SOLDIERS AND LIQUOR.
» HOTELS TO REMAIN OPEN" WHEN TROOPSHIPS AIiRIVE. (FKESS ASSOCIATION TELEGBAII.) WELLINGTON, June 11. In reply to a question by a reporter to-day, the Minister of Defence said he had received a report upon the experiment made recently in allowing hotels to remain open when a troopship arrived. The report was not very definite; in some places the result was said to be good, in others bad. He had ! decided to leave things as they were for the presont. "One point which requires to he made clear," the Minister went on to say, "is with respect to the regulations forbidding the supply of liquor to soldiers travelling on troop trains. These regulations apply also to soldiers who alight from a troop train at a railway station. If they get off a train and go across to a hotel, they cannot be served with liquor, as they are still soldiers travelling on a troop train."
