That money was placed there under

you when this traffic, doomed though

Brewers Are Unpatrotic.
And say another thing which is
appropriate to be said at this time in
this great hour of the country's
emergency, that the organized liquor
traffic of the country is a vicious in
terest, because is has been unpatri-
otic, because it has been pro-German
in it's sympathies and its conduct.

EXPLOITS OF FAMOUS
AIRMEN NOT PUBLISHED
British Consider It Would Be Un-
fair to Other Aviators Who Have
Not Had Opportunities.
Correspondence Of tho Associated rrcss.

Correspondence Of tho Associated Press.
LONDON, OCTOBER, 5.-British air
force authorities do not allow publ
cation Of stories of exploits of the
most successful British aviators using
the names, as in France and Ger
many. because it is considered unfair
to men who are doing fine work. but
who have not had opportunities for
winning many air victories. Also they
say the loss of famous aviator
creates a bad impression il the peo-
pie at home have been led to believe
that he is almost a superman.
This view also is taken by many Brit.
ish flying officers. One of them recently
wrote: Il go into the air perfectly
equipped to bring down Hun ma
chimes. A pilot on artillery observa-
ton or photography work goes ur
to do highly necessary job. and
perhaps has to spend several hours
over it, and in any case has other
work to do and cannot go strafing
however much he might like it. Why
should be advertised and glorified
any more than he is?' We both are
trying to do our job and nobody can
do more"
