BREWERIES IN
j A BAD WAY NOW
AMSTERDAM. .Ion. 2. — The busi
ness of blowing beer, which ranks
second in importance among German
industries, is in a bad way, and, ac
cording io I he Berliner Tageblatt, so
drastic have become the measures of
the authorities in the matter of labor
and material tiiat the future is looked
forward to with tho gravest appre
hension.
Among the north German beer pro
ducers a bitter feeling exists against
the Bavarian brewers. The former
complain that the Bavarians have
been, and are being, unduly favored
in the matter of obtaining barley and
malt. Rumors are current that it has
been found necessary to placate the
people of Bavaria, who have suffered
< ruel looses in men during the war.
Meanwhile, Bavaria remains the para
dise of beer drinkers from the Prus
sian point of view, although the qual
ity of th(» beverage is such that the
popular verdict is “that it is wet and
that’s about all."

ties. This will be done largely by
means of the registration for service
now being taken up by the Woman’s
Committee.
