CLOTHING AND LEATHER
ARE SCARCE IN GERMANY

NEW YORK, June 22.-~The scarcity
of clothing in Germany has resulted
in an order that all municipalities
negotiate with societies for the util-
ization of materials used for hall dec
orations, says the Berlin Tageblatt
The imperial clothing board has been
forced to deny the applications of
communities for the delivery of cloth
ing and linen for the city children
sent to the country because of the
scarcity of supplies. Worn footwear
and old leather may be sold only to
persons and boards designated by the
imperial board for shoe supply. The
same holds good as to all finished
goods in whole or in part of leather
such as trunks and hat boxes, foot
balls, dice boxes, saddles, school KNAPP
sacks, harnesses, and card cases.

EQULA SUFFRAGE DEFEAT
BARS SOLDIERS VOTES

NEW YORK, June 22.-"To the vic
tors of Armentieres the electrical com
mittee, of the Prussian three class
house has given it's thanks in re-
sounding boxing of the ears" says the
Berlin Vorwaerts in commenting on
the committees rejection of the equal
suffrage plan.
All war reports praise the sacri-
flee and obstinacy with which the
brave men of the west blazed way
through the impossible mud and the
crater fields. What that costs in
sweat and blood no one can conceive.
On the other side of the crater field,
however, they wait not for the Eng
lish but for the Prussian reaction
aries to push them into another mud
field, into the slough of political dis
acknowledgment.
For this sarcasm and fraud prac-
ticed on an entire people the only
slogan can be fight to the utmost
Equal suffrage must be carried
through the slough of reaction. We
face the fight with good cheer.
Those in the front cannot defend
themselves against the insult COM
mitted against them by those who
walled hypocritically because the cleo
toral reform was being prepared with
out the help of the field gray and who
now are forging an electoral reform

MILLIONS MADE
THROUGH CLOSE
Of D|ST|LLER|ES

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 22.-War
and Kentucky whisky have produced
number of millionaires The story
of its accomplishment forms an in
teresting chapter in present day his
tory.
Eight months ago distillers we're
gloomy over the prospect of ruin as
the result of enforced closing of their
plants for period of two years and
the aggressive advance of the prohi-
bition movement. Today, through
whisky price advancement, according
to statements made in the Louisville
wholesale liquor district, practically
all have become well-to-do, or have
been thrust into the millionaire class.
About twenty men in Louisville alone
are said to have become wealthy as
result of an advance of approx
mately $3.50 per gallon in whisky
prices since September 1 of last year.
One man, long identified with the
whisky business, said that whisky
owners and dealers who have held
supplies have made money so fast that
they hardly know what to do with it.
One of them, he said, has made ar
rangements to provide annuities for
certain of his older employees.
Retailers say that the consumer
must settle the bill, and that over
the-bar customers are not only paying
more in cash in many cities, but are
getting less for their money
One Louisville plant had 10000 bar
rels when prices began soaring, If
the owners have retained it they will
| realize a profit of about $3,525,000.
Another distiller is reported to have
$4,000 barrels, which at present prices
would yield him $5,875,000. Still am
other, it is said, had $4,000 barrels,
now worth $2,937,5O0. Five others are
reported to have holdings which would
net them $2,350,000 each, or a total
profit of $11,750,OOO One dealer is
said to have cleared $2,500,OOo alone.
Many small dealers who held from
100 to 200 barrels have cleaned up
from $4,000 to $4,000 each. The In
Dictated holdings of the men and firms
aggregate approximately 100000 bar
rels of whisky of forty-seven gallons
each, or 100000 gallons, on which,
it is currently reported, they have
realized S35, 259,O00. Many are hold
ing their stock for even higher prices. |
The report of the internal revenue
department shows that there were in
bond in the United States on july
81, 1917, 193,673,000 gallons of whisky.
OF this total there was in Kentucky
108,321, 1923 gallons. March 1 of this
year there was in bond in the United
States 7S,4040O0 gallons, and in Ken
lucky at that time there was 9S,492,-
900 gallons, thus showing a with
drawal in the country during that pc
riod of 15,2S9,0OO gallons, and de-
crease in Kentucky of T0,S29,723 gal
Ions.
When the law closing distiIIeries
became effective it was estimated
that there was a supply which would
last for two years or more, but the
withdrawal rate which began this
spring, it is estimated, will depIete
the supply in a year. During March
there was taken from bond more than
100000 gallons.
Last September the price of whisky
in bond ranged from SO to 80 cents
gallon. Later in the fall it rose to
81. At this record price one distiller
sold approximately $4,000 barrels.
Now the price stands at $305 per gal
lon.
