COCKTAIL-LESS CABARETS
WINE-LESS WINEROOMS
AND BEER-LESS BARS

Detroit. Mich, June l0-Cocktail-
less cabarets. wineless winerooms,
and beer-less bars are making de-
termined play for existence IN dry
Michigan.
When the amendment to the state
constitution prohibiting the sale,
importation or possession OF wines,
beers or distilled liquors became et-
fective May |, it failed to close all
the saloons. In Detroit especially
the bars continue in business III
majority OF cases, the only change
being the substitution OF near
beers and the elimination OF drinks
prohibited by the amendment. SIM
liar conditions prevail in other CITIES
oil the state, in the copper coun-
try" on Lake Superior.
In some cases wineroom propri-
etors have taken advantage OF the
new regime TO bid for prosperity
along temperate lines. azz bands
have been retained-in some cases
have even been augmented. j ne
same tables-the SAME walters; the
same bars-the same bartenders;
everything is the same. apparently,
excepting the beverages.
Proprietors in most cases are op-
timistic concerning the future.
Many believe that with the clint
nation OF alcoholic drinks there will
pass a major percentage OF the draw
backs OF their business. These
changes. they hope, will not inter
fere to any appreciable degree with
their patronage.
Some cabaret owners hope to
profit by catering to a restaurant
trade-a more or less periunctory
adjunct to the cabaret OF pre-May
DAYS. BY giving additional atten-
tion to the cuisine they believe that
after all. the law that threatened 10
drive them from business may have
the more salutary effect OF putting
their places on a more stable basis.
Cabarets that before May ! were
classed as "undesirables' are also
taking a new interest in lie and are
resounding with jazz music for mu-
sic for dancing and giving restaur-
ant and soft drink services with the
danger OF official interference les

we were to go over the top and take

go out in front and cut lanes through
our barbed wire for the passage of
troops In the morning. At two o'clock
our artillery will open up with an in
tense bombardment, which will last I'm,
til four. Upon the lifting of the bar
rage the first of the three waves will
go over" Then he left. Some of the
Tommies, first getting permission from
the sergeant, went into the machine

If the letters reached their destination
1t would mean that the writer had been

killed. Some of the men made out
their wills in their pay books, under
the caption, "Will and Last Testa-
