south of the Belgian border is said to
have resulted in further advance.

nounces the capture of several German
trenches near Souchez.

announcement states that the German
ground recently won north of Arras
has been maintained.
At Petrograd it is said the German
movement in Galicia has been checked
permanently. The Russians have fallen
back on strong positions along the river
San which runs through Central Cali

me.

Amid all the welter of talk about the new year the pretty pretty sentimentality, the pom derous preaching about good res olutions and swearing off one great fact remains. That is Time. Time passed, Artemus Ward once wrote; it's a sort of way Time has. Here is one thing which no cynic has ever been able to deride successfully. Ideals, innocence, love, even death, have been targets. but no sheer has ever touched Time. On and on stalk the years the most ineXorable of marches. Time treats all alike pugilist and debutante, king and gutter snipe. It plays no favorites. With each revolution the creep ing minute hand puts one more hour behind. Perhaps it is well that no normal mind dwells on all this. It is better to realize that the marching morrows have their glorious and inspiring side. What is past is past, beyond our attenuation; but the future is always just ahead, and it is ours.

How Vodka Was Exiled.

Michael Dimitrovitch Tcheli- shelf, born a Russian peasant, house painter by trade, self-edu- cated and self-made millionaire and a reformer because he cares about people. As a workman he saw his fellows come sodden and sick to their jobs on Monday morning, aching, quarrelsome, and bound to cause accidents. As a rising property owner he had a tenant who murdered his family in drunken frenzy. Tchelisheff made up his mind to fight this evil thing that was eat ing the life out of Russia. One man against a monopoly that profited the Government over $50, 900, 900 per year, a monop- oly that gave the Russian autoc- racy an easier job in governing. Could any crusade be more hope less? What was he to do against this devils league of absolut- ism and alcohol? But Tcheli- shelf was no quitter AS village councillor, mayor of the city, member of the Duma, in audi ence with the Czar in and out of season he fought the curse of vodka. The necessities of the great war made them listen to his argument, the CZar signed. and the the thing was done No more vodka in all Russia, Once again we have the old les son made plain. that one strong soul outweighs the world, that no task is too great for those who take it up in righteousness and faith.
