Beer DrinIser Gets More Alcohol Thar
Whiskey Drinker

The belief tha beer should not come
under the condemnation so frequently
meted out to whiskey is traceable to
the common impression that beer
drinkers. consume much less alcohol
than whisky drinkers. But those who
believe this overlook the fact that the
man who drinks per cent beer usually
takes ten times as much as a man who
takes 40 per cent whisky. The United
States Internal Revenue Commissioner,
on page 675 OF the statistical abstract.
gives the per capita consumption Of die
titled spirits and beer In 1914 and Their
respective alcoholic contents as fol-
lows:
Gallons Gallons OF
Used. Alcohol
Distilled Spirits LAG 0.5S4
Malt liquors ------ 20.51 0.S20
II will be seen from this that the per
capita consumption Of alcohol by beer
drinkers in 1914 was 40 per cent great.
er than that by whisky drinkers.
Nor must 1t be thought that the less
concentration OF alcohol in beer makes
that beverage less dangerous. During
recent court trial in Chicago a medi.
cal witness was asked:
"Does the rate or degree Of oxidation
depend upon the concentration OF alec.
hol?" He answered: "Not at all on
the concentration" To the further
question, would the stimulant and
narcotic action of forty-eight drops of
alcohol be greater or less IL given in
twenty per cent or fifty five per cent
dilutionY at would be indlstinguish.
able" he answered, "just as the mar
cotic and stimulant effect OF the same
dose of alcohol is indistinguishable
whether ii is given in the form OF
whisky or in the form of beer"

PLAN REORGANIZATION
Or THE NTAIONAL GUARD

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Final
plans for the reorganization of the Ma.
ilonal Guard ON the 16-divisiion basis,
with divisional areas following the
same limits as did those from which
service against Germany, were ap-
proved today by Secretary Baker.
State Adjutant Notified
Major General Jesse Mel. Carter,
chief OF the bureau of military affairs,
Immediately sent notifications to the
various adjutant generals OF the units
allotted TO their states and OF the read
iness OF the federal government to ex-
tend recognition after the required in
spection had been made.
The organizat lion table announced to-
day provides for AZ regiments and Is
battalions of infantry, six regiments,
IL squadrons and 10 troops OF cavalry,
10 regiments, 20 battalions and seven
batteries Of field artillery and "A coast
artillery companies, with additional
forces of engineers, sanitary and signal
corps.
Expansion Provided for
A maximum expansion to about 440.-
900 men, or 500 per senator and con-
gresham is provided for, but the units
for the time being are TO be organized
ON the basis OF 85 men per company OF
infantry, as appropriations for the ma
tional guard for the fiscal year 1920,
permit only the organization Of the
guard on the basis of 200 men for each
senator and representative giving an
aggregate strength of about 100000.
Western Assignments
Among the state assignments are the
following:
Arizona, one squadron cavalry one
battalion field artillery.
California, eight companies field
artillery. one battalion engineers, one
signal company (radio). one field hos
pital company ,one ambulance company,

troop cavalry, one battalion field ar
tillery. one company engineers, one sig
nal company (outpost), one engineer
train. one ambulance company.

Fiu1ne and Danzig

IN Pars 1T seems to be a poor rule
that can't be made to work both ways.
lake the cases of Fiume and Danzig.
The influences which control in the
Council of Four--now the Council of
Three-maintain that Fiume, which is the
most convenient sea outlet for the COM
merce sof the former Hungarian prov
lnces of Croatia and Slavonia, as we'll
as for that of Hungary, ought to go to
Croatia, now part of the new state Of
Jugo-Slavia. The principle is argued for
that the port ought to belong to the
hinterland, although majority of the
inhabitants of the port are Italian and
not Croat. The interests of the hinter
land must take precedence in the dis
position of the port.
Danzig occupies the same relation to
Poland as Fiume does to inland popula-
tions whose chief sea outlet it has been
IN the past. Yet the influences in con-
tsol of the Council of Three have re-
fused to assign Danzig to the new state
of Poland. They want to leave Dan
zig lnthe hands of the Germans though
the majority OF it's inhabitants are Ger
man, not Polish At the most, they are
willing to make Danzig free city.
Poland needs q seaport of her own
much more than the South Slaws need
one The latter already have a long
stretch OF seacoast and many harbors.
Nevertheless Poland's claim is turned
down, while Croatia's and Slavonia's is
upheld. Racial self-dete1mination is ad
mitted in the case of Damie and set
aside in the case of Fiune. Germany is
coddled in the North and Hungary is
coddled in the South. There is a rule
that apparently works one way in tho
valley of the Vistula and the other wav

pic similar chance to speak their will
Our agent, except for Senatorial rati-
fication, which it is said should be re-
duced to form, is an autocrat with
respect to foreign relations during his
term. This is unfortunatc; our people
want to know what the Italian people, as
distinguished from their government,
think. SO the Italians would like much
to know what our people think. We
cannot answer. There has been talk
of unions among people rather than
among governments. Our institutions
shut US off from participation in the new
diplomacy, for only at four-year periods
is there government responsibility.
