Drinkers Must Go. OTTAWA, Jan 12. – Orders have gone out by direction of the Minister of Militia to all commanding officers in Canada to the effect that any recruit found under the influence of liquor shall be summarily dismissed form the service. The Minister has decided not to tolerate any marked inebriety in the ranks of the Canadian Force preparing for the front, and hereafter drunken soldiers should no longer be seen on the streets at the mobilization cities.
