LIQUOR IN GREAT BRITAIN. While prohibition is making remarkable headway in the United States, it Ugs in Great Britain. The prombe held out by liquor reform undertaken early in the war have, not been fulfilled. Th government ha made .some progress. It ha succeeded in rei-tricttnf? the conditions under which drink is old, in limiting the strength of beer, in curtailing the consumption of whUky by trebling the price, in itnpoelng heavy Jail bcntencea for drunkenness. Hut still there is an enormous amount of liquor told, an cnorraoUi quantity of foodstuffs turned into alcohol, and, the reformers .-ay, an enormous handicap on British efheiency and economy as a result. Why doesn't the povcrnment take more drasdic action? Hecause it can't. The British do not take kindly to prohibition. They are a drinking people, as tho Germans are. Perhaps the people might be handled; but the liquor Interests have the nation by the throat. Lloyd George is said to have admitted '.hut the liquor tralfic is stronger than the government. Jt is ably represented by tho brewers and distiller raided to the peerage. It controls legislation because, to what public support it musters, it adds tho support of the established church. That support lias been Kilned by lavish gifts of bells, organs and churches and other less estimable means. Thus the conservatives and the radicals unite when it comes to prohibition. ays an Ilnglish newspaper writer: "Great Britain will Ket prohibition, or local option, as the temperance, party now seeks.uhen women vote and Tommy conies back from the war. Tommy wilt be stronger than cither parliament" r booze in the days to com".' Which is another rtaon why t--obcr P.ritons pray for an early peace.
THAT "RUSSIAN" REVOLT. Most Americans have recognized that the counterrevolution in Kustia, which lately threatened Kerensky's rule, was of German inspiration. But few have had any adequate notion of how 'ik a part tlermany plajcd in it. Not only is Nikolai Lenine. the head o the movement, Known to have- been in the pay of the tJcrtnaii government, and bolstered by Herman agents. lut it now develops that he himself und nearly all his evolutionary . group arc really Germans. A Petrograd correspondent, looking into their records, has found that their Kiissian names an: mre aliases. The. real name of the man who aspirtd to be premier of Russia is not Lenine. but Zederblum. Trotzky, his absurd minister of foreign affairs, formerly a reporter of an obsc ire foreign newspaper of the New York fat side. brs a num no less Teutonic. Techernclf, funuer minister of agriculture, is properly called Kcldmann. Tbe notorious Parvus, who acted as intermediary between Lenine and the German government. Is a certain M' lfandt. An assoeiate of bis who calls himself GanetUi used to be called 1 'urstenburg. Various assistants of Lenine in his sp-cta-ular coup, representing thcms-elve. us Zinoview, Trocki, Kamenirtf, Gore ft". Mcckoftsky, MartotT. ukhanoft and Zauorsay. are respectively Apfelbaum. Bronstein, K senfeld, ttoldman, Goldberir, Zederl'auin, Hinmer and Krachmann. The mere repetition of these- names shows up the trick. What purported to be a eritable Russian movement for peact, srringing out of the heart of the great Slav nation, is seen to be Prus.-iun camouilage of a typical sort. It was merely one of th- kaiser's many attempts to win by lies and bribery vhat he could not win by hone.t tightinp. It was iuite in keeping with the trickery practiced simultaneously on tlie Italian front, by which the Italian troops on the sector where (lermanv meant to t-trikc were lured into fatal friendliness, by German tocialist decoys ami forged newspaper editions. Over and over .iCviin the bson is driven home-. Genna ny today is nlltng the world with treachery Hiid lies-. No'oody but a fool will put faith in anv thing emanating from Ibtiin until the brutal and perfidious rule of the HohT:zoiit rib is overthrown.
HOGS TO WIN THE WAR. Now, were to'd. it's hgs that are to win the war. Tho department of agriculture presents the matter about like this: To mike sure of xutorv, we must produce more food. Th most essential kind of food is tiHat. The moat important form of meat is pork. l.t-.auo "it Cin be transported more readily and economically to our troops in the field than can any other meat," and because "hos can b produced quicker than any other kind of live tto'-k." Thv department therefore strongly urges the necessity :i4 duty of starting at once to increase the hos supplj. The estiiuated nuin'r of hogs in this country is about L'-c-.M'OO less than it was a ye.tr ago. It
ought t

It's si-iipl a ;u-.-tiou of wludesjle breeding instead of w h .!. sä lo si;, uglit rir.g.

