Up to the present however, there
are no legal restrictions against the
operation OF the saloons except the
law itself. which is believed to be
open to various constructions be

- DEMING. n. ", Aug. 5O.-Dem-
ing's seven saloons may have a
chance to resume operations. ac-
cording to a message received here
yesterday afternoon by mayor Morris
Nordhaus from Summers Burkhart
United States district attorney from
New Mexico Mr.. Burkhart wires.
Department OF justice has no au-
thority to fix camp limits. War de-
partment does this
Mayor Nordhaus has wired the war
department. but has received no reply
as vet. However. the law passed by
congress creating these cautouments
for the training Of soldiers specifies
that no saloon shall be permitted TO
operate within half a mile OF a can
Torment.
Many incline 10 the belief that this
law referred TO saloons which might
attempt 10 start operations after the
environments were located and that it
IS not retroactfou and does not refer
10 saloons already IN existence in
cities and towns. particularly where
their licenses are now in existence
Tt is believed by some that this law
might prevent a renewal OF saloon
licenses. but many contend that it
did not mean TO close saloons already
in existence. As matter OF fact.
IL is contended that in most cases. a
cantonment would not be constructed
80 close TO a town as is this one At
DeminE- DeminE is the smallest town
In the United States to receive a can
Torment and the only one where the
-antOnment has been constructed so
close TO the limits Of the city itself
Can Saloons Be Closeds
By those who believe that the sa-
looms cannot be closed, the argument
IS advanced that the national. state
and municipal governments have all
licensed tie seven DeminE saloons for
The current fiscal year How. Their"
&c is asked. can the government come
In and say that these saloons must
-lose-a virtual coufiscation Of bust
ness-'
These advance the argument that
the city or DeminE might be told by
the war department that the canton
ueut would be moved unless the sa-
looms were closed and that in this
way the closing might be forced
through public sentiment but even in
his case, a vote OF the people on the
question Of prohibition would be nee
sssary. it is argued, and then the sa-
Don men would have to he given some
lefinite date for going out Of bust

"IT'S AN ILL WIND

Thousands of young men in America
are about to realize one of wars bless
ings in disguise. Every day that the reg
istration boards exempt man because
of physical disqualification someone is
sues from the examination room with
small store of knowledge with which he
may begin the struggle to regain his
health. II is matter of common report
that a majority Of the men who have
been rejected as unfit for military service
were ignorant of their ailments until the
examination of the official surgeon re
vealed the truth Some of them have
asked the doctors what TO do and were
advised to consult a physician at once
and submit TO treatment Technical dis
qualifications have ruled out any number
of young men eager to serve with the col
ors, but the fact remains that the larger
number of reflections could be traced to
physical infirmities of which the candi-
dtte in perhaps seven cases out of ten
was ignorant. Upon him devolves the
task of building up his health and the
health of generations to come depends |
very largely on the degree of persistence
which he uses in making the attack on !
disease. II they neglect their plain duty |
they may always be unfit for military !
duty and death may be theirs before the
appointed time. Yet il is not in the ma.
ture of the average man TO permit his
Affections to run along without medical
attention and in the end it viii be shown

cue furnished by the registration board
was the exception. If peace should de
velop over night the mastering Of a large

The smugglers' Notch Highway.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: / notice
in your issue of Aug. Is an editorial in
regard to Smugglers' notch in the towns
of Stowe and Cambridge, and reference
to the difficulty of constructing and
maintaining state highway through
this rocky defiIe Feeling that possibly
some people who have read your edi-
torial might be discouraged in attempt
ing TO approach this place of great nat
ural beauty and grandeur by automobile,
| desire to say just word.
You were quite correct in saying that
the mountain road had been greatly dam
aged by the heavy rains or cloud bursts
which have prevailed in this section of
the state and which have not only dam
aged the roads in Smugglers' notch, but
in the towns of Stowe, Morrisvlle and
Hyde Park, where almost unprecedented
precipitations have occurred.
II has been the desire of the highway
department to put the approach to
Smugglers' notch into such condition as
to make reasonably easy approach to
the east side of the mountain as far up
as the big spring, which is about one
half mile from the dividing line between
the water which flows into the Lamoille
