Berlin, via London, Feb. 11:25 a. li.—Germany’s supply of alcohol is so far below the demand that the so- called “spirits central” organization which primarily supplies the army's néeds has announced that it will be igcompelled to limit sharply deliveries of brandy and spirits for other pur- poses, especially for drinking. About forty per cent of the former amount will be allowed the larger industries for use in March and slightly more to smaller concerns. The supply of de- natured alcohol for fuel lights also sust be curtailed. An effort will be made to save.for human consumption a large portion of the supply of potatoes now in distil- leries and to induce distilleries to un- dertake the production of crude sug- ar.

A very enthusiastic meeting of the Woman’s club was held in the inter- ests of the Red Cross Tuesday afters noon at the First Baptist church, Mrs. Irederick IH, Churchill presided at the meeting in her ever-charming manner. A musical program was the and enjoyvable features of the afternoon. Miss Iran- ces Joy favored with two Dbrilliant piano selections, a prelude by Chopin and the other by Straus. She was followed by Mrs, Theodore Brown who most charmingly sang a number of Scotch and Indian songs.

Wetmore, vice president of the local chapter, described in detail, the splendid work which has been ac- complished here, by the ladies of New Britain. Miss Mary Brown followed with a list of the contents of the nineteen boxes which have been sent across the water from the local chap- ter since November 10, 1914. They contained shirts, hospital and day convalescent robes, mufflers, wristlets, stockings and bandages of every de- scription, also bedding and towels, a sum of articles which totals 2,446. Much of the money needed for pur- chasing the material for these arti- cles has come from the chapter and other sums have most generously been glven to the ladies personally for rental of sewing machines, o©x- press charges, etc. A little sketch telling what the women of the city made for the sol- diers was one of the interesting num- bers on the program. Mrs. George S. Talcott read a very pathetic war story which was supposed to have taken place during the years 1861- 1864. Miss Lettie H.
