A NEW YORK HOTEL MANS VIEW.

Mr.. Frank Case, for IA years pro-
prietor Of the Algonquin hotel, New
York city, has closed his bar to stay
closed. The fact is chronicled by the
New York Times. Being asked "why"
by a group of astonished friends to
whom he made the announcement, Mr..
Case pointed to a small boy crossing
the hotel lobby with bunch Of school
books under his arm. There's one
reason right there" he said. "That

home from school. have decided that
I don't want to pay his school bills and

SENTIMENT IN RUSSIA.

The Petrograd correspondent Of the
Neue Zuricher Zeitung, in a survey Of
the two years sobriety in Russia,
quotes a representative Of the duma as
saying that ''the very thought of the
fearful consequences on the battlefield
and in the country itself Of a continue
ton Of the alcohol regime makes every
patriot shudder." The writer con-
tinues: 1--WE are, therefore, more than
overjoyed to know that 1t has fRen

How quickly the population grasped
the prospective benefits Of the great re-

when 1t became known that the i'm

valid, would need the express consent
of the majority of the mfrs, only an ex-

Nobody has SO quickly and COM

revolution as woman, the greatest suf-
ferer from the old alcohol curse. We
are, therefore, not astonlshed to learn
that as soon as the saloons were def

marched to the churches In Indian file
to burn n candle each, thanking the
Lord for the great delivery.

eighty, Richmond forty and Norfolk
forty. and we can get thirty or forty
men on committee here in Wash

Duty of Business Man.

\ principal topic of discussion at the

business owes the government in war.
The strongest possible emphasis will
be laid upon this. There Will come the
question of how business of the coun-

winning the war. This will include
what may be done to control prices
how priority may be most quickly and
effectively established. how greater eff
cheney in land and water transporta-
ton shall be developed. how best to
provide for and protect forces on land
