2,308 SaloonsClose Because!OfDryMenace!Owners Also Fear In¬creased War Taxes on

Beer and Liquor

Los» in RevenueMore Than Million

Total Licenses Issued in5 Boroughs 7,045, Against

9,353 Last Year

.tiity-three hundred and eightsaloons in greater New York went outof business last night, because theirowners believed that national prohibi¬tion is imminent and because of theincreased war taxes on beer and liquor.

State excise official?, who workeduntil midnight issuing: licenses for'1918-'19, estimated that one out ofevery lour saloons suspended. In Man-h attan alone there were 7G3 fewerlicenses issued than last year, while inBrooklyn ami The Bronx the decreasewas almost as great.John T. McNeill, Deputy Excise Com-¡

lissioner for Manhattan, estimated thatthe gross receipts for §1,500 saloon li-censes and $1.200 liquor store licenses'iliis year would be $5 061,000, as com-pared to $6,189,000 last year. The li¬censes issued for this year for Man¬hattan are 3,453, as compared to 4.216last year. Of the 76.1 saloon ownerswho failed to renew their licenses inthis borough 250, however, quit duringth< year.Saloon Business Drops 25 Per CentThe total licenses issued for the rive

boroughs this year is 7,045. as com¬pared to 9,363 last year. These fig¬ures may be changed by saloon owners,who may take out licenses later, but inthe opinion of excise officials the sa¬loon business dropped 25 per cent al¬most overnight. ¡

Policemen will visit many of thesaloons to-day and those v.-h ich do not¡¦.splay licenses or receipts for licenseswill be arrested for violation of theliquor tax act.There are 2,308 fewer saloons in the

'ive boroughs than existed last year,!but about 800 of tTiese surrenderedtheir licenses before yesterday, whichmarked the expiration of the oldlicenses.

Conditions in Brooklyn are peculiar.So much territory is embraced in war./ones there that thirty-seven saloonswere driven out of business during theyear from this cause alone. Tiie num¬ber of saloons that quit business dur¬ing the year from causes arising fromhigh rent and lack of help was 167."The fact that 419 Brooklyn saloons

did not ppp^ar for a renewal of theirlicenses does not necessarily mean thatthey are going out of business forgood." said Deputy D. II. Ralston. "Ofcourse, they will have to remain closeds>o long as "they have no licenses. Butthey have the privilege of applying fora license at any time, and if they oe-

cupy the same premises and do not!iave to get the neighborhood consentover agiin they can resume business atonce. The chances are, however, thatthere will be fewer and fewer saloons.\ saloon owner who has paid for a li¬cense may claim a rebate if he quitswithin six months, this rebate beingqua! to the amount he paid less protata the time that has elapsed and thecosts of issuing the license."

Bronx Has 100 Fewer SaloonsThe Bro»x will have to quench its

thirst with 400 fewer saloons thanformerly. Deputy William S. Germainsaid last night that about one out ofeverv four saloons would close. Therevenue from The Bronx saloons willbe about §700,000, as compared with$1,061 000 last year.A 40 per cent falling off in the num¬

ber of saloons in Queens was reportedby Deputy Theodore P. Wilsnack. Lackof bartenders, higher rents and thegrowing tendency toward prohibitionwere given as the reasons.

Protesting ChaplainsMay Be Reprimanded

Army Spiritual Advisers Object¬ing to Loss of Insignia Are

Under Investigation(Spécial Dispatch iv The Tribune)

WASHINGTON, Sept. P,0. The pro-test of clergymen now in training as

tinny chaplains nt Camp Sherman, Ohio,against the War l>i partment'a orderdepriving them of th< right to wear theinsignia of rank in addition to thebronze cross on the collar, is likely tobe answered by a severe reprimand tothe preacher-soldiers who initiated theprotect.The War Department has sent to the

chaplains' school at Camp Sherman anofficer of the inspector general's depart.-ment to investigate the protest, andthe commissions of a number of stu-dent chaplains have been held up pend-ing the report of the inspector.The general order eliminating rank

among chaplains was issued at the di¬rection of General Pcrshing, and is be-1lieved to have been based on a reeom-mendation made to him by the Boardof Chaplains in Chief in the overseasservice. Experience in the overseasforces has revealed that men in theranks have hesitated about availingthemselves of the solace of spiritualassistance because of chaplains beingsuperior in rank.-.-

In thesame engagement, under intense fire,he bound up the wounds of five pri¬vates in his company, before he washimself wounded.

Corporal Isaac Kotgard, another Co¬lumbia University student, was killedon the Marne front in hand-to-handlighting at night in a dense forest fromwhich American troops were trying todislodge the enemy. Details of hisdeath were contained in a letter sentby Sergeant William Benjamin, of 804East 169th Street who was himselfwounded in the same engagement.

"1 was told this by a surgeon whodressed a stomach wound for Rot card,"wrote «Sergeant Benjamin. "While hisfirst wound was being dressed he washit again and killed. Sergeant Begony,who was with him, said that Kotgarddied like a man. He was fightingbravely, and his pals were sorry to seehim go."

(/(i/ -Vic united Press)WITH THF, AMERICAN ARMY

NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Sept. 30.-(By The Associated Press) (10 p.m.).. In ridding the Argonne Forestof Germans the Americans have beencompelled to contend with hundredsof snipers, many of whom take pofli-tions in tree", endravoring to pick oft*the advancing soldiers. The Americansencountered snipers in such numbiTu

I in one part, of the forest that th« infantry called for artillery, whichquickly ou7,te<" the snipers by ;>. bar-rage.Two complete batteries started ac-

tion against the Germans to-day. Theguns and ammunition of these bat¬teries were captured from the retreat¬ing forces near Cierges. Included in

¡the captured equipment were six 150-[ millimetre guns and twenty-one piecesj of lighter artillery.

American artillery Tiad not come upwhen the capture was m>¦.'.. The offi¬cers took quick advantage of the situa-tion and turned these guns on the«'tiemy, using ammunition which theyfound in stacks near by.

Reports of the excellent aim of theFranco-American artillerists in theMeuse-Argonnc drive are coming in.Upon a hill used by the Germans asan observation post, which became atarget for the American gunners,American reconnoitering partiesfound two German officers dead in asitting position near peep holes in adug-out. Both had been killed by theconcussion of a shell which struckclose by. Their observation glasseswere not damaged. It was apparentthat the men had been killed instantly.In another instance the Franco-American gunners scored a hit betweentwo German 150-millimetre pieces.Both guns were put out of commissionand three of the gunners were killed.Near by a direct hit was scored on a.77 gun, of which virtually nothing wasleft but the barrel.Tie American infantrymen also

found three machine gun nests whereheavy projectiles struck, demolishingthe guns and killing five Germans.At various places in the vicinity of

German trenches Germans were foundwho had been killed while endeavoringto reach dugouts. Their comrades, whosueeeeded in reaching the dugouts, re¬mained there until the Americans cameup, and then surrendered.
