resorts for the sale Of liquor should be
closed, the Officers Club at Soho
field went bone dry" last Saturday
at noon.
II was re ,orted that other officers
clubs woula take the same action,
but the star-BulIetin was told this
morning that no other club similarly
sells liquor, and that the closing Of the
Schofield club bar would mean that
all the posts on Oahu are now dry.
No liquor Is sold to enlisted men on
the reservations, and since the clos.
ing OF Leilehua beer garden the only
approach to a sale OF liquor through
a saloon near 3 post has been abro,
gated
The officers at Schofield, in taking
their action, felt that the club should
set an example, inasmueh as army
men have been prominent in urging
the closing Of saloons for the war pc

heard the news today said:

entered the Army from civil life in
1912. He will leave at an early date

products of era of military aero

| ion carried three large sacks of mail

terriers. Their engine dying, they
| glided no less than five miles to Colon
| ma, Dublan, and landed without spill

| cry.
