BEER BREWING
STOPS DECEMBER |
Food Administration Announces
Drastic Move.
AFFECTS OTHER BEVERAGES
The Breweries May Be Allowed To
Open Between December I AND
The Effective Operation Of
Nationwide Prohibition.

Washington.-Man of beer ii
the United States will be prohibited
after December next as war meas
ure.
This announcement was made by the
Food Administration, which said the
decision had been REACHED at confer
ences between President Wilson and
representatives of Fuel, Food and Rail
road administrations and the War In
dustries Board.
Factors which Influenced the decis
ion to prohibit the manufacture of beer
after December 1, the food admin
istration announcement said, were 1.-THE
further necessity of war industries fol
the whole fuel productive capacity o!
the country, the considerable drouth
which has materially affected the sup
ply of feeding-stuff for next year, the
strain upon transportation to handle
necessary industries and the shortage
of labor caused by enlargement of the
army program"
Warning also was issued to manu-
facturers of all beverage and mineral
waters that for the same reasons there
will be further great curtailment in
fuel for the manufacture of glass con.
tainAs, of tin plate for caps, of trans.
portation and of food products in such
beverages"
Action along this line, it was said,
had been expected by the brewing in.
terests in view of the Fuel Admin
istration's order of last July reduc.
ing coal consumption of breweries so
per cent. and a warning that they
might not be able to continue in bust
ness.
Under national prohibition legisla-
ton passed by the Senate and sent to
the House which enacted similar leg
islation last May, manufacture of beer
and wine would be prohibited after
May 1. Today's order will move up
six months the time for discontinuance
of the manufacture Of beer, although
the breweries may be allowed to re-
sumo operation between that date and
the effective operation of the dry legis-
lation, if finally enacted, since today's
order was until further orders"
The manufacturer of whisky was pro-
hibited last year and there have been
repeated demands in Congress that the
President exercise his wartime power
to stop the manufacture of beer as a
food conservation measure. The House
last May in adopting the Emergency
Agricultural Appropriation Bill attach
ed rider which provided that none of
the funds appropriated by the measure
should be used until the manufacture
of beer was discontinued.

MISKE THINKS

St. Paul Fighter Is Not

Height and Reach.

st. Paul, Jan. 15.-Fred Fulton m
torium in this city on Friday night.
Miske is taking light work :or the
fight and he will be in the very
pink" when the gong sounds.
Though he will meet an opponent
who towers above him and who will
outweigh him by more than fifty
pounds. Miske is very far from being
beaten before he enters the ring.
In fact he believes he has more
than an W chance to win. Here's
the way Miske sizes up his prospects.
"If l had not met and beaten Carl
Norris, | naturally should be nervous

7 beat Morris much more clearly
than Fulton did. Fred met Morris
three times and Il foul figured in all
three bouts. Fulton losing two Of
them. In one of them. the frs,
which I saw, Fred seemed to quit
cold. Fulton has a habit of losing
his head OF pulling something unex-
pected and not within the rules and
he is just as likely to do this against
me as against anyone else.
Il know he has IL wonderful left
hand, and expect he will hit me
often with it. But he is not going
to escape without punishment him
self, and it is when he gets punished
that Fulton seems to fight wildly. Z
expect to bring out this trait III the
auditorium. and. if Fred loses his
head. he will be as sood as beaten
right there.
Morris hits as hard as Fulton does
and l was able to take bis wallops
without going down. Fulton is UNI
derstood to lose heart when he is hit
hard. If this is so. he is going %
lose his courage against me, because
I know | am going to hit him hard"

ANTT-BOLSHEVIKI
FORCES ACTIVE.

London. Jan. 15.-Anti- BolsheviLi
parties in Russia, according to a dis
patch to the Daily News from Petro-
grad. are using the creation of a vol
unteer army by the Bolsheviki as the
basis of an energetic agitation to turn
the P~etrograd garrison against the
enine government.
Efforts also are being made to start
street demonstrations in favor OF the
constituent assembly. If the efforts
are successful. the dispatch adds, the
result will be anarchy, than which the
Germans could wish nothing better.
The constituent assembly is to meet
Friday. 1t seems probable that it
will contain a majority against thu
Bolsheviki and will try to replace
them by another government. Such
a government, the Daily News corre-
spondent says, would be infinitely less
dangerous as an antagonist OF Ger
many than the present one.
The correspondent, in reiteratine
his defense of Foreign Minister Trot-
zky and in d%eploring the fact that the
entente allies have not joined in the
Brest-itovsk negotiations, says that
the first real help given Trotzky in the
struggle is the message of Presidens
Wilson. which is also described as
;;the first allied utterance that shows
an imaginative understanding of the
situation"
