NEW LIQUOR RULING FOR
 SOLDIERS IS EXPLAINED

WASHINGTON: Secretary Baker explained in a statement today that the newly amended regulations gov erning serving liquor to soldiers do not relax the governments hold of the situation, but on the contrary are intended to strengthen 1t, as they will facilitate detection and convic- tion of bootleggers.
 The exception which permits serv- ing liquors in private homes to bona fide guests, he declared, permits of no subterfuges and he gave warning that if the exception was abused he would deal with 1t promptly and vigorously.

"If the Germans here don't like American, let them go back to Ger many, where the poor people live like swine. It took me three years to save enough money to get to this country, and I had to borrow a little then to get a ticket for the trip. The people there wear wooden shoes, held on by a strap across the top, and I wore a pair when I came here; but I saved enough out of my first weeks wages to buy a pair of leather ones. That was more than I could save in a month in Germany. They live like hogs over there, whole families in two small rooms, where they dress and undress themselves before each other. It seemed like heaven when l got to America and had a room all to myself.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-I.eft quite en- tirely to its own devices, today's stock market settled down to the dull routine of the past fortnight, after a moderate ly active and strong opening in which shippingS were the main features at extreme advances of one to four points
 The strength of this particular group was directly traceable to reports from Washington indicating the early trans fer of the British tonnage of the Mer- cantile Marine company to the United States government, on a satisfactory financial basis.
 few other stocks derived some ben eft from the rise in shippings but this proved to be only temporary, the whole list falling back before midday.
 For the balance of the session the movement was one of idle drift, main ly downward, in which standard rails were relatively heavier than specula- tive issues.
 Other points of weakness embraced the coppers, secondary equipments, Studebaker and utilities
 United States Steel was less promi- nent than usual, but resisted pressure better than other issues of the same di- vision, at no time losing more than d fraction. Total sales amounted to 36O,- 900 shares
 Bonds were heavy as a result of the weakness shown by minor rails and utilities, in which losses ran from one to two percent. Marked improvement was evinced by the Liberty division, the 31a's advancing over one percent, and the fourth 4K's rallying substan- tially from last w/k's low quotations. Total sales, par value, were s14. .250, 900 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call
