Tomorrow Is meatless day. Pork, beef and mutton must be dispensed with. Baconless breakfasts are fast becoming popular in many homes and while it is not a government order to be observed by restaurants, bacon can be conserved by refraining from ordering it for breakfasts in hotels, lunch rooms and restaurants. Porkless Satur days are also "in vogue." Conservation days are becoming quite popular and the housewife must keep alert and watching lest she be "out of fashion" in regard to these day.

Gen. Pershing Takes First Step to Check Soldiers9 Booze Supply

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Friday Dec. 28. (By The Associated Press.) General Pershing in an interview with correspondents today, said the question of prohibiting the sale of all intoxicating liquors to American troops, which he favors, Is being discussed with the French government. He explained his recent order prohibiting the sale of all intoxicants except light wine and beer and the conditions prevailing in France, which caused it to be drawn as it was. "The question of prohibiting the

sale of all intoxicants to American

at all, which practicall Is what the French would have to do. Local sentiment will play a large part in the determination of the question. "The same order which forbade soldiers taking strong drink contained the most rigid regulations to prevent the spread of the social evil. The questions are connected closely. Thus far the record of the army in both respects has been most excellent. It is highly gratifying to me and is a testimonial to the high character of the American soldier. Everything possible is being done to protect his morals

Pershing, "but, of course, there are difficulties here in France that do not exist in the United States. The general order issued Dec. 18 wa3 a long step toward the prevention of drinking among our men. "It was not by any means intended to convey an injunction to the American troops to drink light wine and beer, but quite the reverse. It was drawn to conform to French regulations on the subject. Prohibits Gifts.'' "It stated only that light wine and beer only would be permitted and prohibited the purchase of and acceptance of gifts of whiskey, brandy, champagne or similar beverages. It ordered that all drinking places, where

such articles are sold, be forbidden American soldiers. It is same regulation made in France by the British army and by the French. "Although I am heartily in favor of prohibition for the American expeditionary force, the situation in France and the United States is not the same. Comparatively few French people drink water as we do; they drink wine instead. This is partly because the French water supply is not as pure as ours. French wine is light and much less intoxicating than Is generally supposed. An intoxicated Frenchman is a rare sight indeed. French beer also is by no means strong. The French government issues to its soldiers a regular wine ration. Obviously there are obstacles to forbidding wine shops in the zone of the army to do business
