LIQUOR ON TROOP TRAINS

LAW TO BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. Numerous complaints are being received regarding intoxicating liquor on troop trains, especially with regard to returning troops. Consequently the Defence Department has specially directed the attention of its officers to the War Regulations, under which it was made an offence to bring intoxicating liquor on to n troop train, and to impress upon them tho necessity for the enforcement of these regulations. Chuiso 14 of the War Regulations of November 15, 1915, not only mate it. an offence to have intoxicating liquor on a troop train, but also to supply liquor to any person being carried on a troop train. Tho Crown Law Office advises that tho expression "being carried on a troop train" must read as applicable not only to those men, who fori the time being are actually on board the train, but also to men who, during the' course of their journey, may bo at any time, temporarily off the train. The term "troop train" defined in. ■■the regulations includes not only a train wholly reserved for purposes of the Defence Forces, but also a carriage on an ordinary train wholly <* chiefly used- by those forces. The greatest efforts are to be made to Becure convictions against civilians who supply liquor to troops on troop trains.