Ife is merely encouraged to t liter more zealously into an ttremejy protade industry. Thf pri e of pork late

ly has been more than twice its average price in the thre or four ears before the war. It isn't likely to go down much, if any. Th demand is &ure to continue &tron until home Urn after the end rf the war. Feed crops are plentiful now. Everything favors hop-raising. But the patriotic appeal should be .stronger than the lure of profits. liaising hogs has become as much a war duty as buying Liberty bond.. An average Increase of IT, percent for the entire country is recommended for the coming year. Some states are asked to produce more than that, and some less. Missouri's quota is a GO percent increa of her present porcine population. Five percent will suflice for Georgia and West Virginia, Alabama. Iowa. Kansas, Indiana. Illinois, Mississippi, Arkansas-. .outh Carolina. Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, North Carolina, Michigan and Nebraska, have all been derelict in varying degrees. The rt of the states have been doing their duty, and are expected to keep up the good work.
COAL AND THE KAISER. The government has gained another abl ally in the person of "Mother'' Jones, who has probably more influence with miner than any other American. "Mother" Jones, despite her record as an inveterate -nemy of everything tending to limit the absolute freedom of labor, agrees with Fuel Administrator Garfield's plan for the settlement of coal mine disputes, and ;s trying to line up "her boys" to increase the output. "It is our duty to stand by the president of the nation in this crisis," she says. "Help the government now to lick the kaiser, and then we'll lick hell out jt the operators." Bather forcible language, but very much to the point! The operators may deserve a licking, but they don't deserve it any more than the kaiser does. Their punishment 'can wait, if necessary. The kaiser's can't. And maybe if the miners jump in on the kaiser job, they'll tind. before they get very far. that they won't havo to bother about the operators. The government and the public can take care of them, if the miners do their part.
It develops now that the leaders of the Bolsheviki revolt in Bussia are not Russians at all but German spies operating under itussian sobriquets appearing on the scene just in time, as they have made the workmen and sailors believe, to save them from themselves. Maybe it should stand our courts well in hand not to take all these applications for change of German names to others more Americanesque, to pesky seriously aft?.' all.
From la?t accounts, it looks as though Gilbert I'lliott might be left in the soup again; this time on that city attorneyship. Tom Sli' k, 'tis said, has decided to take the town lawyership for his'n, get out of the race for an appointment to the superior court bench, and throw his influence to Alf. Martin. And City Atty. Fli F. Seebirt; but then, oh! G. O. p. politics always were more or less complex.
A sarcastic e Jit or remarks that the German-language newspapers arc overlooking one good argument in their plea for tho teaching of German in our public schools. If more of us hurned to read German, lie says, we'd know more about the sort of tuff that is printed in the German-language papers, and would be warned in time to proven a lot of trouble.
Other Editors Than Ours
ot it task iu:vi:.li;i. (Tin New York .Mall.) Congressman Medill McCormick sums up war conditions with accuracy when he states that the issue will not be decided by Kurope but by the furnaces of America. Tho armies of Furope are deadlocked. Nothing that has been said by visitors returning from the battleheld tells the story of conditions and prospects so impressively and convincingly. The war Is far from won; a decision, if it is to be a military decision, is in the distant future a year at least, perhaps two. Is America ready for the test? Is our country yet in the mood for war? Do we realize that on the power we et rt on the battlefield of Furope and on that alone rests the decision of th greatest war the world has known? I o we appreciate that our men are crossing :.,oi oi miles of sea to accomplish that which the man power of Furope has so far failed to do? It is tino- for America to face the facts. t forget its easy chairs, its bank balances, its boasted resources of every kind. It is time to take on the spirit, the tirm determination, of grim visaged war. Let prophecy of peace go by the boards. Put aside discussion of the end of the war ami thereafter. The nd of the war will come sooner if we make up our minds that we are in a war of terrific proportions, testing the might of the mightiest, placing upon each and all of us the heaviest and the saddest task we have ever faced. The traditional spirit of America is to do each job well. It is not characteristic of us to be willing to "muddle through." Our forefathers could not have conquered what was a trackless wilderness had they not possessed a critty will to dare every peril and endure every "Hardship to accomplish their purpose. We of today are tailed upon to uphold that tradition; to turn back to the lands whence our fathers came ami demonstrate there that their spirit, their courage, their willingness to sacrifice still tire the blood and !irm the will of the sons. What they did here that this nation might live it is our task to do In Furope that the world may enjoy the blessings of freedom that have come to us. It is no one-year job. It is no springtime hope. It is a big task with its completion lixed by the promptness with which as a nation we view it in its full nature. Not the men on the tiring line but the country back of the men can bring the only kind of decision we can accept and bring it before we are as Furope is today.

