er in chief Of the armies. insisted upon
it. He said mobilization would be i'm.
possible without it. 1t was bold step
to take. as the manufacture of vodka
the favorite Russian spirituous tipple
was the principal source of revenue
to the government, and this was in
dire need OF increasing rather than of
decreasing the revenue at that moment
But the effects have been so amazingly
beneficial that it is doubtful If the
general sale Of vodka will ever be re.
Sumed, even after the war.
In England an act Of parliament will

interests are so vast and so powerful
that the passage Of such an act will

other way. and Lord Kitchener is just
the lnan to adopt it if he can have his
will hy no other means. This is to
declare martial law and order all the
bars. brewerieS. distilleries and wine
shops 70 be closed.
rhr reason for this seemingly ex-
tla"rlinary measure in Great Britain
is the difficulty the military and naval
authorities have had in getting an ade-
Qnnl" supply Of munitions of war from
i've Factories and dockyards. There

Of the SIlil,yards The original sug-
%eStinn that the trouble was due to
drink Is said to have come from the
owners Of the SlIpyards,
However this may be. the fact re-
mains that Great Britain is fairly
hard drinking country. According to
Sir Thomas Dewar, 100000 persons
earn their living by making and selling
liquor In the year 1918 the people Of
the United Kingdom spent 1888. 4O5 900
or more than SIG head for every
man. woman and child-on liquor. This
Is approximately the amount per capt.
ia spent in the United States. The
hardest drinking parts of England are
the northern and western counties
the great mining and manufacturing
regions. The effect of drink upon so
ciety may be judged from the fact that
in the years 1925. out Of every 1000
inhabitants 6.51 were actually arrested
for drunkenness, and in the years since
1899 there has been an average Of 1871
deaths year from alcoholism, Of which
60 per cent were men and 40 per cent
were women.
The ratio of mortality from alcoholic
excess has increased 81 per cent among
males during the last twenty years and
among females it has increased by nc
less than $50 per cent.

ELITE THEATER"
LOSES DAMAGE SUIT

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 3O.-The
namo The Elite Theater" company
was fictitious so far as maintaining a
suit for damages, or in seeking action
In court, is held in an opinion writ
ten by Commissioner Galbraith and
rendered in the supreme court today.
The case was that of G.. Z. Watkins
We. A. o. Farquharson from the Logan
county district court. Watkins in
1910 was running a picture show in
Guthrie and sought to exhibit the pie
tures Of the JCffries-J ohnson fight.
Farquharson was one of the city Of
ncials and prohibited the showing of
the pictures. Watkins claimed he had
been damaged and brought suit. The
defendant filed a motion to dismiss
the suit which was overruled, and
judgment rendered. The high court
holds that bringing the suit in the
name Of The Elite Theater" does not
comply with the statute. The iudg
ment of the lower court Is reversed.

"Princess' ex-Jockey McDowelIs famous mathematical dog, which is listed among the entertainers at Keeneys this week, has the distinc- tion of being the only canine ever kidnapped and ranSOmed. The clever little figure wizard was taken from it's owner a few years ago, the thieves subsequently, sending him letters in which they demanded $500 for the re- turn of his pet. Detectives were put on the trail of the thieves but they were baffled at every turn, the dog napers finally advising Mcdowell that they were aware of the fact that sleuths were after them and that they would kill the dog unless the money was paid. In desperation, the little jockey sent his wife to a freight yard, where she paid over the ransom to one of the thieves. The dog was re- turned to the home Of it's owner the following day.
 "Princess'' has been McDowell's meal ticket since ne quit the turf. She is an exceptionally clever dog and is of strong mathematical bent. She adds, divides and subtracts and does a number of other stunts with out any assistance from her owner.

WHIST PLAYERS MAY SEE WIDOW BY PROXY"

AS enacted by the Lyceum players The Widow By Proxy" which is be- ing so popularly received by the patrons of the Lyceum this week. is by far the most entertaining play of the long list of attractions offered this season. ''The Widow By Proxy is a story of happy-go-lucky and very modern people and is acted with the cleverness and sparkle that produces most effectively the subtle humor with which it abounds. It is one of those fascinating comedies, so rich in dis tinctiVe originality that it is enter taining every time it is seen. The fact that some of the first nighters were so pleased with Monday nights performance and have set aside res crvations to witness a second produc tion emphasizes the fact that it is having an unusually clever presenta- ton at the hands of the players. Miss Galloway, Miss Bolton and Mrs. Hib- bard give delightful conception of the characters they assume and the high standard of the company as at pres ent composed is further indicated. The most critical of the regular thea tergoers are loud in their praise of x and those who travel about and have witnessed productions of other stock organizations are surprised to find company of such talent actors as has been assembled here. There will be a matinee performance Thursday af- ternoon.
 A considerable interest is being manifested in the generous offer made by the management of a first prize of four box seats to whist clubs, the seats to be given the winners in the card parties. Already clubs have filed the names of their organizations and the name of the chairman or sec retary at the box office. When the clubs play they will notify the man. aeement of the name of the winner, who will select the evening when the box will be wanted.
