The Government conservation program makes
it necessary to suspend the beverage business Of
the Anheuser-Busch plants. We consider it a
privilege to cooperate with the Government in
making Its war program effective, and to comply
with every request and suggestion Of the Govern
ment to the end that German armies may be more
quickly defeated and German a~utocracy over
thrown-to the end that an enduring peace may
be established that will insure justice and protec-
ton to all nations and all peoples and make future
wars impossible.
We stand squuely behind the Government in the
prosecution Of the t0m TO q %Uictorious conclusion.
We regard the sacrifices we are making, amounting
to many millions of dollars, as Insignificant and in
consequential whcn we think of the benefits that wiH
accrue to the word under The terms of the unselfish
and %ahruistic wm aims of the United States as
defined BY our President.
The Anheuscr-Bu Brewing Association is pre-
eminenhy The foremost and largest Institution of its
character in the world. II hes plants coDering more
than Is city blocks in St. Louis, and branch houses
in many other cities and foreign countries. The buSi-
ness Of Anheuser-BuSch was world- wide. Its highly
efficient executive and sales organization, as far as
um conditions wiH permit, wN be retained intact;
and after the wG for Democracy shall haze been
won, we shall be engaged again in useful industry.
The Anheuser-Busch plants are equivalent to a
city in themselves. They represent an invested
capital Of $780, 0 900. There are many modern
manufacturing units in the group Of plants-one,
the new Bevo bottling and shipping plant, with
equipment, costing approximately $l0,O0O,OOO,
and being the best industrial plant of any char
acter in the world.
Anheuser-Busch pays annually more than
$4,000 900 in Federal, State and municipalities
Anheuser-Busch employs at good wages from
5000 to $500 persons.
Anheuser-Busch industries support nearly a
score of other useful industries Of considerable
magnitude.
During the period that Anheuser-Busch is out
of active business, we shall take ii Unnecessary steps
to protect the good name Of this institution, which
always has stood for 100 per cent integrity and
100 per cent efficiency. In the excitement of war
false reports and statements are circulated with
reckless disregard for truth. Anheuser-Busch has

United States and widely advertised in news,
papers, and sold with the full knowledge of the
Government. Many financial institutions, and
thousands Of loyal citizens, still own these bonds.
The bonds were sold by the same institutions
that sold French, English, Italian and other war
bonds. They were sold at "a cents on the dollar,
and recommended by f~nanciers as good invest
ments, paying a return of nearly 7 per cent.
Some professional a~gitators have undertaken to
make it 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 were to be
used to establish commercial credits for Germany
in this country-credis such as the allied countries
enjoyed through the sale of their bonds.
The fact that this transaction was in October,
1915, and that the United States did not declare
war on Germany until April, 1917, should set at
rest the ridiculous charges circulated principally BY
paid a~gitators rejecting on the loyalty of 4 nheuser-
Busch.
Anheuser-Busch was founded upon the solid
rock Of Americanism and grew to be a great insti-
tuition under the protection Of American democ-
racy. The late Adolphus Busch, for many years
its president, laid the foundations of the character
of Anheuser-Busch so broad and deep that this
institution always has represented in the industrial
world vastly more than a beverage industry. The
name of Anheuser-Busch has been associated with,
and will continue to be associated with, great
industries in various fields of manufacture,
finance, railroading, mining, hotel building and
operation, etc.
The intensely loyal organization, created by
Adolphus Busch, and strengthened under succeed
ing management, always will be found fighting to
uphold American ideals of government and
American principles Of fair play.
Anheuser-Busch is ready to sacrifice everything
except loyalty to country, and its 70 honor, to
serOe the Government in bringing this war to a Oic-
torious conclusion.
We wish to express our gratitude to our dealers
and the thousands of loyal friends whose cooper
alton and support have been an invaluable asset
to this institution. We assure them that after the
war Anheuser-Busch again will take its place
among the important and indispensable industrial
institutions of America.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1918-10-11

been the victim, unfortunately, of many such false
reports.
In this connection we consider it opportune to
so clearly define the attitude Of this institution and
its officers that there can be no further excuse for
Misrepresentation.
As an American institution, founded BY Ameri-
cans more than 90 years ago, and continuously
owned and operated BY Americans, AnheuSer-BuSch
has unmitaRa ably expressed its Americanism BY sub
scribing to more than S $1,000, 900 of Liberty Bonds
and The contribution of $500, 900 to the American
Red Cross and other ua relief organizations of the
United States and the allied cause.
Euery employee of Anheuser-Bu sch-more than
5000 in number-is a subscriber to Liberty Bonds
and a contributor to the Red Cross and other war
charities.

Mr.. Busch also has arranged to lease to the

The manufacturing facilities of the $60,00O,O0O

Of the Government is being speeded
up. Red tape is being cut at every
possible point. Under the direct d.
rection Of the President all of the
war agencies are hurrying their
work. The result will be manifest
very soon.
March Gives Warning.
"We must strip for action"
That was the official warning of
Acting Chief OF STAFF March today in
the light OF pressing appeals from
England. France, General Pershing,
and elsewhere for more ship space
for troops and army freight
In a statement explaining an or
der cutting down parcel shipments to
soldiers, March explained that "a
most urgent war necessity required
Limitation of such shipments. At
present they take up $50 tons ship

cells will be sent only on soldiers re-

While It is impossible 10 make any

reasonable time.
Gen. Leonard Wood Is anxious to
have men hurried across with less
training on this side than was &C
corded the nrst draft men.
Wood suggests that slow ships be
segregated in conveys. At present,
ships OF varying speeds are guarded
by speedy deStroyers. and the whole
convoy must be tuned down to accom-
modate the slowest ship. Segregation
of the slower ships would tend to
speed up the general troop movement,
Wood believes.
Opinion Differs on Training.
AS for shortening the period Of
training, there Is a clash of opinion
here. Wood thinks il well to train
the men overseas as much as possible,
as trench warfare may be
strapped and open fighting be re.
quired. Then the trench methods

opinion.

many Americans, also took q promi-

So far the Americans have not re-
ceived any information that the Ger

"a semi-offlciaI announcement was
made in Berlin on Wednesday that
the Germans were using their own
tanks as well as others captured from
