ton, was one Of the unexcepted results
of the war. An imperial ukase closed
the wineshops throughout the empire
during the first week of mobilization.
1t had been tradition in Russia that
the assembling of the army was accom-
panied by disorders and riots, largely,
if not wholly, due % alcoholism. The
sale of liquor in Russia, it will be re-
membered, is state monopoly which
has for more than a decade yielded the
treasury annually hundreds of millions
of dollars. AS soon as the war broke
out the government issued second or
der absolutely forbidding the sale,
transportation, or consumption of any
| liquors during the period Of the war.
Immediately-we learn from the
Russian press drunkenness, with its
accompanying evils of hooliganism and
crime, was reduced to striking degree.
Even the reactionary Minister of the
Interior, Maklakov. who, not long ago,
gave it as his opinion that vodka was
necessity to the masses, is now adj
hitting that it is a source Of crime and
disorder. Seeing the beneficial effects
of prohibition many individuals, soci-
cites and even some whole commun-
tiles began to petition the authorities
not to reopen the wineshops. The
third government measure, which took
effect on November l6, extends the
prohibition to every form of alcoholic
drink in all portions Of the empire I'M
der martial law until the end of the
war. The Russian press is unanimous
in praising the measure as likely to
lead to "the moral and material re-
generation of the country, no matter
what may be the outcome of the war. :"

REPORT OF SOUTH AMERICAN
PROTEST VIGOROUSLY DENIED

Intimations that the governments of
Argentina, Brazil. and Chile had let II
be known to President Wilson that
they did not look with favor on laws
exempting American vessels from pay
ment OF Panama Canal tolls were Wig
orously repudiated yesterday in sources
possessed of authoritative knowledge
as to the attitude of those govern
ments.
1t was made indisputably clear that
the governments concerned have never,
either officially or unoficislly. made
any representations, formal or informal,
on the subject; nor have they even
intimated any opinion regarding canal
tolls. The reports published yesterday
caused much indignation in certain
quarters among the Latin American
diplomatic corps, as 1t was feared the
inference would be drawn that the
countries named had been endeavoring
to make suggestions regarding policy
of the United States with which they
have no concern.
1t was emphatically stated that the
South American governments have no
interest whatsoever in the question Of
canal tolls. as they are not In the
least affected by II.
Intimations that the three countries
named also were acting as a unit in
the matter of canal tolls likewise were
repudiated in well-lnformed quarters
The statement was made that the So
called "A. b. C. Alliance" (Argentina,
Brazil, and Chile) is taken much more
seriously in the United States than in
South America, where the jealousies
and rivalries Of these three countries
are we'll understood.

ago when reprimanded publicly for whis-
pering by the pastor. last night lowered
their flag Of beIliserency. called a truce
with Rev. Edward Gallagher. the pastor.
and returned to their duties at the regu-
lar Thursday night choir practice.
That Rev. Mr.. Gallagher's letter of
apology to Miss Mary Brewer, organist
and choir leader. who called the strike.
expressing his regret 10 all members OF
the choir for the reprimand. which nearly
disrupted the church. caused the break
ing OF the strike. was stated.
Efforts to locate Mr.. Gallager to verify
the statements were unsuccessful. and
neither Miss Brewer no- choir members
were communicative. In fact. all church
members refused to talk, beyond saying:
"An unfortunate affair has been happily
terminated. and why's and wherefores are
unessential."
Nearly every member of the choir was
present last night when Miss Brewer
took her seat at the organ and struck
the opening chords of a hymn to be sung
Easter morning. The singers were in
happy mood. and the rehearsal was
called most successful.
1t Is believed that every seat in the
choir gallery will be filed Sunday morn
ing when the choir will make its first
public appearance In a body since the

With
QuizzerS

Now that you've been engaged al
most a week on the Ben Franklin
Quiz. you have had good opportunity
to study Franklin's sayings at close
range.
Don't they appeal to you as edu-
eating and helpful?
We've heard many express them
selves as delighted with this phase of
| the Ben Franklin Quiz. 1t makes II
so much more interesting and worth
while. they say.
No other author had, so keenly de-
veloped. the faculty of expressing
himself epigrammatically. In one
brief sentence Franklin drives home a
thought with greater power and ef-
feet than others who have written
books upon the subject. His language
is simplicity itself and his oft-em-
ployed figures of speech heighten the
color of his style.
Franklin is very outspoken and does
not strive for the most gentle way of
stating disagreeable things. Incl
dentally. he has a fine play of wit that
tickles the appreciation OF every one
which reminds US of a gentleman who
was in Tne Herald's office yesterday.
He had not been following the Quiz
thus far. The conversation tlrned in
that direction, and come one happened
to quote the saying:
Fish and visitors stink Ia three
days" 1t struck him so witty, and so
true that he fairly bubbled over with
delight. And. OF course. he's an ear
nest Quizzer. now
Franklin's sayings are widely diver
sified in subject matter. He goes the
whcle range from domestic felicity to
, business success, from health to the
philosophy of happy living.
I You've seen Just a few OF his hun
dreds of sayings. There are many
gems as sparkling as those you now
know. A closer acquaintance with
them will be entirely to your liking.
! we are sure.
What success have you had this far
with the photographs?
Don't they become easier every day?
Practice sharpens the wit you know.
The photographs to follow should come
fairly easy to you, and II you only
keep steadily at Il. you'll have the first
award won before you're aware of IT.
