value than that for which thousands

All these men realize that the time

Of honorable service in the army,
with the resulting physical trining,

ledge acquired, will be invaluable to
any man who desires to be prepared
to serve his country in time of war
and will greatly increase his efficien-
cy in his chosen pursuits in civil
life.
menaing Of Military Discipline
1t is only regretted that a MAORI
ty Of our people do not understand
more the conditions surrounding the
service. Some persons have gained
the impression that enlisted men
are badly treated by their officers.
Such impressions are. usually created
by undesirable soldiers who have
been put out of the service and who
seek to injure the service they dis
graced. The fact u.s.. the commission
ed officers as a body are kind and
considerate of the enlisted mems
needs and welfare. Other peoule do
not seem to understand the mean
ing of military discipline. Military
discipline is no more severe and in
many respects exacting than the dis
cipline of any great business con-
Germ. 1t entails no greater penal
ties for infraction than is customary
in any business corporation. 1t in
cludes nothing that is not contem-
plated by honor, honesty and good
manners, and it bestows lasting be-
nefit upon those who acquire the
habit if living under it, for above
all it teaches the vertues of self re-
straint and self control. So great
are the benefits of military training
and discipline that it is believed
there are few men who would not
have .profited by a term Of service
in the army, and, by reason of their
training, would not earlier have be-
come imbued with their responsible
lities as citizens.
Not all Pay
1t is not intended to convey the
idea that soldier can follow a ca
reer Of a quarter of a century or
more in the army and not at times
have sode discomfort and hardships,
some disagreeable experiences-pos-
sibly some real grievances. On the
contrary, such are to be expected in
any station or occupation of life,
and the army is no exception. How
ever, the young man who does only
halfway right will have no cause to
fear that his services will not be
pleasant and satisfactory to all.

Total Prohibition of
All Alcoholic Drinks
in France Decided On

Paris, Dec. a. - Total prohibition
throughout France of the consumption
of such alcoholic beverages as whisky,
brandies and liquors have been decided
on by the government. This is shown
by the text in the Journal Officel to-
day of Premier Brands declaration
yesterday before the Chamber of
Deputies on the subject. The premier
said:
THE government will ask you to
give it the faculty of solving by de-
crees all questions of interest in re-
gard to the national defense which the
laws are too slow to regulate. A
particularly grave question which can
be regulated only in war time. the
solution of which involves the life of
the country and its salvation, is the
total suppression of the consumption
of alcohol"
The premier's remarks were greeted
with loud applause from many of the
benches. Deputy Mayeras interject-
ed: "In the army also?"
''Yes. in the entire country" said
the premier.
The use of the term alcohol in this
connection is understood in France to
include such beverages as absinthe,
which already has been suppressed; !;
whiskies, brandies and liquors, but not
wines or beer.

CLEARED OF FORCES
Teutons Are Nearing Buzeu;
Allies Have Not Yet ES-
tabliShed Line

While the warning nations are
awaiting definite developments from
the presentation of peace proposals by
Germany and her allies the operations
on the various lighting fronts are pro-
ceeding as usual. The immediate flu
concerned, is indicated as likely to
be taken up by consultations among
the entente powers preliminary to the
sending of a joint reply.
Interest in military developme
still centers upon Rumania, where the
armies of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen are fighting their way forward de-
spite the difficulties of transport caus-
ed by the bad condition of the roads in
a Rumanian winter.
Whether the Rumanians have sue
ceeded in establishing themselves
along the line of the Buzeu, near the
southern Moldavian border is not yet
apparent. Berlin's last specific men,
tion in this connection was made in
last nights communication in which
the Teutonic forces were reported to
be nearing the Buzeu. In any event. 1t
appears that the Rumanian evacuation
of southern Waliacia is virtually COM

of the arest-Tchernavoda rail-
way, has been cleared of hostile forces

the city health bureau regulations
were issue dto-day by DIR. j. M. j. Raul

the action was taken by the health

the health officers instructions were
back up by his departmental chief,
City Commissioner Harry F. Bowman,
superintendent of public safety.
IN connection with the health bu-
reau's orders" said Mr.. Bowman,
you can say that if, upon investiga-
ton of complaints of any resident
as to the failure of the garbage con-
tractor to make collections, it be found
that the contracting company has re-
FUSED to collect the ashes. etc., from
proper receptacles, the company will
be fined $50 for each violation.
IF, on the other hand, it is found
that the citizen hasn't complied with
the regulations by providing the
proper cans, he will be subject to
prosecution"
The new order, which becomes eff

of varied receptacles used as ash con-
tainers, by many of our people, too
much time is lost and the ash COL

"As a result of this unsatisfactory
condition of affairs, this bureau is
forced to require all householders to
provide themselves with regulation
covered metal ash cans, as specified
in the contract.

which crashed into the Merchants and
