ITALY Is FAVoRITTG.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-Everyone In
London is doing honor to Italy.
In restaurants the principal dish on
the carte du jour is macaroni, and
people who never have attempted
that delicacy before are now entang-
ling their mouths in coils of it, under
the impression that they are paying
compliment to Italy.
The lunchers beam on the Italian
walters and the Italian walters beam
back on their customers.
The effect of Italy's showing in the
war is evident everywhere. Even the,
Italian organ grinders are having
coins showered on them in unprece-
dented fashion.
At present it looks as II the Italian
cult has come to stay.

Both houses of congress today

Senator Stone succumbed to a

Senator Stones death removed

chairman Of the foreign relations
committee, he held great power.
He also was a member of the im-

had much to do with shaping the
war tax bill recently enacted.
Senator Stone was serving his
third term in the senate and his
sixth in congress. He was in the
house three terms and came to
the senate in 1908, succeeding
George Graham Vest. He also
was governor of Missouri and had
served many years on the demo-
cratic national committee.
Stone long opposed the war be-

President Wilson was engineered

NEAR BEERPRODUCERS
HIT BY DRY" DECISION

Manufacturers Of near beers and
substitutes for beer. who have devel-
oped fourishing business In prohi-
bition territory, 1t was omcially ex-
planned yesterday, are just as much
affected by the decision to cut of
brewing Of beer as those who make
the actual beverage. Millions Of dol
lars have been invested in the busi-
ness.
One Of the largest breweries in the
country recently erected an additional
million dollar plant solely for the
brewing Of this beverage.
The principal uses breweries can be
converted to are the manufacture Of
ice. cold storage. making Of yeast for
baking, rolling barley and grinding
grains for mill feed. All these pur-
poses would likely be considered es-
sential to the war or to the civil popu-
lation.
Manufacture Of all other beverages Of
the so-called soft variety some
months ago was curtailed SO per cent
by the food administration as q sugar
conservation measure. Further curtatl-
ment Of the manufacture Of such bever-
ages and mineral waters are under con-
sideration, and may take the form Of
further reducing supplies of sugar, fuel,
materials for containers. and food prod
ucts and limiting transportation facil-
