CARS FOR. BEER

BEGS FOR COAL
Report of M. Z. Conference
Shows That 1,OSO,OOO Cars
Hauled Brewers Output
ALSO USE MUCH SUGAR
Liquor Interests Burn Much
Needed Fuel in Their
Plants
BY HSSoeidfci Press

Philadelphia, March 16.-The
Wiping out of the breweries of the
country and the absolute prohibition
of the manufacture of beer, is de-
manded in the temperance report
presented at to-day's meeting of the
131st Philadelphia Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
The report protested against the gov
ernmental order permitting the serv-
ing of liquor to soldiers and sailors
in the homes of friends as Il drastic
blow to the cause of sobriety and
efficiency in the Army and Navy.
The report says in part:
THE camou1lage of the liquor in
terests compels us to look upon dis
appointing and un-American picture
of nation of a hundred million peo-
pie baffled and almost impotent. The
largest corn crop in the history of
the United States is threatened with
rot for lack of cars for transporta
tion purposes. The coal tonnage of
the United States last year was
greater than that of all Europe. The
daily cry has been corn shortage,
wheat shortage, coal shortage We
have reason to believe that the co
famine and the corn rot danger Il.
largely due to the fact >that III 49,
the railroads of our land prostituted
l,uSU,UOU cars lOF llle transportation
of products utilized in the brewing
interests. Three millions of tons of
coal used up in producing the poison
stored in the booze watts of the land.
1t requires no special wisdom to fer
ret out the source of this threatened
corn rot and gigantic fuel outrage.
Grain Womb support Army
Last year the grain used in the
brewing of beer in the United States
was sufficient to support an army of
more than five million hard working
men for one year. The sugar used
amounted to 49,S10, 900 pounds in
1916. and the molasses worse than
wasted, amounted to 44,363,1 ,13S gal
Ions. Is 1t any wonder we face star
vation in Our country within the
next two years?
Imagine the power for good to
ours land and our allies if these L.
0SO,00O cars would have been used
in the transportation of corn, coal,
wheat and other essentials instead of
devoting them TO enriching the brew
er, pauperizing the people, making
towards of our sons, turning thou
sands insane and debauching the
nation"

FINAL action on the German peace
treaty apparently has not yet been
taken by the ALL Russian Congress
of Soviets at Moscow. While is
patches dated Thursday from Petro-
grad reported the Congress had de-
cided overwhelmingly to ratify the
treaty, advices from Moscow Friday
say there has been split in the
Council of Peoples commissaries
and indicate that Russia has not vet
been committed to the German

Bolshevik approval of the treaty
seemingly has aroused the members
OF the government belonging to the
part of the Social Revolutionists of
the Left who refuse to ratify it, The
Social Revolutionists are said to have
resolved to resign from the council
should the congress approve the
treaty. This probably means that
decisive action has not vet been
taken by the congress as a whole.

Americas attitude toward inter-

1t is known that the United States
