the police court this morning the men
pleaded guilty and were given sus-
pended sentences, punishment to be
given them at Schofield Barracks.
Because of the claim of the soldiers
that they were Disseminated against

PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.


State Senator Peterson OF Mime
sofa. speaking Of the men thrown out
of employment in Moorhead by the
closing of its saloons, says:
"The election put out of the liquor
trade probably three hundred men. in
cluding the employers. Those who
were welded to the business OF course
had to seek employment elsewhere,
but many Of them elected to stay and
go into other lines of work. And for
such there has been abundance OF
work at good wage. There has been
no man in Moorhead able and willing
to work who could not get employ
ment.
"The banks have not suffered. The
savings accounts have increased in
number and amount and one OF the
banks is increasing its capital from

WAR TEACHES LESSON.

The signal service the present
European conflict has rendered
against alcohol will be named in fu.
ture years as q major compensation
for its awful carnage. The war has
not taught US that alcohol is a curse.
and that traffic in II is q treason.
This knowledge the world already pos
sessed. although It had only begun to
take action. The war has taught us
how to deal with alcohol, how to solve
the alcohol problem. how TO arrive at
the final prohibition that is our GOAL

DECREASE IN CRIME.


Five months under prohibition law
have now elapsed and the results are
beginning to be very apparent" says
the deputy sheriff OF Jefferson coun-
ty, Alabama. "The decrease in crime
in Jefferson county is clearly indicat-
ed by the Jail records, which show a
total number of state prisoners now
in Jail OF 160, against 336 December
l, 1914. one year ago today. and this
in the face of the fact that no straw
bonds are being taken, and that ev-
cry care is taken to ascertain the abb
solute suficiency Of every bond ap-
proved"
The state pays thirty cents day
for feeding each prisoner in the JEFF
ferson county JAIL therefore this de-
crease of 176 inmates means a saving
of $3.50 per day, of 1854 per month,
and of s19.OOS per year.

FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.

FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.
From an economic viewpoint the
drunkard is nonexistent. What big
business" is fighting today is mod
crate drinklng"-the ounce-and.a-half-
a-day kind of thing. With the excep-
tion Of those connected with the trade
in alcoholic drinks-and their hangers
on-the entire world of business and
industry is lined up against alcohol,
and the battle (since drunkenness is
self-confessed defeat) is being waged
against moderate drinking. II is with
the man who can drink and be sober,
thank heaven!" that industry is pick
ing quarrel. The physiologist has
shown that he is morally detective
poisoned atop; the medicoactuarial
man has shown that he is physically
depleted, warped, defective and throws
away from ten to thirteen years OF
his imperfect life; and big business"
has learned that economically he Is
so bad an investment that only In
rare cases is it worth while to bother
with tinkering and repairing him.

Sounds Of pesoIatinn.

You proceed a little farther in Ar
ras to a large circular place, once Inn
posing. Every house in 1t presents
the same blighted aspect. There is no
urban stir! but in the brief intervals
of the deafening cannonade can be
heard one sound-blinds and curtains
futtering against empty window
frames, and perhaps the idle, faint
banging of loose shutter. Not even
a cat walks. We are alone-we and
the small group of staff officers who
are acting as our hosts. We feel like
thieves-like decorators, impiously
Continually came the hollow sound
Of things falling and slipping within
the smashed interiors behind the IA
cades. And then came the sound of a
baby crying-for this city Is not, after
all, uninhabited. We saw a woman
coming out Of her house and carefully
locking the door behind her. Was she
locking it against shells or against
burglars Arnold Bennett in Satur-
day Evening Post.

adjacent plain, with no continuous cur
rent toward the sea except in seasons
of high water, If such are ever known.
And such beautiful plains! They
were we'll worth fighting for, gently
undulating as they retreat from the
former river courses, and most home
like, cultivable places for peaceful
abode. Little rounded oak trees are
studded about the plain in solitary, in
dependent fashion-oak trees resem.

phery
Behold the ruins at last! A long,
low ridge, some four or FIVE miles in
length, ends abruptly like a promon-
tory projecting into the sea, above
which 1t rises about 30 feet. The
ridge is the so-called Hill of Ilium,"
the sea is the food plain of the Simois
and the Scamander, historically known
as the plain of Troy, and the promon-
tory, with its crown of ruins, is Troy
itself. You walk around the ruins
and make the surprising discovery
that II the walking were good you
could easily do It. in ten minutes
Astonishing! Is this all there was of
Troy, and did this little stronghold
Withstand a nine years siege and still
remain unconquered by force? I'm
possible! The whole hill of Ilium may
have been fortified and to some ex.
tent populated; otherwise how was
the garrison proVisioned? JJnpoetic
details like these never troubled Ho-
mer, so why bother about them?
Within sight, almost, of Tenedos,
the island base of the attacking allied
armies, and within sound and reach
of the big guns, the old ruins are
watching over the present fighting, a
greeting from the days of the first
great western siege to the greatest
siege Of modern times.
