nels, the safeguarding Of embassy and
consular properties of countries at war
as well as the protection of their citizens
The new department of war is under
the direct charge Of William Phillips
third assistant secretary of state and
chief of the western European division
of that department. With him are AL
bert H Putney. lately at the head of the
division of the near east. and Charles
Lee Cook, who was assistant chief Of the
old western European bureau.
When the little war cloud mo bigger
than mans hand which for fifty years
has been lowering menacingly over the
stormy Balkans. raised above the hori-
ION and swelled to such proportions as to
overshadow the whole of Europe, the at
fairs of that threatened world zone were
being prosaically looked after by the two
regular bureaus, that of western Europe
and that OF the near east.
But as the conflict grew, it became ap-
parent that we, as the most important
world power among the neutral nations,
would be called upon to take a peaceful
part in the conflict So, on August 6, the
Secretary of State signed the order merg-
ing the bureaus Of the near east and
western Europe into one, under the new
department of war designation, and with
assistants. with the aid of a dozen or
more clerks, who since that time have
worked nights and Sundays increasingly,
took up the work ironing out the minor
wrinkles which crease the war-torn
countenance of Europe.
The first duty of the department Of
war, it so CHANGED. was to it's own gov
eminent in arranging for the relief of
American tourists caught unwittngly in
the war zone. That in itself, however,
was task of monstrous proportions. and
at a single bound the peaceful interna-
tional routine which had before kept the
two separate bureaus moderately busy
grew to tenfold proportions: and where

accepted the responsibility of looking

all ports and cities where embassy prop
critics and aliens might be menaced by

plish this 1t was necessary to construct
from the ranks of our representatives

new department Of war announced the

The entrance Of Japan into the inter-

of war upon Germany added to the in

for when the Japanese ambassador left
Berlin he surrendered the embassy of his
country to the United States ambassador
in accordance with arrangements already
made.

Less Hard Drinking
Amonu Soldiers at War

THE drinking of intoxicants is being
discouraged among the battling
troops of Europe. This is one of the
features of military progress which con-
trasts strongly with earlier practices in
armies Liquor was thought to be SOL
dier's right and a good thirst well slaked
was not thought incompatible with good
soldiership. Times change, and men
change with them.
Earl Kitchener asked Of the British
troops that they abstain from drinking
while on foreign field service. Emperor
William forbade the treating OF SOL
diers and in various ways short of pro-
hibition has sought to restrict the drink
ing of beer. The French government has
suppressed the sale of absinthe in Paris,
the. city of chief consumption of that
devastating liquor. That prohibition.
though not directly military measure,
Is significant. A wounded French soldier,
according to one message from Europe, In
praising the French commissariat. Is
quoted as saying: I'VE had fresh meat
every day and wine and coffee were new
er lacking But wine to the ordinary
French soldier perhaps would not be
classified as drinking" The win or
dinair'' of the Frenchman Of the humble
classes Is not very exhilarating or fiery
beverage. 1t has wittily been called sour
lemonade made with grapes.
It has been reported In the news that
drink shops throughout the Russian en-
pire have been closed since mobilization
began and that the effect Of tho measure
has been so good that 1t Is proposed de-
spite the cessation of the big revenue
from the brandy monopoly, to continue
the operation for another three months
and possibly until the end of the war.
AS the profession of the soldier has
grown more exacting the need OF clear
heads and cool thinking has grown Inn
perative Alcoholic courage, or aruhcial-
ly inf1amed courage, is not tthe kind that
wins modern battles or keeps the other
side from winning.
The increase of sobriety in the Amer
lean army is gratifying and noteworthy
circumstance. The hard drinking and
loud swearing soldier Is exceptional. and
unless these defects are counterbalanced
or outweighed by conspicuous soldier vir~
tues, man of this character will not last
in the army. An officer in the American
military service who. II he have thirst
for liquor, finds 1t difficult to control It,
Is a doomed man.
Temperance in the army Is one of the
great aims of the military administration
and efforts in this direction have been
well rewarded, and, according to expert
opinion, would be more highly rewarded
If the sale of beer at post canteens, or
post stores, could be resumed. Officers
would like to keep their men on the res
ervation and away from the temptation of
the "doggeries" which INSCRIPTIONS civ
ilans plant as close as possible to mill
tary posts.

The Sleeper.

"EURoPEAN sleeping cars are very
- dear-$20 a berth, in fact-but
they afford you the privacy Of a bed
room"
The speaker was Raymond Hitchcock.
He resumed:
Our sleeping cars, while comfortable
enough, afford no privacy Comfortable
as they are, it is very hard to sleep in
them.
Il was travelling one night Chicago
ward. The berth above me was occupied
by a 300-pound broker. 1t was impossible
to slumber anywhere within a half-mile
radius of that broker, and at about 2 in
the morning l climbed up to him. took
him by the shoulders and shook him
rudely.
What do you mean,' he growled, by
waking me out of sound sleep?'
But it's such an ugly sound said 1.
It's such an ugly, horrible sound that we
other passengers positively refuse to toll
crate it."

THE Bank of France, at the beginning

nearly 5000 eOO,0o0 francs. Commenting

must have put me to sleep. Anyhow,

washerwoman woke me to deposit 500,

bank, and on the third day I deposited
$50 myself"

state that before resorting to the placing
of an American flag over any threatened
foreign property as a means Of protecting
it the strongest of representations should
be made to the government in whose ter
ritory the property is located, SO that II
possible the necessity for actually taking
over the property by American repre-

In cases involving citizens of any of the
countries in whose behalf the United
States has agreed to act, American rep

taken should the suppliants be citizens

any official representations.
