PREDICTS SEVERAL CHANGES.

New York, Nov. 19.-Edward Bar
 row, president of the International league, predicts several changes in his circuit in the event that peace nego- tiations between organized baseball and the Federal league fall through, as reports from the west indicated last night. Jersey City and Baltimore will both lose their franchises accord
 ing to Barrow, who stated that the Jersey City team will play in Brooklyn, and the Baltimore franchise will be shifted to either Syracuse, N. Y, or Richmond, Va. If the change is made the Brooklyn Federals will be forced to contend against all-season baseball in Brooklyn. whereas in the past season they only conflicted about twenty-five times with the Dodgers.

STRONG LIQUOR UNDER
 BAN IN RUSSIA
PTQbibltion Scores Victory in Empire
 Through M. TCheIIsheff.

Petrograd, Nov. 19.-Not a drop of vodka, whiskey, brandy, gin or any other strong liquor is obtainable to- day from one end to the other of Rus- sia. a territory populated by 15O,O0O,- O60 people and covering one-siXth of the habitable globe
 The word prohibition in Russia must be taken literally. It's use does not imply partly successful attempt to curtail the consumption of liquor, resulting in drinking in secret places, the abuse of medical licenses and gen eral evasion and subterfuge. It does mean that a vast population who consumed $1,000,00O.000 worth of vodka a year; whose ordinary condi- tion has been described by Russians themselves in ranging from a slight degree of stimulation upward, has been lifted almost in one day from a drunken inertia to sobriety The nation has been compelled, virtually oyer night, to abandon it's enormous daily consumption of vodka, a liquor that is almost pure alcohol, and be- come abstemious to the extent of let ting no liquor pass it's lips.
 On the day when the mobilization of the Russian army began special policemen visited every public place where vodka is sold, locked up the supply of liquor and placed on the shop the imperial seal. Since tho manufacture and sale of vodka is. a government monopoly in Russia, it is not difficult thing to enforce pro- hibition.

WEST FLANDERS CUT
 OFF FROM BELGIUM
Scene Of InCessant Operations Re
 mains an Island.

The Hague, Via. London, Nov. 19, 3:3O a m.-Advices received here from Thielt, Belgium, which were brought by way of Sas Van Gent by messenger and are dated Monday, Nov. 16, state that West Flanders, the scene of incessant military operations, remains an island cut off from the rest of Belgium through the blowing up of most of the bridges leading thereto. Peasants are obliged to make emergency bridges from blanks and crawl along these to escape from the danger zone. The Germans have de- clared the territory west of the rail- road running from Antwerp to Brus- sells and thence to Mons an official war area, where nobody, including even Germans, is allowed to travel without special military passport.
 It is difficult to obtain reliable news of the situation in the war zone, as the bedraggled men and women who manage to escape are too miserable, through cold and hunger, to give a connected account of their experi- ences. Their only definite recollection seems to be the continued cannon fire and the endless procession of wounded filling their villages.
 Dixmude Entirely Ruined.
 It was learned from some of them, however, that Dixmude, the scene of such severe fighting, is entirely ruined. Newport also suffered se- verely. The principal church there has lost it's tower and it's roof and the renaissance carvings in it's interior have been demolished. In Ypres the Cloth hall, which was one of the few ancient buildings saved from the English siege in the year 1883, is se- verely damaged by shrapnel fire.
 In Termonde the Germans have ordered the schools reopened, but since the ten thousand inhabitants have been reduced to a hundred, there are no pupils, and besides as four ffths of the town is in ruins, there are no schools. The bridges here are lightly guarded by men of the Ba- varian landWehr.
 Deserted by Population.
 Ghent is deserted by it's population but is overf1owing with German wounded. Zeebrugge, according to reports, has been made a station for submarines by the Germans. At Alost the population is beginning to return.

GERMAN SOCIETIES TO
DISCUSS MERGER PLAN
Iwenty-four Teutonic Singing So
ciedes Will Unite to Meet
New Excise Law.

In order to meet the requirements of
the new excise law in the shane of a
1850 license. the twenty-four German
societies of the city will consider steps
toward amalgamation at a meeting at
the Arion Club Thursday night, called BY
President August Schmidt. The plan TO
be submitted will provide for the con-
tinuance Of the society and the musical
activities, but at an increased fee for
membership, and the issuance Of an an
peal for contributions. Many voluntary
contributions have come in and IL is
likely the people will respond to the call
in order to continue the societies.
The dues of the Saengerbund already
have been raised from IS to SO and an
appeal for contributions made TO pre-
vent the disbanding of the sixty-year-old
society. Smaller societies are having diff
hculty TO survive and probably will wei
come amalgamation plans.
Martin Wiegand, president Of the United
German Societies, approves OF the CEN
tralization of all the German societies
and proposes to include a German
school, a turner or athletic school.
music and singing schools for girls and
boys. the various, sick benefit societies.
Branches OF national organizations, each
would be formed into separate sections or
divisions with their own chairmen The
whole would form a Deutsche geselI-
schaft, or German society.

The scent price Of admission for the
moving picture show Is doomed. The
average price for the average show Is
cents now-and it may be cents fol
time-but in very short while II is
going TO be 10 eents-then It Is going to
be more than 10 cents
This applies especially to those houses
which show feature flrns Of the better
sort They ought TO receive at least Is
or 20 cents-and 5 cents would only be
q fair price for the two hours entertain
fnent that they give. ] believe that there
is big field for the house which shows
one and two reel subjects-in fact usu-
ally prefer the short picture myself. but
even today such a house should not show
more than three reels for cents. And
the public should not expect II. In this
connection The Herald Is able TO demon
strate that II is in good company by the
following extract from the editorial
column OF the Moving Picture World:
The remarkable increase In the average
price Of admission charged by the motion
picture theaters In this city has come
about in such a gradual way that It has
escaped general attention. The number
OF even the smaller theaters which now
charge Is cents has Increased steadily.
The exhibitor is no longer afraid to
charge adequately for what he knows is
fine program. Quality is responsible
for this pleasing change. In many sec
tions of the East. We are sorry TO say,
the nickel is still the prevailing price,
but the reign of quality must eventually
affect the industry in every part OF the
country
That The Herald's favorite photoplay
contest is attracting a great deal of at
tention is proved by two things. The first
is that the national moving picture maga-
zines are commenting favorably upon
The Herald's action-the second is the

turns are coming in. A great many OF
