AUSTRIAN MONARCHY WEAKER
Losing Authority, italian Embassy
Here Hears.

The Austrian situation as viewed in
Rome indicates that the monarchy is
losing authority. A dispatch to the
Italian embassy, reviewing conditions
says:
1.-THE ministerial crisis in Austria is
considered here as having an organic
Significance. 1t is noted that for the
first time in the history Of the dual en-
pire personal responsibilities and limita-
lions Of power are being discussed by
the German delegates and the Austrian
premier. 1t means that the monarchy is

Alaska's food administrator feels that much may be accomplished in the way of stimulating the production of sundry food commodities in var ious sections of the territory. The matter of raising sugar beets is being investigated. Certain sections reported excellent for the raising of asparagus and other like vegetables on a large scale will be investigated. It is hoped to accomplish much in the matter of increasing the reindeer herds of the territory and to have a greater quan- tity of Alaska's fine game animals used for meat substitutes. Conserving the waste and offal of the canneries by manufacturing by-products will re- ceive attention.

The United States food administra- tion is taking steps to mobilize for food administration work this year the graduating classes In women's and CO., educational colleges throughout the country.
 MT. Hoover is addressing the fol- lowing letter to the graduating wo' men:
 "The United States food administra- tion calls you to it's service. Our need is so great that we appeal to you to prepare yourselves as best you can and to enlist for the great work that must be done. There will be divers ity of tasks and therefore diversity of talent and training can be used, All our questions now centre in food, it's production, its distribution, it's use, its conservation. The more you know about these things the more valuable you will be and the greater will be your service to humanity. If you have not already done so we urge you to pursue studies dealing especially with food but these should be reinforced by courses in chemistry, physicology and economics.

 Senator smith said that efforts would be made to have his committee

 with a letter to Senator sheppard.

 As to the discussion over sup pression of brewing, said Z Mr. HooYer's statement supplemeutug his letter to Senator sheppard. i wish to say emphatcauy that from j strictly food conservation point of view 1 should like to see the use Of .oodsuEffs suppressed in all drinks, hard and soft.
 This is not, however. the whole story We stopped disulling a year ago. There is long supply oi whiskey gin and other 20 to 70 per cent distilled drinks in the country. We have reduced the consumption os foodstuff in brewing by thirty per cent and reduced the alcohol content of beer to 2 &-4 per cent If We stop brewing saloons of the country will still be open but confined priu- cipally to a whiskey and gin basis. Every true advicate of temperance and of national efficiency in these times will shrink from this situation for the national danger in it is grear- CT than the use of four million bushcl of grain monthly in the braWeries.
 "lf the American people want prJ- aibition it should protiht 1t by legis lation to that end and not force theI food administration to the responsi 1ihty of an ogre of drunkenness It| is mighty difficult to get drunk ouI 23-4 per cent beer It will be easy enough if we force a substitution of distilled drinks for it.
 The food administration has goneI as far as it can toward temperance without precipiiating a worse situa tion If the American people or con gress will stop the sale of distilladI liquors the administration will findI no difficulty in stopping brewing
 In his letter to Senator Sheppard Mir Hoover said no effort had been made to exercise the authority under the food control act to prohibit theI manufacture of wine because thel wines produced in this country arel from grapes Of which a very smnlli proportion are available as table orI raisin grapes and therefore tho s,op- page of wine making would add mol consequential amount of food to uu national supplies The conversion ol grapes to grape juice instead of Nino as suggested would add nothing col our national fOod supplies
