"Kickless" Beer Brewing
Allowed, Despite Courts
Ruling Against 1t

Pittsburgh, July 10. - Manufac-
ture and sale of beer containing less
than one-half of one per cent. of
alcohol will be permitted by the
brewing companies of Pittsburgh, it
was announced yesterday by United
States District Attorney r. L. Craw-
ford. following receipt of informa-
ton from the Department of JUS
tice on it's stand on the question of
manufacturing beer containing any
percentage of alcohol.
The official information not only
contradicts Attorney Crawford s
view on the matter of beer contain
ing less than one-half of one per
cent. of alcohol, but also does not
concur with Federal Judge w. H. s.
Thompson which was const rued
generally to interpret the act of No
yember 21, 1918. as including all
beer. Attorney Crawford previous
ly placed a similar construction up
on the act that 1t was unlawful to
make and sell beer of any alcoholic
content whatsoever.
For the first time since July 4, sa-
loon proprietors to-day, following
the district attorneys announce
ment, disposed of their beer stock
containing the required alcoholic
percentage without fear of Fed
eral interruption and subsequent
prosecution.

Railroads Anxiously
Awaiting Decisions

Corporate railroad managers
whose properties are being operated
by the Railroad Administration are
waiting impatiently for two import
ant decisions which probably will be
made within the next month. They
are the settlement of the time-and-
one-half feature of the old Adam
son law controversy which Presi-
dent Wilson left to be settled when
he announced his approval of the
eight-hour day for the brotherhoods
in 1916, and the other is the ex-
tremely important question of an
immediate increase in freight rates.
In some quarters it is held that
nothing less than % per cent. in
crease in rates will serve to restore
railway credit to its position in
1916.

Marshal Foch Declares
England Will Not Be
Ready Next Time Either
By Associated Press.

London, July 19.-The next time
England will be in the same position
as the last time-"she will not be
ready, and we will have to wait for
her." is statement made by Mar
shall Foch, of France, to a corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail, which
prints an interview with the COM
mander-in-chief of the Allied arm
les this morning.
Marshal Foch. however, pays
highest tribute to the British army.
The military history of the world
contains no parallel to the produc-
tion of such an army in such a way
in every respect, the British army
has been superb"
The Marshal is quoted as adding:
The next war will be more than
ever one of machinery. You should
have laboratories with inventors al
ways at work keeping you abreast
or the mechanical side of war"

Daylight Repeal Fails
BY vote of 203 to III, the House
late yesterday refused to submit the
new agricultural bill to President
Wilson with a daylight saving repeal
rider attached.
To do so would be merely to in
vite another veto of the measure.
the members decided. and many of
the most ardent opponents of the
extra hour of daylight fell into line
behind Representative j. Hampton
Moore, of Philadelphia, and sup
ported his amendment which struck
the daylight rider from the bill.
There was much jockeying and
changing of positions in the House
when the daylight rider on the new
bill came up for debate. Strictly
party lines obtained when the ques-
ton of a special rule to consider the
rider in order came up, but later
there was a scattering of the forces
as the Democrats took sides with
President Wilson, regardless of their
feeling upon the daylight question.
and declared themselves favora BILE
TO a separate bill to bring about the
repeal of the law.
Representative Moore, in explain
ing his vote for rule said he be-
lieved there should be a decisive an
swer on the daylight question and
a debate on the matter on the floor
insured the square deal for both
the farmer and the city man.

The councils appointment of Gen.
eral E. H. H. Allenby of the British
army to the duty of adjusting differ
ences between the Greek and italian
forces in Asia Minor is regarded as
the best means of disposing of fric-

the Turks will be impressed by the
united action of the Allies. 1t is
hoped the Greeks and Italians will
withdraw behind lines which Gen
eral Allenby will outline.
The problem of the force of occu-
patton in the Rhineland province,
arising from the withdrawal of a
majority of the British and Ameri-
can troops was also considered to-
day. The question of principles in

FORD LAWYERS
SAY QUESTIONS
ARE TOO BRUTAL
His Counsel Objects to Treat
ment; Made to Say Things
Not in Mind

