Kerensky Coming Backl

News from Russia takes on a more
hopeful hue in the announcement that
kerensky has rallied large force of
loyal troops and is marching on Petro-
grad, where panic prevails among the
bolsheviki and ma1imalists, who recent
ly overturned his government and set
up an administration of their own This
may signify civil war in Russia, which
would, of course, be most unfortunate
for the allied Cause in that it would
render Russia for q season wholly i'm
potent for active military operations
against the enemy. But judging from
the events Of the past eight months
prolonged internal struggle is not to be
expected. Despite the happenings at the
capital there is no sign Of a gen
eral decadence of national spirit in Rus
STA The factional outbreak Of last week
at Petrograd does not necessarily be-
token the general prevalence of desire
for peace at any price. These reactions
at the capital are purely political and
cannot be accepted as representative of
the whole body Of the people. While
the bolsheviki claim by their name to
be the majority they are in truth only
a faction of radicals, led by man of
known pro-German inclinations, sus-
pected, indeed, Of being the direct agent
Of Germany. Kerensky's speedy restora-
ton to power may result from the new
move, and if this is accomplished he
will be stronger than ever, with pros
pect of continued military organization
against Germany, especially If he and
Korniloff should work in harmony, as
is now suggested. 1t is, however, unsafe
to speculate upon Russian happenings
The mass is in ferment and prediction is
fruitiess. Yet the prayer rises that Rus
STA may remain true to the pledges given
to hold stanch line against Germany
and prevent concentration by the CEN
trail powers upon the entente forces in
the west and south Russia has no
future save through German defeat.

Prohibition and the Elections.

By and large, the drink traffic had an
uncomfortable experience last week. All
the elections returns were against it. In
some states they were more pronounced
than In others, but In no state where an
expression on the subject was taken did
the opponents of the traffic fail to score.
The seesawing in Ohio, which lasted
several dsys-now the vets, now the
drys, claiming majority-did not hide
the fact that in tho very close vote It.
self was dry victory. At the previous
trial Of conclusions the vets had had
an enormous majority. Here they had
been cut to beggarly one thousand
or 50. No wonder the drys are picking
their fiints for another shot The next
time they should. and probably will.
score. The success of the movement
elsewhere will aid them.
In New Mexico the prohibitionists
won handily. Their majority was large,
and rested upon clear presentation of
the case.

Local Prohibition Endorsed.

Assurance of the public Endorsement
Of the new order of things in Wash
ington under prohibition is conveyed
by the enormous meetings held yester
day at one Of the theaters and an over
flow on the steps Of the Treasury. The
original meeting was called to express
qualification at the passing Of the saloon
from Washington and to add to the
movement for national prohibition. So
great an attendance as to overflow the
theater was not expected, and it would
seem from the enthusiasm manifested
that Washington is not only content with
the new situation, but is heartily in sym
pathy with 1t. Naturally the prohibi-
tionists are greatly encouraged by the
placing of the National Capital among
the dry communities of the country, and
at yesterdays meeting the determination
to demand action on the Federal amend
ment was voiced by speakers Of ma
tional eminence

traffic, long influential in the state; but
new leaf was turned at the polls, and
the foes Of the traffic have much to re-
joice over.
In New York the cause Of temperance
was advanced by the enf.anchisement
Of the women. Women everywhere are
opposed to the saloon; and in New York
the saloon has long been power in
politics. Already the opponents Of the
saloon, reinforced by the new voters,
are planning to tackle, and II possible
put an end to, the saloon power. To
overthrow it will require an extraordi-
nary effort. 1t has friends In both the
political world and the financial world
and in tussle for its life will use all
the influence it can command
In Kentucky now both parties desire
an expression Of the voters as to state
wide prohibition. Well administered
local option laws already control all but
a few Of the counties of the state; and
the closing of the distilleries during the
war by act of Congress has still further
reduced the power of booze. The pro-
hihitionists are much encouraged; and
should they bag the Blue Grass common
wealth their cup of joy-not of booze
will run over. In every aspect such
victory would be famous. indeed.

Patrol the Boulevard!

Maryland authorities should take cog
nizance Of the fact that since the be-
ginning Of prohibition in the District
dangerous conditions prevail on the Bal
timore-Washington boulevard, which is
traversed by many people going to the
former city in search of strong drink
or returning therefrom having obtained
1t. In less than one week FIVE people have
lost their lives on that road, and these
casualties may be traced mainly to ex-
cessive speeding. Four Of these people
were killed in four different wrecks at
the same point, an especially bad spot
at . suxvs where high speed is particu-
larly dangerous A long as Baltimore
lures drink seekers . special precaution
should b taken along the.road to check
speeding. The danger point In ques-
tion should be safeguarded, and, If pos
sible, tho ewve corrected Those who
are driving cars while under the influ-
ence Of stimulants obtained in Balti-

users Of the road until it has become

the application of the heaviest penal

over three years ago, and especially
since tho United States broke with Ger

The President at Buffalo.

