Get Booze in SnowstOrm.

Petrograd (via London), Nov. 15.--
Thousands of men, women and chii-
dren stood since o'clock this morn
ing in driving snowtorm before the
doors of the liquor shops on this, the
last day on which it is possible to
purchase light wine and beer under
the prohibition act of the Russian gov
ernment, which, on Monday, becomes
absolute. Applicants for final sup
ply Of beverages came with baskets,
sacks, carts and wheelbarrows, many
having pawned their last belongings
to procure means to purchase.
This final prohibition act is the last
of three distinct liquor reforms, the
first curtailing the sale of vodke and
the second abolishing it absolutely.
The third measure extends the prohi
bition to every form of alcoholic drink
in all portions of the empire under
martial law. Cities included under the
prohibition are Odessa, Riga, War
saw, Moscow, Kiev and virtually all
cities of western Russia.

Imprisonment by Villa Of the entire

Consul Silliman's report to Wilson

in Mexico are more serious than at

place the executive power in the

Bou!ogne, Nov. ia story of a
terrible fight in a church in a viii
lage situated between Dixmude and
Nieuport has been told to me by
an OLD man who was present. This is
his story:
One night some German soldiers
knocked at his door and ordered him
to state where two companies of Bel
oian infantrymen were who had bee:,
seen in the vicinity earlier. The man
pleaded ignorance and was beaten,
after which the soldiers left and oc-
cupied the church opposite the old
mans house.
Awaiting favorable opportunity,
the old man, thinking of his country,
put forth all his strength and crawled
to the Belgian encampment a few
miles away.
The Belgian officer decided on a
sudden attack and the Belgians rushed
the church. All was silent.
An anxious time elapsed. Sudden
ly a light shone in the, corner, fol-
lowed by a shot, which struck a pill
lar in the direction of the light
The Belgians charged, firing as they
went. All was confusion. Men fell,
and chairs were overturned. For ff-
teen minutes the church was a babel.
Then the Belgians fetched large
bundle of hay and, putting it in the
middle of the square, lighted it. The
whole scene was illuminated, but what
a scene! Not German had escaped.
A clergyman who remained in Ar
ras through every bombardment has
given this description of the town as
it exists today:
81 have stayed and Pm going to
continue to stay at my post in this
ruined town. Yesterday the place
had another bombardment, the fourth.
Arras is now grave. The churches
and The cathedral are all gone. Four
hundred houses have been burned.
The roads are disappearing and leav-
ing enormous cavities. Yesterday the
civil and military hospital of st. Jean
was shelled for the tenth time. The
wounded and sick were placed in the
cellars. One of them was the chief
magistrate, who was badly wounded
by shell.
"The hospice is also a victim of the
explosion of shells, 80 persons being
killed and II injured. The dead and
wounded are all huddled together in
cellars. The only persons still seen
in the streets are priests and soldiers.
For over a month we have now heard
contant cannonade and the enemy
have been within two miles of our
town for nearly four weeks"
