WAR MAY MAKE
UNITED STATES DRY
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Eff tho war
lasts a couple of years more America Is
apt 10 run out Of hard Lqu0, bAO.e
10 runs into national prohibition sta
tistlcs showed today.
Fol- bldden TO d.st4u anymore until the
war ends. the liquor men fear that
thousands Of swinging doors will close
as ea.l ly as Janua.y 4. 1919, and mat
even before then liquor may go so high
that nobody can AFFORD 70 get full but a
millionaire.
Already hundreds OF saloons have
closed because OF high liquor prices and
the heavy taxes.
According to records compiled at the
ofilce Of The. internal revenue commits
sioner today there were approximately
100000 gallons OF distilled liquor held
in bonded warehouses az the end OF
January
The daily rate Of withdrawal at pres
ent will exceed this amount In little
more than a year.
The demand for alcohol for CONNER
cial purposes has increased, but thai
has been more than balanced by the
manufacturing substitutes and by the
Governments distillaiion.
The announcement of the small ex-
istlng stock Of distilled liquor gave sup
porters Of the prohibition cause added
courage They counted on this as one
means by which prohibition might be
accomplished even before recalcitrani
legislatures could be lined up TO vote
on the national amendment.
