Officials Unable to Stop Ille-
gal Sales to Soldiers and
Sailors
ARMY And NAVY men
TO CLEAN UP CITY
Liquor Dealers Meet to Plan reg
ulations'
PROHIBITION THE ONLY REMEDY

The Chicago liquor traffic has been
causing considerable trouble for the
government. Conditions have eontin-
Iued SO unsatisfactory that extraord-
nary measures arc being taken by tie
authorities. Local and state officials
having failed to secure the desired re-
suits, the navy and war departments
have sent men from Washington TO
stop the selling OF liquor to soldiers
and sailors.
The Secretary OF the Navy during
his recent visit 10 Chicago gave scri-
Gus consideration to the local situa-
ton.
Major O. B. Hatch OF the Marine
Corps has been sent by tic Secretary
OF the Navy to act against the liquor
and vice evils in Chicago.
Captain ". ~ Moffctt OF the Great
Lakes Training Station has appointed
a board OF inquiry to investigate liq-
uor and vice conditions in Chicago.
Captain George ]. Anderson OF the
war departments law enforcement de-
partment has been sent to Chicago to
help stop illegal selling of liquor to
soldiers
The Committee OF Fifteen, the Citi-
zens League and other organizations
have collected much evidence of anti
! liquor law violations.
At a meeting OF local, state and
government officials it was stated that
Captain. Anderson was sent 10 CHR
eago 10 find out why the law has not
been enforced.
Some of the charges OF violations
against saloons are: Selling drinks to
men in uniform; selling drinks to civ
lian members OF parties. which in
cluded men in Uniform; selling bottled
liquor to civilians who were not per-
sonally known to the sellers. Evil
dence against certain saloons has been
presented TO the proper officials with
the request by government represent
atives that their licenses be revoked.
Such action has not been taken. Some
OF the saloonkeepers against whom
charges OF violating federal laws have
been made, arc said to receive the pa
tronage of influential politicians and
prominent public officials.
In addition to the activities of the
army and navy, reform organizations
and local officials, the liquor dealers
themselves have held conferences to
consider the Chicago situation All
liquor interests involved have agreed
to do all they can TO keep liquor from
getting to soldiers They advocate
the revocation of licenses, the proven
ton of package liquor sales after 6
p M. and the cutting off of liquor sup
plies to blind pigs and disorderly flats
But in spite of efforts by the All
thorities, local, state and national, in
spite of the agreements" of the liquor
sellers, conditions are said to be far
from satisfactory.
What the outcome will be is not
now apparent. Having gone the limit
in trying to protect soldiers and sail
ors while the saloons remained open,
it seems that closing the saloons offers
the only hope of relief.

Moderate Drinking Propaganda
"Prohibition is seriously occupying
the minds of the brewers and distillers
OF this country. 1t is not question of
Temperance, which they advocate, but
OF the actual Prohibition by law of the
sale OF beers, wines and liquors. A
paper that would not be hostile to the
personal liberty of the citizen to drink
in moderation what he pleased could
count upon the powerful support of
the brewers and distillers, who COM
mand almost illimitable capital, and
what is more, means of giving the
paper in question circulation large
enough to attract advertisers. Add to
this discreet appeal to every Ger
man society in the country for support
by its members, and we could easily
count upon national daily circula-

PARIS, Get. i5.--A poison ship is the
strangest vessel that has come out OF
America to help beat the Hun. The
tale Of its voyage Of thrills has come
from an American naval base at a
French port.
Several thousand huge steel drums,
containing gallons OF the most deadly
poison gas ever made. were on board
The drums Of death held enough
poison gas TO kill the whole German
army.
What II a torpedo struck the ship
or a submarines shell ripped a hole in
on Of those drums7 The imagination
cracks under the strain.
So on board the poison ship there
was a gas mask drill daily. Thousands
Of miles from the trenches. in the midst
Of the ocean, there was the strange
sight Of a gas mask drill.
Every member Of the crew and every
ofilcer had been taught how to sling
the Nat bag over the shoulder; how TO
snatch il around and hook Il under the
chin at the first warning OF danger;
how TO snap the "clothespin" closing
both nosirils; how TO grip the mouth
piece between the teeth and how 10

Then Comes Danger.
They had drill like that three times
a day. And on the tenth day there was
engine trouble and the poison ship had
TO drop behind. Then. just at the end
of the evening gas mask drill, came a
submarine, 5000 yards asternl
The poison ship was limping alonS
at six or seven knots, and the U-boat
was coming to the surface and manning

TO tell the chief engineer the crippled
engines would have TO respond imme-
dately or the poison ship was done
for.
Shots fell astern. The submarine was
gaining. Shells came whining nearer.
And the shots from the defense guns
were falling short
Then came wireless word that a de-
stroyer, just over the horizon, was
speeding to the RESCUE. Every man on
the poison ship had his gas mask
hooked under his chin. in the alerte
position. And every OBJ was praying
that no German she'll w~~ld dent one

Engines Resume Duty.
Suddenly a miracle happened. The
starboard engines came to life The
poison shin shot ahead. For seven
knots she jumped to ten and to eleven
and 10 twelve.
It was Just in time. Shells from the
approaching submarine were falling
only 20 yards astern. In another five
minutes they would have been rafting
