er forbidding the use of all alcoholic

has brought him much gratifying and
favorable comment from American

The determination Of the American
commander to secure rigid enforce

anti-immoraIity regulation was indi-
Gated in a letter written by General
Pershing appointing representatives
to British American conference on
the subject, in which he said:
The gravest responsibility rests on

battle and we fail if we neglect any
effort to safeguard them in every way.
We have the common ground Of HUI

that, in this war of nations in arms
