“SHOUTING” ABOLISHED.
London, Oct. n
The London “No Treating” law was endorsed on Monday in 7000 hotels and 3000 licensed off houses. There were innumerable ruses by the public to defeat the new order, but, being liable to a penalty ot or six months’ imprisonment, the hotelkeepers adhered to the strict reading of the regulations. Most people were disposed to treat the matter as a joke. Customers evaded the intention of the order by exchanging money on entering and leaving the bars. Treating is allowed with meals and there were hopeless disagreements at the lunch bars as to whether sandwiches or bread and cheese constituted a meal. It is believed that the regulation will be effective, inasmuch as it will minimise the treating of soldiers.
