Operation of the county option law
bids fair to place the entire support
of the Willmar inebriate hospital on
the revenue funds of the state, Since
the end of 1914 the revenues from
the II per cent tax on liquor licenses
have decreased $10,O81 according to
figures prepared by ]. A. A. Preus,

standing $1,000 worth of certificates
of Indebtedness, which were issued in
advance Of the tax collection for 1914.
The collections amounted to $48,593.
The difference probably will need to
be made up by a legislative appropria,
ton.
The figures supplied by Mr.. Preus
show that saloons of Ramsey county
supplied the largest portion of the tax
for 1914. Ramsey paid in $8,49O, Hen,
nepin $8,448 and st. Louis $7,03S. II
the three large counties should go dry
nearly one.half the support for the in.

appropriations and in time if the whole
state were to go dry the entire burden
Of maintaining the hospital would be
placed on the taxpayers at large.

Mayor Mitchell, Rookie"

To Mayor Mitchell, "rookie" in the bust
ness mems military training camp at
Plattsburg, The Tribune presents Its
compliments and best regards. 1t trusts
his hands will not become too bistered In
trench digging TO WELD the pen of author
ity and final disposition in municipal
affairs when he returns, nor his back TOO
strained to bear the weight of reform
administrations cares. But no matter how
many blsters and how much back strain
he accumulates he is playing an enlight-
ened and patriotic part in undergoing this
period of military training at time when
the country's great need is preparedness,
\ OF only in munitions and agencies of war,
but in men.
Probably not one of the young men who
rave enrolled for this education, or OF the
thousands of others who would like to join
them but can't, desires to see this country
at war. Most of them have stake in the
community in the way of property owned,
business built up, professional standing
acquired after arduOus effort, so that war
would hit them hard. They are not the
professional miitarists of the brand with
which Europe is familiar-men who
thrive, in some way direct or obscure,
from the maintenance of huge armies and
the fostering of belligerent spirit. These
are good Americans, who would hate to
fight, but want to fight well and effectively
for all that America holds dear if it ever
becomes necessary.
The example which Mayor Mitchell anc
all his companions at the Plattsburg
camp are giving is a splendid one 1t
should extend to all the land, and in es-
pccial be noted carefully at Washington,
which must be the centre for activity in
national preparedness.

The Return of the Zemstva.
CFrom me Manchester GuardianJ

(Frou The Manchester Gudrddn)
The Zemstva, or Russian county councils,
played a great part in the liberal revival
after the disasters of the Japanese war, and
they are largely responsible for the recent
decision TO convoke the Donna In the early
days of the war central committee Of the
county councils and a central committee of
the town councils were set up to assist the
government in purchases for the army. The
first of these committees, at a special sitting,
passed resolution demanding the summon
ing of the DOuma, so that the whole forces of
the nation should be behind the government
in resisting the invader The committee of
the towns followed suit Then came the con-
ference of the manufacturers to deal with
he question of making munitions. The dra-
matte feature Of this meeting was the speech
OF NJ Risbuschnsky, the Russian textile
king NJ RiabuschinSky, fresh from visit 10
the front, declared that only the cooperation
OF the government with the representatives
OF the people could save the situation, and
under his inspiration the conference passed
resolutions in favor Of convoking the Donna
and appointing a committee of four to help
the War Office in supplying munitions. Two
members were from the Douma and one each
from the manufacturers and the Zemstva.
These urgent demands were underlined at
meeting of the Cadet party, which likewise
urged the abolition of all differental treat
ment of the nationaites. 1t was after these
successive demonstrations backed by the full
force Of public opinion, that the decision was
taken by the Car to summon the Donna
he whole movement is doubly interesting as
slowing how Russa's military misfortunes
are making the struggle in fuller sense a
national one, and confirming the hopes Of
those who have believed that the war would
make for progress in Russia.

