American Training Camp In France
Not until the recent arrival In camp Of
certain American newspapers did the
soldiers Of the American expedtt1onary
forces become aware that efforts were
being made IN certain quarters 10 1x
upon them the name Sammy"
That name never Is heard on this
side. Within the past few days the
newspaper correspondents have been
approached by great numbers Of the
officers and men asking that something
be sent home telling the people there
how the standard bearers Of the Amer
lean army really resent what they con-
slider an inapt, undignined and irTltat-
ing name.
1t can also be stated that the resent
ment does not rest alone with the off,
GERS and men Of the army, but that 1t
extends to all Americans resident in
Paris and other parts Of France, many
having written In to say that they con-
slider Sammy" most unsuitable for
men who have come to France serious
ly and earnestly to fight for the hber-
ties Of the peoples Of the world.
"Please hit the Sammy propaganda
as hard as you can," said an officer Of
distinguished rank to a correspondent
'"rhe men and officers would be proud
to have an appropriate nickname, but
there Is not one among us who thinks
Sammy is in any way suitable, and It
certainly is not desired.
''Ths name does not In any way suit

course, that it is an effort to play upon
the name of Uncle Sam. But who
would think Of calling Uncle Sam Un-
Gle Sammy? It Is ridiculous"

EXIT OF WHISKY
SET FOR SEPT. 8

All processes in the production of dis
titled spirits for beverage purposes must
cease at IL pm. on Saturday, Sept. 8.
This ruling was issued last week by
Herbert c. Hoover, federal food admin
istrator.
Under the prohibitive section of the
food control act it is provided that from
and after 80 days from the date of the
approval" of the act, no foods, fruits,
food materials, or feeds, shall be used in
the production of distilled spirits for
beverage purposes.
The 30-day period named will expire
at midnight Sept. g. This date falls on
Sunday, and as the internal revenue
laws prevent the operation of dlstilleries
after II O'Clock at night on Saturday
until the following Monday at l am, it
is held by the food administrator that
the law becomes effective on Saturday
night, Sept. 8,
Beer GuZZIers to Get Less Alcohol
Reduction of alcohol in beer to per
cent is expected to be Hoover's next
grain conservation step. He is said to
have decided beer strength must be re-
duced from its present FL and per
cent alcohol to save 35, 200, 900 bushels
OF grain. No loss of revenue would re.
suit on this reduction, though there
might be less drunks.
