The view taken by the war office Is that officers and soldiers home on leave exhaust themselves by late hours and frivolity and that, mainly for this reason, public dsnces must not take place. Numerous letters have been sent to the papers upholding dancing on the ground that the soldiers deserve recreation recre-ation after a spell in the trenches. A number of publlo dance halls have been raided by the police and many arrests have been made. The crusade la still In full swing. |
