At a dinner at the British-Russian club of Lon don tortiglit the speakers urged the necessity of countering the efforts of Germany to gain ascendency in Rus sia. Sir John Norton Grrrffths said that the government 'in the work of reconstruction should, not forget to take advantage of the material Rus sia could place at the disposal of the British empire. ' '' ' ' Sir George Buchanan, late ambas sador to Russia,- fervently prayed that Russia would come out of the present chaos and become once more a great united country allied to Great Britain. "We must not despair," he said, "but look ahead and wait patiently for the hour or redemption. We must be prepared for that moment and hold out a helping hand to Russia. If Germany is permitted to control Russia's enormous man-power, natu ral resources and unexplored wealth', she would become mistress of the east, and whatever conditons we might impose upon her in the' west she would have won the war.".

T 'SL BEVERAGE PLANT ST. I.OIIS, May 10. The eomple tion of the new $8,000,000 Bcvo plant in St. Louis is u noticuble war time industrial achievement. The con struction of this plant, the largest and most perfectly equipped of its kind in the world, was made nccess- ,ary by tile extraordinary demand for tho highly meritorious non-alcoholic beverage perfected under the persohul supervision of August A. Busch, pres ident of Anhenuser-Biisch, who suc ceeded his falher, the iato Adoiphus Itiisch, as head of the many great Anheuser-Busch industrial institutions. After years of scientific experi ments and original research, Bcvo was created for iwo purposes: As an aid to the promotion of Mr. Busch's pluns for a real, sane tem lerance program in America, based Upon education and intelligent moral development ; and to supply the pub lic with the highest quality of non alcoholic beverage thnt'scienee and nulnufacliiriiig skill could produce. Bcvo has been a positive aid fo the government in carrying out its mili tary temperance program, for it has become the favorite beverage of the Army and navy, and is extensively used on battleships and in canton ments with the approval of the heads of the navy ami war departments. Tho Biis.h-Sulzer Bros. Dissel En gine Co. of St. Louis, of which Mr. Busch is the principal owner and president, has been engaged contin uously and exclusively since America entered the war in building engines of the finest and most perfect type for American submarines, airplanes and the United States navy.
