U. S. TO TEST TARS'

Proprietor and Walters Of Cafe

tanning the real 4 per cent that lbo
sailors and marines were drinking in
Pabst's Subway Cafe. 60 East Four

Dwyers men entered last Tuesday
night?
This question must be threshed out
in the Federal court, for United States
Commissioner Hitchcock held Philip
Faurer, proprietor of the place, and
three Of his walters In $500 ball each
yesterday on charges OF violation OF the
new army law by which sailors and SOL
diers alike are compelled to 60 bone

Jack tars were only drinking a concoc-
ton known as Pablo beer" which Is a
beer without any kick and while shaking
the thirst does not excite or inspire, and
some of the policemen who saw the
whole thing were by no means sure that
Il wasn't
Nevertheless, the Commissioner up
held the contention of Assistant United
States Attorney Edwin NJ. Stanton that
booEeless beer would not be apt to draw
so large a congregation OF sailors, and
he decided the case to be worthy of q
jury elaboration.
According to the testimony given by
Sergeant Jones' who was nrst in the
door when the officers raided the up
stairs room where the fluid was being
served, the sight that greeted the eyes
OF the cops would have caused Secre-
tary Daniels much agitation.
There lounged abou the place enough
sailors to man small sized warship,
while about the room pranced winsome
lasses who bade the seafaring men be
merry. and on the tables reposed many
and many a foaming glass of amber
colored liquid.

ion ON the march. There was hardly

That. however. Is a matter merely
to be laughed at. The manifest fit

overshadowing impression. Rosy
checked and black jowled. tall. short.

along with the easy grace OF men
who can march-and march-and
march--and fight a good fight at
the end of the longest road. Some
machines work smoothly, without
much power; others make tre-
mendous clatter. and some Of the ex-
posed parts of the mechanism look
awkward enough. But the chief end
of all mechanics Is to do the work
