BACK HOME IN RUSSIA.

So little has come out of the inter
ior of great Russia since the begin
ming of the war--so little from so vast
territory and so many millions of
people-as to the effect of the strife
on the social life of the enormous
population, that one reads with inter
est translation Of an article on this
subject by Prof Kusmin Karavajew in
the Petrograd Wesnik Europa.
How long will the war last is, he
says the most important question dis
cussed by the newspapers and by all
classes of society. The war has laid
so light n hand that it has scarcely
been felt by the millions of peasants
in the country east of Moscow and
the river Dnieper These are the
backbone of the Russian population.
and their villages have contributed
millions of men to the armies of the
Czar-young men, householders and
heads of families. Many have perish
ed in battle, leaving orphans and wild
ows, but withal there has been fair
measure of prosperity. while the &C.
onomic and social structure of the
Russian village has underfone no ad-
verse change.
On the contrary, indeed, it may be
said that. despite the war. the con-
dition OF the people is really better
than ever before because of the Cars
prohibition of the use of vodka. The
peasants dress better and are building
better dwellings, Their power of
vodka consumption appears to have
been so great that, now they cannot
get it. their savings are surprisingly
large
Because of prohibitive tariff sug
ar and kerosene oil are practically inn
possible to get There is no report of
want of food anywhere among the
people. The fields were cultivated as
usual this year and the crops regular
ly cut. Moreover, the government
pays a stipend to the widows and
children OF all soldiers. The drafts
to the regular army We're made large
ly from workingmen who under any
condition. would hardly have remain
ed at their homes - known as the
movable industrial population.
Such pressure as Russia has been
subjected to by the war has been felt
indeed, more in the large cities than
in the country, both in the organiza-
tion of army forces and in the social
effect on the status of the inhabitants.
While the nation has been most un-
lucky in military campaigning. and
in loss of materials OF war it has
not sustained any approach 10 a fatal
blow in its agricultural life. witch is
the real basis OF Russian existence.

TINE other day a news item told
OF a case of delirium tremens
In a city lookup, and described
how the physician employed by the
city instructed the police to turn the
hose on the prisoner whenever he
misbehaved. That prisoner, or his
relatives, ought to obtain handsome
damages from the city that perpe-
trates such criminal malpractice.
Delirium tremens, like hystericai
seizures, is a disease deserving care
full treatment and not inhuman
abuse. Indeed 1t is a very fatal
disease under the most skilful treat
ment. A city lookup or Jail cell is
no place for such a man; no matter
what caused his illness, he deserves
humane, intelligent care in an insti-
tuition properly equipped for the
purpose. There are hospitals that
object to the trouble of caring for
such cases. but not public hospitals;
the little, one-horse institution, ca
tering to the easy cases. is usually
averse to receiving a case that de-
mands much nursing.
Patients with delirium treIiens
die of wet brain"-edema or dropsy
of the brain, due to a steadily in
creasing weakness of the heart and
circulation. Obviously police
guard. or cheap, political police
surgeon who consents to assume un-
reasonable responsibilities for tho
sake of his job, cannot recognize the
approach of this serious brain in
volvement--and so many a poor fel-
low succumbs in a cell who might
have been saved and cured of his
craving II he had been given fight
ing chance.
Another danger ever present in
cases of delirium tremens is the de-
velopment of sudden edema of the
lungs, or rapid filling of the air
spaces with fluid, which causes
asphyxiation and death in a few
hours if not detected and treated in
time. And of course pneumonia is
the drinkers fayorite mode Of exit.
In this day of enlightenment q
public official who permits prisoner
to remain in a cell under such cir
cumstances should be made 20 feel

4 Hymn Of Hale

We will never forego our hate;
We have all but single hate.
We love as one, we hate as one,
And we'll hate that dish If we do it
alone-Sauerkraut.
Wienerwurst, leberwurst, lager beer
Many a time have given us cheer;
Not so bad If made just right;
Bad to take going to bed at night:
Better by far to lunch in-"The
Day"
Then there won't be the devil to pay.
But you we hate with a lasting hate;
We will never forego our hate;
Hate Of the stomach and hate Of the
tongue,
Hate Of the senses every one,
Hate Of millions who'ye ehoked it
down;
Hate Of the country and hate Of the
town.
We love a thousand; we hate but
one,
And that Wen hate with hate Of
Hun-Sauerkraut

PRAYING FOR PREPAREDNESS

II is perhaps In keeping with a ma.
tional failing that the problem OF pre-.
paredness should be, by so many,
thought solved by simply inquiring
how much II viii cost and asking
congress to appropriate the money.
The half billion bond issue proposal
originated in that way. Nothing could
be worse for the country than to as
sumo that preparedness is merely a
matter OF appropriations. Once that
idea takes hold and a demand Is made
for a lump bond issue or appropria-
tion there will be an end to proper pre-
paration for national defense. In
stead we shall have an orgie OF ex-
penditure, extravaganza and wasteful-
ness.
This should be plain to every per
son at all observant of public affairs,
national. state or municipal. The
appropriation is made the main thing.
rather than the accomplishment of
the work. The public clamors for
something to be done, and when an
appropriation Is made loses all inter.
est in the doing of II, as il II had al
ready been done with the making of
the appropriation. For years huge
appropriations have been made for
the military and naval establishments.
The country, thinking it was being
put in a state OF preparedness for ma
tional defense, cheerfully approved.
But these big appropriations, 1t is now
found, have by no means provided
preparedness. Millions have been
sidetracked by politicians in congress
for political army posts and political
navy yards which are worse than
worthless from any standpoint of pre-
paredness for national defense. That
sort of thing must be ended as one
of the first steps towards real pre-
paredness. Political manipulation of
The funds for national defense must
cease.
With the reassembling of congress
there will be multitude of plans and
suggestions, most of them absurd,
many impractical The appropria-
lions will loom largest in the average
congressional eye. But let us not put
the cart before the horse. First of all
find out what preparedness we need,
then how much Il viii cost, and only
after that make the appropriation act
ually required. There is no assurance
about a gigantic appropriation, except
that ii will be spent.

Current Poetry
Geese

When folk do silly. foolish things,
Then people laugh and cry:
why, they are geese!" and yet, you
know,
/ often wonder why.
For geese are stately, queenly birds,
Too grave to fly or sing;
And | have never seen a goose
That did foolish thing.
An ostrich has been famed in Jokes.
Because he hides his head;
And chickens run across the road.
Meath cars that leave them dead
But geese-they walk with solema
grace;
They seldom shrek or call;
Perhaps you'd like, for all folk saw.
10 be one after all!
