anne Breshkoyskaya, who is called the

has appealed to the delegates now in
conference here, to work for the good
of the army and help them to conquer
the enemy. ".'5
Peter Kwopatkin, one of the dele.
gates, in powerful address, declared
that they must prevent Germany from
winning a victory over democracy.
Delegate Alexieff, speaking before
the national convention today, declar-
ed that while tie army under the old
regime was poorly equipped with inn
plements of war the troops were deep
ly imbued with a warlike spirit, where
as, the new army was well supplied
but had been completely poisoned with
ill-applied doctrines. .'.
The action of the soldiers commit
tee had been fatal to the discipline
of the army and the officers and men,
declared the speaker, were absolutely
irrecOncilable. As an example of the
terrible conditions now found at the
battlefront, he told of one instance
whore twenty-six officers, twenty non
commissioned officers and two priVates'
led an attack on the enemy while the
rest of the soldiers calmly looked on and
saw the attackers die to man without
lifting a gun in their behalf. The
army, he declared, must be tegenerated,
or Russia would be lost. EIF t..5

the delegate declared traffic would
cease entirely by November unless the
tactics of railroad employees, who are
reported strongly organized, were
changed. He made d strong appeal

CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR.

The internal revenue department of
the United States has made public fig
ures from it's 1915 report which def
nitely and conclusively dispose of one
of the stock arguments of the liquor
interests, namely, that prohibition does
not prohibit and that with the growth
of dry territory the consumption Of
liquor increases. Notwithstanding in
dications on every hand to the con-
trafy, journals of the liquor trade,
nti-prohibtion platform orators and
writer's of liquor publicity articles in
the general press reiterate the state
ment that legislation has not had, and
never will have, any effect upon the
amount of liquor consumed. The statis-
tics given out by the internal revenue
department, to the effect that the in
ternal revenue tax on spirituOus
liquors is decreasing at tie rate of ST.
100000 every month, most effectively
dispose of these falsifications.
