Russian Army Graft.

One of the clearest disclosures of the
war between Russia and Japan was the
fact that official morality in the former
country was at a shockingly low stage.
In large part the troubles of Russia in
the far east were the result of the pecu-
lation and fraud which had for years
permeated the military services to the
point of reducing the efficiency of both the
army and the navy. 1t was clearly devel-
funds were regarded by officers as SUBJ
ject to their personal gratis. Vast guam
titles of supplies for which the govern
ment had expended heavy sums disap-
peared without leaving a trace. Enor-
nous prices were paid for work done
and materials furnished. with a large
percentage unquestionably flowing into
the pockets of individuals.
Apparently this grating had been in
progress for years. The war so plainly
proved its disastrous effect that the
government at st. Petersburg undertook
to institute reforms. the extent Of which
could not be fully ascertained owing
to the secrecy with which official pro-
ceedings in Russia are conducted. From
time to time, however, came evidences
that some progress was being made to-
ward setting up a new standard OF hon
esty IN the public service. Yet, ac-
cording to a dispatch that has just been
received. the warning given by the courts

years ago has not been fully effective.
A senator was appointed some time ago
to investigate certain alleged frauds in
the military establishments. His re-
port, just filed, reveals entertainments in
the commissary department alone
amounting to several million rubles.
From kieff and Odessa supplies suf-
ficient for the entire army have vanish
ed. Officers of high rank are impli
Gated, and 1t is expected that over
seventy arrests will be made and that
large estates, bought, it is alleged, by
the accused officers with the proceeds
OF their plumber, will be confiscated.
The fact that the Russian government
Is moving against this condition Is en-
couraging. 1t indicates that whatever
may be the lingering sentiment in the
army and navy that public funds are
private pickings, the idea Is not shared
by the authorities higher up. 1t is not
to be expected that reform which
aims at national evil, with its roots
in the habit Of generations. can be eff
fected without checks. If Russia can
manage in twenty-five years to con-
vince its army and navy officers that
their first duty is to save the state I'M
necessary expense it will have done well.
1t will perhaps require the development
of an entirely new generation to eradi-
cate the traditional habit of grating
from service that has been for many
years honeycombed with fraud

Several years ago The Star expressed
surprise that the Rothschilds did not
establish branch house under their
own name in this country. America was
growing in Importance so rapidly In the
financial world 1t seemed time for soms
young member of the famous family to
come over and set up his tent and ad-
vertise money to lend. There being a
house of Rothschild in London, Paris,
Berlin and Vienna, why not one in New
York, with all the opportunities of the
new world in reach?
II is probably now too late. The house
of Morgan has reached such proportions
that even the Rothschilds would have
to sing small on this side. Count that day
dull in the money world which brings no
news of fresh venture OF large degree
by the house of Morgan. Now it is the
acquisition OF a great American business.

He revels in distorted actions.

Now he lies prone upon the floor.

He draws them to their utmost scope.
He puffs and blows. he pants and sweats.
And very stark and thin he gets.

I am not sure that by degrees
He'll grow into Hercules.
He's hopeful that his writings will
Bring prodigies of strength and skill.

Lest presently he break in two;
Or with his limbs all out Of joint,

Long Novels Again.

In the good old days a novelist who
gave his reader story of less than 25O.-
600 words was regarded as skimping. The
novel readers of a few decades ago liked
large doses of fiction. They wanted some
thing that they could keep on reading for
a month. something in two or three vol
umes preferably. No short stories for
them. II they wanted light. while-you-
wait literature they got it in the Ffreside
Companion or the Chimney Corner. But
this was not regarded as literature, mere
ly as the material for the filling Of un-
considered trifes of time.
OF late years the tendency In fiction
has been toward shorter tales. The short
story has been developed as a work OF
art, and some of the most gifted writers
of fiction have contributed to the enjoy
ment of great numbers Of people through
This medium of expression. Indeed the
short story has been declared to be an
epitome of the period, the terse, tense
expression of the strenuous life of today.
But a change Is observable In this
respect. Long novels are again appear
ing. far beyond the 10000 mark, which
has been the limit of many publishers
The tendency toward greater length in
fiction has appeared most markedly in
England. Such authors as Arnold Ben
nett Lucas Malet, William de Morgan
and Robert Kitchens are turning out
stories that suggest the old days of Rich
ardson. The latest de Morgan story con-
tains about $4,000 words, while the
Kitchens book of last imprint will hold
an average reader nearly a week Of even
ings.
1t is TO be doubted, however. whether
public taste will change materially In this
respect, 1t will still be profitable for pub
ishers to put forth shorter individual
stories, averaging about $1,000 or CO. coo
words, tales to be read in one sitting
after dinner or on trip from Washing
ton to New York. while the newspapers
and magazines will continue to meet an
unmistakable demand for tabloid fiction
with short stories, each complete with
a cycle of cause and effect. The habit
of getting finished entity Of comedy or
tragedy in a small package has been too
firmly fixed to be shaken by the offerings
OF few high priests of prolonged COM
position.
