DRYS SURPRISED
over ISSUANCE OF
BEER REGULATIONS

Washington, Oct. 2I-As uneXpect-
ed as a rain storm in the desert
regulations authorizing the use of
beer as a medicine were issued to-
night.
Withheld since March ., when the
then Attorney General Palmer held
the use of beer as a medicine to be
legal under the prohibition laws, the
issuance of the beer regulation came
as complete surprise to leaders of
the dry forces, who declared there
had been an understanding with the
treasury that the new rules should
not be promulgated until the senate
had acted upon the pending anti
beer bill.
Issuance of the beer regulations
will cause redoubled efforts to effect
the passage of the anti-beer meas
ures, senate leaders declared, while
Wayne E. Wheeler. general counsel
for the anti-saloon league, described
the treasury's action as less de-
fensable than at any time"
The now rules cover the use of
beer, wines and spirits as medicines.
The amount of beer a physician may
prescribe at one time for the use Of
the same person is limited to . IL
gallons. the equivalent of case. but
no arbitrary limit is placed upon the
number of such prescriptions a ply

They are tax on the whole people.
There is a possible and practical
system of financing railroads by
which those contributing the money
will be in positions to aid directly to

Aboard Steamship Kashima Maru,
Oct % (By radio to A. P)-The
basis of Japans program at the
Washington conference on the limi-
tation of ornaments and far eastern
questions will be desire to maintain
a defensive navy large enough to
cope with any naval force that any
other nation would be capable OF
sending into the Far East. according
TO informa ton given today to the
Associated Press. representative
aboard this ship, which is carrying
the chiefs of the Japanese delegation
to the United States.
The impression is given that
Japan will not propose the dismant-
ling of the American fortifcations in
the Pacific.
Japan apparently does not believe
that America could despatch her en-
tire navy to the Far East on account
of the distance and the lack of suffi-
GENTLY large bases. But if American
naval bases are enlarged ana Great
Britain's bases are expanded Japan's
minimum, it is intimatcd, must be
arranged accordingly.
Japan believes that the strength Of
bases in the Pacific question linked
up with the problem of navy cnrtail-
ment. Therefore it is probab bic that
efforts may be made to settle the
matter simultaneously.
Vice admiral Tomosaburo kato,
minister of Marine, one of Japan's
delegates to Washington has discard
ed his naval uniform. He explained
that he goes to Washington. not as
naval minister but as member of
the cabinet empowered to discuss all
affairs Of state.
