LIQUOR RULES FOR CAMPS.
CantOnments Principally Affected by
Army Regulations.

Assistant United States District At
torney Henry Ward Beer, of Brook
lyn, N. ", has called the attention of
liquor dealers to statement issued
by the War Department affecting the
sale of intoxicants near cantonments.
The statement is intended to make
clear that the regulations established
by the President prohibiting the sale
of alcoholic liquors within five miles
of military camps were not meant to
apply TO all the small or temporary
camps
THE President" says the War De-
partment. directs that the term mill
tary camps employed in the regula-
tions established by the President
shall be construed to refer only to
cantonments or camps established for
the mobilization and training of divi-
sions of the national army or divisions
composed of members of the National
Guard drafted into the service of the
United States, to training camps es-
tablished under authority of Section
81 of the National Defense Act, ap-
proved June 3. 1916, to camps at ports
of embarkation, to other camps desig-
mated as ambulance camps, and to
camps designated as aviation camps.
I'm that connection the War De-
partment, Eastern Division, has de-
cided, upon the advice of Colonel G.
c. Dodds, Judge Advocate. that the
following places come within the
military terms:
Aviation Camp at Mineola. L. L.;
Camp A. L. Mills, where the Forty
second Division is establishing head
quarters, Mineola, L. l., and Camp
Upton, Yaphank, L. /"
At the request of United states Dis
trict Attorney France. Major Myers,
in charge of the Yaphank canton
ment. has prepared map showing
the geographical boundaries of the
district affected and Internal Revenue
Collector H. P. Keith has compiled a
list of the saloons within the five-mile
zone at YaDhank, which will be in
vestigated. The information has been
turned over to the Department OF
Justice for the purpose of enforcing
the Presidents proclamation

CRIPPLES BEING FORCED
BACK INTO GERMAN ARMY
Miners Inaufficiently Fed and Coal
Output Cut The Situation
CeriouS
a despatch from Copehagen says:

A despatch from Copehagen says:
Revelations of the growing difficult
ties of Germany are coming out dur
ing discussions in the Reichstag Main
Committee at Berlin.
The trouble which the military au-
thorities have to obtain men to fill the
ranks of the army is shown by an in
terpellation by Deputy Davidsohn,
calling attention TO the practice of re-
calling to the service pensioners dis
charged for disability
The Interpolation says that men re-
ceiying pensions for so per cent and
more of total disability, and even Grip
piles to whom supplementary pesions
have been granted, are being constant
ly forced into the army again. and
that in some cases men are taken from
hospitals before their treatment is
completed
Statements made in the Reichstag
committee in debate on the fuel PROP
lem show that strikes of miners in
Silesia last month reduced the Ger
man production of coal by more than
100000 tons, and Vice Chancellor
Helfferich uttered an urgent and earn
est warning against further strikes.
The Government report stated that
the production had been affected by
inadequate food supplies. This was
corroborated by speakers of various
parties, who said that undernourished
workmen could not do a normal
days work. A representative of the
military authorities stated in the
same connection that more miners
could not be spared from the army
The gravity of the situation is
shown by the seriously considered
proposal to restrict the production of
iron, although this is needed for
munitions.
Socialists, Centre. and Radical
speakers brought up this subject in
connection with the question of the
recent retirement of General Groenor,
the Munitions Minister. who, accord
ing to a current report, was forced
out of the War Bureau by representa-
tives of the coal, iron, and steel indus
tries because be insisted on adequate
protection of the interests of work
men under the civil mobilization law.
Speakers asserted that the explana-
tions of the Government regarding
the Generals retirement were unsat2
isfactorv.

Anchorage has one mlLe Ot n foot concrete walks, 47 autos, 26I restaurants, and one hotel alone has IS private baths. The people of Alaska do not realize what a metro politan city has grown up within their midst"
 This is the statement of Andrew Stevenson, president of the Bank of Alaska, who has just returned from sR extended trip to Anchor age and CordoYa.
 Anchorage is prosperous, and the outlook for the winter is the best iu its short history" he con- thued. About 15O0 men are employed by the Alaska Engineer- ing Commission for the winter, and in addition there are 2760 men working at various tasks in the city. Six hundred eighty one women are making Anchorage their home. More families will stay In Anchorage this winter than ever before. Two hun dred fifty children are in the day school and 100 men attend night school"
 MT. Stevenson stated that An chorage has the most complete light water and sewage system in Alas ka. Although the Alaska Engi- ueering Commission has done re- markable work in the construction of the railroad, the people them selves are the ones who have con ,structed Anchorage, the most mod ern city in Alaska
 Speaking of the railroad MT. Stevenson said construction work has been completed 100 miles north of Anchorage or 214 miles from Se- ward. Anchorage itself is on mile .114. The end of the steel from Seward is mile T. The south end of the track from Anchorage is mile 91; leaving a winter trail of 20 miles over which mail and sup plies ~ill have '0 be brought by dog team.
 Beginning with Anchorage and continuing north there are cer- tain natural minerals and deposits that insure the permanency of the city. e: Anchorage itself are large deposits of lime stone, great deal of which is used in the city. Brick | making Is one of the big industries | of the railroad town.
 About mile 136 the route runs into the big coal region, and a brancb railroad has been construct ed for 3S miles to the Chickaloon fields from which the government is at the present time shipping l coal for its own use.
 On this branch route the govern ment has opened up a coal field at Esca which gives promise of be- ing a big producer. At unit 12, however, the Hggest development work has been done and this un- doubIedly will be the biggest coal mine in the group.
