COUNTRY BEER Dry MAY |
Prediction Made by President Of Unit
ed BreWers' Association.

Newark N. J., Feb. 22.-Prediction
that the nations beer supply would be
exhausted by May 1, was made in a
statement issued by Christian w. Fei-
genspan. president OF the United
States Brewers association, announc-
ing that the breweries of this vicinity
had agreed to pool their supplies ito
allow each concern to stay in business
~ long as possible" After adding that
New York, New Jersey, Massachu.
setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut
would be beer dry" by April 4, the
statement continued: with the coun
try dry Of beer by May !, you can
see what 1t will mean for May and
June. The country will be on a
straight whisky basis, and In these
days OF unrest 1t Is dangerous to have
steady beer drinkers switch to whisky.
The results may surprise people,"

Bavarian Premier, Ebert's Princi'
pal Opponent, Is Victim of
ASSassin's Bullet.
MURDERER is WOUNDED
Count A%ncouviIle, Who Took officials
Life Severely Hurt by Guard
6ureaucrats Still In Power
in Germany

London, Feb. 22.-Kurt Eisner, pre-
mier of Bavaria, was shot and killed,
according to a Munich dispatch re-
ceived In Amsterdam, by Lieutenant
Count Arcouville. The count was
wounded severely by a guard and is
reported to be dying.
Since the killing of Karl Liebknecht
by a mob In Berlin, Kurt Eisner has
been the chief opponent of the Ebert
S~cheidemann or majority socialist ele-
ment in Germany.
Eisner took strong ground last fall
against the German junkers and as
serted he would prove from official
records the former kaiser's govern
ment deliberately provoked the world
war.
Hugo Haase. minority socialist and
foreign minister In the Ebert cabinet,
made declarations similar to Eisner's.
Haase was forced to resign.
Bureaucrats Still In Power.
Paris, Feb. 22."The German gov
eminent Is the same bureaucratic re-
gime of the kaiser's day, with the
SaAAiO attituuC toWalu idbOI dhu Gdpt-
tai and does not represent the forces
which caused the revolution" says
Alonzo e. Taylor, food specialist, who
has just returned from Germany.
Count von Bernstorff is in charge
of American affairs and the foreign
Office and the bureaucratic of the old
school are In evidence everywhere"
he added. The Germans are becom.
ing Russianized. They are afraid ITO
put untried men into the service"
Could Restore Militarism.
The German army has apparently
been disorganized and demobilized for
the most part, DR.. Taylor says, but
he believes 1t will be possible for a
well organized bureaucracy to restore
militarism IL 1t is deemed desirable.
Many Germans believe they will recov.
er their battleships and merchant
feet and do not expect to give up any
territory and. in DR.. Taylor's opinion
a grave political upheaval is possible
with the signing of the treaty of peace
ldleness Encouraged.
The present lull is regarded as un.
natural by DIR. Taylor, who says ii
was possibly created by the payment
of large indemnities to unemployed
persons and by ~suspending action on
all questions vital to the future of the
nation.
Plays 80 immoral that they would
have been prohibited under the inn
perial regime are now tolerated; thiev
ing Is prevalent; looting is common
and general public morale is low, DR.
Taylor remarks.
Lack of fuel and raw materials has
closed virtually all industries and the
railroads are hampered because they
have little coal. Labor conditions are
so bad at the coal mines that there
is little prospect of an increase in the
fuel output.
Gayety to BE Restricted.
The carnival of dancing, wine drink
Ing and night revels into which certain
classes of the population of Berlin and
other large cities have plunged since
the signing Of the armistice hereafter
will be restricted by the police under
an order issued today.

EVERYWHERE
Praise Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn., For two years
/ suffered with a female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and ! was so weak and tired that l wa
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia E. Pinkham' s Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and l am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
lish my testimonial and if your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me / will be very much pleased"
Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, 81 Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are ONE everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine a trial, and for special advice
write Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,
Lynn, Mass. The result of 40 years
experience is at your service.

GOD AND THE LEAGUE.

President Wilson, in his address to
the senate. said
1.-THE stage is set. the destiny dis
closed. II has come about by no plan
of our conceiving, but by the hand of
God who has led us into this way.
We cannot turn back. We can only
go forward, with lifted eyes and
freshened spirit. to follow the vision
OF course, the president was speak
ing of the league of nations. His
words are POLITICALLY eloquent. But
when he speaks of God, might it not
be well to remember that the Paris
conference at no time recognized the
existence of God. At no time was
there prayer made at any of the meet
ings of the conference. The atheism
of Clemenceau forbade such thing.
The great covenant between the ma
lions contains no recognition of God,
so far as any publication of the text
has suggested. This makes us pause
TO think.
The treaty itself begins with a vio-
lation of the principles of the cove
nant. 1t gives Shantung to Japan, be-
cause Japan would not sign without
this concession. Japan has no moral
right to Shantung.
Will a covenant thus created protect
us from war?

A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE IN.

In spite of the fact that the grass
grows greener somewhere else, there
are qualities in the place where we
live that commend it as a pretty good
place in which to live.
Being held in America for lack of
passports to foreign lands; and being
held in Albuquerque for lack of ex-
cursion tickets to summer resorts;
and being held at home Sundays be-
cause of the condition of the roads,
let us examine the evidence upon
when he gave the verdict that there S
no place like home"
We who have regarded this home
as a cow pony does his picket pin
a point from which to depart and to
which to return-may have q pleasant
discovery awaiting us when confined
to that point. We shall find large
and varied round of enjoyment there,
If we have the wit to dig it out and
set it up. 1t is remarkable how much
good grazing the steer can find in his
pasture, after he has tested the en-
circling fence and found it horse-h high
and bull-strong in every panel.
Albuquerque is about the best town
in which man might be beleaguered.
We have climate enjoyable for the
young, and pleasant for the old A
certain citizen of Albuquerque, whose
head is silvering a bit. set out some
years ago to find the best average
climate in which to live. He pur-
sued his quest from Seattle to Cuba
and from New York to San Diego.
He wanted to find a place where So
cial conditions were good. where the
average of intelligence was high,
where civic pride was in evidence,
where there was a marked spirit of
progress, where there were no ex-
tremes Of the rich and the poor.
He wanted to find good schools,
good churches without narrowness,
business and professional men who
were willing to let other people live
while they made livings for them
selves. He wanted to find a place
where he could find good movies,
good restaurants and good news
papers.
The, Journal has the story of his
quest from his own lips. He was able
to live about where he wished and as
he wished, within reasonable limits
Of expenditure.
That man settled down in Albu-
querque, three years ago, as the place
nearer his ideal than any other he
had visited or heard of. The longer
he lives here the less he wants to be
anywhere else.

DRASTIC LAND REFORM BILL.
itnror,y

No parallel in modern history. it is
said, can be found for the Czecho-
Slovak land reform bill, which was
passed unanimously by all parties in
the national assembly on April / 6. The
bill was welcomed by all Czech papers
and all sections of the population. we
are told, a typical comment in the
Prague Narodni Listy running thus:
THE appropriation proceeding in a
legal way, and is taking place on ac-
count of social reasons. We want to
abolish the large estates having thou
sands of acres while there are hun
dreds of thousands of people wishing
to work on their own land but who
do not possess any land at all. We
want to make an experiment in agri-
cultural cooperation, in which all
willing to work may take part. Our
republic is making an attempt at
peaceful and orderly bridging over
of the social differences"
