SOLDIERS AND LIQUOR.
AUSTRALIANS RESENT RESTRICTIONS. (By Cahlfl.—Pt«rs Association.—Copyright.) (Received July 23rd, 7.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, July 23. The prohibition movement is receiving a fillip from the returned soldiers, who greatly resent the compulsory wearing of blue armlets, which prevent thom being served with fiquor. Many returned men and a large section of the public regard tho armlets as an insult. A big meeting passed a resolution protesting that, instead of an armlet, there should be a padlock on the bar door, and demanding a Government elected on a win-the-war pledge, the meeting proclaiming prohibition as £t distinct contribution to winning the war. An overflow meeting, including many returned soldiers, demanded the removal of the armlets and open bars.
