ROUGH SURVEY OF
AREA AFFECTED is
MADE ON CITY MAP

Here is the boundary of the area in
which the sale of liquor will be
stopped under the order Of the gov
eminent, according to rough draft
made upon an official map of the city
of Rock Island:
East Seventeenth street, south to
Fifth avenue, southeast to Ninth ave-
nue. to point about the intersection of
Twenty-third street, northeast to
Seventh avenue at point about be-
tween Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth
streets, and thence east on Seventh
avenue, gradually swerving south to a
point on FOrty-sixth street between
Seventh and Eighth avenues.
A number of people have asked why
the discrimination is shown between
saloons Of one part of the city and
another. The law answers the ques-
ton, stating that no liquor shall be
sold within a half mile of an army
camp or post.
The government has jurisdiction
over the viaduct, and Twenty-fourth
street and Third avenue is used as
the furthest point south and east from
which the boundary of the territory
will be measured.

Tells WHYoRDER
CLOSING SALOONS
HAS Been ISSUED
Department Of Justice Man Says Gov.
ernment's Prime Motive Is to
Make Soldiers Now.
DECLARES RULING Is GENERAL
States Rock Island Is Not Only City In
Which Similar Action VIII Be
Taken.

I Tho government has one object in
view-to mako soldiers to beat the
kaiser and 1t will do everything in its
power to accomplish this"
The foregoing statement was made
by a department Of justice agent in
Rock Island today when interviewed
concerning the cause of the action
taken in closing saloons within five
miles of the arsenal.
II have not been officially advised.
but I understand that Rock Island is
not being Disseminated against, but
the rule applies to all Cities" he con-
tinued. 1.-THE government in Wash
ington is in possession Of complete re-
ports on the situation in Rock Island.
I am saying nothing against the sa-
looms or wholesale liquor houses, but
know 1t to be a fact that advices have
gone to the government from time to
time from various sources.
Il do not know when the order will
come for me to close the saloons. I
would presume that as soon as the
government engineers complete the
blue prints showing the half-mile dis
trict in which bars must be closed,
and the flve-mile limit within which
the houses Of ill-repute must be
closed, I will be expected to notify the
owners to shut down.
There is fine Of s., 900 or one year
in prison or both as penalty for vio-
lation Of the order. It will be up to
