10 CASES OF LIQUOR
PER OFFICER.

Quiet checkups are being
made on shipments of liquor to
officers meSses overseas. No
hard liquor may be served on
shipboard, and there are strict
regulations on the serving Of
alcoholic beverages in officers
clubs at both naval shore estab-
lishments and Army posts in
the United States. Overseas,
however, the situation is little
different. Since officers have to
pay for their own food, exeept
when on duty with troops in the
field, a group of officers may
form a cooperative mess and
practically write their own
rules No one begrudges a SOL
der or sailor overseas an oc-
casional drink when he feels he
needs it, which is frequently, or
when he wants it. What has irk-
ed some thirsty people at home
is the charge that orders have
been placed for liquor to be de-
livered overseas at the rate of
10 cases per officer-member of d
mess, and at wholesale, tax-free
prices running as low as $50 a
case. The more charitable view
of this report is that if the Of
ficers can get it at that price
