The fisherman came running
around the veranda. He gathered
Mona into strong arms. Are you
hurt, darling?" was his astonishing
question.
And Mona, half fainting with fright,
seemed not to resent the familiarity.
Her golden head dropped on the
shoulder of the fisherman and her
lips murmured negative.

ALCOHOL AND INEFFICIENCY.

That the use of alcoholic beverages
reduces the efficiency of workmen is
proved beyond a doubt by reports
which describe conditions in Russia
following the governments edict pro-
hibiting the sale of vodka, states the
Iron Trade Review. When war broke
out, Russia Immediately stopped the
sale of vodka, evidently preferring to
sacrifice the revenue accruing from
such sale rather than take chances on
any disorder, due to the Incorporate
use of liquor, which might interfere
with the governments preparations
for war. The beneficial results which
have followed upon the enforcement
of this edict were graphically de-
scribed in the meeting of the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers in
New York recently by J. Parke Chan
ming, vice president of the Miami Cop
per Co, who recounted a conversa-
ton he had had with a Russian
banker.
This banker told about the effects
at a coal mine in. which he is inter-
ested. When the troops were mobil-
lied, the management of the mine
found that its working force had been
the face of an unusually large de-
mand for coal In normal times, said
this banker, it was the custom for
the men to work internationally, due
to their indulgence in vodka drinking.
After the war broke out, and the sale
of vodka ceased, the man Immediate
ly began to work more regularly, and
the production of coal per man in
creased CORRESPONDENCE. At the time
the banker left Russia a few weeks
ago, the mana cement of the mine had
increased its operating force to SO per
cent of normal. BY that time, the
production of coal, by half the usual
number of men, had increased to $50
per cent of normal; thus each man
was producing $50 per cent of the,
former average. Incidentally, it was
noticed the men were wearing bet
ter clothes in their off-hours, and sew
eral of the men who were between the
ages of 40 and so were beginning to
learn to read.
Russia is indeed giving to the world
a wonderful object lesson in temper

PREPAREDNESS AND PEACE.

Neither preparedness nor unpre-
paredness is an insurance for peace"
declares the New Republic, and it
continues: The making of peace de-
ponds upon a civilized and wise for
eign policy. A few submarines more
or less, an army of $4,000 or 10000,
the manning of coast artillery, the
buying of machine guns, are utterly
trivial points for discussion in the
question of peace. They are so much
tinkering with superficial effects, and
they are profoundly irrelevant to the
cause. But concentration upon them,
resistance to every technical military
Improvement, has the result of keep
ing many people in constant panic.
which is far more dangerous than
military preparation. It produces
movements like the American Legion,
semi-official military organizations
which are not under the direct con-
troll of the elected government To
forestall such agitation, to avoid the
consequences of a reckless plunge into
war, prudent pacifist is compelled
to urge congress to increase the eff
cheney of the army and the navy. In
our opinion at least, the most danger
Gus possibility before US is preSiden-
tial campaign fought on the question
of national defense. 1t is horrible to
contemplate the jingoism which that
would generate. But the only way to
prevent such a political misfortune is
by an uneXcited technical discussion.
and a moderate Improvement of mill
tary equipment.
