FAMILY TROUBLES.

Judge William N. Gemmil, Chicago,
formerly Of the court of domestic re-

Of all family assertions are due direct

Gin or near" military camps. Not
only can liquor not be sold or sup
piled but 1t will be illegal for any
person to have in his possession any
intoxicating or splrituous liquors at
any military STATEN, cantonment,

1t will be unlswful for anyone to
sell intoxicating liquor, including
beer to any officer or member of the
military forces while in uniform.
Likewise, the social evil Is guarded
against through the suppression and
prevention Of the setting up of any
houses used for immoral purposes.
The fact that under the authority
of congress the president is author
lied to call IL 100000 men to the c0lors
Is expected to have great moral eff

England to date has raised some
6,000,0O0 men. With the exception of q
couple of million these men are at
the front In France, Belgium. Egypt,

What the president and Secretary
Baker desire first and above all is to
train the officers and men. When they
are ready to fight the drilled troops Of
Germany, then probably they will be
sent abroad, and not before.
But Germany doubtless will watch
with increasing anxiety the prepared

realize that peace will be most desir-

ready for service in France.

The Tartufc Among Nations

(FrO,a The Topeka CdpitaD
If the most popular of German lyrical poets
lived in the day Of the present Kaiser, car
ried away by the ingrowiug egoism so long
painstakngly cultivated, Of Hohenzollern and
Deutsche Kultur, he would long ago have
been cooling his poetic heels behind iron bars.
1t was Heine who wrote with sanity now
almost extinct in the empire Of the Kaiser:
81 do not trust this Prussian, this tall and
canting white-gaitered hero, with his wide
mouth and his rapacious stomach and his
corporaps stick, which he first dipped in holy
water before laying it on. | dislike this
phiosophic military despotism, its mixture
Of small beer, lies and sand. Repulsve be-
yond expression is to me this Prussia, this
stiff, hypocritical Prussia, this TartufTe
among the nations"
Pity that the race of Heines and of Goethes
has almost run out, giving place TO drill
masters and Big Business. They were never
half as badly needed by the German people

light from April 80 TO September 30.
None would have suffered monetary loss,
even the electric light companies standing
to gain by the measure, for the peak Of
their load would be more evenly distrib-
uted and their general expenses curtailed
Administrator Garfield should bear this
measure in mind. He should insist on its
passage. 1t has been tried and not found
wanting in almost all the European coun-
tries.
Surely If il has been a success there we
should be eager to have it adopted here.

Germany's Russian Prisoners

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Il seems 20 be assumed that in the
event OF peace on the Russian front Ger
many would stand TO gain enormously
through the release of her prisoners Of war.
There are supposed to be a million or
more Of these in Russia, but there are two
million or more Of Russian prisoners in
Germany, and these must all be doing indis-
pensable work for their eaptors.
Our military experts can perhaps estimzts
the effect on Germany's military power IL
she were 10 lose 100000 working men in
order 10 gain 100000 hghting men, and
especially IL nine-tenths OF these fighting
men were OF the stuff that Austrians are
made ~. CHARLES ROBINSON SMITH.

A Limited Investigator

1t appears that DR.. Hyslop is, after all,
Indifferent to the supposed pOst-mortem
conversion of Hugo Mdnsterberg and
never meant it to be understood that he
would believe or did believe word he
said, whether living or dead"
The point is not really of much mo-
ment, for The Tribune's warning was adj
dressed rather TO the humble readers
of DR.. Hyslops magazine than to the
learned editor himself. 1t is indeed much
to his credit that he should have had the
patience to listen to so questionable a
ghost at all, but especially remarkable
that he should devote so many valuable
RACES to his discourse. The warning,
however, was principally for those who
might be inclined to accept the word Of
the ethereal Munsterberg on the subject
Of survival, point upon which it was
insisted his opinion is neither disinter-
ested nor perhaps altogether trustworthy
DR.. Hyslop's own views are so clearly
expounded in a letter printed in another
column that they should suffice TO correct
that grave misunderstanding of the
whole problem" which he discovers in the
well meant warning. Perhaps, indeed, it
was not so grave as he thinks it, but since
he is inclined TO gravity on these occa-
sions he is PROFESSIONALLY entitled to a
correction"
Now 10 be quite grave. IL il no news

Daylight Saving Needed

Fuel Administrator Garfield has taken
steps 10 conserve the coal supply by limit
ing electrical display advertising. But a
far greater saving could have been accom-
plished earlier in the year had Congress
but acted, or rather if the House had fol-
lowed the lead OF the Senate and Endorsed
the daylight saving bill.
That was a measure which would have
gayed hundreds Of thousands Of tons Of
coal simply by advancing the hands Of the
clock one hour during the summer months.

1t is like vision of brave death,
This silent-ssndslled army on the hills;
Somehow the dwindling banners on the
downs,
Last caperings of clowns,
Last golden goblets filed and tipped and
spilled,
Last glints of waving scarves
Upon the bAttlements Of Camelot;
Somehow the dwinding banners on the

The fading fash Of armour-trappings-
swords
The last Crusaders-crumbling castle walls;
Green rushes in the mud Of moats,
Aad boats and barges buried underneath.

To trace a little gold, write something fsir
Upon the black place Of forgetfGlness,
Something in memory
Stand back! for Guinevere shall pass"