All this talk about the national army being full of spies may have excellent foundation, and then again it may not. Aceord'ng to reports there are between 1 . G 0 0 and ",00 German spies, or men suspected of disloyalty, in the 15 national army t antonments. It is said that the hunt for spie and disloyal men in the service has been going on quietly for severa; weeks. Not long ago every commander of a company and each head of a battery was asked to make a report to the adjutant general on the men in his command who might be guilty of any form of treachery. Members of the intelligence bureau of the army and officers of the various units made a rigid investigation of every soldier and officer concerning whom there exieted the least doubt. The result was the lifting of from 100 to 200 men from each of the lti cantonments. This may all be perfectlytrue, but why have so much talk about it? If there are LSOO men in the national army whose loyalty is to be fairly questioned, why not take them out of the army immediately and put them where they can do no harm? If there are ",2O0, instead cf 1.600, then the reason for taking action is doubly strong. The condition. If it e.xirts, calls for action rather than talk. 7ut as a prelude to action, the authorities should be very careful

The Enormous Possibilities of the Aeroplane By Garrett I. Scriv.
THE MELTING POT
"Come Take Pot Lack Wüh Ut'
the Caproni brothers, the great Italian aero constructors, are not straining anybody' credulity in pre
dicting transatlantic aerial traffic and the running of aerial trains for
Pakenser anu goous at a speed approaching 1-00 miles an hour, and all to be accomplished shortly after the termination of the war. Many foresit;hted persons have for some time been looking forward confidently to Just such a consummation of the enormous progress that this originally American invention has exhibited under the stress of war, within the past three years. Fverybody knows that the aeroplane has "come to stay" and that ve have seen as yet hardly more than a beginning of its development.. The paths of the air are opened, but its great highways are to come. The best of the aeroplanes of today are, to those of the not-far-off future, like the caravals of Columbus to modern ocean liners. Yet to attain the point already reached the progress has been so wildly rapid that we are not apt to appreciate the wonder of it. Here is a fact that may serve as a kind of milestone by which to measure the amazing distance that we have traversed: "S ientilic Toys." Said Lord KcMn. Not long before his death, which occurred in 1907, Lord Kelvin, who
for many vears had stood at the
very foremost of Fnglish science. I paid a visit to this country just at I the time when the news of the.
secret flights of the Wr'ght brothers was beginning to leak out. When 1 spoke to him of what those inventors were doing and of the growing hope that mechanical flight would soon be an ac omplished. practical fact. he shook his head and declared that these things could never be anything more than interesting scientific toys, incapable of playing any part in the practical affairs of the world. Vet at that very time, or immediately afterward, one of the WrUhts made a flight of niore than IM miles. A year after lrd Kelvin's death, Orville Wright began to carry passengers, and Wilbur Wright flew "G miles, remaining an hour and a half in the air. and Iord Kelvin had been hut two years in his grave when Bleriot electrified the world by flying across the Fnglish channel as nonchalantly as a butterfly flutters over a pond. Of course, every reader will understand that here there is no challenge to the soundness of lord Kelvin's science or to the accuracy of his judgment on subjects that he had specially studied; but the very solidity of his fame emphasizes the marvelous quality of what was accomplished so swiftly In direct opposition to his settled opinion concerning the limits beyond which human achievement could not go. Wonderful Progress in Boen Years. Within only about ä dozen years since the highest scientific uuthor!ty pronounced the aeroplane to bo only a toy it has established itself as one of the mightiest weapons with which warring nations contend for victory and has made its immense practical usefulness so evi
dent to everybody that thousands!
are longing for the end of the war, if for no other reason than to see what peace can do in turning this terrible "toy" into an Instrument of human advancement. to which the entire history of civilization can present few rivals. There are many possible ways in which the aeroplane can be improved. Today it is a soaring, circling eagle; but it is not as the
eagle when he flaps his wings. Will J there ever be a wing-flapping aero-J plane? If there could be many ad-i vantages would apparently be gained. Sudden turns in the air, direct j
motion toward an object, taking flight und alighting would all be rendered easier through a more flexible control of the wings. Merely tlje ability to tip and turn the.n independently of one another and of the igid frame of the machine would make the aeroplane much
