitten. He pulled out the. nails
that pierced its paws.
The moment he did SO there was a
flash and a roar and his nutilated
dislnembered body was flung across
the street. The withdrawal of the
nails had set oil a hidden charge of
explosives.
The retreating Germans had baited
the trap with the kitten, calculating
that such an appeal to British human
i,y would be irresistable; and they
Were right.
Nothing" says the correspondent,
more typical OF the devlish ingenuity
ui the German mind has been encoun-
tered i'll d long while

CUT OFF BEER DECEMBER
President Wilson DEGREES Cessation
Of Brewing and Purchase OF
Unmalted Grains.

Washington, Sept. 6.-President
Wilson tonight dccrecd the cessation
of the brewing of beer and all other
malt liquors on December 1, next.
and the immediate suspension of the
purchase of unmalted grains for brew
ing
The step is based upon the need of
conserving grain for stock feed, the
supply Of which has been diminished
by drought; of conserving fuel; of les
SEEMING the transportation burden of
the railways, and of diverting the
labor Of nonesscntial industry to use,
incidental to the conduct of the war
AS result of the Presidents action
the supply of malt liquors is likely to
be exhausted before the country goes
bone dry July 1, next. for the period
of the war, under the terms of the bill
passed by the Senate today.
The manufacturers of soft drinks
and other beverages and the bottlcrs
of mineral waters are also warned
that they also will suffer curtailment
of fuel and containers. Breweries and
other plants thus put out of business
will be utilized by the government, so
far as possible, for was purposes.

beer, which have developed flourish

it was said officially today, arc just as
much affected by the decision to cut
off brewing of beer as those who
make beer.
Millions of dollars have been in
vested in the business. One of the
largest breweries in the country re-
Gently erected an additional million
dollar plant solely for the brewing OF
this beverage.
The principal uses breweries can
be converted to are the manufacture
of ice, cold storage, making of yeast
for baking, rolling barley and grind
ing grains for mill feed All these
purposes would likely be considered
essential to the war or to the civil
population.
