The central and northern states are
| being sent to the southern depart
ment for training to avoid the lncle-
ment weather of the north and to
serve at the same time as border
patrol to replace the regulars who
will go with Pershing's expedition.
! An effort was made by the war de-
partment to fix the training camps of
all the northern states as far to the
south as possible. Many of the
militia organizations in the west will
be able to train in their home states
as the department assigned the Nine
teenth and Twentieth divisions to the
western department. All the troops
from the states designated as one
| division will be trained together. By
this method the national guard or
| CARNATIONS of each state will pre-
serve their identity.
A plan is under consideration in
the war department to retain their
state designation when they are
merged with the national army.
Tobacco and Liquor.
| WASHINGTON, May 19-Amend
ments to the governm ent's great wal
tax bill prohibiting manufacture OF
distilled spirits and use of lands fol-
tobacco raising during the war are
under consideration by the senate fl.
nance committee, it developed today.
There Is a strong conviction mani
fest in the committee that both tobac
CO and booze are Injuries which may
we'll be disposed of in the interests OF
conservation during the struggle with
Germany.
Sentiment against the use of grair
in the manufacture of distilled spirits
has reached the point where passage
of some measure of that sort by this
congress appears inevitable.
Beers and wines will probably BIZ
allowed to continue with greatly in
creased tax on the production o.
both.
Forthcoming dry" efforts will b.
mapped out at a dinner to be giveE
tonight by the anti-liquor forces t
the members of congress.
