ARMY DRINK LAW
WILL Be TESTED
IN POLICE COURT

The hrst real test Of the law for
bidding the sale OF intoXicants to
men in Uncle Sans uniform will be
made before a jury in Police Court
tomorrow, Judge Pugh today having
overruled the motion of James A.
O'Shea. attorney for three defendants.
to Quash the information against
them
The Government attaches to the
cases deep Importance. as was indi-
Gated by the presence in court today
OF District Attorney Laskey and As
sistant District Attorneys James II.
Archer and Ralph Given. Mr.. Archer
will have. II IL understood. direct
charge of the prosecution tomorrow.
The FIRST case TO be called will be
that OF Patrick ]. Cooke, Georgetown
saloon keeper: August Wolf, and
Richard CLANCY. all OF whom were
arrested in Cookies saloon last month,
where, the Government alleges, they
were serving liquor to q bar-roOm full
OF soldiers.
1t is said that two Of the men stood
behind tie bar and served the drinks.
while the third man, It Is alleged.
acted as intermediary. taking the
money from the soldiers and making
the payments for them.
Attorney O'SheA's motion TO quash
the indictment contained nine para
graphs, one charging that the infor-
nation said fell" and deliver" when
the law used only the word fell" He
also held that the information should
be filed in the name OF the District
of Columbia and not the United
States
motion for a severance was also
made by the attorney who wished each
defendant TO be tried separately. but
this also was overruled.
Altogether. ten defendants charged
with selling liquor to men in uniform
have asked for jury trials. and expect
to be heard this week. The outcome
OF the trial OF Cooke, Wolf, and
CLANCY. however. is expected to have
an influence on the other cases.

GUARDSMEN MUST

WHILE WARLASTS

Every national guardsman in the
United States 20 was in the services
when the country entered the war viii
be held until the cessation of hostili-
ties. irrespective OF when his enlist.
ment expires.
Although a number of soldiers in
the Third ReCi1-ht. District National
Guard, have comp eted their terms Of
enlistment. they have not been al
lowed to lay aside their uniforms for
civilian attire. Under the terms Of
the CONSUMPTION u. OF May IS the
soldiers must remain In the services
until' the end Of the present smsr-
gency.
Col. Glendie B. Young, command
ing the Third Regiment, mas ordered
that all men who complete their en-
nstments be given a full weeks
leave before beginning the extra
hitch" OF indefinite duration. A
large number OF members OF the
regiment are now enjoying . weeks
leave. As yesterday was pay day
the soldiers were spending their
money literally today for luxuries
not to be found at camp.
The Second Battalion, commanded
by Major Wallach AfcCathran, Is now
at the Congress Heights rifle range,
where II will remain until the regt
ment leaves for GreenvIlle, s. c.

tional army is the amazing number
OF men who have dependent relatives.
In some cases the number reported to
Provost Marshall Crowder runs up to
so per cent.
Many of the governors and MEM
bers of exemption boards are sug-
costing to General Crowder that the
word "d.pendent'' ought 10 be
promptly defined. Some declare that
a dependent relative Is one who would
become a public charge IL deprived Of
the income of the Individual drafted
for military service.
Drastic Interpretation.
But this Is rather a drastic inter
probation and the provost marshal Is
loath to take such a step without ad-
ditlonal legislation, as he believes
Congress in framing the law did not
have In mind eXemptinE only those
whose relatives could not support
themselves.
But such confusing statistics have
been received as to the number of
men who claimed exemption, the ply
sIcalIy unfit, and those engaged in
occupations related to the national
defense that IT is unlikely any rec
ommendations for new legislation can
be made until the local boards have
finished examining the men sum-
moned under the nrst draft.
The War Department then may md
itself compelled to define deepen
dents" before the adjudication of
claims for exemption begins. Gen.
Crowder hopes to get one man out
of every four. He may be able to do
this without the drastic ruling on
dependent relatives. Time alone will
answer the question for him and re-
ports from the local boards are COM
ing in very slowly

RESENT MAKING
OF NEW CABINET

BERLIN, Aug. T-Open dissatisfac-

pressed by the liberal press today.
The TagebIatt was bitter in its
statements that the people had been
given no choice in the new govern
ment, and declared that ''real democ-
ratization or Observation-Disclosures re-
sembIing an exotic sea monster Is
the choice confronting Premier Mich
aelIs."
Representatives of tire people had
no influence in the cabinet appoint
ments," the Tageblatt declared. Ger
many received the new government as
q gift from above. There is no pos
sibIlity OF acknowledging or refusing
It
PARLIAMENT has no more rights
than other parliaments. The German
people have neither direct nor indI,
rect influence in the selection OF their
managers. They have no power and
no responsibility. They are exposed
TO the strokes OF fate"

Despite the dependency Of the Dis
trict for a water supply. Congress. in

to pay all expenses OF the upkeep OF

is in charge Of an engineer army
officer. whose authority is supreme.
1t Is not likely that the District
Commissioners will raise the question
before Congress OF either the United
States or the District having undI-
vided authority from start to finish
OF the water supply. but II H. known
that the Commissioners will be urged
by several District officials TO lay be-

which the District pays all expenses

your father" the wife alleges the re-
spondent said to her. He then seized

Tomorrow nights meeting will be

CAMP MEADE IS
AN EVELESS EDEN
FLAMING Sword" of Military
Banishes Women Residents
From Khaki City

Camp Meade. Annapolis Junction.
Md, Sept. 6.-Ere the snow flies the
second largest city in Maryland will
have been erected on this site-one
of the sixteen stag" municipalities
iE the Union. For official orders have
refused the reservation to women res
idents, and Camp Meade will try to
wiggle along as an Eveless Eden.
Plans which have been drawn compre-
hend concrete and macadam roadways
that would not shame any hustlinS
burg of $4,000. Great arc lights Will
blaze along the highways, while the
general headquarters will be in the
center of Great White Way, bit
smaller and less brilliant than the
Illuminated Elysian in Manhattan.
The contractors figure that it will
require two or three months to make
this metropolis of khaki blossom on
the rude campsite in Admiral. AL
ready several of the hustlers who
have finished their work on time are
busy getting the material ready to
start one of the concrete roads and
within a few weeks work will have
been started on all of them.
Major General Kuhn declared that
the camp could have handled the first
batch of drafted men yesterday by
stretching matters and taking what
he termed gamblers chance. But
he preferred to see that the water
passed all tests, that food could be
brought here in proper fashion and
that there wasn't hitch in the ar
rangements. So the General figured
that it might be a bit better to wait
couple of weeks than take any
chances. Hence the delay.