more manageable. It would cease to be an aeroplane and become a true mechanical bird. Increase of size and of engine! power are not all that are needed. ! There are .-crets of construction J in the bird's wings not jet com-j
pletely analvzed. lb' teatmrs evidently count for much; they are not a simple cover or an adornment, but they have an important function, a necessary part to play in the art of fl.ving. When an aeroplane is seen in high flight its likeness to bird, or to a gigantic dragon-flv. is taitlingly reali.-tie, but when it rests on the ground the crudeiiess of its construction becomes glaringly apparent. Cannot and will not the tilings that it lacks ho supplied? Surely they can and they will. No Limit to What Next Decade Maj Do.
The nearest perfect aeroplane of today will seem, to those who look upon its successor of the next decade, like the form and machinery of Fulton's rb'j-t steamboat comparfd with those of the swiftest and most luxurious product of modern shipyards. What would have seemed even to him a dream of unattainable perfection has now become a commonplace Tact. It will be the same vvi.h the development of the aeroplane. I would not dare to fix the limit to the number of passengers or the weight of freight that may be carried through the air. to nobody's astonishment, by the year 19 JO. Give us peace, give us an end forever of war-breeding dyr.ai-tits, give us the whole wrld wrapped in the mantle of universal 1 rotherhood and genius-freeirg democracy, and there will come upon this planet such a millennium as no eer or prophet ever saw in hl dreams. Through a man-made millennium onlv co we. win a God-givn one-
INSTALMENT MOLLY.
When Molly Meager married Mike, she purchased per instalment Plan Sufficient things to fill the house and overflow the frioving van. She yearned to make a srand impress upon the illace neighbor folk. And warm things up a few degrees while lotting Mr. Husband stoke; And when the other girls had viewed the shining things that Molly bought. They praised the liberality of Mr. Mike that Molly caught. So long as Michael still indulged in love's profound and blissful dream He very heartily endorsed that great and grand instalment scheme; But after while and bye ami bye his dreamy orbs began to ope. And he to question after all if that was just the proper dope. He saw his wages, wet k by week slide smoothly, swiftly out of sight. And saw the wolf of poverty so close he almost felt him bite. It did not make a front page scream, but Mike discreetly flew the coop. And left the bride who could not swim to paddle in six feet of soup. The furniture returned to those purveyors on instalment plan. And Molly went back home to Ma and angled for another man; But 'at the last accounts no bold adventurer had bit her bait. And all the other girls agree that Moll must face a long, long wait. ' Arthur Brooks Baker
Watch How the Income Tax Affects YOU
If you make a week, you have an income of X-.S0 a year and on this the government has fixed a war revenue tax of for the bache lor and $17.0 for the married man. The bachelor has an exemption of $1.000 and pas two percent of the remaining $1,860, while the married man escapes taxation up to J2.000 and is charged to percent of $560. Married and unmarried women pay similar amounts, provided the former is the sole support of the family. Suppose a man makes $.".f a week and his wife receives 2T. The couple will be exempt up to $2.000 joint income and will have to pay the 17.L'0 tax. However, if they own property they may claim further exemption for mortgage interest, taxes, water rents or any other personal indebtedness, which, if it amounts to $St0, will leave them tax free so far as the Fnited States government. i: concerned.

in fact, was, 'n dire straits. There had been a bit of a sciap up ahead between some Philliplno insurrectos and a couple of companies of the first Colorado volunteers. One of the con anies, bj the way, commanded by the then captain, now Lieut. Col lowing F. Booth, chief of staff to Gen. Bell at Camp Fpton. The Colorado men made a charge. Breezing along, elbow to elbow, with his comrades in this charge was Private II. F. Kedmond of Denver. Private Bedmond suffered from a slight impediment in spetch. He stuttered. As he galloped o'er the lea toward the hostile Filipinos, to the musical accompaniment of a jangling bajonet scabbard and canteen. Private Bedmond was moved to labored speech. "It's huh-huh-hot as huh-hah-h ." he began, but he never quitu finished the sentence. A Mauser bullet wandering through the tropical air. seeking a haven of rest, noted Private Bedmond's open mouth and popped right in, immediately thereafter popping right out again at a point somewhat removed from the place of entry. Down went Private Bedmond. A doctor came along and made cursory examination. "Shot through the mouth," he said. "Bullet penetrated his palate and came out the back of the head so. Can't live. Not a i ha nee!"

