ing institution says buildings either
completed or started in Winchester

Wine Shortage
Turns French to
Beer and Cider
Government Cuts Taxes
To Encourage Use of
"Hygienic" Drinks.

PARIS, Oct. 12.-This is the
amount of liquid refreshment or
nourishment, exclusive of water,
that the average Frenchman takes
in the course of one year:
One hundred and ffty-two quarts
of wine.
Thirteen quarts of cider.
Twenty-six quarts Of beer.
Two quarts of heavier alcoholic
beverages such as cognac, rum
menthe, cha-treuse, anisette, cream
yvette, and well, all through the
long list.
This means, then, that the aver
age citizen uses up annually nearly
200 quarts of the kind of stun
that can be obtained in the United
States only by breaking the law.
France, being faced with a
shortage of wine production, has
taken stock of what her children
imbibe; and in order to meet the
threatened with wine shortage, has
tried to encourage the consumption
of cider and beer by tending to re-
duce taxes on those socalled ny
gienic beverages"
When Parliament reconvenes this
fall II is very probable that this tax
will be debated in the Chamber
and Senate. 1t will be shown that
France absorbs some 1,144,OOO.OOO
gallons of wines of all sorts, OF
which some 924,000,000 gallons
the higher percentage grades-are
taxed. In addition to this, France
drinks some 215.600,000 gallons of
beer and 100000 gallons OF CT
der. The taxes on cider and beer.
Therefore. means far less to the gov
ernment, and II the French people
can be persuaded to drink these
products through the inducemeut
of lower prices, the wine shortage
will have been met at little ex-
pense to the republic.

FREIGHT BURDEN
RUINOUS TO FARMS,
WARNS WALLACE
Prosperity Is Impossible
Till Agriculturists Are
Aided, Says Secretary

CHICAGO. Oct. 12.-Henry. c.
Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture,
today added his voice to the general
clamor for lower freight rates on
basic necessities.
As the executives of practically
every railroad in the country are
to meet here Friday to act on this
question. Secretary Wallace's atti-
tude was received in railroad circles
as significant
In voluntarily requesting the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
reduce basic commodity rates, the
executives are also expected to
seek further reductions in wages.
The fact that leaders of the great
railroad unions. today completed a
strike vote, showing that nearly
l,V5O,OO0 have voted in favor of
walkouts for cuts already received,
has increased apprehension as to
what may take place IL the program
of the carriers is put through.
Burden Is Too Great.
When freight rates cost from
one-half to 100 per cent of the pro-
duction price to farmers, II Is easily
seen that an impossible burden Is
being placed upon agriculture" Mr..
Wallace said. They impose a
diferential on the great surplus
food growing districts that Ia i'm
possible to meet under present
prices. When wheat was selling
at 81 the rates were not so tre-
mendous a burden. but at present
prices present rates cannot be met.
This is not a question of class
complaint 1t is not the farmers
alone who are nit. Everybody along
the line shares in the burden
through higher prices
"Ot course, freight rates are nos
the only reasons farmers are suffer-
ing now, but they are one of the
big reasons"
Speaking before the convention of
the National Vehicle Association,
Mr.. Wallace said that prosperity
would not return until farmers re-
ceive assistance.
Prices Below Pre-war Level.
prices for farm products have
decreased below pre-war levels at
a rate that is ruinous to the pro-
ducer," he said. AT the same time
the costs of production and rent,
taxes, costs of machinery and trans
portation have stayed high for
farmers. Until these two price
levels are evened up there cannot
be prosperity in the United States.
The cry for cheap food at any price
is fallacious."
The railroad brotherhoods. with
approximately IS per cent of the
men in favor of a walkout as a
protest against a IL per cent wage
cut already in effect, went into
executive session here today to map
out a plan to meet the expected
demands for further reduction.
L. E. Sheppard. president of the
Order of Railway Conductors. said
that the unions would be ready to
make an official statement soon.

SEES BERLIN Held
OPEN TO ROBBERY
BY PROPOSED PACT
Walsh, of Montana, Says
Europe Could Despoil
Germany.

The United states. under the
proposed peace treaty with Ger
many, would give its moral support
to a plan to keep Germany power
less SO that nation could be, de-
spelled by the rest OF Europe, Sena-
tor Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat. OF
Montana charged in thf Senate
yesterday.
Senator Walsh, who recently re-
turned from Europe, where he
studied postwar conditions, op-
posed the pending treaty. He de-
nounced it as more provocative of
war than of peace" and charged
the Harding administration with
"straddlinS" in the treaty the ques-
ton of participating in European
affairs.
The section OF the pending treaty
which stipulates that the United
States shall enjoy its rights and
privileges under part five of the
Versailles treaty would bind the
United States morally to a policy
of keeping Germany powerless and
at the same time providing for the
protection of Germany's immediate
neighbors, Senator Walsh declared.

time ii would provide for the pro-
lection of Germany's immediate
neighbors, including Poland and

France"
When the Versailles treaty was
before the Senate, the Senate re-
fused to accept the separate pact
by which the United States woIiu
join Great Britain in going to the
aid of France in event OF future
German aggression. Senator Walsh
said. He continued:
I'VE declined to go to the aid Of
France. but now we are called upon
by those who forbade the alliance
first proposed with her to obligate
ourselves, morally at least, to a
policy of keeping Germany power
less so that she will be unequal to
another invasion of France.
Says Poland Militarist.
Although the United States re-
fused to ratify the Versailles treaty.
still 1t insists that Germany shall
disarm and remain disarmed, leav-
ing her the prey of any ambitious
or covetous neighbor that may care
to despoil her.

Four hits are reported out of the

An unofficial report from the naval

second division.
Army bombers report seeing no d.

negotiations were speeded up this
evening when Premier Lloyd George
held separate interviews first with
Eamonn De Valera, President of the
Irish Republic, and later with Sir
James Craig, head of the Unionist
government of Ulster.
There came near being a dramatic
meeting between De Valera and his
political foe, Sir James Craig. Sir
James, accompanied by Lord London
derry, member of the Ulster cabi
net. arrived at 10 Downing street
while tho Irish president was in con.
ference with Premier Lloyd George.
The conference of Premier LLOYD
George and De Valera began about
1870 and broke up at 6:15. When the
Sim Fein chieftain departed he snid
that he was unaware that Sir James
Craig had arrived at Downing Street,
and that they had not met.
Immediately after De Nalera's depar.
ture Premier Lloyd George and Sir
James Craig went into conference I'm

BRITISH GOVT. FORMING
BIG COTTON CORPORATION

The formation Of an Empire Cotton
Growing Corporation, to be estab-
lished under royal charter, with a
grant of 100000 pounds sterling, is
now being perfected by the British
government, according to cable ad.
vices to the Commerce Department
yesterday from American Consul Lin.
nell. at London.
Consul Linnell said the corporation
will not be a fit-sharing concern.
Its object is to develop cotton grow.
ing in the British Empire. by provid.
ing opportunities for training of Brit.
ish subjects in tropical agriculture or
present or potential cotton growing
areas within the empire possessions.
