RUSSIAN THIRST
AFLAME In SNOW
Thousands Brave Storm to
Lay in Stock Before
Petrograd Goes Dry.

Petrograd (via London, Nov. IA
Thousands Of men. women and children
stood since 4 o'clock this morning in
driving snowstorm before the doors
of the liquor shops on this the last
day in which it is possible to purchase
light wine and beer under the prohi-
bition act of the Russian government,
which on Monday becomes absolute.
Applicants for a final supply cf oe'-
erages came with baskets. sacks. carts
and wheelbarrows, many having
pawned their last belongings TO pro
cure means to purchase.
This final prohibition act is the last
of three distinct liquor reforms, the
first curtailing the sale of vodka and
the second abolishing il absolutely.
The third measure extends the pro-
hibition to every form Of alcoholic
drink in all portions of the empire un-
der martial law. Cities included un-
der the prohibition are Odessa, War
saw, Moscow, Kiev and virtually all
cities of Western Russia.

LORD ROBERTS DIES AT THE FRONT;
ALLIES DRIVEN OUT OF NEWPORT
TRUCE OVER WINTER
PROPOSED BY KAISER


Paris, Nov. 14.-Foiled In her ef-
forts to negotiate peace separately
with the Allies, Germany Is casting
around for means to obtain an ar
mistice over the winter. The fact
that the armisticc would prove of
advantage to no one but herself does
not seem to discourage Germany
from mooting the Idea. Emissaries
have already set out to pave the
way for a formal proposition to this
end when the moment appears pro-
pitious, and high German opinion is
quite sanguine as TO the results.
The armistice would be welcomed
in Berlin, primarily on account of
the rest II would give the German
army. All the armies badly require
a spell in which TO recuperate, but
an armistice would be chiefly en-
ployed by the Wilhelmstrasse In re-
doubling efforts to SOW dissension
among the Allies. The German
statesmen are possessed of the idea
that sooner or later they will stir
up trouble in this connection, and
they eagerly clutch at everything
that will afford them a fresh oppor-
tunity to try their skill in this way.

French governments that Ecuador and

TRIP FOR SPRING-RICE
British Ambassador Going to
Canada To night.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Much interest
was awakened here to-day in the an
nouncement that Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
the British Ambassador, would leave
here tomorrow night for visit to the
Duke of Connaught, Governor General
OF Canada.
The ambassadors visit 10 Canada, it
was said. would be purely a So
cial one to which he had been looking
forward for some time, but it is be-
lieved that while in Canada the am
bassador will discuss with the Duke of
Connaught a number of important
questions which have arisen as re-
suit OF the war.

WILSON DODCES
TRAILING CROWD
President Enjoys Evening
Walk Down Broadway

Golf was the order Of the day for
President Wilson, who, accompanied by
his daughter, Margaret Wilson, and DR..
Grayson, his private physician, arrived
at the Pennsylvania Station at 6:05
O'Clock yesterday morning. Most of the
day he spent at Piping Rock, where he
played the course, using borrowed
clubs.
The President breakfssted in his pri-
vate car with his daughter. DR.. Gray
son and Colonel E. NJ. House, whom he
is visiting and who was at the train TO
greet him. At 1880 o'clock he drove to
the House residence, 1l5 East SD ST.,
four Secret Service men fanking his
machine. No one recognized him,
though the hood of the car was flung
back and ne sat in plain view.
A few minutes at the colonel's home
and the party emerged with golf bags
and sweaters, warmly clad for the chill
run over Long Island, and in less than
an hour the President was facing his
first tee A brisk wind swept the
course, but the President was in top
form, besting DR.. Grayson, who is, as
a rule, too much for him.
After luncheon, which was taken at
( club, the President motored back
to Manhattan, the Secret Service cars
stringing out behind him. So quietly
had his trip been made that he was not
annoyed by crowd, hardly half a
dozen people being on the course dur
ing his game. the regular Saturday af-
ternoon crowd coming in after he had
left.
The trip home was varied with side
runs, out Of the direct line back to New
York, the President seeming to take
pleasure in the speed of the machine.
Colonel Houses residence was reached
little after o'clock, both the Presi-
dent and his host staying indoors till
well after dinner.
At s:45 o'clock both set out on q
brisk walk, first over to Sixth av.,
down to SD st. and then west TO Sew
enth av.; then down Seventh av. to
Broadway. At Broadway and AID st. he
paused to hear Florence Harmon, a
suffragette, and as he did so the crowd
recognized him for the first time,
breaking out into cheers.
Thence down 70 34th ST., the crowd
swelling behind him; west on 34th ST..
to the Waldorf, where ruse flung
them off the trail He slipped into the
hotel, mounted on the elevator TO the
second floor, and crossed to the 33d St.
side. A moment later he was in Fifth
av.. unnoticed. At Marceau's he stopped
for a few moments TO look at a picture
of Mrs. Wilson; a bus ride, and ne
was home.
Attendance at the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian Church and dinner at the
home of Cleveland H. Dodge will make
up his programme to-day. He will take
the o'clock train back to Washington.

