M in the second half the Nakens
came back strong, determining at
least to tie the score. The clothiers
although failing to do this, made
seven counters to the Pearl Me
morials' four. Close guarding on the
part of the Pearl Memorials was
largely responsible for their victory.
Konecky, although playing guard, put
the ball through the hoop three tunes.
Klepsar and Parrish, forwards, each
made a difficult field goal.
The Commercial High team for
feited its game to the Benson Metho
dists, failing to appear. The Benson
team, however, played a pick-up team
to a 14 to 14 tie.
The Young Men's Hebrew associa

much more even than the score in

USE OF GRAINS IN
MAKING OF BEER
London, Tuesday, March 13. Criti
cism of the continued use of grain
"for brewing and malting was made
in the House of Commons today by
Right Hon. Liefchild Jones and
others.
John R. Clynes, parliamentary sec
retary of the food control board, in
reply, said that having regard, among
other considerations, for the food sit
uation and opinion in America, the
government, while maintaining a sup
ply of beer for- heavy manual work
ers, intendedto reduce , immediately
the tonnage to be used for brewing
material.
One hundred and fifty thousand
tons of barley were taken from the
brewers and malsters on March 1
and a further 200,000 tons would be
saved yearly by restricting the stand
ard of barrelage and using substi
tutes which are vastly more economi
cal. .!
The brewing materials for 1918-19,
Mr. Clynes added, would be equiva
lent to 512,000 tons of shipping, com
pared to 1,500,000 tons early in the
war. The brewing material would
amount to something less than 3 per
cent of the solid 'food ration and from
one-third to one-fourth of these ma
terials could be recovered in the
form of animal food.
Montenegrins on Trial
For7 Pro-German Activities
Indianapolis, Ind., March 13. -The
trial of 13 Montenegrins, charged
with action "intended to promote the
success of the German government"

grew out of attacks on members of a
Montenegrin mission, which held
meetings in Detroit and Indiana
Harbor, lnd., several months ago.
The principal witness Tuesday was
Milosh Ivanovitch, head of the mis
sion and a former judge in Monte
negro. The government bases its case
against the . Montenegrins on the
ground that efforts to make the mis
sion cease its work in .this country
was aid to the enemy. The trial will
continue tojnorrow.

THE CANARY DEAD
ROUTINE TRAFFIC
TO BE NORMAL SOON
McAdoo Announces That Com
merciai Shipments Will Be
Handled as Usual; Eastern
Coast Clearing Up.
Washington, March 13. Ordinary
commercial traffic soon will be
handled by railroads in a normal man
ner, Director General McAdoo an
nounced today in commenting on re
ports that the railroad administration
contemplates a permanent system of
restricting shipments of non-essential
commodities.
"It is not the intention, of the rail
way administration," said the director1
general, "to interfere .vith the normal
commercial shipments. It has been
necessary to give preferential service
to the supplies of food, fuel and mu
nitions. It is expected that within a
short time the railroads will be in po
sition to handk commercial shipments
in the usual way.
"We have not at any time issued
orders interfering with commercial
business except when it was necessary
to do so on account of special service
being required for the commodities
above mentioned. Embargoes have
been placed on the various railroads
due to conditions caused by tht; ex
treme weather and the accumulation
at certain Atlantic ports."
A. H. Smith, regional director lor
the east, , reported today that 8,016
loaded cars of freight for export are
held at North Atlantic ports. In ad
dition material from 6.60 cars Aave
been discharged in piers, and 15,713
cars have been unloaded on the
sromd. . .
This indicated, officials saia, mat
ships are not being supplied in suffi
cient numbers to carry away
the
freight now delivered to ports.

dicial position, and that James Ian
MacPherson, parliamentary secretary
to the war office, will go to Ireland in
his place.
The Liverpool Post says that
among the persons involved in the j-e-
1914-kon8tructioa it asserts is approaching

has shown a tendency lately to take
a rather too diplomatic view of inter
national problems."

has been proven by the thousands
who have vainly resorted to this
method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or

everyone recognizes the alarming con

affected. Thus Catarrh may be the
forerunner of that most dreaded and
hopeless of all diseases, consumption.
No local treatment affords perma

attacks the disease at its source, the
