BERLIN. August 26-Berln is stewing

The drought is the longest and the
weather the hottest that has enveloped
the city in seventy-seven years.
Everywhere the suffering IL intense.

life in the city almost unbearable as a
residence.
Casualties among the poor are enor-
nous Not a day goes by without at
least score Of prostrations and as many
deaths reported. Business has fallen on
10 per cent. and the hustlinE German
capital has taken on the tone of ennui
that makes the midday siesta OF tropical
towns a matter of custom and n means
of self preservation.
\ crop failure seems imminent. Even
the fertile valley of the Rhine has been
stricken. and in the outlying districts
government returns report damage 10
the extent OF many millions OF MARKS.
The situation has reached a condition
W here the sluggish German department
of the interior must act. If IL would allay
huge loss of life and money.
What action Will be tken by the gov
ernment is a matter of conjecture, but
that taken by the authorities of Berlin
has been both prompt and efficacious.
The city fathers have thrown open the
! fountains of the city TO the poor Ragged
urchins unkempt workmen and women
nursing babies gather in huge crowds

The streets are flushed three times a

Added to these municipal measures are
the efforts of various relief societies,
whose funds have been swollen by con-
tributions from every class of society.
These organiZa tons work chiefly among
the poor, endeavoring to make life bear
able for their charges by the distribution
of milk food and directions governing

The fact is that while the ancient con-

Socialism in Russia Growing.

Russia. the connecting link between the
east and west has naturally assimilated
some of the characteristics of both. She
has fallen into the political sloth that
has marred the eastern empires with cor
ruption. intrigue and internal class dis
sension. and has Offset these drawbac ks
with emulateG principles of western pro-
greSsiveness. The latter characteristic
is eXempified in the events of the past
week
For years the spirit of militarism has
been combated by the masses. and for
country-bred. half-sayage citizens for the
best army material. This was all very
we'll while the anti-militarists were in
the minority, but, with the advance of
time. socialism has spread its creed of
passive resistance to such an extent that
the czar has felt the need of a reinstate-
ment of military favor to strengthen his
forces
To set about engendering this spirit
the government officials conceived the
plan of emulatng England and her Boy
Scout movements. The campaign was
quietly set afoot. Circulars were printed
and distributed broadcast Memories of
past military glory were invoked and
every known chord of popular appeal
struck by those in charge of the venture.
The result has been far from satisfac-
tory, and, though the movement has been
in vogue for some time ii was not until
this week that Nicholas felt himself Suf-
ficiently strong to risk an assembage OF
a national character. 1t was decided
however, to risk the derision of the popu-
lace in an effort TO stir a spirit of emu
lation among the children. and today
troops and battalons of boys are form
ing in st Petersburg.
1t seems, however, that the marshaling
of these children was ill-adyised. for
scarcely more than 5000 have answered
the call-many of these from those half
savage parts of the great empire where
fighting is the only occupation.
The socialist press is jubilant. and
even the government publications main
tain an ominous silence. 1t is safe to say
that socialism is too firmly inculcated in
the masses to give way to the uniforms
and petty authority embodied in a men,
