HEAVY PENALTY IN LONDON. RUINING COLONIAL SOLDIERS. By Gable. — Press Association. — Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Gable Association. (Beceived July 20, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, July 19. A French woman, the keeper of a restaurant in London, has been sentenced to one month's imprisonment, and thereafter to deportation for the unlicensed sale of liquor. The prosecution alleged that the drunkenness of soldiers was largely due to so-called restaurants which have been the resort of overseas soldiers for months. The ProvostMarshal found a number of them helplessly drunk on the premises.
