Equally striking is the decrease
in German fighting strength which
became apparent as their morale
increased.
This decrease was based mainly
on losses of manpowe1 due to the

of 1913 and the inability of Ger

said Balm.
Balm stated that the organiza-

The retailers present Thursday
were reminded that no matter
what happens, no matter what law
is broken, it is always, blamed
on the sale of beer.
Wilmington retailers were told
that they were tighter on the SELL

thing else. They were warned of
the prostitutes operating openly
from what has been termed by
many as ''beer joints" Dealers
were asked to cooperate by re-
porting any who have been operat-

of the beer dealers in Wilmington

Galphin said that he may be
wrong in his Interpretation of the
ruling, however, as ne saw it the

He had been quoted previously
as having said, Farms have to

the order will mean the drafting

units required for deferment from

the eastern part of North Carolina,
