When Congress reassembles the pro
hibitionists will insist on the considera
ton of the food bill, carving with it the
prohibition of the sale of liquor for tbs
duration of the war. 1t is possible this
may be sidetracked to consider the new
draft bill, the passage of which the ad
ministration is urging, but whether pro-
hbition is made mandatory or not, there
is little doubt of it c@ming to pass, it the
revenue bill, as proposed, is enacted into
law.

the doubling of the tax on beer would

We are now situated in a small town,

When does the next bunch leave for

district?
Perhaps you will be surprised when
tell you that Ray Wedde and Earl Black
are in the same town with me. Have
travelled practically all the time since |
left the States and am now some dis
tance from home. In the early morning
when there is no noise, by listening very
closely you can hear some of the big guns
booming, but we are some distance from
them.
One easily loses track of the days in
this country, and if did not have the
calendar, would not know it was Sunday,
as we go to work at 9 O'Clock today-the
first work we have done since July End.
