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 autocracy 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 squarely behind the Government in the
prosecution of the war to oictorious conclusion.
We regard the sacrifices we making, amounting
to many millions of dollars, as insignificant and in
consequential when think of the benefits that ,ou
accrue to the Dorld under the terms of the unselfsh
and aLtruistic war aims of the United States as
defined by our President r.. --.-...,..
The Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association is pre-
eminently the foremost and largest Institution of its
character in the ,oorH. 1t has plants cooering 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
conditions OiH permit, uiN be retained intact;
and after the war for Democracy shall haze been
won, 0e shall be engaged again in useful industry.
The AnheuserBusch plants are equivalent to a
city in themselves. They represent an invested
capital Of $60,000000 There are many modem
manufacturing units in the group of plants-one,
the new Bevo bottling and shipping plant. with
equipment, costing approximately 100000.
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 Municipal taxes
Anheuser-Busch employs at good wages from
5000 to $500 persons.
Anheuser-Busch industries support nearly
score of other useful industries of considerable
magnitude.
During the period that Anheuser-Busch is out
of active business, we shall take Necessary 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 financiers as good invest
ments, paying return Of nearly per cent.
Some professional agitators 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-credits such as the allied countries
enjoyed through the sale of their bonds.
The fact that this transaction wos 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 agitators reflecting the loyalty of Anheuser
Busch. ..4.e..--
Anheuser-Busch was founded upon the solid
rock Of Americanisrn and grew to be great insti-
tuition under the protection of American democ-
racy. The late Adolf hus 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 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
Ado phus 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 own honor, to
seroe the Government in bringing this var to uic-
torious conclusion.
We wish to express our gratitude TO our dealers
and the thousands of loyal friends whose cooper
alton and support have been 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.

been the victim, unfortunately, Of many such false
reports
In this connection we consider it opportune to
clearly define the attitude of this institution and
it's officers that there can be no further excuse for
Misrepresentation.
As an american institution founded by Aneri-
cans more than 60 years ago, and continuously
owned and operated by americans, >Anheuser-Busch
has Enthusiastically expressed its Americanism by sub
scrbing to more than 81, 600, 900 of Liberty Bonds
and the contribution of $500, 900 to the American

United States and the allied cause.

The truth is that these bonds were purchased
10 months before the United States declared war
on Germany, and at a time when there was no
thought that this country would become involved
in the war.

banks, trust companies and bond houses of the

The progress of General Pershing's 8

Americans not only have maintained
the positions won but have pushed

Summarizing the news for the last
week as excellent, General March
said offensives conducted by the AL
suited in a forward movement Of the

the solidarity of the Entente Allies on
the western front. The paper be-
means the lack in Germany of 'some-

Danger Of a moral collapse in
Germany evidently is foreseen, for
the Gazette says, "only one thing
could rob us of victory; the crum-

The most serious menace Of this
internal front is declared to be the

Copenhagen, Oct. 5.-The official

favor of Crown Prince Boris. The new

The abdication of King Ferdinand
was reported in Vienna advices yes

and Paris. There seems little reason
to doubt the correctness of the state
ment. King Ferdinand's popularity
with his people has been waning rap
idly since it became apparent to Bull

in p1unging the country into war on
