THE ORGY OF THE RED GUARDS IN PETRoeRAD
A Night of Horror

Night of Horror
 Disorders ana desultory street fighting increased day by day, and the night of December reached eliminating point when band of soldiers and sailors broke into the Winter Palace and pilIaged the wine cellars The Preobrajinsky regiment whose barracks were next Goor, and who supposed to be on guard tried at first to put up feeble resistance but very soon joined in the general plunder themselves. All during the night the orgy continued and several encounters took place between drunken bands so- diers anG sailors, and from the embassy heard the constant sound of firing all down the quay and the Millionaia.
 Early the next morning, the news having rapidly spread through the town crowds arrived the scene to try and get little booty. Soldiers in huge motor lorries Grove up to the palace, and went away with their motors full of of priceless wine Women their full of bottles could be trying sell them to passersby in the streets Even the children had their share of the plunder and could be rying bottle of champagne or perhaps some valu- able old liquor
 About midday armed force of sailors and one or two armOred arrived on the scene to try and restore order The palace surrounded and nobody was allowed to pass anywhere near.
 Thousands of bottles of wine were destroyed and thrown over into the ice sthe sailors firing into the bottles the quicker to break them; but the horde of Grunken soldiers immense that the orgy still continued without any abatement and order only be- to be restored the arrival of company of fire who flooded the cellars and drowned lot of sol diers who were too drunk to escape.
 Even far down the quay as the embassy the air infected with the reek of spirits, and every where drunken soldiers lay about broken bottles lit tered the streets, the stained rose-red and yellow where in many places the wine had, been spilled.-From The Red Guard" by Meriel Buchanan in the October Scribner.

French government employs very similar test to prove the hardness of its high explosive shells.
 To secure the maximum of destruc- tiveness, it is important not only that the steel projectiles should be of 8 certain hardness but also that they should not be too hard. After the cas- ing has been roughly formed and hol- lowed out, the shells are subject to what is known as "heat treatment" by which the steel Is brought to tho correct hardness. To make doubly sure, the shells are tested in a Brinell ball. testing machine.
 This machine tests the hardness of the shell exactly as your thumb tests the hardness of the apple. It is fitted with a small. hardened steel ball, which is pressed into the shell under specific load. The indentation made by the ball is measured, and if within certain limits the hardness is correct. If not, the shell must be further l treated.

 There can be no doubt but that the Huns have not only worked those French mines to the utmost during the time they had them but they have probably wrecked that which they could not carry away.

Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Get. 3.-Prices and distribution of virtually all articles of wearing apparel are to be controlled by the war industries board Regulations issued yesterday prescribing certain fixed prices for shoes constituted only the first step in a general policy for price control of clothing. it was dis closed tonight.
 Chairman Baruch made the an- nouncement in an address to the Ma tional Dry Goods association. Referring to the putting into effect of the agree ment between the board and the shoe industry, MT. Baruch said:
 After that will have to come the regulation and distribution of most all 1 of the things which you gentlemen have to deal with. I don't want you to say it can't be done. because it must be done. It is unthinkable that only the man with the longest pocket book | can get the things that he needs.' The dry goods retailers when called upon by Chairman Baruch to take the product of 'the manufacturer, who. to some extent, has his prices regulated and limited amounts allotted to nim" with the determination to distribute it in some fair and equitable way. seeing tiiC,t, do lCI tto pOSSlOlt, SdNll lllOlN lUudl gets his share and gets it at a price that is fair"
 Base Price on Normal Profit l When it comes to the question of a fair price," MT. Baruch continued, that is very difficult to answer. should say roughly that a fair price is a price something like the pc-mal profits in normal times. l know you will all say that these are abnormal times. They are and we have got to do abnormal and new things.
 Representatives of the association were appointed to confer with the war industries board in matters of distribu- tion and price control.
 Though no details of the plan to be followed in controlling clothing prices has been announced by the board, it is believed that the generalpolicy adopted in fixing the prices of shoes will be followed. Standard prices for standard grades of mems and women's suits hats and other articles of clothing probably will be established by agree ment with manufacturers and retailers
 Shoe Arrangement Disclosed
