Mr.. Austin represents eleven brewers
IN Milwaukee and sixty-five in the
state.
"At the present rate Of consumption
the stocks Of beer now on hand should
last about two months after production
ceases, or until about February H. he
said.
II do not think that tho brewery
plants will be available for, any kind
of war production. Not only fs the
machinery useless, but the buildings
themselves are not adapted to new
kfnds Of work. The interiors would
nave to be entirely torn out, and even
the outer walls would not be suitable.
because Of the lack of outside
windows. I think the. breweries will
stand idle.
Nothing can be said for the present
concerning the reinvestment Of capital
The brewers lave made no plans"
milwaukee has eighteen hundred
saloons, which pay 100000 in license
money annually. In Milwaukee brew
eries there are hundreds Of men who
nave been in the same work for twenty
1--WE years or longer and are unframed
for other lines. Hundreds of women
ana girls are employed in the bottlinp
departments in Milwaukee breweries.
1t is estimated that between $4,000
600 and $15,000,0O0 is paid Wisconsin,

Nineteen St. Louis
Bre1Ueries Haze
10000 Employees

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 30.-Nineteen brew
cries, employing about 10000 men, are
expected to discontinue business in St.
Louis tomorrow, when the food ad-
ministration's order prohibiting manu-
facture of beer and other malt liquors
goes into effect.
Not only will the closing of the
breweries release 10000 men for other
employment, but 400 of the 1900
saloons in St. Louis are expected to
be closed on January g. The remainder
probably will be closed in few months
after that date. 1t is estimated that
the beer on hand when the breweries
close will last from two to four
months
Hugo Koehler, president of the Inde-
pendent Breweries Company, said it
would be impossible to convert all the
plants Of the nineteen st. Louis brew
cries to other industrial uses without
government aid or Intervention.
August A. Busch, head of the Busch
interests, said the company had not
formulated any plans for the future.
He said he expected to devote his own
time to his farm. The government al
ready has taken over part of the soft
drink plant of that company.
Three of the breweries in the city
have not been in operation for the last
three months All breweries are now
invoicing stock. John p. Pensa, presi-
dent of the Liquor Dealers Association,
said that no saloon licenses will be re-
newed. He added that 400 licenses ex-
rire January 3 and that the other
saloons will close as their licenses

Harvard Military Team
Real Crimson Eleven

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 80
Harvard's military football eleven, al
though run by the S. A. 7. c. is much
more a Harvard football team than the
Crimson alumni might imagine. The
great Harvard following have entirely
neglected cne fortunes Of the Harvard
Service Team, the spectators running
to students Of the college and few
outsiders.
J Fiske Brown, a freshman, and j.
Stanley Coleman, a Junior, who played
the positions of guards, are both Har-
ward men. jim McManmon and
Charley Macomber. the tackles, are
enrolled as special students, although
they are prospective freshmen. Dennis
and Captain Daley, the ends, were out
of football for seven years before
joining the Harvard team, and they
are going back to business. Frank
Russo, the centre, will probably go to
Penn State.
Arthur Conlon, the alert quarter
back, viii remain at Harvard if he
can get the necessary funds, and Ned
Gehrke is in the same fix. Both boys
now that the S. A. I. c. is to quit,
have applied for regular admission to
the college. Ben Zimmerman is fresh
man, and Bobby Hoffman, a senior.

Japan's $ Cabinet Is
Hailed as Advent
Of Popular Rule
Premier Hara Chosen Be-
cause He Was Leader of
Majority Party

TOXIC, Oct. 20. Correspondence Of
The Associated Press The new Cabi-
net headed by Takashi Hara is hailed
as marking the advent of popular gov
ernment in Japan. For fifty years the
champions of representative govern
ment have, been struggling or a
system under which the Premier would
be selected for that post because he
was the leader of tNc majority party
in the House of RepJes natives. This
was accomplished when Mr.. Hara was
chosen.
During that half century the gov
ernment has been in the hands of clans
and court circles generally styled bu-
reaucratic. On the other hand Mr..
Hara is commoner He has selected
as members of his Cabinet those Of
this party, introducing bureaucrats
only as ministers of war and navy, who
from army and naval circles
"My ideal has at last been realized" :"
exclaimed Marquis Okuma, Japan's
grand old man" who has labored al
ways for the cause of democratic gov
crnment "The whole nation should
support the Hara ministry if they are
really desrous of the developments of
constitutional politics in Japan. Ja-
pan should have new men, young and
vigorous, who are able to handle i'm
portant affairs of state"
One of the first decisions adopted by
the new Cabinet was to abolish the
custom of detailing detectives to ac-
ministers wherever they
might go and the opening of the min
isterial apartments so that the people
might have freer access to them.
Nh. Hara's striking features are his
large eyes and mass Of white hair.
He is sparing of words and speaks
straight to the point, looking one
straight in the eye with frankness.

Restore Gold Standard
British Committee Recon-

Expansion

LONDON, Nov 80, - Conditions
necessary to the maintenance Of an eff
tective gold standard SHOULD be re-
stored without delay after the terms of
peace are signed, reports g committee
headed by Iord Gun nhafs,. which was
appointed to consider currency and for
eign exchange problems after the war.
The committee said:
UNLESS the machinery which lone
experience has shown to be the only eff
tectlve remedy for an adverse balance
OF trade and an undue growth ofscredit
Is once more brought into play, there
Will be grave dal ger of progressive
credit expansion which will result in a
foreign drain Of gold menacing the con-
vertibility of our issue and so jeopar-
dizing the international trade position
of the country"
To maintain the gold standard the
committee recommended cessation Of
government borrowing as soon as pos
sible, establishment of an adequate
sinking fund out of the revenues and
the raising of the Bank Of England dis
count rates.

the necessity of rationing its ancient

Brewers Appeal Fails
The special committee which recon-
mended President Wilson'S proclama-
tion stopping brewing after November
80 yesterday refused 20 consider the
appeal Of brewers.
The breweries will not be permitted
to utilize the 100000 unbrewed BUSH
els Of malt in their storehouses, and
the arnstice was not accepted as an
excuse for modifying the prohibition
measure.
One hope was held out to beer con-
sumers, however It was pointed out
by brewers that the ban on malt prod
ucts was war measure, and with the
actual signing of peace terms the Pres
ident's order should become automati-
cally nonresident. Local brewers
would not say what action they are
planning but it is understood that at
torneys will take up the legal phase
of the question and try to show that
the government lacks an arbitrary
power to enforce such ruling in times
of peace.
Trained Men Retained
In the meanwhile it was stated that
the majority OF brewerics will retain
ed in some instances by the manufact-
ure of soft drinks, while in almost
every other case trained men will be
kept on the payroll in anticipation of
a speedy return to old conditions.
The New York breweries employ
nearly 5000 men, and approximately
$4,000 work in the 1,200 breweries Of
the United States. The value of New
Yo/ brewing property is estimated at
5000, 100000.
There are, said to be nearly 100000
beer drinkers in the greater city, with
a supply of a little more than thirty
gallons each left on hand against the
looming dry and dusty season. Saloon
keepers say that thirty gallons of beer
should provide an ordinary consumer
with his favorite beverage for period
of about four months.
AS the supply djminishes, an increase
in price is predicted. Future taxation
also will be g factor in the regula-
ton of beer cost. Large beers are ex-
pected to dwindle in perspective and
short beers will continue to lose
stature.

Queen Alexandra never encouraged
matchmaking for her daughters, nor
Queen Mary for hers.

altered and the prince was directed to
