enormous coppers grabbing . cluster OF
little children for kicking a toy football

q prominent residence street at one and

marched to the hoos-gow for their
hefn0us crime, and the perfectly good

simps of themselves in the eyes of the
public or hunting other jobs. They. the

fact that these cop gents might prefer
to grab some of the thieves that have

WORLD "GoING DRY"
Russia's Sudden Complete Abolition Of
Liquor Shops.

George KEENAN, in the Outlook
Not the least wonderful of recent
Russian phenomena Is the sudden ana
complete abolition Of drunkenness. For
the first time in the history OF man
kind one-seventh part of the habitable
globe has gone dry" and 10 million
people have stopped drinking intoxi-
eating liquor.
In the excitement Of the moment
and the press of war news, this ex-
traordinary fact has attracted little at
tention or has been overlooked alto
gether: but to me it seems far more
''wonderfur' than the rapid and VIC
torious advance of the Russian armies
For many weeks the sale of vodka
in Russia has been completely sus-
pended, and the whole population has
looked at the European situation
through absolutely sober eyes. The
closing OF hundreds Of Thousands Of
liquor shops was at first merely tenn
porary war measure The govern
ment, through its monopoly of the
drink traffic, controlled the whole
vast machinery Of production and dis
tribution. and was able to put q stoI
to 1t in "a hours.
The order to close the liquor shops
throughout the empire was welcomed

eminent would hardly have dared to
