Germany in making call for men up
to forty-seven years Of age has taken
advantage of two more years above the
maximum of forty-five. Most
individuals when they approach tho
f1ftieth year have about concluded theik
fighting days through inability to keep
down their girth measure. But certain
conditions in Germany, over which that
country has had little control. have
served. no doubt. to keep the humaf
form within military bounds. Americana
who go to France, therefore, are likely
to have to fight babes in arms and old
gentlemen IL the age limits are stretch
ed further under Prussian regulations
Perhaps, after all, this conscripting Of
men above forty-ive will produce some
effect in the ranks that may be usefin
toward letting light into dark placess

soldiers really believe that London IL Id

BACcHUS SPECIALS
Officials of Prince Georges
County May Make Balti-
more Trips Dangerous.

Patrons of so-called booze specials,
running between Baltimore and this
city, and members of automobile Joy
riding parties who bring red" liquor
from Baltimore may be treated to a
genuine surprise in the near future.
Under the provisions of section $40 OF
the penal code, which deals with liquor
transported in interstate commerce.
Washingtonians have been arrested for
bringing liquor from Baltimore without
being tagged with the owners name
and that of the consignor. but those
who comply with the tagging provi-
sion of the law are not being molested
1t develops the authorities of Prince
Georges county, Maryland, are contem-
plating a raid upon persons who enter
that one-Quart-a-month county with
more than such an amount of liquor IN
their possession and call them before
the bar Of justice of the county. The
legality of passing through the county
with supply of more than quart of
whisky IN possession, 1t is stated. Is
being inquired into and soon will be
decided.
sheriff Bell and Deputy Sheriff Gar
rison have consulted States Attorney
g. Marvin Peach and are awaiting his
decision. Both the sheriff and his dep
uty feel it is violation of the county
prohibition law for an individual
whether a resident or otherwise, to be
found in the county with more than
one quart of liquor in his possession,
and surprise may be in store for some
Westinghouse who indulge in the
practice.
:. Should it develop that the law pro-
hibits such shipments through the
county, it is stated, Washingtonians
who go to Baltimore will have to re-
turn home without going through any
portion of Prince Georges. which may
be done by going by way of Frederick
adding many more miles to such trips
and making 1t more difficult to get home
with supplies. The question of the
legality of passing through other dry
counties, 1t is stated, will be consider
ed II 1t develops that Prince Georges
law will reach the carriers of liquor.

which. 1t is said. accounts for the ar
rests of SO many persons for drunken
ness and selling liquor in violation of
the Sheppard prohibition law. 1t is
reported that very little attention has
been paid to liquor-iaden passengers
on steam railroad trains. and that pas
sengers on smoking cars between the
two cities indulge in drinking while
en- route home. such drinking being
clearly in violation Of law. Drinking
also has been INDUCED in on the cleo
trio cars. it is stated.
Attention has been called to such vio-
lations and, it is said, officers of the
counties through which the trains pass
soon will display an activity that wifi
create as much of a surprise as did

nearby counties a few years ago, when

SWEDISH MINISTER TO BACK
LEAGUE IN DRY FIGHT
Minnesota Anti-Saloon League En-
dorses and Ministers Pledge Sup
port in Fight to Make State Dry

The Twin City Swedish Methodist
Ministerial Association last week
published a resolution recommending
the Anti-Saloon League as the proper
agency to lead the dry forces of the
state in the coming campaign. Be-
sides the Swedish Methodist ministers
of the Twin Cities, those OF Saltwater
Red Wing and Lindstrom make up
the association.
The association is asking the Swed-
ish ministers all over the state to give
the League their support in every pos
sblc way, for the reason that the
"Anti-Saloon League is by far the
most suited organization to assume
leadership of this campaign, as it is
through the work of the League that
this campaign has been made posi-
Bile, because of its experience in suc-
cessful temperance work, and its high
standing in the state among clean vot
ers."
