BEER AND WINE vs.. WHISKY.
Hoover Preserves Lesser Of Two Evils
-Manufaeture Continues.

-Manufaeture Continues.
Washington, June administration
opposition to any attempt to stop the
manufacture Of beer and wine so long
as the sale Of whisky is permitted was
made certain yesterday with the an
nouncement that Food Administrator
Hoover opposed such step because
he believed the evils attendant upon
putting the naAon on a whisky. bran
dy and gin" basis would far outweigh
the small food savings that would re-
suit.
President Wilson had already stated
in letter to Senator Sheppard, OF
Texas, probition champion, that he
would not use his power to prohibit
the use Of foodstuffs in beer and wine
unless Mr.. Hoover regarded such q
step necessary.
After the position Of the president
and the food administration had been
made known Senator Sheppard and
others said the senate would strike
from the $11,0O0.000 emergency agri-
cultural bill house amendment pro-
hibitfng the use of some 100000 900 car
ried by the measure unless manufac-
the president.
Mr.. Hoover explained his position
in a statement made public along with
his letter to Senator Sheppard. He
declared that from a strictly food con-
servation viewpoint he would like to
see the use Of foodstuffs suppressed in
all drinks, hard or soft"
The statement continues:
I'VE have reduced the consumption
of foodstuffs in brewing by 80 per cent
and reduced the alcohol content of
beer to 2& per cent. If we stop brew
ing the saloons will be confined prac-
tically to a whisky and gin basis Any
true advocate of temperance and Of ma
tional efficiency will shrink from this
situation, for the national danger in it
is greater than the use OF 1000, 900
bushels of grain monthly in the brew
cries.
IF the American people want pro.
hibition it should prohibit by legisla-
ton to that end and not force the food
administration to the responsibility for
an orgy OF drunkenness. The food ad-
ministration has gone as far as it can
towards temperance without precipi-
tating worse situation"
In his letter Mr.. Hoover said no eff
fort had been made to exercise the au-
thority under the food control act to
prohibit the manufacture Of wine be-
cause 1.-The wines produced in this coun-
try are from grapes of which a very
small proportion are available as table
or raisin grapes"

Hindenburg.

Evidently rumors that were circu-
lated some time ago that Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg was dead have
gained currency in Germany, without
any definite and tangible token of de-
NAL. According to an Amsterdam dis
patch, members of the fatherland party
in Reichenberg, Bohemia, recently
sent him telegram asking for some
sign that he was alive, in order to
end the reports of his death. His re-
ply, it is stated. was II am as right as
trivet and looking calmly to the
future" This doubtless satisfies the
Bohemian inquirers. but recent events
on the western front may cause some
Germans to feel that if Hindenburg is
really alive and "right as a trivet" he
has lost something of the military ca
pacity that caused him to be set up as
the idol of the German people.
Whether the disasters suffered by Ger
many on the western front during the
past six weeks have been due in any
measure to Hindenburg's failure is, of
course, a question for military men to
determine The reverses which began
on the 18th of July and are continuing
from day to day may have been be-
yond the power of the greatest COM
mander to prevent. Certainly linden
burg could not check the flow of
American troops that gave Foch bal
ance of man power. And it is also
probable that not even Hindenburg,
with his undeniable genius, could pre-
vent the Generalization that has been
in progress in the German ranks. There
is tradition in Germany that linden

what he would do when the tide of

Fair Prices.

"Fair price lists" are issued regu-
laHy by the local food administration,
giving maximum and minimum prices
that may be charged by retailers. Com
plaint has been made that maximum
prices prevail, and that minimums are
extremely rare. The food admins
traitor has now issued a rule to the
effect that "Only those dealers who
buy at the top wholesale prices should
sell at the top prices to consumers
1t is understood that dealers found
guilty of violating this rule will be
punished, although they abide by the
price lists, and the suggestion is made
that if consumers charged the maximum
price have reason to believe that the
dealer paid the minimum or slightly
above the minimum they should notify
the food administration so that the
dealers prices may be examined.
1t is difficult to see how the con-
sumer can know what the dealer paid
for his goods. If he questions the
dealer he may or may not be given
a correct answer. He may not be given
any answer, though in such case sus-
picion is naturally engendered that the
minimum price has been paid. It
would seem to be up to the food ad-
ministration, upon notification that
certain dealers are Systematically
charging the maximum prices, to ask
for the invoices, and not put the bur
den of proof upon the consumer.
Cooperation on the part of the con-
sumer is necessary in. any case, how
ever. If he feels that he is not being
charged fairly he should make report
Of the fact, but the inquiry as to the
Wholesale price paid should be made
by the food administration and not
by the consumer. knowledge that the
wholesale prices paid by the retailer
are subject to Investigation at any time
will have the effect of keeping the
prices down through fear that at any
time inquiry may reveal unfairness,
with consequent loss of license.
