New Army Liquor Rule
Said to Be More Strin-
gent

Washington, Feb O.-Revision of the
rules prohibiting the sale or serving OF
intoXicants to officers and enlisted men
of the army. announced yesterday, is de-
signed, Chairman Fosdick of the commit
to stamp out bootlegging outside military
camps. Not only is the old ruling not re
laxed. he said, but the revised regulation
is much more stringent. Under the origl-
nal order said Mr.. Fosdick, only the sale
of liquor to officers and enlisted men in
uniform was prohibited outside the zone
and bootleggers and unscrupulous liquor
dealers were enabled to evade the Law
without violating it technically.
AS revised, the regulations prohibit the
serving giving or delivering of intoxl-
cants to an officer or soldier outside the
zone. except that in private homes IL
quors may be served to officers or sol.
diers who are members of the family or
honande guests. Persons convicted of
violating the new regulations would be
liable to fine of $1,000 or 70 months i'm
prisonment or both
Inc definition of the term military
camp has been enlarged in the revised
order to embrace training camps of the
ordnance and quartermaster' depart
ments and medical officers throughout
the United States. Hawaii and Porto Ric.
In making public the new order Chair
man Fosdick asked the cooperation of
liquor dealers and cafe proprietors in nra-
venting all sales Of liquor to be consunI-
eo OIL the premises. This plan he be-
heves would cut off the supply to boot
iegsers Many liquor dealers associa-
tlons and individual license holders al
ready have put such rule in effect and
Mr. Fosdick says the government may
make such action compulsory in certain
cties unless conditions in those places
materially improve

DIR. Won Seydler here quoted Presi-
dcnt Wilson'S phrase that peoples and
provinces must not be transferred from
one state of authority to another mere
~ rs pawns in game. and continued:
Had we acted as the gentlemen of
the Polish Club demanded we should
not only have failed to conclude peace
with Ukraine. but should have severed
the delicate threads which may perhaps
lead to a general peace. and the voices
raised in defense of such a policy

certain insinuations which have been
made concerning the relations between
Austria Hungary and Germany"
