MICHIGAN SOON TO
BECOME "DRY" STATE
Over Three Thousand Saloons
and 81 Breweries to Be
Put Out of Action.

Detroit, Mich.-When Michigan goes
dry at midnight on April 30. ii total of
3.2S5 saloons in the state must go out
OF business and 80 breweries are pro-
hibited from manufacturing beer or
Intoxicating liquor. At the election in
November. 1915, the amendment pro-
viding FOR bone dry" state prohibition.
was adopted by a majority of nearly
$1,000.
Manufacturers and dealers of liquor
in. Michigan have had IS months to
dispose of heir stock and wind up their
employed 1000 men, while saloons had
a total of 6,3S7 persons. For several
weeks. saloon men have been taking up
other trades but the movement OF labor
from the breweries has not been pro-
nOunced.
Some OF the >breweries will manu-
facture soft drinks and others. it is
understood, will turn u u distilled pro-
ducts not prohibited by law. A~few
beer plants will he converted into ice
factories.
According to claims made by the
~Anti-Saloon league organization III
Michigan, approximately : 1885, 900
bushels of grain have been used in the
yearly output OF Michigan breweries.
The internal revenue report for the
year ended June Is. 1917. shaved that
2.33S.52l barrels Of beer were brewed
in Michigan that year. Each barrel
contained 81 gallons and it has been
estimated that u bushel of grain is
used to make a barrel of beer.
The latest figures from the census
department concerning the liquor in
dustry in Michigan give the following
details: Capital invested. $l2.3S4, 900;
salaries paid. s55S. 900; wages paid.
y.0773.QO0: cost Of materials. $e.421.-
900: value of products. 49, $40, 900; value
added by manufacturer, $7,419.00O.
One of the Ante Saloon league argu-
ments against the liquor industry in
Michigan has been the amount of coal
consumed. Last winter when Michigan
Industries were operated under strin-
gent local conservation rules, many
schools throughout the state, had to
close.
It has been claimed that Michigan
breweries used o than 100000 tons
Of coal during the last year covered
by the internal revenue report. This
estimate 10 pertly based on . statement
credited to Il. d. Leach. assistant State
fuel Administrator Of Ohio. who was
quoted q saying that reports indicated

of tho small boy with a megaphone AS big

While he army of story writer's in the
United States produces a very large out

age of it ever finds it's way into print. a
recent statement by Edward j. O'Brien,
of Boston. gives some impression of
bulk of these literary casualties.
Mr.. O'Brien reads the manuscripts of
from 1,60 to 1900 magazine stories every

total Of 1904. but l5 stories stood the

feels. are the best Of last year's-crop.
Thus less han 2 per cent Of the stories

Revival Of the Monitor.

A curious b~y.prOduct of the under

Augusta Nictorias looks belied the
rumors of severe mental and physician
prostration She put on a brave at
tempt al a smile when she arrived here,
but the drawn corners of her mouth be-
trayed the effects of her recent trials.
Also she shuddered little in encoun-

The baggage of the former empress,
enough TO warrant the assumption of a
prolonged stay, consisted of a number
of wicker baskets and boxes, probably
containing wine, marked imperial eel

dark tailor made, velvet dress and a
hat and veil which offset her album

OCCUPATION, Nov. 29.-(By courier
TO Nancy by the Associated Press)-

and there still known as sauerkraut,
has been served at many American
army messes during the week, five car
loads of the tasty edible having been
left behind by the withdrawal of the
German army The Americans on en-
tering Arlon, Belgium, last week found
a well-stocked supply depot which the
Germans had left intact owing to the
confusion of the retirement and lack OF
transportation. The five freight cars
were loaded with barrels of the picked
cabbage, each barrel weighing 800
pounds. 1t is now being distributed
among the messes of the various di-
visions.
In addition to the Liberty cabbage

several carloads of potatoes, many tons
of turnips and other perishables. These
also were distributed and aided many
mess sergeants in serving Thanksgiv-
ing dinners to the American troops.

PEkING, THURSDAY Nov. 2S.-tb by

ton of the victory over Germany
opened here today with review OF
the Chinese and allied troops by Presi-
dent Hsu Shih Chang. The huge square
fronting the throne room was 1llled
with two regiments of Chinese soldiers
and picked troops from the allied con-
tingents, presenting a magnificent
spectacle. The center of the square
was occupied by an American marine
band, thanked with three British sol
6iers and three Cossacks, carrying
their respective flags. Behind were
French and American troops, facing
japanese and Italian detachments.
The president passed through the
square under an arch of allied flags
and assembled the marble steps to the
throne room, followed by the dipio-
matte corps. Then to the accompani-
ment of a popular American war song,
the allied commanders and flags ap-
preached the president. the Italians

DEBS AGAIN ACCUSED

TOLEDO. o., Nov. 29-F'ederal au-

speech delivered by Eugene V. Debs at
a socialist meeting here on Wednes-

he asserted that the common people of

Local followers of Debs take the
stand that with the signing of the ar

that the speech could not be construed
as interfering with the military pro-
gram of the country.
Federal authorities are working on
the theory that the speech was made TO

Mating Is Affecting

AMERONGEN, Holland, Nov. %
(By the Associated Press) .-The meet
ing between the former German /em
peror and empress is declared to have
been affecting.
Although eye witnesses describe the
scene as surely worthy the painters
brush" no description of the reunion
of the once kaiser and his empress has
become public.
Count Won Bentinck. the host of the
former imperial couple, suavely points
out his delicate position and declines
to answer questions regarding Herr

ground that the Dutch government is
the host, and that he has no right TO
make known the details of the daily
life of the visitors.

be relied upon to keep their mouths

STILL DEMAND INVESTIGATION

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Julian W.
Mack, president of the Zionist organiza-
ton of America, and Louis Marshall,
president of the American Jewish com
mittee, issued a statement tonight, in
which they re-asserted their belief that
an impartial investigation would es-
tablish proof OF reported pogroms in
Poland. They Joined with the Polish
national defense committee and the
Polish national department in their de-
mand for the appointment of a special
commission by the American and al
lied governments to investigate the
charges.
The statement charaC terized as false
an intimation by Polish leaders that
the Jews are ininical to Polish indie
pendence, and declared the sole desire
of the Jews has been to secure equal
political, civil and religious rights.
