SHORTAGE HF BEER IN
MUINCH VERY EVIDENT
MUNICH, Germany, Sept. 18.—The
shortage of beer in Munich, the home
of many famous brews of dark Muen
cher beer, is very real. The de
creased production has not only caus
ed a jump in prices bu has produtced
here a semi-drought that apparently
has not been felt so keenly in any
other part of Germany.
The recent proposal to cope with the
problem by closing cases as early as
9 o’clock instead of midnignt, provid
ed all« Germany with a laugh at Mun
ich’s expense, but it was no laughing
matter in Munich. Few, if any, of
the cases had sufficient allowances of
the beer supply to keep things run
ning after nine o’clock.
Karl von Koelcker, a member of the
council of state ministry of Bavaria
and a life-long Muenchener himself
had this to say a,bout the resignation
of the people to’the restricted bee
jneasure:
“If anyone had had the temerity to
tell a Muenchener one year ago that
in August, 1915, he would be restricted
in his allowance of beer, that he
would have to go home thirsty at 9
o'clock and that the whole city would
be enduring a semi-drought, that man
would either have been told that he
was crazy, or the Muenchener would
have replied that he would never sub
mit to any tampering with one of
his necessaries of life.”
Notwithstanding, tht» Muenchener
today wends his way homeward at 9
or thereabouts, without a grumble at
being deprived of his accustomed al
lowance of beer.

I J. H. BEARD, Director, Americus, Ga
The authorities have grappled with
the really serious beer situation with
characteristic thoroughness. With an
exact knowledge of the production of
the Munich breweries and the propor
tion that must go to the army, they
have simply stepped in and regulated
the disposition of the balance.
A certain so-called “wine-restau
rant” in the heart of the city, for in
stance, a restaurant patronized prin
cipally by people who drink wine, is
granted an allowance of 70 liters of
beer a day. The restaurant has per
mission to stay open until midnight,
and does so, but the beer drinkers
leave when the 70 liters are gone. And
it might be remarked parenthetically
that a relatively small crowd of “beer
murderers” as the Germans express
ively call them, will consume 70 liters
in an amusingly short time.
The wine restaurant stays open
but the beer restaurants do not, even
though they have wine on their bills
of fare. None of their clients W'ant
want, and to keep open means mere
ly a waste of electric light.

TOURISTS ALREftOV PASS
AVER THE BATTLEFIELDS
PARIS, Sept. 18. —The stream of
tourists who w'ill travel unceasingly
over the battlefields for scores of
years after the European war is fin
ished, has already begun. The trav
eler who obtains a suitable permis
sion can now take a train from Paris
to Meux in the morning, drive in an
open carriage all day over the coun
try w’hich w'as the scene of some very
important fighting nearly a year ago,
and be back at his hotel in Paris for a
late supper.
There is not much to be seen, for
the ripening harvests conceal even the
hundreds of wooden crosses which
still mark the places where men fell
and were hastily buried. White
crosses mark the graves cf Frencb
dead; black posts with a rectangular
stamp oj» them mark the German dead
There are still shattered churches
and houses which show the marks of
shrapnel and machine gun fire, and
some of the smaller bridges over the
Marne are not yet replaced. One road
side hostelry which was struck by a
German shell, has changed Its name,
and now boasts a signboard inscribed
in French, “The Shell-Struck Inn.”

