‘PAGE 8 ROTTERDAM CAMP MARVEL 10 THE DUTCH Finest Quarters Built for Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces Overseas By Corporal David Ramseur, U. Ss. Army, Rotterdam. Rotterdam, Holland, July The American soldiers stationed in Rotterdam are housed as are no oth- er memers of the A. E. F. There is a bed for every man, The beds are of the iron variety and they have springs, real springs, the kind one dreamed about but never hoped to enjoy until he returned to America. Not only that, but on those springs are placed mattresses, big, thick. soft ones, and at the head of every mattress there is a pillow, the sort of a pillow in which one can bury his head and drift off to slumberland. All of the barracks arg floored, a Iw “Fighting Editor of Denmark” Sees Militarism and Booze Both Relics of Barbarism. BY A. E. GELDHOF Washington, D. C., July 7.—On the success of prohibition in the United States depends the wetness or dryness of the rest of the world, according to Lars Larsen-Ledet, “the Fighting Edi-! tor of Denmark.” | Mr. Larsen-Ledet, who is not a pro- fessional prohibitionist but the editor of the Afholdsdagbladet, of Aarhus, one of the largest and most influential | daily newspapers in Denmark, came to Washington from Denmark to at- tend the big Anti-Saloon league con- vention. “Militarism and drink are both rel- ics of barbarism,” says Larsen-Ledet. “America has helped Europe to crush the first of them, and social and moral reformers in Europe are now grateful because you will help to crush the second, “What we want you to do first is! ENFORCE THE PROHIBITION big thing for us who have been used to the dirt-floored billets of France. | And there are enough barracks to! give each man plenty of room for his} various belongings. Besides all those | things we have one of the finest doth- houses and wash rooms in Europe. The bathhouse is fitted up with 2) showers of the American type and there is plenty of hot water. The mess hall is as comfortable as one} could wish for. There is also a club-| room with a piano in it. Every building is lighted with elec- tric lights. ROTTERDAM REPORTER VISITS U. S. CAMP, A very dignified representative of the Rotterdam Uieuwsblad has writ- ten his impressions of the camp as follows: “If you wish to visit the American village on the left side of the Maas-| haven, which is surrounded by a big wire fence, it is hard to find the com- manding offices, “Nobody bothers himself about any- thing but his own duty, is very busy and has no tim go pay much atten- tion to visitors. To tell it in plain Dutch we had a hard time to find the command officer of the bararcks and walked all over the place v.nd build- ings, addressing several officers. Fin- ally we found an officer who whote the name of Captain Billings on a card telling us he was the officer who haod charge of the barracks and would be good enough to show us around. We took the ferry “heen and weer” together with some Sammie, big, good-looking fellows, who did not care what was going on azd who looked at Rotterdam as a father looks at his child—with a ‘kind, pro- tecting air. They feel proud and happy and pity us poor Rotterdamers because we were not born by God’s grace in God’s country where the Sta- tue of Liberty speaks for itself for liberty and democracy. “We had a hard time to keep pace with them as they walked to camp, and I, the poor reporter, had to trot. We had better look out for our pave- ments for the Sammies sure damage them. “We saw five sleeping buildings with nice, clean rooms. Iron beds, with mattresses and pillows and fine woolen blankets showed American prosperity, like the khaki uniforms work by the soldiers which look as if they were made to wear a lifetime. “In the mess hall four big Ameri- can stoves were seen by us and three cooks were preparing dinner. Noth- ing was lacking, we saw them pre- pare meat, potatoes, which were cut to be fried, plenty of fine white bread and no lack of food. We saw butter on the table and everything looked clean. These American soldiers are treated like gentlemen and they can really look forward with pleasure to their dinner time. “The washrooms were fine—cold and warm water, showers, and all the conveniences a person could desire after a day’s work, The infirmary was visited next. A medical officer with well-trained personnel is taking care of the sick. But we did not find any sick boys in the Sammies camp, maybe one or two may be sick from over-eating. “The Y. M. C, A. was the last build- ing completed. You will also find a big garage for the motor cars and trucks with a repair shop and person- Chevrolet, Hupmobile LAW; if is is not enforced here, we will never get prohibition in Europe.” “Do the working people of Denmark approve of prohibition?” I asked this stalwart Norseman. “Outside of Copenhagen they do,” he replied. “In Copenhagen 70 per cent are opposed to prohibition, but in the rest of the country only 30 per cent are opposed. “The prohibition movement has the support of the government and of the majority of the people, but the liquor traffic has more money—and spends it. “In Denmark we have a form of local option, and during the war the manufacture of distilled drinks and the use of corn in making liquor was prohibited, All the war laws are to nel whose sole duty it is to keep the cars in order “This whole camp has been erected in no time, can be used for years or abandoned in a day, real American style.

Demand for his WORLD PROHIBITION HINGES ON ENFORCEMENT IN U. §., SAYS DANE be repealed soon, but 723,000 men and have signed a petition asking for the maintenance of wartime prohibition, and for a plebiscite on complete and permanent prohibition. “King Frederick of Denmark was the first ruler to sign a prohibition law—that of Iceland in 1909. Iceland’s law went into effect in 1915, and the Iceland prime minister told a corres- pondent of my paper recently that the results were good, and that the ma- jority of the people approved of it. Greenland, too, has had prohibition for several years.” I asked him about the situation in the other Scandinavian countries. “Sweden has different restrictions,” he said. “The chief one is that each drinker is rationed. During the war the manufacture of distilled liquors Ree ae eseeersersereeeeeeeererrm* body wants to ask for him. It will probably go by default.” In European circles the answer is always the same. It’s the last thing anybody wants to talk about. “Every- body’s to busy on vital important matters to think about it,” the for- eign offices say. In England the newspapers hardly ever mention it nowadays—not even the Northcliffe press which through- out the war was the most insistent in demanding that the war criminals be tried and punished. ee The French press contains an in- frequent reference — generally a sarcastic jab aimed at the improba- bility of the trial. Some of the papers point out that the treaty contains the following ar- raignment which would probably have ‘been omitted if the conference had really anticipated a frial: “The allied and associated powers publicly arraign William I of Hohen- trial in Europe is falling off, and no- Get a Full Set women—60 per cent of the electors— sure it will soon be renewed. zollern, formerly German emperor, for this 50-cent aluminum mold packages — the end labels mold, and Hudson Motor Cars Smith Form-a-Trucks and Tractors Kelly-Springfield and Pennsylvania Tires Prest-o-Lite Batteries and Parts ACCESSORIES NOTICE———.

There will be a referendum in Sweden soon, and I am confident that prohibition will be carried. “Norway is two-thirds dry through local option laws. The whole country was dry during the war.

There was a strong movement for complete prohibition in Germany before the war, and I feel “In England half the people are in favor of prohibition and the other half favor a state monopoly and a ration- ing system similar to that which was in effect during the war. Scotland has local option, and a vote will be taken in every parish next year. Amer- ican speakers, American literature and American money are helping the fight in Scotland. “The Latin countries—France, Italy, Spain* and “Portugal—can be carrie for prohibition, but it will take sev- eral years’ hard work, as there is little or no sentiment for prohibition in them. A big step was taken in France during the war by the prohibition of absinthe, however, and it was so suc- cessful that it is to be extended for peace.” a supreme offense against Interna- tional morality and the sanctity.” It is pointed out that a public ar- rangnment was urged by America, who opposed a. trial. Events seem to sho wthat the Euro- pean governments. insisted on ma- chinery for the trial so they douldn’t be lambasted for omitting it. But they are quite content to “let it slide,” at least until there is a far greater préssure of public opinion than there is in Europe now.
