ALCOHOL AND THE SOLDIER.
German officer Radically Opposed to
Use of Liquor in the
Army.

An interesting contribution TO the
discussion growing out of the custom
of giving liquor to soldiers is made by
Count Won Haeseler, until lately COM
mander Of the sixteenth army corps in
Germany, and one OF Emperor William
military fayorites.
The count Is not one of those who be-
lieve that strong drink is necessary to
make a good soldier, nor does be be-
lieve that alcoholic stimulation in
creases the powers of endurance or the
fighting quality in soldiers. On the con-
trary. Count Won Haeseler, after % years
of total abstinence in the army, protests
strongly against the use Of liquor by
soldiers. He says
"The soldier who abstains altogether
IS the best man. He can accomplish
more. can march better and is better
soldier than the man who drinks even
moderately. Mentally and physically
he IS better. Strong drink tires
and only increases thirst For soldiers
wafer, coffee, and above all tea"
The testimony Of this officer who has
behind him the record Of long and ac-
tive service in the German army, should
be worth something In the discussion OF
a question Of this kind. There is little
doubt that the consensus Of expert mill
tary opinion in Europe and America viii
affirm the correctness Of his judgment
To say that a sense Of WEAKNESS and
thirst follows indulgence in alcoholic
stimulants is merely stating physi
oloeical fact. Excessive stimulation
means a physical and mental reaction
I'm which the powers are at a low ebb.
In the case Of the soldier it woulr
seem TO the "noncomhatant that
sober clear-headed, well-balanced fight
or is worth more in the long run thar
the soldier crazed into reckless darini
or frenzied madness by temporary alco
bolic stimulation.-Chicago Record

From Planters Hotel.

A tin box containing s1s4 was stolen
from the Office of the Planters Hotel
early yesterday morning. Edward Wer-
ner. night bellboy. has disappeared and
efforts to find him have been futile.
The money stolen represented the late

to Pat Meade. the night clerk, who holds
it until the cafe is reopened in the morn
ing. The Planters safe is locked after
IL p. m. and the cafe receipts are kept
in the office.
Mr.. Meade went to the barber shop
about four O'Clock yesterday morning. He
returned in u few minutes, but did not
discover the absence of the money box
or the disappearance OF Werner.
1t was not until seven o'clock, when the
day cashier of the cafe called for the box,
that the theft was discovered.
Werner was employed at the Planters
about a year ago. He returned a few
days ago. His past record was good. He
is about u years old.
The Planters yesterday wired hotels in
all cities to look out for the missing bell
boy.
