officers, chaplains, and surgeons. This is the first occasion in which any such general order has ever been issued to the Russian troops. But the
 emperor has been led to issue it by the necessity of adding to the efficiency of his huge army. Field Marshal Lord
 Kitchener demonstrated in his various
 Soudan campaigns, eliminating in the crushing of the Dervish Mahdi at Om-
 durman in 1898, the military advan-
 tages of total abstinence from alcohol
 when on active service, and since then
 there has been a disposition on the
 part of the military authorities in all
 countries to discourage the use of all
 cohol among officers and men, mod
 ern methods of warfare and arms of
 precision demanding an extremely level
 head and steady hand, rather than reckless gallantry, prompted by what
 is popularly known as Dutch cour-
 age"
 What have the defenders of booze to say in answer to this very conclusive
 evidence of the evil of alcoholic drinks? If the soldier must give up alcohol
 because it interferes with his efficien-
 cy, why should not the civilian pro- mote his efficiency by giving it up? And if it is demonstrated that alcohol
 is an evil, and only an evil; if it is proven that it lessens the productive value of the citizen, who will say that the nation should look upon this great
 evil with indifference merely because
 few people want to grow rich out of a drink that is destructive? Why should We condemn opium, morphine
 and cocaine if we are to worship at the shrine of Whiskey and beer?
 Secretary Daniels need not fear that his policy of excluding intoXicants from the navy will be condemned by the American people. In putting a bann upon alcohol drinks in the navy he is showing the same wisdom that char acterizes Emperor William and the
 czar in the efforts they are making in behalf of total abstinance.

ALCOHOL IS DOOMED

A press dispatch from Russia brings the interesting news that the cZar has issued an order driving intoxicating liquor out of the Russian army. The following is the text of the dispatch.
 Emperor Nicholas has just promul- gated a general order dealing with the drink evil in his army. Its provisions are of the most drastic character, and as such will doubtless command them selves to Secretary Josephus Daniels of the United States navy. Vodka is for bidden to the men at all times, and the czar directs that the most stringent measures shall be taken to prevent them from buying it. No soldier, if he IS known to be inclined to drink, is to be allowed to receive money from home, without special permission from his commanding officer.
 "Officers of every rank are forbidden to drink spirits in camp, on maneuvers, or while on any kind of duty, and those in high command are ordered by the emperor to discourage as much as possible the drinking of alcohol, and tb set an example in the matter of total abstinence to their subordinates. All cases of drunkenness, either among of ficers or men, are to be dealt with in the most severe manner possible. Med ical officers of the army are to deliver periodical lectures to officers and men on the harmful effects of alcohol
 Commanders of regiments are in structed to do their best to improve the mess life of the officers under their orders, and to foster the introduction of games, the addition of libraries to the mess quarters. and to arrange for facilities for the study of foreign lang uages. In the same way, the company officers are required to endeavor to improve the lot of the rank and file by devising and organizing games and sports, which will keep them out of doors, wholesomely occupied during their free time. Soldiers known 10 be addicted to drink are to be the subject of special solicitude by the regimental

OVERLAND ROADSTER
 BEATS NATAL MAIL TRAIN

An Overland roadster recently per formed the feat of beating the fast Natal mail train on the long trip from Johannesburg to Durban, ac- cording to dispatches received at the Willys- Overland company from their South African distributors. Despite the hard going encountered through out the run, the car succeeded in bettering the time of the train by eIght hours and thirty minutes on the round trip of $40 miles.
 The trial, which was the first au- thentic run over the long course, ere ated a lasting impression among South African motorists, the major ity of whom declared that it could not be accomplished owing to the terrific road conditions Public mag istrates acted as official timers for the event.
 A large crowd saw the sturdy lit tie Overland and the big mail train leave Johannesburg station at $ o'clock on a Saturday evening. The car reached Durban, the end of the first lap, at 1885 o'clock on the fol- lowing afternoon, five hours ahead of the train, after making stops at all points where the train was sched7 uled to stop to take on mail or change engines. At $50 on the same day the automobile and the train left simultaneously for the re- turn trip. The Overland reached Jo- hannesburg at 3:3O D. m on Mon- day three hours ahead of the train, which made both trips on scheduled time
 The distance is equivalent to trip from New York to Louisville, Ky.
