The good name of the United States of America and the maintenance of cordial relations acquire the perfect deportment of each member of this command. "It is of the gravest importance that the soldiers of the American army shall at all times treat the French people, and especially the women, with the greatest courtesy and consideration. "The valiant deeds of the French armies and the allies by which they together have successfully maintained the common cause for three years, and the sacrifices of the civil population of France in support of their armies, command our profound re spect. mis can Dest oe exniDitea on the part of our forces by uniform courtesy to all the French people and by the faithful observance of their laws and customs. "The intensive cultivation of the soil in France under conditions caused by the war makes it necessary that extreme care be taken to do no damage to private property. The entire French manhood capable of bearing arms is in the field fighting the enemy. Honor them as those of our own country."

The Senate went on record Satur1 day in favor of "bone dry" national prohibition during the war, so far / as whiskey and other distilled beverages are concerned. Liquor legislation was written i?> to the food control bill in one of the Senate's bitterest contests, which would strike at consumption of distilled intoxicants by commandeering stocks in bond in addition to absolutely prohibiting their manufacture or importation. The beer and wine industries would De leic unaisiurcea. While the final prohibition legislation will be evolved in conference between the two houses, it is generally regarded as probable that the House will accept the Senate's change i v after a fight in behalf of its original section. The Senate pip vision would 'limit consumption to stock in retailers' hands or withdrawn before the law goes into effect. Stocks of distilled beverages in bond were estimated Saturday as between 200,000,000 and 300,000,000 gallons, and the annual normal consumption at 120,000,000 gallons. To purchase this enormous quantity of liquor, or ' ( what is left of it, after withdrawals in anticipation of the legislation, it is estimated the government would I ~ A ff O Art rtrtrt rtrtrt try nave tu opcuu nuiu ^uvu,vvv,vvv w $1,000,000,000. The probable loss in federal revenue is placed at from $200,000,000 to $400,000,000, al- 1 though this as well as the cost of purchase would depend entirely upon how much liquor was withdrawn taxpaid before the commandeering. The Senate's action promises in- definite delay in enacting the war , tax fc'll, further delay on the food control bill and indefinite postponement of adjournment of Congress. The revised $1,670,000,000 war tax bill was withdrawn immediately after the final vote upon the liquor question to seek new sources of revenue in case taxation on distilled liquors is eliminated. The Senate's vote to have the government buy, for industrial purposes and thus withdraw for consumption or revenue purposes, the great stocks of distilled liquors held in bond followed rejection of a pro- . : posal to deal with beers and wines, a proposal to authorize the President to suspend manufacture of the "licrht" intoxicants being defeated. efacements must be adjusted to | the satisfaction of the Librarian. | 11.
