GERMANY ID CHECK ITS ''DR|NK CRAZE"
By Associated Press

Berlin, August 13.-Consumpton of wines and liquors has been increas- ing so rapidly in Germany since the war that the Reichstag has directed the drafting of law, to be intro- duced at the September session, to regulate the traffic. The law also will check growing increase in the number of saloons which, in Berlin particularly, has been sof rapid that even the moderates say the health and morals of the people are endan- gered.
 The crime wave which has been sweeping the country for many months, filling the jails of every city and severely taxing the resources of the police, Is attributed by many to the drink craze" and especially to the more general use, among the poorer Germans, of cheap cognacs, green whiskies gin and other hard liquors" The Germans, in fact, are gradually losing their old reputation as beer drinkers although an abun- dance of beer is obtaina ble.

 Champagne at Tables
 There is no charge for a place at the bar but to sit at the tables it is compulsory to drink champagne, Or some other wine of similar price, with proportionate profit to the pro- prietor.
 The consumption of champagne has outstripped all previous records dur ing the past 12 months, mounting to more than 13,000,0D0 bottles The principal rendezvous of the heavy and habitual champagne thinker is the night saloon,'' which does not open until late afternoon or early evening, but continues serving it's customers until early morning, al- though the official closing hour is 1t:30 at night.
 Publication of the statistics of champagne consumption recently brought a prompt demand from rad ical socialists and labor organizations for more rigorous control of this traffic which. it was alleged, repre- sented the "privileges's secured by the profiteers and the moneyed for eigners who frequent the capital There is also a widespread demand for enforcement of the closing law

"the workers win never return to the

Industry"
Mr.. Sehlesinger referred to an offer
of financial backing from banking in
stitution, and said that if the $3,000,
600 now in hand became exhausted he
would offer "liberty bonds" to the pub
lie, running for one year at 4M per
cent, with the good will Of the unions
as security. he said he could sell "a
million of them.''
Both Issue Statements
Each side issued two sets of state
ments yesterday. A. e. Lefcourt, of
the Manufacturers' Protective Associa-
/ on, first asked if President Schles-
niger could deny two assertions
the workers could make more out of
piecework, and that the consumer could
save from rs to SO 1-3 per cent. He re-
fused to give the names of the fac
tories he asserted were operating be-
cause, he said, q worker who refused to
strike was killed in union headquarters
in the 1910 strike.
II noted with a great deal of inter
est Mr.. Schlesinfers statement about
issuing liberty bonds to raise funds
for this strike. want to recall to the
pubic that when America was at war
and every one was purchasing gov
ernment Liberty Bonds to their fullest
extent, Mr.. Schlesingers associates
came out flat-footed in public speeches
and foreign language newspapers, ad-
vising every member of the Interna-
tional urion not to buy the bonds"
In reply to these charges, Mr.. Schlc-
bought half a million dollars worth Of
Liberty bonds and that the workers
bought millions more. He said that the
rn.on conviction WAS that some one
in the employ of the manufacturers
was responsible for the death of the
man killed ct their headquarters, and
that a union man was freed of the
charge. He added, concerning costs to
the consumer:
According to facts known to the en-
tire cloak trade, garment sold for $40
by the retailer is manufactured and
sold to him for $2S. The cost of labor
on such garment amounts to about one
quarter of the wholesale price, or 81.