London. Nov. l4.--It can be stated on

ARC AND THE iNCANDESCENT
Explanation of Entirely Different Prin- clples Under Which the Two
 Are Employed.

The arc light and the incandescent light work on totally different princi ples. It was noted many years ago that when an electric circuit was bro ken the current jumped across slight gap, producing 9 brilliant flame. The shape of this flame was roughly an arc from one conductor to the other; thus the word arc" was adopted All arc lamps burn in the air and not in vacuum. The light is produced b. the current leaping across q small air gap between the two electrodes, or car bon pencils, and heating the tips of the carbins white hot Floating particles of whote-hot carbon also add to the brilliancy. A mechanism is necessary to feed in the cartoons IS fast as they burn away, or otherwise the gap would increase until the current could not jump across and the light would go out.
 The incandescent lamp, common in most homes and office buildings, is oh tained from a piece of white-hot wire heated by the passage of an electric current The wire must be inclosed in glass bulb from which the air has been exhausted. otherwise 1t would quickly be burned up and consumed The wire filament is now made Of tungsten, which resists the flow of electricity with so much vgor that the current. in working to get by the n hCf fru 0 fc "a Ntir tn n. descence, hence the name.

Bio Money.

We have spoken of small coins, but what of large ones? The record, both for size and value. must surely be held by one described by Roger Ascham. It was specially made as a gift from the inhabitants of Tyrol to the Emperor MaXimilian, and was of the size of great Suffolk cheese and as heavy as two men could bear. Over 5000 guilders (about G1,200 English) had gone to the making of 1t, and it was duly stamped with the arms of the emperor. and on the other side with his wife's face most lively printed" This. however, was freak. The largest coin ever In circulation was probably the old English G5 piece.-London Chronicle.

Three Aces Of Crime.

There are three ages of criminals, said Lecoq. the detective.
 The first age, from seventeen to thirty. is the daring and desperate one. Highway robbery. bludgeonings and hold-ups, murder for a few dollars this is the worst age, q cruel wicked and supremely foolish age.
 The second age from thirty to for. ty-fve, is the cautious middle one. Burglaries that are safe and easy, for. gerry. counterfeiting-in word, crimes demanding neither violence nor pluck --that is the second age
 "The third age, from forty-hve to seventy. is the executive one. The criminal is now a gang leader. He does not act himself, but he plans and com mands crimes of magnitude. train rob berries, bank robberies, kidnaplngs and the like"

SUCCESS NOT DUE TO LUCK
Photographer VIII Not Admit That Element of Chance Enters h.
 to Ills Work.

When the amateur photographers peeved the other was glad to explain.
 "A friend of ours just asked me to come over and take a picture of her baby" he said. She apologi2ed for aksing, which was unnecessary be- cause I was glad to do it, but she spill ed the beans by giving her reason tAat had such good luck taking pictures"
 Well, you do, don't you?" inquired the friend.
 There you go,' the photog. dpher exclaimed. There's no such thing Gs luck in my photography. What veXes CT them inseparable.
 Photography is as exact science as running a survey nowadays with those who know how to handle cam era. With the photometer and expos ure tables, proper developer and a thermometer for determining its tenn perature, every last element of luck removed from exposure and negative making. The same is true of the printing processes. You know in ad- vance how much light you have and how much you need; faetorial tables tell you how long to leave plate in the developer; every step is timid with stop watch. And that's why 1t annoys me to have people say that my art is luck proposition.
 Before 1 had taken as many nic- lures as stand to my record now, there was sometimes luck, mostly bad Although, as 1t appears to me at pres uent, l got better results than should have obtained. But if man with little experience and the proper out fit exercises as much intelligence as is necessary to boil eggs, photography is no longer a matter of luck, and thank nobody to call me lucky
