CAPTAINS MINISTER CONFIRMS BEPORT OF THE FLEET APPOINTMENTS FOR INSULT TO "OLD GLORY." Secretary of State Makes No Demand For a Salute--Insult Ocenrs When McManus Is Slain and Home Loot. ed, : Washington, March 27 How the American flag which was flying over the home of John B. MeManus, ci tizen of the United States, in a Mexi City, was 'torn and dragged y down the pole," by Zapata soldiers when they murdered McMa- nus and looted his house two weeks ago, is told in dispatches from the Brazilian Minister made public by Secretary Bryan. The incident was reported at the time the death of McManus was } ing investigated, but there no confirmation of it u Secretary Bryan said request fo paration had been made, but that far no reply had come. In answer ti inquiries he said there had been no demand for a salute to the flag | as in the Tampico affair. An expression of regret for the 'killing of McManus already has been | received from General Palafox, the Zapata commander, with a promise of indemnity for the family and pun- ishment for the slayers if apprehend- ed, can half re 80 Mr. Bryan explained .that the Brazilian Minister in reporting Mec- Manus' death March 11th, mentioned | only the fact that the American flag! was flying over the house. The next] day he sent a further report referr- ing to the "desecration of the flag." The inquiry from the department | as to what this meant brought an | explanation on March 16th that an| if American committee which investi] gated the occurrence reported to him that "following a fusilliading! which preceded the genarl entry of the Zapatistas "into the house the flag was badly torn by the Zapatistas and dragged half way down the pole." The same commitiee, the Minister | reported, had submitted to him aj In this conection it became known! | to-day that several foreign flags had | | the house of the American ranchman. | | When the matter was called to the! | attention of General Carranza he de-| nied the truth of the reports of Am-| erican and British consuls. { A VIGOROUS STATEMENT. PEEP PIRPOPE REPENS | Alcohol More Deadly Than Gunpow- | der, Says Lloyd George. | Lloyd George, as Chancellor of the | British Exchequer, would take risks | for Britain against all the German submarines in all the British seas, rather than against the drink habit of the British people and the legali- zed liquor traffic of the British' na- That choice would be wise safe; statesmanlike: Indeed, it is 'now becoming a common saying | among the economists and social re-| { formers that for the Allies the war | itself, immeasurable though its los- | ses must be, would have in them a | 8®in (0 mateh if it brought about the | complete and permanent abolition of | the liquor and drug habits in Britain, {#% France and in Russia. At this | moment the problems of the war, so | far as Britain is concerned, are being | aggravated in their difficulty by the | drink habits of the people. No wond- {er the Chanceller of the Exchequer | declares the Government will exercise its wide powers fearlessly, The soon- i er the better for Britain's sake, and the world's. : The very deepest tragedy of the war is that. so many hundreds of tho- usands of Britain's bes{ breed, the young, the virile, the fit, are march- ed out to wounding and death, while a percentage of the next generation [of Britons, greater than ever before in British history, will be bred by the undersized, the unheroic, the unnery- ed, who will breed after their kind | their handicapped and thewless pro- | geny. War will kill the fit. The un-| fit will survive and their children' will be made still more unfit by the | liquor habits whith destroyed their parents.
