ANOTHER BLOW TO LIQUOR
SALES.

Los Angeles seems 10 be going in
for novel liquor regulations. A recent
news item reports that the police com.
mission, under leadership of the may.
or. has put into effect a rule provid-
ing that hereafter no civilian can be
served with Intoxicating drinks in any
liquor establishments, including the
wholesale liquor houses, cafes. clubs
saloons or other places where liquors
are dispensed if there is an American
soldier, sailor or marine present in
uniform.
This ruling was found necessary be
cause civilians were buying drinks
and passing them on to uniformed
men. thus technically cvading the pro-
hiibtion against selling ntoxicants to
soldiers or sailors
IL Is further explained that any act
that may be construed as subter.
fuge to violate this resolution will be
cause for the revocation Of license.
1t is safe to prophesy that a uniform
darkening the entrance to any place
where liquor is ordinarily sold will be
welcomed with tempered joy by all
but "bone-dry" enthusiasts 1t might
be good prohibition move to station
a soldier or sailor in every liquor.dis.
pensing place and thus effectively
stop all liquor sales. Or will the uni
formed men take pity on Los Angeles
civilians and keep to the soda iOlm.
tains and other arid spots?

British Still Winning
Meanwhile the British forces in Bel.

Ipres having captured in one of their
intrepid dashes, after a rain of shells
OF all calibers, the town of Passchen-
daele, about five miles west of Roul-
ers for which much bitter fighting has
taken place recently The new ad-
vance of the British throws the apex
Of their salient in dangerous prox-
unity to Roulers, the fall of which
would cut Germany's communication

thus far to hand are that the Canadi-
aus who bore the brunt of the opera
tion extended their line 80 yards be-

recOnciled to this, for soldering is
ever risky business. Above all they
will find in the thought that they are

Mr.. Wilson, valuable service, inasmuch

tain reliable information concerning
conditions and sentiments in belliger-
ent countries.

merely represent courtesies for larger
numbers to follow. We are sure the

possess the biggest and most colossal
everything, but such establishments
as we have here, they have not seen.

firm of Hindenburg and company with
which you want to compete. Look at
it's accomplishments and consider if it
would not be better to haul down your
sign and engage in some other line.
Perhaps your boss. Wilson, will recon
slider his newest line of business be-
fore we grab off more of his young
people" -
