MANCHESTER, Dec. 30.-Writing of
the popularity of the teetotal move
ment in Russia, an Englishman in
Moscow says in a letter to a Manches-
ter firm which he represents there:
Eat the present moment, it is impos-
sible for anybody in Russia, whether
rich or poor, to obtain in any place
whatever anything in the form of alco-
hol, unless at druggists with doc
tors prescription. All the government
vodka shops have been colsed since the
beginning Of the war, and now all
manner of wine shops are closed.
Even restaurants and hotels are for
hidden to sell alcoholic drinks.

that nobody is grumbling and every

though it be conflicting with their
"deadliest enemy" the rat.
They had no magic flute such as had
the notorious pied Poper of Hame-

thing even more effective and certainly
much more commendable-they had
nerve Today, as result, the college
building and homes of Graysville are
minus many rats.
Having exterminated all the rats, yet
still having an insufficient amount in
the treasury, it became necessary to
devise other means to obtain money.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-There are now
over 10000 old Boy Scouts serving
the army at the front and making
splendid soldiers, says General Baden
Powell, chief of the organization.
The general has just returned from
York, where he made satisfactory
arrangement with the education au-
thorities in regard to the scouts serv-
ing as messengers and Office boys in
tne military headquarters there. BY
this happy arrangement, the boys give
one week to the army and an alternate
week to their schools.
A significant announcement is the
opening of the Scouts Defense Force
to boys of Is, which would give them
year of training. it is said, in case
the age of enlistment in the army is
lowered to fifteen years.

BLUE CROSS WILL
ESTABLISH MANY
VETERINARY HOSPITALS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec 30-The Blue Cross
Fund is not only trying to alleviate
the sufferings of wounded horses but
also to lessen the wastage of horse
flesh in war. In view of the fact that
the four months fighting has drained
Europe of its supply of horses, the al
lied army looks to the Blue Cross to
save animals for further service.
There have been established in
France, largely through the co-opera-
ton of the French government, veter-
mary hospitals, which are now caring
for some 1000 animals. Three of these
farm hospitals are in Normandy and
others at Gisors, Fontainebleu, Prov
ence and Troyes. Seven camp hospi-
tails are also established at the front,
which look after animals suffering
from overwork, exposure and sickness
as well as from wounds. Prompt
treatment has materially reduced the
death rate.
The Blue Cross Fund is an offshoot
of the Dumb Friends League, which
corresponds to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals of the
American cities.