Mt. Clemens, Mich, July 19.-Al-
though Henry Ford yesterday COM
pleted a week on the witness stand
In his libel suit against the Chicago
Daily Tribune. Elliott G. Stevenson,
senior counsel for the defendant
who began questioning him last
Monday, showed no sign of reach
ing a conclusion.
The examination of the witness
on the contents of the alleged libel
GUS editorial in the Tribune on June
23, 1916, headed. Ford Is An An
arch!st,' was the important feature
of the day. Alfred Lucking, senior
counsel for the plaintiff, character
ized the examination as brutal
and the witness, pressed to admit
the editorial charge of being an
ignorant idealist" and reminded
that on previous occasions he had
admitted it, remarked:
You are good enough attorney
TO get me to say this or that but
III would not be in my mind"
Haven't l tried to be fair with
YOU, Mr.. Ford %
Absolutely"
Il have not tried to mislead you ?''
mo, SIR"
1t was here that Mr.. Lucking
made his charge of brutality, add
| ing:
You take a modest witness, Mr.
stevenson and try to pound him into
saying that he is an ignorant ideal
list. 1t seems to me that this should

1t is not right to pound a man OF

He is talking as though you
may" was the way the stenographer
caught the reply of Mr.. Ford, who

that his own lawyers rarely heal
him.
Nearly two hours were consumed

the stand, in reading into the record

mittee on Military Affairs.
1t appeared that General Weaver

gain is in my possession" Mr.. NC
Fadden said. "It is very complete.
It shows he was involved in tin-
ancial way with purchase by the
Government of the Arlington Hotel
property for S4,200,0Q0. He aided
his brother-in-law in negotiating the
sale and 1 am prepared to prove
that he received part of the COM
mission"
Mr.. McFadden declared he could
prove also that Mr.. Williams had
taken part in other transactions of
a most serious nature" MIR. Nc
Fadden told Representative Pou,
Democrat, North Carolina, he would
rather not" go into details of
the charges before the committee
now.
IT do not wish to make pubic
any more than l have to at this
time" he said. ITO do so would
seriously interfere with my purpose.
I have every reason to believe that
discriminating evidence is being de-
stroyed. At the right time l will
bring forward witnesses whose char
acter will prove the soundness OF
information they give"
Lead to Impeachment.
Mr.. Pou questioned the advisa-
bility of ordering the investigation,
declaring it would 'injure the dig
nity of the Rules Committee" to take
favorable action on every resolution
of such a nature brought forward
by a member of Congress who had
grievance against some public
official.
ION the other hand" said Rep
resentative Rodenberg, Republican,
Illinois, 1T consider the charges so
serious that they can not be ignored.
If proved they would lead to the
Impeachment of the comptroller"
The committee postponed final ac-
ton until Monday.

British and French Beat
u. S. in Race to Place
New Consuls in Germany

Washington, July 10. Though
British and French consuls already
have entered Germany for the pur-
pose of re-establishing trade rela-
tions with that country, the State
Department here has been unable to
do more than organize it's own
service for similar functions pending
authority to send them into Ger
many. This authority cannot be OBJ
tanned, in the opinion of the depart
ment, until the Peace Treaty has
been finally ratified.
American customs laws require the
certification by American consular
officers of goods imported into the
United States and unless means can
be found for extending temporary
authority of that kind to some of the
American consular clerks who re-
manned in Germany during the war.
or to the consular representatives
of other powers who may undertake
such certification as a matter of
commodity, it is believed American
trade must labor under this handi-
cap in the international competition
until the exchange of ratifications of
the Treaty.

Wealthy Germans Are
Fleeing Over to Denmark

London, July 19-Rich Germans
are trying to escape from their
country to avoid the confiscation of
their property, according to a Cop
enhagen dispatch to the Daily Tele-
graph reporting news received in
Copenhagen from Schleswig.
More than thirty German million
aires have arrived. in the town of
Soenderburg, on the Island of Alsen,
Schleswig, where they hope to save
their fortunes by transferring their
allegiance to Denmark. 1t is said
they have already bought houses
and lands. Such purchases, accord
ing to a recent declaration of the
Danish Government, will not in
themselves make the buyers subjects
of Denmark
