IN " CHAMPAGNE FAMINE l'aria, Aug. 27.-(Associated Press Correspondence. )-Pink champagne, or ?ven red, is a threatened possibili ty as a result of the A ir, unless the winegrowers of the chanipagu dis trict are helped out by white wino growers of other regions. The glass works of HOI tl,n u France and of Bel gian that have furnished wine grow ers of t io champagne dist riet aro ehort of casks-more than half of last year's vintage helm; still in (tie wood. Tho use of casks from Hie Burgundy tuti Bordeaux red-wine re gion? ?ma been proposed, ami if this suggestion is taken up there are chances that Uie cru of 1015 will be pink, it would be Impracticable to thoroughly cleanse the red-wine casks of their color, and it ls said taut the roddish color would in no wise lia rm the champagne. The "Mountains of Rheims" where the champagne ls produced have, like Uno "Holghts of the Meuse" disap peared from thc official communique. The steady pressure from IMO French side o? the fighting lino disengaged finally the last of the Important cham pagne vineyards, though those of St. Thierry and llarmonville to the north of the river Verde are rigiit next to tho trenches, and t'Uose on the northern Blope of the enemy's ar tillery. Notwithstanding all tho dif ficulties the 2.->,000 acres of thc Cham pagne district will produce one-third more wine than last year, bringing tho total to the normal average before the war. Inexperienced women and chjld ren, guided by old wine-growers, did the pruning between January l"i and the end of March. Women also fought the mildew, and, altogether, succeeded so well that the war diffi culties will have had far less influ ence on thc crop than thc vine dis eases that prevailed four years ago end prevented the formation of tho fruit, or than Hie inundations of 1910. For tlie gathering of tho crop more trouble la anticipated than lai't year. After tho battle of the Marne there were a great many refugeos In tho champagne country, who hoiped with the vintage. These have boon evacu ated since. Moreovor the auMiorltlat-, hesitate to allow women and children to expose themselves any louder on the northern slope of thc "Mountains' o? Rheims" where they aro liable n*.y day to bo caught by a ?tray shell. Leave will doubtless be given to a sufficient number of wlu^-growers under anns to do thia work, a? well as Cae operation of tho COO wlnt presses in the., department of the .Marne, requiring eat< . five men dur ing a period of fifteen days. The commercial Importance of the champagne country to France ap pears from the latest figure? avail able, those of^BrWFOribo total pro duction of fine wines, valued at $31, 000,000. the champagne district pro duced $15,000,000, the rest conting from the Burgundy and Bordeaux ro gions principally.
