Sacramental Purposes Restricted


A provision IS also made permitting
the purchase Of liquor for sacramento
and other necessary non-beverage pur-
poses under the strictest regulations
and supervision.
IN statement made after introduce
ing the bill. Senator Walters said:
"Ihe purpose of this bill is to provide
Tor an honest, effective and strict en-
torcemcnt of the provisions of the
Federal prohibition amendment recent
ly adopted. An attempt has been made
TO throw such safeguards around the
manufacture and sale of intoxicatinp
liquors as will prohibit their use for
beverage purposes. If it fails in any
particular to do this it should and
will be amended TO accomplish that
purpose. 1t is the judgment of the
lntroduccr that no enforcement lcris-
laton can be effective that does not
define Intoxicating liquor. If it is not
defined in the bin it becomes a oucs-
ton of fact for the jury IN the case
Of each individual violation.
"Therc has been great demand for
definition which would permit the
sale of light wines. Light wines con
tam from to 10 per cent Of alcohol.
and definition providing that such a
liquor is not Intoxicating might be
held unreasonable by the courts. The
limit placed in this bill is three pcr
cent, because that is believed to be
reasonable"
Senator Walters said he expected
the support of Democrats and most
Republicans in both houses.

BURIAL PLANS ARE
STILL INCOMPLETE

Parents and relatives are assured
that bodies of soldiers buried in
France may be brought to this coun-
try for burial after the period of ma
tional emergency is over
As yet, however, no definite plans
have been formulated, and until they
are, offers to pay all expenses cannot
avail to hasten the return of Ameri-
cas- dead.
With the rehabilitation of the
troops, when the lists of the dead
have been verified and the graves
identified, arrangements will be com
pleted.
Bodies of men buried in Germany
cannot be brought over any sooner
than those in France. Bodies trans
ferred to this country will either be
given to the soldiers families for
private burial, or inferred in a nation
al cemetery. All others will be plac-
ed together in an American National
Cemetery, in France.
