PETRoGRAD IN WAR TIME

, Petrograd-A crowd gathered on one
of the main streets of Petrograd this
2 afternoon. l thought they were gazing
at wounded soldier or a German pris-
oner, and went over to see. They were
simply gazing curiously at staggering
drunken man. A little over a month
ago drunken men were reeling at every
corner of the city and no one noticed
them. They seemed to be an inalien-
able feature Of the Russian landscape.
Russian life was almost unthinkable
without alcoholic excesses.
There are distinctiyely Russian
smells-the smell of incense on rail
way stations the smell of top boots, of
cheap tobacco-that always suggest
the crowd. the crowd suggests vodka
and vodka again that irresistible,
helpless, slatternly poverty that marks
the outskirts of the city.
But there is no vodka now. There
must be millions OF gallons of it some
where but it is all bolted and barred
and none Of # gets onto the streets.
A drunken man is now as great a rar-
ity here as a Hindu faSir.
It requires a heroic effort for the
ordinary man to get drunk lie must
drink methylated spirit at the risk Of
his life. or make an ingenious decoc- /
ton Of cough drops at the cost Of in .
finite patience. And it is only the des-
perate characters who do either one or
the other Drinking has stopped.
Crime has stopped and the police have
hardly anything TO do hut mark pass
ports. collect taxes. manage traffic in
the streets and gather up and deport
the German and Austrian remnant
Beer and wine and certain liquors
are sold fin first class restaurants until J
u o'clock In the evening. But there IS
no heart in the drinking there. The

land after all there is no real lack
of provisions. Clothing is cheap. and
after all it is only on luxuries that
the price has appreciably risen.
Banks are gradually finding out
ways of doing business under the
stress of war; and now that the rail
ways are again working almost nor
lmally trade is recovering. Russia is
so big that there can be no fear Of
lack of provisions.
There is a surplus of eggs and but

ling after new routes abroad. There
| is no panic there has been no panic.
There is no lack of employment and
the workmen who are left behind are
working with twofold effectiveness
because their energies are not de-
pleted by vodka.
Petrograd lives without noise or
clamor. But it lives in one thought
the thought of war
Today saw two boys playing in
the street. you be a German gen.
eral and I'll shoot you" said the big
ger one In every house the talk is
of the fighting of Ivan who has gone
to Prussia, of Sergei who is leveling
artillery against the Austrians of the
big guns of the Germans, of the sor-
rows of brave little Belgium. of the
inyincible English fleet. of friends
and relatives who have disappeared
under the war-cloud in Germany or
Austria.
There is steady undercurrent of
rumor, some of which is crude and
fantistic, while the talk of the COM
mon people somehow keeps very
closely to the right mood of the sit
|uation, to the varying fortunes Of the
war, even though the facts are wrong.
The striking thing is the unanimous
desire for victory. l was here during
the Japanese war, but the temper
then was wholly different.
Nobility of Spirit.
Then the Radicals and Socialists
|openly declared that they wished
Russia would be soundly beaten. Now
the hatred of tyranny is turned
against Germany. Radicals and So
cialists, Jews and Little Russians,
Georgians and Armenians are deter
mined that at any cost Russia must
win.
l have heard of few incurable
croakers who profess to desire de-
feat who can only see salvation in
collapse and ruin. but I have seen
none of them and. in any case, they
exert 10 influence whatever
All the healthiest instincts of the
nation are uppermost. 1t is clear
now that during the last ten years of
conflict and suffering the Russians
have made long strides in their men
tai growth; in the suddenly aroused
determination of a people newly en-
lightened to hold fast to the essen
tials of its nationhood, to the broad
values that have been won by long
centuries of struggle on the eastern
plain there is something epoch maxi
ng.
And so there is a nobility in Rus
iia now that keeps trivial mood at

About 125 workers in the mill lost

To understand the lighting which
marks the beginning Of the great
Franco German conflict it is neces-
sary to grasp clearly just one simple
geographical fact From the Rhine,
which sis the base of German oper-
atoms, three routes lead west and
south into France. The first starts
al Cologne, crosses the Belgian from
tier just beyond AX-la-Chapelle,
reaches the Meuse at Biege and
ascends the Meuse to enter France
between the headwaters of the Disc
snd the Sambre. This is the route
followed by the main railroad be-
tween Paris and Berlin. It was en-
plOyed by the allies IN the second
campaign in the French revolution.
The invaders we're defeated by the
French army celebrated in song and
story as the Army of the "Sambre ct

Fleurus. The second natural ave-

BY ]. W. 7. MASON.
Former European Manager of the United

NEW YORK, Aug. s, I'll a. m. THE
sensational possibility that Germany
has begun an attempt to enticc Finland
into revolt against Russia, is con-
taincd in the report from Copenhagen
that 10000 German troops have landed
lat Ekenas, in Southern Finland.
II the report is true, it marks as des
perate a resolve on the part of the Kai
ser as was the daring gallop of the Uh-
lans into Liege to try to capture the
Belgian commander. Forty thousand
German soldiers in Finland means "a
transport journey of 400 miles across the
Baltic Sea with constant danger that
British or Russian naval activity will
cut the sea line of communication and
isolate the invaders.
The risk would be too great, and the
force itself too small, if the German
general staff contemplated attacking st.
Petersburg through Finland But if the
Kaiser has reason to believe the Finns
will help him against their Russian OPP
