Brewers Decide Not to EIGHT.

Milwaukee, Jan. 22.-Wisconsin
brewers will quit without making a
fight against the validity Of the pro-
ceedings leading to the ratification of
the national prohibition amendment,
according to a statement made here
Tuesday by William FL. Austin, counsel
for the Wisconsin Brewers associa-
ton. The brewers take the position
that the fight against the amendment
is up to the people and those in the
brewing industry will not expend their
money for propaganda or for half
way legislation favorable to the right
to manufacture. In other words, the
brewers quit absolutely and have
turned their attention to the task of
putting their houses in order for the
complete cessation of operations.

Armories for future soldiers would
make excellent memorials for the men
who fought and died in the war. A
better memorial would be to have
world agreement which would make
even armories unnecessary for the fu-
ture. The peace treaty should be the
greatest memorial that any nation
could erect to the men who made the
supreme sacrifice. If * fall shorts of
this it will not have justified the sac
rifce.

Chancellor Ebert 5 declaration that
he will not sign peace treaty unless
it meets with his approval would in
dicate that the Germans may have some
idea of still eating that dinner in Paris.
Of course Ebert is just whistling to
keep his courage up while marching
through the grave yard but some good
old hard headed German should tell
him to whistle in whisper. His
noise might have a tendency to gum
up the cards.

crease TWO Billions.
Washington, Jan. 22.--Despite ire
mendous war burdens, national banks
grew and prospered last year, their
resources, earnings and deposits es-
tahlishing new high records, accord
Ing to the annual report Of John Skel-
ton Williams, controller Of the cur
rency.
The report said the success Of the
financial management Of the war was
largely due to the conservative prin-
ciples maintained by the banks and
the federal reserve system, and the
efficient direction OF the individual in
stitutions.
The report covered the year ending
October 81, 1913. and said that half
the ST, 600, 100000 of Liberty bonds
marketed up to that date were sold
through the national banks, yet the
banks deposits increased nearly 81
