AWFUL DRY" IN GERMANY
Uncle Sans Soldiers Given Stop" Orders on German Beer and Booze in
 Germany.

Ncil' IelSnlilS OOeSnC [ allow the American soldier boys to enjoy themselves" by drinking booze and beer while they are on the German soil as will be seen from the following taken from one of the metropolitan paper correspondents.
 It will be noted that Uncle Sam's soldiers are referred to in the article as John Soldiers and the German garden girl as Carla.
 With the American Army of Occupation, Dec. 8, (By Courier to Nancy, France.) When John Soldier repaired to his favorite "gasthaus," or cafe, in Trier, at 9 o'clock last night he beckoned to Garla the beau tiful waitress and ordered up "ein, swei' or 'drei" beer, as the case might be.
 She began talking like one of the signs so familiar thro' out Germany. The gist of her conversation was "Verboten. !" Naturally John fretfully queried Why" Carla spread her hands wide and repeated her song with the refrain ''Verboten." John could have a lemonade, but not "ein," :" "swei' or "drei'' beers it was verboten.
 While John debated the matter with many gestures and and numerous "VoS-iSS-lOSSeS" (Was ist los, meaning Whats the matter?") 9 and 10 o'clock came along. The door opened and in popped a big military policeman, looking extra mili- tary polishish.
 A Lanconic "Raus"
 "Raus.." he said laconically. So there was nothing for John to do except ''raus" and away he went to his quarters to dream of that dear France and that dearer Luxemburg where "eins, swei or drei' beers, not to mention light wines, were most fluent.
 Thus a new order of things came to the army of occupation "Verboten" is a new idea when it comes to the matter of liquor and late hours for John. As Carla delivered herself of the dictum transferred to her by the military authorities last night, former German soldiers sitting at other tables with theil "frauleins" and their "eins- swei-drei" beers listened with some amaZement.
 They could not quite grasI the situation at first. When il dawned upon them that Johr cannot have his beer they emitt ed loud Teutonic snorts.
 Complications Avoided
 Some French Colonials, wht are uniformed similar to the Americans, had a narrow escape last night. Carla couldn't dis, tinguish them from the Ameri cans at first, so she "verboten ed' them also. Cries of grea distress rose from the French men, but Carla was obdurate Then the American officers went around and eXplaine' Frenchmen are not American! and Americans are not French men. Carla gave the French men their beer, and so inter national complications wa avoided
 It seems the new dry ordei didn't apply to the American officers. They were pushing over tall ones with white colar on them as John went ava, from there. It is understood however, the enlisted men O the expedition have gone ol prohibition for the rest of thei
