facilities at its disposal with the avow-
ed intention of fighting to bitter fin

From an authoritative source it was
learned tonight that the government
intends to use its every resource even
the employment of armed forces if
necessary to combat what was charac-
terized as a "heinous offense" and a
"strike against the life of the com
munity."
Already preparations have been
made to continue the transport of
necessities by motor cars; the war Of
fee has suspended all leaves Of alb
sence and further rehabilitation of
the military forces.

ing of meals to public eating houses,
which will not be allowed to serve
