To the American People
The press has in the past few days given much
space to the fact that certain American brewers
loaned the sum of 1915 900 to MIR. Arthur Brisbane,
which sum he used in the purchase OF the WASH
ington Times
In many publications referring to this matter
the word German" is applied to the word Forever,
and there's continued and persistent effort to create
in the minds of readers the impression that the
brewers are class unpatriotic The attempt to
create and foster this impression is to give birth to
and nourish what is malicious and cowardly lie!
; MORE THAN NINETY-FIVE PER CENT
OF ALL THE BREWERS IN THE UNITED
STATES ARE AMERICAN BORN AND IN A
VERY LARGE PROPORTION OF CASES THEIR
PARENTS WERE AMERICAN BORN
What money they have, has been made in Amer
lean business and invested in America. Since the
beginning of the war brewers have been among the
largest purchasers of every Liberty Bond ISSUE the
total OF their subscriptions amounting to many mil
lions of dollars. They have contributed in large
amounts to the Red Cross and other activities.
Brewers themselves are wearing the uniform of
service and the sons and grandsons of brewers are
fighting under the Stars and Stripes.
In the many acts of dsoyalty discovered by the
Department of Justice prior to and during the war;
there is not single instance where any brewer
directly indirectly, has in any way been found
guilty Of any act which could be considered dis
loyal
Much publicity has been given to the fact that
before the commenced brewers of the country
contributed money to the German American ALI
ance for the purpose of contesting Prohibition Not
one single dollar was ever paid to the German
American Alliance by any brewer after the declara-
ton of war between Germany and our country
and this fact is we'll known to every man who has
investigated this subject.
has been shown and be that any
American brewer has contributed directly indirectly to the

To Investigate Scandal
Over Paroles AT Prison

Attorney General Brown is going to
investigate the parole scandal at the
state penitentiary, but not until after
he receives written assurance from
Governor Withycombe that the convicts
may talk freely to him without being
in the least danger of being discrim-
mated against by their keepers because
of information which they may di-
vulge.
The governors letter requesting the
attorney general to make the investiga-
ton of the alleged practice Of extorti
ing money from convicts who could be
forced to pay for their paroles was de-
livered to Mr.. Brown this morning. The
attorney general considered that it was
not sufficiently comprehensive to en-
able him to get at the bottom or the
situation at the prison, so he made the
request for written assurance that con-
victs who talked would not be discrim-
mated against.
Governor Withycombe is out of town
today, but his secretary, Chester Moores
said he felt certain the governor would
readily comply with the attorney gen
eral s request
