Anti-Saloon Body Would
Keep Drinks From Troops

William H. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League.
yesterday sent to Secretary of Wa
Baker letter appealing either for Il
military order preventing discharged
army and navy men in uniform from
drinking intoxicants or for an emer-
eency prohibition act to accomplish the
result. Mr. Anderson says that the judge
advocate generals ruling that "ds-
charged men in uniform cannot be
court martialled Tor drinking too
freely" will be painful to a pubic with
cherished regard for the uniform OF
the governments military service as a
badge of sobriety.
"The government has protected the
health and morals of its enlisted men
in manner unknown in the worlds
history" says Dir. Anderson in his let
ter. Laws prohibiting the sale of in
toxicants to men in uniform and Gre
ating dry zones about oantonments
have helped TO earn for our fighting
men the worldwide reputation OF
clean-cut, aforementioned manhood.
Il respectfully suggest that at your
request Congress would surely enact q
piece of emergency legislation which
would provide that, although formally
discharged from military duty, men in
the military and naval service would
still be amenable to military regula-
tons with respect to intoxicants so
long as they wear their govern
ment uniforms. Meantime, Will you
not appeal to the people in general, and
especially those engaged in the traffic
Of intoxicating liquors, to give this pro-
lection to our boys ?"