EOR SIOO.OOO BALM
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 18.—Ar
dent love making by a millionaire,
trips to Los Angeles, life in the big
hotels of the city and alleged prom
ises to marry which were not fulfilled,
feature the complaint of Mrs. Anna
Burson, a handsome former San Fran
cisco woman, who, through her at
torney, Earl Rogers, prepared a suit
against M. Ellingson, Arizona capital
ist, for SIOO,OOO heart balm.
Mrs. Bursell, a divorcee and well
known in social circles of Los Angeles
sets forth in her complain allegations
of a love romance that began in Ari
zona, flourished during trips to trips to
Los Angeles, and then was wrecked,
when, as she charges, her wealthy
admirer, who already had a wife, could
not marry her.
At Rogers’ office it was stated that
the complaint would be filed and a
copy of it with a summons delivered
to Ellingson as soon as he is found
in a Los Angeles hotel, where he is
reported to be stopping.
Mrs. Bursell is about 35 years old.
Ellingson, she says, is about 55 years
old. Mrs. Bursell was formerly the
wife of John L. Bursell, of St. Joseph.
Mo., a prominent cattleman. On his
death she came to Califirnia, and la
ter married a Mr. Stevens, she said, in
San Francisco. Ijj 1911 she obtained a
divorce in San Francisco, resumed the
name of Bursell, and went to Temp?,
Ariz., where she met Ellington. The
story told by Mrs. Burson and written
into a complaint by Attorney Milton
Cohen, associate of Earl Rogers, fol
lows:
“Finally I pressed the question, and
when he did not marry me, I learned
from others that he was married and
had a family in Tempe. I have bee i
deceived from start to finish. I feel
my position keenly. I have held a very
prominent place in the social circles
of San Francisco and St. Joseph. I
have tried to get justice and now I am
going to fight it out I shall never
quit until I win.”
PRESS DEMANDS A
CROSS OF HONOR
PARIS, Sept. IS. —A heroine of
France, for whom the “war cross” is
demanded by the press is Madame Can
tora, wife since August 6th of Lieuten
ant Cantora, who lost both eyes and
one arm in the Argonne. Both hus
band and wife are Corsicans. As soon
as Madame Cantora, then Mademoiselle
Pattrion, heard of her fiance’s wounds
she started for Paris. Lieutenant Can
tora released her from her engage
ment and begged her to go home; he
could not bear the thought of her
linking her future to a man without
eyes and with only one arm. Mad
emoiselle Pattrion asked that she be
allowed at least to nurse him until i
his wounds were healed, and during
his convalescense she overcame his
scruples. The marriage was a most
pathetic spectacle. The bride was
given aw’ay by the Countess Jean de
Castellane, one of the patronesses of
the “Quinze-Vingts” hospital for the
blind, where the lieutenant was treat
ed. Lieutenant Cantora has been dec
orated with the Cross of the Legion
of Honor.

DIES AT AGE BE 68
EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 18.—Mrs.
Polly Ann e Weed Strodes, known as
“Marrying Polly,” because she has
been married thirteen times, died here
today at the age of 69 years. j

000 damages by James Handley, who
alleged that he was shot last Febru
ary by Harrison Strodes, thirteenth
husband of Mrs. Strodes, and that
Mrs. Strodes urged her husband to as
sault him. Physicians here believe the
filing of the suit hastened the death of
the aged woman. F
ENGLISH TRADING RULE
CAUSES FRIGHT AMONG
'GERMANS IIHHE ORIENT
HANKOW, China, Spt. 18.—The first
result of the British anti-enemy trad
ing bill, which is being put into effect
in China, is a panic among the Ger
' mans in the British concession. In
' fear of being cut off from business by
the British action, the Germans have
I moved all their stocks of goods to
Chinese territory, and placed the larg
-1 er part of it under Chinese protection.
( The British banks have requested the
Germans to withdraw all their de
posits. Hitherto trading between Ger
man and British subjects has con
tinued in China, but the war is now to
be carried into commerce even in the
Far East.
The Japanese Ministry of Com
munications have ordered all Jap
anaese shipping companies trading in
China water to follow' the British anti
enemy trading proclamation fiom July
26. The effect will be that German
and Austrian subjects in China who
have been carrying on business with
America will be practically isolated
from the outside world except by
transportation on the few neutral
steamers that ply to inland China
ports—Japanese steamers being the
chief medium for cargo and passeng
ers. Japanese firms other than ship
ping companies are not affected by'
the regulation.
