Russia Goes DRY"

Whether we can believe all that comes out of
Perograd or not 1t is significant report that the
Gar has resolved upon ending for all time the
government sale Of alcoholic drinks The sale Of
vodka has been stopped completely since the war
began and various reports have arrived to show
the improvement effected The change in Russian
spirit and efficiency is declared to be striking.
Savings bank deposits have increased and the de-
mand for continuance Of the reform after the
wars end is widespread. Ii may we'll be true that
the Car has resolved to take the important step
Of ending the government monopoly as an initial
measure toward lifting the vodka curse from his
people
Meanwhile teetotalism continues in the British
army. To accentuate the fact poster circulated
IN England and signed by Lord Roberts and Sir
Frederick Treves, among others, urges "al men
serving the empire" to become total abstainers,
"at least as long as the war lasts" This is the
reason given:
II has been proved By the most careful scientific
experiments, and completely confirmed by actual
drink % slows the power to signals; (2) con-
fuses prompt judgment; go spoils accurate shoot
ing: 4) hastens fatigue; (5) lessons resistance 10
disease and exposure; 90 increases shock from
wounds.
This argument and appeal may not reach the
whole length of permanent teetotalism. But il
is significant and persuasive, and will hardly be
forgotten when the war is ended.

SOCIALISTS AND WAR
What the Prussians Did at the Copen-
hagen Conference Of 1910.
M thn Editnr nf The Trihune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You have given much space 10
the discussion between Professor
Hourwich and Mr.. Ladder as to So
cialist responsibility in the present
European conflict. Other papers have
taken up the same question. But |
have nowhere seen any discussion OF
the subject that included some very
significant happenings at the last In
ternatonal Socialist Congress, that at
Copenhagen, in 1910.
! was present as delegate from the
Fabian Society. The hostility of the
German delegates to the English was
very marked. The deep antagonlsm
was especially manifest at the report
of the commission on arbitration and
disarmament. The majority report OF
the commission, as presented TO tha
congress, was general in its nature. IL
proclaimed the duty of Socialists to
avoid war, to promote international
arbitration and to discourage arma-
ments and secret diplomacy. Its one
clear message was to proclaim IN
sistently the autonomy OF al! nations
and to defend them against all attack
and all oppression
An amendment was proposed. signed
by two delegates only, one French and
one English, valiant and Keir Hardie.
II provided for the calling of general
strike in case of war, strike "in the
industries that supply war with its
implements" Hardie, in most elo-
quent and moving speech in support OF
this amendment. proposed in case OF
conflict the calling of strike in the
Welsh coal fields and the krupp works
at Essen. lie was answered by the
Prus sian leader, Ledebour, who repre-
sents a Berlin district in the Reichs-
tag. Ledebour denounced Hardie for
his proposals, said he represented not
international socialism, but British
cowsrdice, and made his proposals not
TO enforce peace. but to protect Eng
land. who was afraid of war and ur-
prepared for it. A stormy scene fol-
lowed.
The report Of the Social Democratic
party OF Germany to the congress con
tains this significant sentence: Herr
Bebel has Furthermore expressed the
opinion that a great European war
would chiefly benefit the Social Demo-
cratic movement"
Does this not lend color to the view
that a chsracteristically immoral leu
tonic pragmatism is the basis of the
support given by majority Of German
Socialists to their military leaders?

Break the Egg Trust.

No legal proceedings such as those which Attor
ney General Parsons is undertaking are necessary
TO convince New Workers that there is an EGG
trust" Just how the affair is conducted is beyond
their knowledge but they see its results in the
annual jumps in prices and have full faith that DO
such unanimity could prevail as does prevail If
somebody weren't rigging the market
The defendants in the Attorney Generals action
have been attacked in official actions before with
out permanent success in breaking the trust
If it is trust within the meaning Of the law. 1t
is to be hoped this case will be more successful.
This is going to be a winter when every cent taken
from the cost Of living Of the family Of ordinary
circumstances will be a distinct help, and eggs
play an important part in the domestic arrange
ments of most families.

Mr.. McAneny's Poor Ground for Sup
porting Glynn.

Whether Mr.. McAneny is right in supportnlS
Governor Glynn is a question for him to settle
with his own judgment. But if he does support
the Governor it is regrettable to find an ofhcla'
who has himself labored for real economics in the
fusion Board OF Estimate swallowing whole GOV
ernor Glynn's story Of economies at Albany AMI
passing it along as his own.
Mr. McAneny will find, IL he Analyses the u
ures. that Governor Glynn has not saved the sta'e
S11 100000, or anything like that sum. He VIII
find that in order to make up that total, the GOV
ernor has included identical appropriations WHICH
he vetoed after the regular and special sessions
thus gaining double credit" He Will find that
the Governor included sums which be vetoed once
and later approved-surely not a saving. He VIII
find that the Governor included very large sums
which were merely diverted from existing FUNDS
into the general fund for state e1penses-surey
no saving since the money was spent.
If Mr. McAneny, who has long enjoyed reputa
ton as a leader in the fight against Tammany ana
the kind of government which has 1ourshed under
Governor Glynn can reconcile himself to advocat'
ing the latters election, he is entitled to do so
But IL adds nothing to bis reputation to base MS
support ON the ground OF this fake" economy
which any study will promptly demonstrate to be
cake"

Wounds as in the Days of the Musket

Ono great tragedy Of the fighting in France aud
its grimmest satire upon endcsvors to humanze
war IS the nature of the wounds reported. In the
current London Lancet there appears the first
authoritative statement note by DR.. G.. IL.
Makins, consulting surgeon to the British forces.
II was supposed that great forward step hal
been taken when the blunt-nosed lead bullet was
replaced by the modern steel ackeed, pointed rife
ammunition. And. generally speaking, such rife
wounds as are now reported are declared 10 be
relatively small and clean. But the tragedy is that
the vast majority Of wounds are proving TO be
not rifle wounds at all but shrapnel wounds. Ap
parently the great losses in the fighting thus. far
on the side Of the Allies have been due TO artillery
not 10 rifle fire.
The wounds inflicted by shrapnel are exceed
ingy severe. Dr. Makins declares that there is
little difference between them and the wounds
produced by the round ball fred from an old
fashioned musket. The wounds observed IN this
war are exactly like wounds Of the Peuinsular
War or the Crimean. The round balls scattered by
the bursting Of shrapnel produce injuries of the
most severe explosive type" when travelling Ut
high velocity. Lacerations are the rule and infec
ton is very frequent
SO far as cures IN hospital 60 an admirable rec
ord is prophesied But it seems certain that the
OF deaths on the battlefield will be
high. In more respect the phrase humane
