RULES GOVERNING ,wIiIsKEY
ofhcers and Enlisted Men May Bc
served in Private Homes of Guests.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Revison OF
the rules prohibiting the sale or serv-
ing OF intoxicating liquors to officers
and enlisted men of the army, an
hounced yesterday, is designed, Chair
man Fosdick of the commission ON
training camps activities, explained
today, to stamp out "bootleggng" out
side of the dry zones" around mill
tary camps. Not only is the old ruling
not relaxed, he said, but the revised
regulation is much more stringent.
Under the original ORDER" Mr..
Fosdick said, 'only the sale of liquor
to officers and enlisted men i'm uni
form was prohibited outside of the
dry zones. and bootleggers and un-
scrupulous liquor dealers were en-
abled TO evade the law without vio-
lating 1t technically"
As revised the regulations prohibit
the serving, giving or delivering OF
intoxicants to an officer or soldier out
side the zone except that in private
homes liquors may be served TO Of
icers or soldiers who are members Of
the family or bona fde guests. Per-
sons convicted OF violating the new
regulations would be liable to q fine
OF $1,000 or IL months imprisonment
or both.
The definition of the term military
camp" has been enlarged in the re-
vised order to- embrace training
camps or the ordnance and quarter
masters departments and medical of.
ficers throughout the United States,
Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
In making public the new order
Chairman Fosdick asked the cooper.
alton Of liquor dealers and cafe pro-
prietors in preventing all sales of Ii
quor to be consumed off the prem
ises.

The Other Side of War.

You wouldn't think that men would
go to war to learn how to be kind, but
they do. There's no kinder creature
IN the whole wide world than the av-
erage Tommy. He makes a friend OF
any stray animal he can find. He
shares his last franc with chap who
isn't his pal. He risks his life quite
lnconseQuently to rescue anyone
who's wounded. When he's gone
over the top with bomb and bayonet
ior the express purpose of doing in"
the Hun, he makes q comrade of the
fritzie he captures. You'll see him
coming down the battered trenches
with some scared lad of q German al
his side. He's Cabling away making
throat-noises and signs, smiling and
doing his inarticulate best to be in
telligible. He pats the Hun on the
back, hands him chocolate and cigar
attes exchanges souvenirs and shares
with him his last luxury. If anyone
nterferes with his Fritzie he's willing
to fight. When they come to the
cage where the prisoner has to be
handed over, the farewells of these
companions whose acquaintance has
been made at the bayonet-point are
often as absurd as they are affecting.
| suppose one only learns the value ot
<indness when he feels the need of it
himself. The men out there have
said "Goodby" to everything they
loved, but they've got to love some
one-so they give their affections to
captured Fritzies. stray dogs, fellows
who've collected a piece of q shell

The agreement provides that the

COlOrcd Fair Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Color
ed State Fair Association, was held
in Sumter, February Goth, at Shiloh
Baptist church, on account of recent
quarantine order in the city of Co
iumbia. The gross account of the as
ISOLATION was read to the stockholders.

The following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved. that the State Colored

of the four members, VINO have in
volved the association in Il law suit

looked back to him, a proud little
smile playing around her face, moIs-
tened by the tears of love and fore
boding. When a bend in the road
blotted the camp out Of view she look
