new YORK DRIVE OPENS
Charts and Diagrams, Showing Scien-
tihc Facts, Put on Exhibition;
Speakers Bureau Is
Planned

The Anti-Saloon League of New
York has started its fall drive by in
augurating its new statewide educa-
tional campaign with an exhibit OF
scientific charts and diagrams, with
a stcreo-motorgraph with temperance
slides, at the fourth national EXPOSE
ton of safety and sanitation, under
the joint auspices of the American
Museum of Safety and the National
Safety Council at the Grand Central
Palace, New York city.
The League has employed the Sci-
cntihc Temperance Federation, a ma
tional organization with headquarters
at Boston and the recognized scien-
tihc authority on the temperance
question in America TO prepare and
exhibit this material
As a part of the same general CAM
paign, the League has contracted for
four travelling exhibits also prepared
by the Scientific Temperance Fedora
ton, to remain from one to three
weeks in place, and which will be
made available to some 80 cities which
will vote next April under the new
Hill-Wheeler city local option law
In addition TO this, the League is
pushing the use OF scientific posters
in public places under the direction Of
churches and young peoples societies,
which maintain the bulletin boards
and change the posters, and also in
industrial plants as part of the well
fare work done by the management.
This work, designed 10 help in no.
license contests, docs not take the
place of, but is in addition TO the
regular legislative activity OF the
League in behalf of the submission of
Prohibition amendment to the state
constitution and the passage OF the
optional Prohibition remonstrance bill
which will be pushed i'll the next ses-
sion.
The Anti-Saloon League is also or
ganizing a speakers bureau for the
assistance of local committees in the
town wet-and-dry fights under the
Raines law this fall, and under the
city local option law next spring, and
is also arranging TO supply literature
for such campaigns.

Booze Comes From Saloons

1t is claimed that saloonkeepers arc
directly to blame, for illegal selling
to soldiers and sailors, in only a few
cases. They realize the great danger
involved in violations OF the federal
law. 1t cannot be denied, however,
that the saloons are directly to blame
for intoxicants getting into the pos
session of soldiers and sailors. So
long as saloons are permitted to exist
in towns near encampments, 1t will be
very difficult to protect the country's
military forces against drink Ma
tional Prohibition as a war measure Is
necessary.

Many Drunken Sailors

Soldiers from the Lake Bluff Train
ing Station arc able to procure liq-
uor in Chicago. Drunken sailors are
not infrequently seen on the streets
and a number OF arrests have been
made. In one case liquor was sup
piled regularly at a downtown barber
shop until the authorities discovered
the place and arrested the BARRIERS.
A report from New York City tells
of a plan used by soldiers and sailors
to obtain ntoXicants. At various
places soldiers and sailors exchange
their uniforms for civilian clothes,
then purchase liquor and change back
into their uniforms after paying a
50 rental fee. Many New York sa-
loonkeepers have been arrested re-
Gently for selling to men IN uniform.

Soldiers and Sailors
Are Getting Booze
From Wet Towns
Violations of Federal Law Reported
From Many Places

The law against selling 10 soldiers
and sailors in uniform docs not en-
tirely prevent them from getting in
toxieants from nearby wet towns.
The five mile dry zone is not large
enough. Because of liquor from Be-
lott and GAINESVILLE saloons being sup
piled to the soldiers at Rockford,
there is some talk OF putting 40-mile
dry zone about this camp. Beloit po-
lice recently arrested two bootleggers
who they say have been guilty OF vio-
lating the federal law.
At Quincy several indictments have
been returned against civilians who
had given or sold Intoxicating liquor
to soldiers. They are not liquor deal
ers and are not charged with selling
liquor. The charge against them is
that they procured the liquor for SOL
der friends and took it TO them from
a saloon.
\ Quincy saloonkeeper is also un-
der indictment, the charge being that
liquor was sold TO soldiers at his
place.