"LIEGE 1914-1915"
A German Critic in Defence OF
That "Brainy Man" William II.
70 the Editor OF The Tribune

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Liege 19l4-19l5" pre-
sents a most distorted mass Of lies in man
ner which Is nothing short Of an insult to the
intelligence Of your readers. Your assertion
that Belgian women were raped, mutilated and
dishonored brand as an unqualified lie. II has
been proved that the German General staff has
insured against such wanton conduct with a
death penalty, not so much on account OF their
higher "Kultur," but for purely sanitary rea-
sons. You will reluctantly admit that in THIS
respect the German machine is trifie better
organized than the VIGOROUSLY retreatihg
Russian hosts. who undoubtedly carry on
warfare not only in accordance with lnterna-
tional law but also consistent with the
ideals of that Utopia you advocate so much'
Mr.. Editor The Japs proved that sanitation
and organization win wars. You will again
grant me, reluctantly perhaps, that they
learned this little trick from the Germans
"Our doubts of other times are not fully, but
still sufficiently laid at rest" as to the out
come of the conflict.
Why "read of Louvain as we have read OF

very favorably with the crusade headed by

Louvain? Verify, "there Is God IN lsrael

II does not behoove a sheet like The IT'D

$500 square miles of French territory, with
casualties of 100000, compares most un-

who have not occupied an inch of German

The Russian occupation of Przemysl was
an Allied victory Of no mean importance as
heralded in blazing headlines OF your paper
The retreat to the Aisne is enother one OF
those crushing defeats which must not be
undervalued The German drive from the
Gates of Cracow to the Kovno-Grodno- brest-
Iitowsk line sinks into insignifcance when
compared with those feats. Your strategic

New York's Mosquitoes.

Added to all the other qualifications
" hich make this city so we'll known as
summer resort, it has this year charac-
teristic of most good resorts-a numerous
and lively band Of mosquitoes. New York
sn't proud Of them nor DESTROYS of their
company long. Yet it cannot disown
them, for Health Department officials,
after investigation, have pronounced them
to be of the city's own breeding. This Is
no comfort to the householder who has
been cursng New Jersey as he scratched;
but it at least centres the responsibility
and narrows the field for future effort.
Staten Island, that gigantic breeding
spot of the winged pest, was practically
rid of them by few years scientific war
of determination while DR.. Alvah II. Doty
was Health Officer Of the Port. That was
a far bigger job than Kidding this city
.Cf them Here they breed in vacant lots,
in rain-fled tin cans, in stray pools of
water where the roof drainage is imper-
feet. in uncovered water tanks. Some have
always bred in Central Park, according
to residents of that vicinity, but they
appear to be far more numerous around
there this summer than for many years.
A little attention by the city officials to
the park and care by householders and
property owners to see that their own
premises do not ncubate the insects would
abate the nuisance. Probably the unusual
rains this year have been the cause for
the numbers of the mosquitoes. But if the
rain isn't allowed to stand around in stag
nant puddles there'll be no breeding places
here and no need for scratching and strong
language.

miration for your editorial entitled "Liege

war which is as fine. All those who read it
must have experienced the desire to pre-
serve it.
But if il is taken as an expression OF the
views and principles of The Tribune may
ask how YOU can escape advocating an active
co-operation with those nations who are night
ING for what you so splenddly set forth IN
your article? You say, "all that we love- be
lieye. hope for in spiritual things was placed
in jeopardy year ago" Are we, then, who
boast ourselves a great nation, to strike no
blow for call we love, believe and hope for
Are we to leave it to others to preserve these
things for US? Where is our national honor,
where our manhood? But if an active CO.
operation is too much to expect of US, human
nature being what it is, at least it seems to
me an inconceivable shame and disgrace that
we should seek. for the sake of a petty indi-
vidual financial loss, to hinder those who are
struggling to preserve the principles which
we announce as ours. The Tribune is great
paper, and welds great power Surely 1t
will not advocate a policy which would him
der England in her effort to restore to Bel
GUM her very existence or France, who Is
fighting for national life and liberty. How
can we count our loss, which can be reckoned
in dollars and cents, and which is only tenn
porary in comparison to the great issue, the
very existence of civilization, which is at
stake? A. c. ROBINSON.
