Plan for Dry France Causes Consternation in Liquor Trade
Paris reports a government move to prohibit consumption of alcoholic beverages for the rest of the war excluding wine and beer, prompting alarm among saloonkeepers and provision dealers who fear ruin for 280,000 mobilized saloonkeepers. Proponents cite health benefits and increasing need for alcohol in munition production, noting large wartime expenditures and arguing distillers would lose nothing as their output would be diverted.