The Maying of a Soldier of the Seas
by rictiart BOCCKFX. Written for the International .New Service.
They've got a color sergeant in that same rtgiment by the name of Hegwer H. H. Heaver. He had two brothers killed over in Manila, and in a light at u place called Paranaqiie he himself was hit by a bullet which ripped away his Adam's apple. The doctors were almost a pessimistic about Hejrwer us thtry were about Red'Tiond. but one of them took the breastbone of a chicken and made a new Adam's apple for the soldier. The wound had dropped lleiwer's head over to one side, and aLer he got home he had to wear braces for years. He was drawing a pension from the government when this wav came on. and he waived his pension and fought his way back into the service again. These two are fair types of the spirit that animates the western volunteer. There are a bunch of them down at Mineola right now. forming the Colorado artillery; younger, of course, today than Bedmond or Ilegwer, but the same sort just the same.
A MA BIN F Ccj BPS CANTONMFNT. Nov. JH. A search is on for "the meanest man in 10 counties." The marine corps knows kvhu he is, and it wants to find him right away. He left the camp the other day' with $137 in $1 bills. The money belonged to a machine gun company in training here. It was collected as a general fund with which to buy tobacco. "The meanest man in 10 counties" conducted a shop down n the main street of the town. He seemed like a perfectly reliable citizen and so, wh-n the money had been collected one payday the !o s turned it over to him together with a list of their tobacco wants, from eUt plug to pipe cleaners. The tobacconist departed the next morning for the city to put in the order. When night came and he did not 'eturn the marines thought nothb T of it. It took nearlj" a week to ar 'use 'their suspicions. Today thev are looking for him hard. They
so they can, for I.arty
want that 5137 ba.ck put in subscriptions

They believe this, tobacco should go to the mn not in a iosition to grt their favorite brands. Some of tlie men have a. distinct feeling that their 'Vmokinir ffhould not he furnished by charity." The wages of a marine corps, en-, listed man, oilieers point out, arei larger than those of a. fir-t Beaten-' ant of the French army. And if th French lieutenant can buy his own. tobacco out of his salary, the marines feel that they can buy their loo. The only justification for Go-, raising of tobacco funds, in thruopinion, is the fact that the bghtinmen through them are assured that tloy won't luve to smoke foreign tobacco.

HOROSCOPE
The solemn Chink stretcher beareis came forward ami bundled Private Bedmond on their litter. Then they started back for the rear, treading their way through the. jungle, and this was the procession with which our story opens. The road was rough, and anywav, he Chink stretcher bearers were none too tender and considerate cd' their burden. They were anxious to get as far away as possible from those whining bullets back yonder. From time to time they stumbled. Suddenly they were startled by a noi.-e from the man on the stretcher. Gazing at him, they were amazed to lind him gesticulating for them to set him down. Pnvate Kedmond was an unlovely object with his face .watlod in bloody lirst aid bandages, and a fearsome, one. too. so the I'liinks qlli-kly obev ed. Then Private Kedmond motvned for one of the Chinks to approach him. Tremblingly the coolies advanced to the side of Jlu stretcher. Private Kedmond. by signs, made the Chink understand that he the Chink was to turn around, facing the other way. When he finally had the t.vnilr adjusted to his satisfaction Private Bedmond reached one foot off the stretcher and deftlv kicke;! :he Chink where it would do the mo.-t good. This accomplished. he noticed the astounded Celestials to resume their journey. There was no more

It is a fi.vorable time for diplomatic missions, whether they conoerp family or state. church or army. Fnder this sway of the stars, the seers declare that the president will make an a pointment that will surprise the nation. There is a friendly sign for all who desire to make explanations, and all who appear before the publie to challenge applause should make the best of the rule. It is especially lucky for politicians and otliee-holdel S. Theatrical manager.- have the direction tha is good today, making for brilliant and money-making ideas.
