Prohibition Now
Sweeps France

Washington, Aug. 21.-The prohi-
bition wave has struck France-the
land of wines, champagnes. rum and
cognac. Backers of the demon"
once would have thought that France
would be the last country to sur
render to the ''drys," but the war
and especially the coming of the
American Army have wrought an
economic change that astounds
Frenchmen. Not the least unexpect-
ed feature of the case is the support
given by the French public.
Before the American Expedition
airy Forces began to arrive about a
year ago French barrooms kept open
at night as long as they wanted to or
as long as they had customers. The
American authorities, having in
charge troops which came from a
country which denied them the priv
ilege of drinking at any time, imme-
diately announced restrictions on i'm
,bibing for soldiers. The French civil
authorities followed suit and provid-
ed definite closing hours for all bar
rooms. In some cities this is as early
as 8 o'clock.
Drinking Time Limited
American soldiers are allowed to
drink only light wines and beer and
these must be consumed only be-
tween certain hours, generally be-
tween l and p. m. and $50 and q
p. m. The time for drinking varies in
different camps, depending upon the
occupation of the troops. Working
units may drink only after working
hours, while other outfits may have
an hour or so in the afternoon to
get thirst quencher between drills.

PRICES
BLAMED FOR
LACK OF FUEL
Speculation and Hoarding of
Coal Said to be Reasons
for Abnormal Condition.

many coal operators in the middle
west were materially increased by
coal prices fixed by the government,
the senate investigating committee
was told yesterday by Clifford Thorne,
study of the situation and David L..
Wing, an examiner of the federal
trade commission.
Much of the shortage of coal now
experienced Over the country was at
tributed by Thorne to excessive ship
ments to the northwest, the "tempta-
ton of operators to hold back for
higher prices" greatly increased con-
sumption, interference with distribu-
an Inadequate car supply.
Relief, the witness said. can be
brought about only through two
courses-government operation of the
mines Or purchase of the entire out
put Of the country. If neither is re-
possible, he said, by the government
buying the product of small mines in
which production costs are high.
Referring to a recent
ment by the fuel administration, on
profits to be allowed for new mines,
Mr.. Thorne said he did not believe it
wise to try to increase production by
| opSiAil6 lC" Il41ACo vi wv hlIlk lIlOSS
that have been idle as the high pro-
duction costs in such mines would
tend only to increase prices to the
consumers. He thought it would be
better to close many small mines now
operating at high cost.
Thorne told the committee the pub
lie had not had proper representation
in the matter of price fixing. and that
in general, and in the Illinois fields in
particular, prices allowed were much
too high. He said that. although con-
would have been profitable, many op-
orators declined to fill them, making
deliveries in most instances only at
government prices. This was done, he
said, despite the fact that it was stip-
ulated in the price-fixing plan that
contracts. then in force, should not
be affected.
