HUNS TRAWLER SCHEME.
MEETS PROMPT REBUFF
Navy Department Takes Action which
VIII Make Aiming of Captured
Fishing Vessels Useless.

Washington, Aug. 22.---The new Ger
man scheme OF converting captured
small craft into commerce raiders. as
reported to the navy department today
In the case of the trawler Triumph, is
being promptly met by a counter-of-
fensivo of the navy, and will soon dis
appear as a menace.
Admiral Benson, acting secretary ct
the navy. gave out tho following late
this afternoon
The navy department Ia inform ed
that the master Of the steam trawler
Triumph. who was landed with his
crew at Canso, n. s, stated that the
Triumph was captured by an enemy
submarine sixty miles south by west
of Cranberry Island about noon yes
terday and that two guns were mount
ed on the Triumph presumably for
the fishing feet
THE navy is taking steps to protect
fishing vessels and TO prevent any fur
Their damage by the alleged raider"
The navy department Is particu-
larly anxious, that as the issue be-
tween the converted trawler scheme
and the submarine hunters of the navy
Is to be settled very soon, none of
the plans OF the department be pub
lished
Officials commented severely on the
publication this morning and this at
ternoon of what purported to be tho
plans of the navy 10 block the Ger
man submarine menace.
It may be said, however, that the
system OF capture and conversion of
little ships by the Germans into war
ships cannot last long, and that there~
fore comparatively little damage can
be done TO the fishing fleet and small
vessels plying close to shore One of
the principal difficulties confronting
the G@wman plan ia that. while the
enemy may put rifles and possibly ma
chine guns on board the little prize
ships. 1t ia impossible for him to put
on guns that would he OF any effect

that In The NEXT draft, under the new

FALL IN MILWAUKEE
Present said 30 Re Favorable Time For
Quitting the Misunderstanding
Use of Plants.

Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. PA further
considerable reduction in the con-
sumption of beer In Milwaukee Is ex-
pected as a result of the advance in
price To ton cents a glass, The brew
ing industry here is shaken to its
foundations because OF the changes
that have come about since the war
started. One striking feature is the
recognized reduction In the value OF
brewery property. Three of the big
oreweries have been given reductions
In their tax assessments on buildings
and machinery. The Pabst assessm ent
was cut siS7 900, the BIatz $4,000 and
The Schlitz $279,0o0. The last named
has applied for further reduction Of
Sl72@,o00 on the ground of prospec-
tive shrinkaee In business due to the
orders of the fuel administration and
other war REGULATIONS.
W II Austin. counsel for the brew
ers of Milwaukee, declares that the
capital affected If the breweries are
thrown out of business by prohibition
of war regulations amounts to $780,
oeo09o About 5000 men are employed
in the Milwaukee breweries and about
4 90 men in the saloons of Milwaukee
county Despite this. it Ia recognized.
even by some Of the stoutest advocates
Of the hreweries. that II they are to
be closed eventually. now ia the most
advantageous time. The brewery own
ers could probably find profitable uses
for their hreweries now, better than In
times when there is less demand for
manufacturing. The men can find en-
ployment without question. Manager
Lippart. of the public employment Of
fee, states that he can place most OF
the men inside month. The bulk of
them could be absorbed by the fac
tories OF Milwaukee
