PROHIBITION
 IN RUSSIA

The prohibition of alcohol in Rus sia, adopted as war measure, is like ly to continue after the war, accord ing to reports from Petrograd. Be- fore the war vodka was almost univer- sally used by the Russian masses. Many women. and even children of tender years, consumed the fiery li- quor, while the men used it in uuan- titles almost unbelievable. In the higher circles of Russian society champagne was the fashionable bev- craze, but even the nobles and men of wealth privately confessed a pre- ference for Russia's national tipple. Naturally there was a great deal of suffering among the chronic topers when the supply was suddenly cut off, but comparatively few deaths from this cause were reported, and now. after two years of war, the Russian has discovered that he can get along very nicely indeed without alcohol. The peasants as whole are now more prosperous than they were before the war, and this is attributed to the sav- ing of the laree sums formerly spent for vodka. Crime has decreased amaz- tngly, and while this may be due in

Accounting the story of the taking of Gorizia by the Italians, the corre- spondents pay high praise to the work of the Italian artillery. One account reads:
 "On Aug. the artillery sounded the enemy's whole front with the ob- ject of distracting his attention and fixing the ranges accurately On the morning of Aug. 6 our batteries open ed fire simultaneously on the rocky barrier which from Sabotino to Ca- varto defends the Isonzo and Gorizia to the west and against Monte San Michele, which forms the northern edge of the Gorizian Carso. The at- tillery action of the day, long and carefully worked out, represented a perfect example of concentrated fire against fortified lines" Picture shows Italians bringing up artillery to the firing line.

BosrBARDMENT OF ALG1ERs

On Wednesday the Prometheus.
 Captain Dashwood. arrived at Ports
 mouth. England. from Algiers. She !, stayed at -Aigiers IT days after Lord
 Falmouth had sailed. The officers frequently went on shore, and were not interrupted in gratifying a natural curiosity as the extent of the injury done to the Notifications, the arsenal and city.
 Tho city appears to have suffered much beyond any description that has yet been given. There are but few houses which do not present some ef- feet of the bcm5ardment. All the Consuls houses were unfit to occupy. Five shells, one 16-inch and one 10- inch fell into the Dey's palace, but fortunately did not explode or they would have shattered the princely edifice to it's foundations. The Dey keeps these gratifying mementos of the bombardment piled up in his pal ace, and he had given rewards to all would employ themselves in picking up the shot that fell into the city. His
 Highness, knowing that the Janissa-
 ries would, as soon as the battle was
 ended, call for some reward for their
 services, and anticipating that com
 motion must be the consequence and
 he himself become sacrifice to their
 inordinate demands. shipped his fam
 fly (consisting of his mother, brother,
 and two nephews) and a considerable
 sum of money in a Sardinian schooner for Constantinople, and it proved the moment Lord Exmouth had withdrawn from the bay with his fleet, the Janissaries did demand that 1.-the city should be given up to pillage, lupon the plea that the Moors had not |fheartily assisted in the defense and
 that the Jews were no better than
 spies in the country.

FEWER REPEATERs.
!, Convict Labor on West Virginia Roads Shows Very Good Results to
 State and Prisoners.

M Forty-eight counties in West Vtr- 1 ~fnia employed convicts in building and repairing roaos during the year ending June. 1915. The Hon. A. D. iwilliams, director of the state high iway department of West Virginia, has forwarded to the national committee ion prisons pictures which show the I remarkable accomplishment of these icounty prisoners. An honor prisoner lis shown in one pictutre standing be-
 side wall that he erected in Kama Iwha county at a cost of only $l.15 per cubic yard.
 lcamp half a mile below Kimba1l, with la portable jail in the center and a Iprisoner driving; also prisoners open ling up a new quarry and stretch of
 country road two miles above Welch lalong the Tug river which the prison !ers cut through a solid cliff.
 i The national committee on prisons lhas published some of the West Vir- jginia road pictures in an illustrated lpamphlet just issued. The pamphlet takes up the various phases of prison work which the committee is carrying ion. The West Virginia road work is the result of legislation prepared by lthe national committee on prisons and lis successful because of the co-ordina- |tion of the state highway and prisen departments, which the committee
 holds essential to the right develop lments of convict road work. County Engineer W. G. MacLaren of Mcdowell county states that "out of Ithe large number of prisoners in Mo- iDowell county who have been work ing upon the country roads only a Ismail number have ever been in jail la second term. Prior to working on lIthe roads we had number of repeat ,ers."
 When the idleness in most county I5ails is considered the importance of the West Virginia road work is real l1zed, while the fact that the road making convicts are under state con- ltrol is a step towards bringing the
 county Jails themselves under the control of the state prison authori-
 ties.

GENEROUS DINER
 WHO GAVE WINE
 AWAY ARRESTED
Prominent Builder Comes Within Provisions of Law,
 Prosecutor Asserts.
Special to The Farmer.)


 West Haven. Aug. 14-Louis H. Co., cozza, a carpenter and builder of Bridgeport, was placed under arrest in Bridgeport last week for the illegal gift of liquor at Savin Rock on Sum day, in a place reputed to sell spir- ituous liquors. He was released under bonds of $100 to answer in the Orange town court.
 Behind the arrest of Cocozza, who maintains an extensive building bus mess on Barnum avenue, this city, re- siding at 84 Charron street, lies an 1n- teresting story as well as a technical point of law that has not recently been invoked.
 According to his relation of the in cidents when recently appearing as a witness in an allied case, MT. and Mrs. Cocozza and MT. and Mrs. Peter Aldo, wealthy farmers living on Mad ison road, motored to Savin Rock for the evening. As customary they took several bottles of wine with them from MT. Cocozza's cellar.
 Arriving at a small Italian res- taurant in Savin Rock they ordered their meal and Ar. Cocozza went to hi sautomobile where he got a bottle of wine. In the restaurant were two men, talking loudly. Another couple was in the restaurant.
 The other couple ordered a bottle of wine from the proprietor who refused them. Cocozza in goodness of heart offered them a bottle of his own which was accepted.
 Subsequently the couple who had accepted Cocozza's generosity had the loud-talking men elected, who in turn notified the West Haven police that liquor was being sold. In conse- quence the restaurant proprietress was arrested.
 In her trial which resulted in a fine Cocozza testified that he had given the wine away. This acknowledge- ment brought about Cocozza's arrest yesterday upon the statute which pro- hibits the sale or gift of liquor in place where liquor is sold or reputed to be sold.
 Officers here say this is the first arrest of the kind for. the gift of li quor coming to their attention in this state recently. ~~-~ '-- ----f ~-.-

part to the fact that so many of the criminals are now fighting for their country, the Russian authorities seem to give prohibition the lions share of the credit. The decrease in court prosecutions for crime is general all over Russia, ranging from 25 to more than 100 per cent. It is also remark ed that the number of fires, formerly so frequent in Russian villages, show a great decrease. One of the marked and visible results of prohibition is that the peasants are now much bet ter dressed than ever before.

Edward Caldwell distinguished him. self by an. act of heroism yesterday afternoon at Pleasure Beach during the picnic of the Sacred Heart church at which hundreds of men, women and children were in attendance. Just about dusk one of the women bathers ventured out beyono her depth and was carried along with the strong current. Fortunately, Caldwell saw the danger that the woman was in and at once struck out to her assistance. He got to her just in time and brought her safely to shallow water. Without waiting for thanks and praises for his heroic act, he turned her over to her friends and cooly turned about and resumed his swim. Her name could not be learned.