The service the President is perform
ing at Buffalo today should lead to re-
eruiting in that line, and to the inaugu-
ration of a countrywide movement.
That is to say, speakers Of power and
reputation should be organized to ad-
dress meetings called in every state for
the express purpose of impressing upon
men who work with their hands, and es-
pecially those who work skillfully, the
importance Of sticking to their Jobs to-
day, and bestirring themselves as never
before
Labor's part at this time Is vital to
the country's plans. If performed poor
", the country will suffer. IF botched,
or halted outright, by strikes and con-
troversies over wages, or hours. or con-
ditions of any kind, the country may
collapse.
There is moro than the war at stake.
The country has needs outside Of the
war. Everyday demands are to be con-
sidered. Even laboring man deplor-
ing the war should Jet remember that if
he fails in his duty now he contributes
to the embarrassment of non-comba-
tants. Work Of many kinds must go
on, or men, women and children will
become victims Of the resulting idle
ness and disarrangement.
It Is not to be denied that war profits
have operated not unnaturally on the
labor associated with them, but not shar-
ing in the prosperity they have pro
duced Here and there wages have been
increased, but nowhere in keeping with
the increases In dividends that capital
has enjoyed. And in some lines moth
ing at all has been done for labor. This
has caused discomfort, and now and
then active, and even angry, protest.
Nevertheless, this spirit should not be
carried to the extent Of binding labor
to the larger obligations the war con-
ditions have imposed. No quarrel be-
tween capital and labor can be local
lied now. The general public is more or
less affected by all Of them.
As The Star stated Saturday in treat
ing of this matter, labor is not disloyal.
No more is. capital But both should
be kept constantly reminded of the diff
ference between these times and nor
NAL times, and that every effort is nee
essary now to insure that production is
not lessened or distribution hindered if
By an exhibition Of mutual concessions
any difficulties arising can be composed.

The Street Safety Talks.

During the past week speakers at the
local theaters have been talking street
safety, at all performances. It is esti-
mated that $4,000 persons were thus
addressed for five-minute periods. Sure
ly the urgent need of greater care in
using the streets Of Washington has
been brought home directly by this
means to large part of the people
Washingtons contribution to the street
accident casualties during the past fiscal
year was fifty-three deaths, and with
the crowded condition Of the city that
now prevails there will be a greater
number during the present fiscal year
unless unusual care is exercised on the
part of all, pedestrians and motorists,
drivers and motormen. If this cam
paign Of education, inaugurated by Maj.
Pullman and now to be continued by the
Safety First Association, Is effective the
death roll in Washington will be re-
duced below last years mark. This is
greatly to be desired. There is no oc-
casion for accidents In the streets if
everybody is careful and considerate.
No matter how great the urgency Of err
rands, nothing justifes headlong dashes
by pedestrians or by vehicles. As a war
measure alone the people should be
eager to do their part to save lives here
at home. The admonitory words Of
those who spoke to multitudes last week
should not be forgotten.

item, concerning which the bureau of
standards states: "At night, or when
the watch Is not in use, it is desirable
to leave the watch in the same posi-
ton as during the day, and preferably
in some place where it will not be
subject to any great temperature
change. If 1t is desirable to leave the
watch in horizontal position during
the night for the sake of cOmpensat-

Of the watch in the pendant-up posi-

of position is carried out may be as

IN SPREAD OF CIVILIZATION
Deposition Of Theebaw, Monarch OF
Upper Burma, Paved Way for
country's Peace and Prosperity.

The recent death of Theebaw, once
an Indian king, recalls memories of
the horrors of his rule and the over
throw of his dynasty, and the British
annexation of Upper Burma 81 years
ago, the London Times states. He
was one of the Junior members Of
large family of sons and daughters of
King AIindOon, who ruled Ava des-
politically, but on the whole prosper
ously, for 26 years. After undergo
ing the usual novitiate in Buddhist
monastery, he became with three of
his brothers, pupil of the late Dr.
J. f. Marks, who built a school and
church at Mandalay almost entirely
at the cost of the king. Doctor Marks
often testified to the engaging and
kindly qualities and bOOkish tastes of
the youth, who soon afterward, under
the influence of woman, allowed ter
rible atrocities to be committed.
