WINE MOT DANGEROUS
General Pershing Discusses Recent
Ruling Regarding Soldier Beverages.


Ruling Regarding Soldier Beverages.
with the American Army in France,
Friday, Dec % (By the Associated
Press) General Pershing in an in
terview with correspondents today
said the question of prohibiting the
sale of all Intoxicating liquors to
American soldiers. which he favors is
being discussed with the French gov
eminent He explained his recent or
der prohibiting the sale of all intoxi-
cants, except light wine and beer, and
the conditions prevailing in France
which caused it to be drawn as it
was.
"Aitho l am heartily in favor of
prohibition for the American expedi-
tionary ferce,'' said General Pershing,
the situation in France and the
United states is not the same. Com
partively few French people drink wa
ter as we do; they drink wine instead.
This is partly because the French wa
ter supply is not as sure as ours.
French wine is light and much less
Intoxicating than is generally sup
posed An intoxicated Frenchman is
a rare sight indeed.
Local Sentiment Decides.
French beer is by no means
strong The French government is
sues to it's soldiers "a regular wine ra-
ton. Obviously there are obstacles to
forbidding wine shops in the zone of
the army to do business at ALL which
practically is what the French would
have to do. Local sentiment will play
a large part in the determination of
the questions.
- The same order which forbade SOL
diers taking strong drink contained
the most rigid regulations to prevent
the spread of social diseases. The
two Questions are closely connected.
Thus far the record of the army in
both respects has been most excel
lent. 1t is highly gratifying to me
and it is testimonial to the high
character of the American soldier
Everything possible is being done to
protect his morals and his health and
to make him an honor to himself and
his cUuntryfn en-
