thOrized TO make regulations govern
ing the prohibition Of alcoholic liquors
'in or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not he sold or sup
piled but it will be Illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or spirituous liquors at
any military station, cantOnment,
camp fort, post or officers or enlisted
mems club.
1t will he unlawful for anyone to
sell Intoxicating liquor, including
beer, to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention of the setting up of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president is author
lied to call II, 100000 men to the colors
is expected to have great moral eff
feet in Germany. 1t Is quite true that
the entire force he can commander
at this time will number two and a
quarter million. But even this num-
her would constitute a reinforcement
which British and French officers say
would assure victory If employed in
France.

England to date has raised some
100000 men. With the exception Of a
couple of million these men are at
the front in France, Belgium, Egypt,

What the president and Secretary

Germany, then probably they will be

But Germany doubtless will watch

New York, Aug. 9.-Wan street took a calmer view today of the price con trol situa ton. but professionals press ed their advantage tentatively, though rallies of one to three points ruled at the close.
 There were signs of substantial sup port in war issues and steels during the occasional intervals of unsef tle- ment but certain equipments and the motors were again under a clouIs ~5Oe- pression in the latter group was en- phasized by receivership proceedings against a concern making automobile parts.
 Shippings and rails, especially the former were conspicuous for their comparative strength at all times and tobaccos continued their rise under the auspices of pools. Other strong and active specialties Included Indus sugars and a few utilities.
 The recovery, which became more general in the final hour, resulted mainly from the customary covering no change from it's long sustained apathy. Sales amounted to $50 900 shares.
 Gail moneys advance to 4 per cent, with a concurrent stiffening of time loans, was the outcome in large part of enormous payments now under way. Foremost among these is the $500. .0O0,- 900 of treasury certificates of indebt- edness.
 Foreign exchange retained it's ir- regular characteristics, remittances to Paris hardening slightly, while fires another decline. Rates on neutral countries were more varia b1e but Swiss and Dutch rates ruled steady. The noteworthy feature of the Bank of England statement was the gain in gold of approximately $5,- 900, 900.

This years team at the state institution down the river has a lot of revenge to get be- fore they can hear the name Athletics or Eagles mentioned with eQuanamity. However the team that is now repre- senting the Hospital is in the opinion of fans the best team that has been on a local diamond for long time. Sfpple will be on the mound for the visitors and Danny Hourigan will do the twirling for the local boys.
