SALOONS NOT To
CASH CHECKS
STATE SOLON INTRODUCED BILL
IN LEGISLATION TO RESTRICT
OLD TIME PRIVILEGE.

Olympia, Feb. 2O.-Bartenders
who induce drunken men to draw
checks will lose their graft if a bill
introduced in the house by Sayre of
Pierce becomes a law,
incidentally the proposed law will
probably keep down the penitentiary
population about one-tenth, not to
speak of the good it will do in saw
ing the disgrace of convict stripes to
many poor, unfortunate victim of
drink
Water McCallum, state clerk at
the penitentiary, is thefather of the
bill, and he has compiled data from
the prison records to show that the
law is absolutely needed.
Investigations show that in ma
jority of cases of forgery the defend
ant was drunk when he passed the
paper, that he had it cashed in a
saloon and spent the proceeds over
the bar.
Sayres bill provides that no check
can be cashed by any saloonkeeper
in any saloon. The penalty runs up
to a maximum fine of $500 and six
month Imprisonment.

WAR SECRETARY SAYS BRITISH
AND GERMANY LEAD IN AVAIL
ABLE TRAINED SOLDIERS.
(By Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 2O.-Speaking at
Newcastle today ON the subject of
the proposed imperial German staff
for the army, Secretary of War Hal
dane gave general outline of the
strength of the over sea forces as
contemplated under the imperial
scheme. Canada, he said, could
easily raise five or six territorial di-
visions; Australia, five; New Zealand
one, and South Africa four or five.
These in addition to the existing
fourteen divisions of territorial for
ces of the United Kingdom, would
give total Of thirty divisions for
home defense, with sixteen divisions
of the regular army ready for over
sea service. 1t was thus hoped to
attain to an imperial army of 46
divisions, equivalent to % army
corps. This was just the strength of
the German army, Haldane said, and
no other army in the world had such
a great organization.
