wife who is out on bonds of 81, 500
for alleged serious crime, and whose
case is scheduled for next Monday

t.<-ns greatly upset her, the plaintiff

The large and cleverly arranged

SOLDIERS TO have
Liquor IN HOMES
May Also Be Served When Bona
Eide Guests

New York. Feb. 20.-Soldiers and
| Sailors when visiting families of
| which they are members or bona fide
guests may now partakc of intoxi-
eating liquors, according to a modifi-
| cation of the "bone day. regulations
made public yesterday at the Federal
! building. Assistant United States At
torney James S. Johnson, in charge
, of the enforcement of the law, re-
ceived copy of the new rule from
Attorney-General Gregory, after the
latter had been informed OF the
changes by Major-General John Bid
die, acting chief of staff, who sub
njtted the rulings on behalf Of the
war department.
The new regulations read:
'Alcoholic liquor, including
beer, ale and wine. either alone
or with any other article, shall
not directly or indirectly be sold,
bartered, given, served or know
ingly delivered to any officer or
member Of the military forces,
except when administered for
medical purposes by, or under,
the direction of a regularly Ii
censed physician or army sur
geon; provided that this regula-
boh small not apply TO the giving
or serving of such liquor in a
private home to members of the
family or bona fide guests
The last clause replaces the for
mer ruling that soldiers and sailors
should not be given or sold liquors
under any circumstances. In addi-
ton. the bone dry zones extending
five miles around each military camp
have been changed in such a way
that civilians who are members of q
family or guests may imbibe liquid
refreshment in q private home
In the opinion of Assistant United
States Attorney Johnson the term
bona fide" guests is to be strictly
interpreted. The amendment is not
to be construed to mean that persons
can solicit strange soldiers, take them
to their homes and there provide
them with intoXicants A years i'm
prisonment and $1,000 fine is the pen
atty for infractions of the law.
BY act of congress the president
has the power to make such regula-
tons as he may deem necessary pro-
hibiting the selling of liquor to mem
berS of the military forces, and he
also has the right to amend these
regulations at will. It was not neces-
sary, therefore, for congress to pass
upon these notifications.
