 In this connection consider 1t Opportune to so clearly define the attitude of this institution and it's officers that there can be no further for misrepresentation As an American institution founded by Americans than 60 years ago, and continuously owned and operated by Americans, Anheuser-Busch has unmis- takably expressed its Americanism by subscribing than $3OO000O of Liberty Bonds and the contri- button of 000 the American Red Cross and other relief organizations of the United States and the allied cause
 Every employe of Anheuser-Busch- than 6,0O0 in number-s subscriber Liberty Bonds and con- trbutor to the Red Cross and other war charities. As further contribution toward winning the war, August A. Busch president of Anheuser-Busch, upon Americas entry into the conflict voluntarily cancelled all commercial contracts of the Busch-Sulzer Bros. Diesel Engine Co., of which he is president and since
 that time the entire facilities of this plant have been exclusively devoted to the manufacture of zines for the submarines of the United States Navy The engines manufactured by this plant conceded to be the finest and perfect made anywhere in the world Mr. Busch also has arranged to lease to the Government for the perd of the onehd of the 26 of floor space of the new $10,000, 900 Bevo plant
 The manufacturing facilities of the S60000000 An heuserBusch plant in part entirety have been ten dered to the United States until the end of the war

 The truth is that these bonds purchased months TI,o+o cHoo1o at time when there was thought that this country would become involved in the war.
 The German bonds were sold by the principal banks trust companies and bond houses of the United States
Arizona republican., 1918-10-11

The Governments conservation program makes 1t nec- essary to suspend the beverage business of the Anheu Ser-Busch plants. We consider 1t privilege to operate with the Government in making it's program effective and to comply with every request and suggestion of the Government to the end that German armies may be more quickly defeated and German autocracy overthroWn-to the end that an during peace may be established that will insure justice and protection to all nations and all peoples and make future impossible
 We stand squarey behind the Government in the prosecution of the to victorious conclusion. We regard the sacrifices making, amounting to many millions of dollars insignificant and inconse- quenta when think of the benefits that will the world under the terms of the unsesh and arustic aims of the United States as defined by our President.
 The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association is pre-emi nenty the foremost and largest institution of its char acer in the world has plants covering than 75 city blocks in St. Louis, and branch houses in many other cities and foreign countries. The business of Anheuser-Busch worldwide.

 The bonds sold by the same institutions that sold French, English, Italian and other war bonds. They were sold at 84 cents the dollar and recommended by financiers good Investments paying return of nearly per cent.
 Some professional agitators have undertaken to make appear that Mr. Busch bought the German bonds to aid Germany in making war on the United States When these bonds were sold it was publicly announced that the funds to be used to establish commercial cred its for Germany Tn this countrycredits such the a
 lied countries enjoyed through the sale of their bonds The fact that this transaction was in October 1915 and that the United States did declare Germany until April, 1917, should set at rest the ridiculous charges circulated principally by paid agitators reflect ing on the loyalty of Anheuser-Busch
 Anheuser-Busch was founded upon the solid rock of Americanism and grew to be great institution under the protection of American democracy. The late Adophus Busch for many years it's president laid the foundations of the character of Anheuser-Busch so broad and deep that this institution always has repre- sented in the industrial world vastly than bever age industry. The name of Anheuser-Busch has been associated wh and will continue to be associated with great industries in various fields of manufacture finance, railroadng, mining, hotel building and opera tion etc.
 The intensely loyal organization created by Adolphus Busch and strengthened under succeeding manage ment always will be found fighting to uphold American ideals of government and American principles of fair play
 AnheuserBusch ready to sacrifice everything except
 loyalty to country and its own honor, to the Gov ernment in bringing this to victorious conclusion We wish to express gratitude to dealers and the thousands of loyal friends whose cooperation and SUD- thave been invaluable asset to this institution We assure them that after the Anheuser Busch again will take its place among the important and ndispens able industrial institutions of America. l. =

been killed in battle and whose
brother she sees march away. In

wounded soldiers back to GONZALES

terday with the thousands of visitors
to the resort All four concerts, the
first OF which began at $3.50 o'clock,

the city folk out into the open, made
the park doubly attractive. and the
biggest crowd OF the season was on
hand
The many amusement devices of
the park were in full swing, the only
feature not in evidence being the
dancing. Week nights the dancing
pavilion is always crowded from the
first strain of the ten-piece orchestra
