BEER IS BETTER THAN MILK!

-SAYS EXPERT

Vienna, Dec. 31. Beer drinkers of the world, re- joice!

Beer is even better than milk for your health.

At least, that is what Austrias brewers,

alarmed over the

steady decrease of the beer con- sumption in these parts of the world, maintain in a flaming apology of their product.

A pint of beer is not only as nourishing as a pint of milk, but, in addition, is rich in vitamine "B" and It also contains the invigorating "Lupuline" stimulant.

Brewers claim that half a pint of beer contains 300 calories and, there- fore, corresponds to four rolls or to slightly less than two ounces of butter,

As beer further has a calming effect, it is the ideal nightcap." according to the brewers' theory.

It is extremely easy to digest and is, therefore, an excellent food for persons, recovering from an illness.

The

brewers, however, ready adralt in their culogy of Gambrinus that excessive beer drinking is harm- ful...

But would not excesses in the con- sumption of other foods, for instance of milk, also have fairly unpleasant consequences?

Officer In The Tower

London, Dec. 17.

"I see no reason why n young man, just because he has once done some- thing rather foolish, should be forced to go through life with the stigma of 'spy' attached to his name.

That is why Mr. John McGovern, M.P., will soon hold a private inquiry which he hopes will result in the vindication of Mr. Norman complete Ballile-Stewart (the officer in the Tower) when Mr. Stewart comes out prison next January. It has been of persistently reported that he will go

Mr. Baille-Stewart, formerly a Lieutenant in the Seaforth. Highland- ers, was found guilty in April, 1033, of charges under the Ofelil Secrets Act. He was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.

"His mother expects that he will be released in three months time," Mt. McGovern said.

"I have arranged that he will then make a complete statement, incor- porating facts which were not pub- lished during his trial, which was mainly heard in camera.

"With this, and other collected evi- dence to go on, several influential men in Army and civic life will fool the bill for a court of Inquiry that will be independent of the War Ofice. "Too much of the trial, in my opinion, was held in camera. It "should have been a civil court in- quiry, anyway. His confession, for instance, bore no relation whatsoever to the grounds on which he convicted."

YEAR OLD Andres Revertes WOS chief of Public Order in Barcelona until a few days ago. He had power of life and death over the city's million people. He rode through the streets in a big, new car,

To-day he sits alone in a cell in the prison fortress on Montjuich-Mount of Jews— overlooking the city. One day this week militiamen will take him out and hand him over to one of the People's Courts. Accusations of abusing his power will be shouted at him be- fore. workmen judges and a mixed jury.

He has been accused of white- slaving, of having ordered the murder several of his step-mother and

friends, of having "put out of the way" an offelal who married the woman he wanted.

Reveries will be escorted back to the Mount of Jews for the last time after the trial. Knowing so well the workings of these courts-where the Judges cry

But the true reason that led to Revertes's trial was his implication in a plot to overthrow the Anarchist government that terrorises Barcelona,

People had begun to ask why various officials of the Catalan State the in- Party-which stands for

dependence of Catalonia-were dis- appearing g and anarchists taking their places. The Anarchist Press then told the public that reorganisation -was-taking place, all for the good of

the republic.

One of

the the leaders of Separatist Party, Casanovas, es. caped to France. Reveries. WRI arrested.

I have been told that had the plot succeeded it might have led to Cata- lonia negotiating for a separate peace with Franco. The plot was Inspired by Alerce resentment against Anarchist rule and by a desire to Aave Catalonia from becoming part of the field of war.

Not death from threatened, insur- gent bombardment, but death from unknown assassins, who work at night, is the fear that stalks the city to-day. The poor, the oncé rich and even Catalan Government officers go to their beds not knowing if they will ever awake

'Soldiers Eat First'

Added to this is a serious food shortage. All suffer except Govern ment officers and their friends. Rifles, were flred recently when housewives raised a violent outcry at one of the daily markets. The soldiers must have food they were told. Thirty tons of provisions are sent to Madrid every day from Catalonia.

Newspapers publish brief counts of deportations of suspreted foreigners. They publish briefer announcements of excéu.. tions, Just the names of the dozen or so men who pass rapidly before the People's Tribunal to be sentenced by workmen judges. The public hears nothing of the scores of men stricken down in the night, or carried away under cover of darkness to the Mount of Jews.

Ruling committees come and go with disconcerting rapidity, and while they hold office they use their power, to wreak vengeance:

Meanwhile retugees, all every road from Madrid: Barcelona, it is estimated, is a temporary haven for 200,000 old men, women, and· children.
