WAR-TIME BAN ON
WHISKY REMOVED
115,000,G(X> Gallons Released
by the British Food
Controller
j London, Nov. 20.—One hundred
i and fifteen gallons of whisky be
! sides a quantity of other spirits in
| bond in Great Britain were released
j from war-time restrictions yesterday
| and may be distributed to all ccsners
! who can persuade the dealers to
i sell.
The announcement of the removal
; of the restrictions, which was made
j without warning in the House of
Commons by the food controller
I Tuesday, came as a surprise to the
I members, who greeted it with loud
| cheers.
| The liquor trade was equally sur-
I prised, and was besieged by the
I well-to-do among the public as soon
!as the unexpected news spread.
I Many orders of from 50 to 100
s dozens were placed immediately, in
! addition to numerous commissions
! for smaller quantities.
I Although it is figured that enough
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
spirits lias been thus freed to supply
every man. woman and child In the
country with 36 bottles apiece, it is
doubtful if the public will find it
easy at present to increase consump
tion to a great extent. The govern
ment maintains control of the maxi
mum price, which for whisky is 10
shillings and six pence per bottle,
and it is not believed thut the deal
ers will sell much below that figure,
as the existing high duty will remain.
Moreover, restrictions on distilla
tion during the war and the neces
sity of maturing stocks may lead the
dealers to hold large quantities. On
the other hand, it will be possible
now to sell all the American whisky
which has reached and is still reach
ing England .though clearauce from
the customs may be slow.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20.—One of

The vessel will be named in honor
of N. E. Edsall, a native of Co
lumbus, Ky., who was killed by hos
tile natives in Samoa, In 1899, while
assisting a superior officer to a place
of safety.
SALE OF RUM
| BRINGS RICHES
Liltle French Colony on the
West Indies Is Very
Prosperous
St. Pierre, Martinique, Nov. 20.
The manufacture and sale of rum
brought unusual prosperity to the
| little island of Martinique during thc
j war. Hidden away among the. West
\ Indies this little French colony of
! 200,000 people, so small that it is
j found with difficulty on most maps
of the world, sent its sons overseas
: to fight for the motherland while the
folks at home prospered by raising
sugar, coffee, cocoa and manufac
turing rum.
This took place, too, during a
period when prohib.tlon was sweep
ing over America
Not only did the exports of this
beverage increase from approxi-
I mutely 4.090.9U0 gallons in 1913 to
1 5,862,500 gallons in 1917. a gain of
more than 40 per cent, but the
value of the exports increased front
approximately $2,385,000 in 1913 to
189.933,000 in 1917, a gain of about
315 per cent.
Exports of sugar, however, <le
i creased from 39,089 tons in 1913
[to 20,478 tons in 1917. The pro
-1 duction of sugar cane was increased
, during the same period but the
I islanders found it more profitable
to use the product in the manufac
ture of rum to export it. From 1914
to 1917 imports of molasses used in
the manufacture of rum, increased
i from 1,857 tons to 8.475 tons.
