COAL SUPPLY TO
BREWERS CUT BY
FUEL DIRECTOR
To Free for War Industry
Stocks of Coal Held by
Brewers.

WASHINGTON, July 11-A serious
blow to the manufacture Of beer has
been struck in the United States, not
by prohibition action in the congress,
but by an order today from the fuel
administration. acting with the food
administration and the War Industries
Boa rd
There may be beer in the country
for six months to year longer, but
after that time none until the fuel
situation improves. probably none un-
til the close OF the war. Then 1t will
be up to the congress again.
And with the passing of beer will
go all the near beer, the malt extracts
and other limitations made from GER
calls. The order is not a prohibition
measure in any way. 1t Is a conser-
walton proposition, and the first 100
per cent restriction on nonessential
industry. 1t will free the great stocks
of coal used by the cereal beverage
people for war industries, the huge
quantities of their cereals for strictly
food uses and their employees for work
in essestial industries.
1t will be followed by other 10 per
cent restrictions from the fuel ad-
ministration against nonessential in
dustries, in each case with the COOP
Grafton Of the War Industries Board,
and, where food materials are con.
cerned, Of the food administration.
To Care For Workers.
And in each case the United States
Employment Service will step in to
direct the future employment OF the
men thrown out of work by the shut
down.
The brewers recently had complet-
ed voluntary agreement with the
fuel administration by which they
would operate on a fifty-per-cent ba sis
getting half their normal supply OF
coal. BY the new order they will be
permitted to operate on this basis un-
til they have used the materials in
process Of manufacture. including malt
already manufactured. After this is
exhausted no more coal will be allow.
ed them, which means no more beer
or near-beer.
Estimates on their present supply
of manufactured malt indicate guam
tity sufficient to last six to ten
months. The cereal supplies Of the
near beers will not last so long, and
the dry states. where near beer is
permitted, will be out Of that beverage
before the wet states are out of beers.
This is merely another step in the
program of curtailment Of nonwar in
dustries," Fuel Administrator Garfield
said.
THE program was begun several
months ago. and is necessary in or
der that coal may be delivered imme-
diately to war industries and to sec.
tons OF the country remote from the
mines"
The brewery industry consumes ap-
proximately 100000 tons of coal a
year. Much Of this will be diverted
TO New England, which gets most Of
its coal by water and whose water
shipments at this time are far behind
schedule.

more of the ships company who were aboard the stricken transport when she drifted ashore is still unrevealed. In the hope of succoring those who sue ceeded in fighting their way ashore through the raging surf, a party of eight, including physicians, left here for point farther north, whence they embarked this morning for Islay island carrying clothing, medical and other supplies furnished by the American Red Cross. It will be a day or two perhaps before news is received of the outcome of the mission.
 Further details of the work done by a British destroyer in taking off from the Otranto and landing safely hun dreds of soldiers and sailors brought to this port, accentuate the remark able daring and skill of the rescuing craft. Even after the survivors had reached the deck of the destroyer their position continued desperate for moun- tainous waves repeatedly broke over the little vessel and according to re- ports swept about 30 persons over board. Others were saved from simi- lar fate by flashing themselves to tor pedo tubes and the destroyers super structure. For nearly 12 hours the survivors, all wet through and many badly injured, were exposed to the fury of the wind and the waves until the destroyer made port.
 Red Cross Immediately at Hand
 F'ifty-five survivors were hurried into ambulances and rushed to hospi- tals. Others were taken to British barracks where the American Red Cross quickly fitted them out with a complete change of clothing and II were given hot food and stimulants. Many of them were weak from the ex- posture and strain. Private Raymond Simpson died on the destroyer from injuries and was buried today.
 The Otranto was the flagship of a large convoy, including the Kashmire which as the result of a heavy gale became manageable. A thick rain closed in on the convoy Sunday morn- ing, off the coast of Ireland and about 9 o'clock, the Kashmir rammed the Otranto amidship.
 Although the Otranto's commander realized the ship probably was fatally 1 damaged, he ordered the other vessels to proceed, including the Kashmir which was able to continue under hel own steam and eventually made port | Waves Mountain High

pouring water, the big vessel was at the mercy of the waves and drifted rapidly before the storm.
 Soon the ship began to list and the soldiers and crew under perfect dis cipline moved in body to the other side, thus preventing the vessel from capsizing. Suddenly through the mist loomed small destroyer which had picked up the Otranto's distriss sig nals. The destroyer herself was partly disabled by engine trouble. Seven of the Otranto's boats were lowered to the water to act as a buffer for the destroyer, which with wonderful steamship maneuvered close to the steamers side.
 The order to abandon ship was given and the officer commanding the troops instructed the men to move their over coats and shoes. Scores then began leaping from the rails, 40 feet above to the destroyer's deck.
