When Peter the Great went to Hol- land to learn how to build ships. one of the first things that he did was to drink a pint of beer. He had just bought a boat, and this drink, as was customary, sealed the bargain.
 Peter the Great was an extraordi- anry man. Of his herculean laibors in building up his native land, of his in defatigable powers of work, of his contempt for pomp and the artificial ities of court life, these are familiar to nearly everyone. Less well known are his debauches, which were on the same tremendous scale as everything else that he undertook. Peter was not the only ruler who has drunk immOd- erauly, but l . was the ablest of them all. Life was to him a continuous matter of hard work and hard play. When he worked he thought of noth- ing else for days on end. It was the same way with his pleasures. When he wanted relaxation from effort, he

AERIE MAKES FINE
 APPEARANCE

The Eagles parade in New Haven yesterday was one of the finest affairs of it's kind ever held in the country, over 10000 members of the order be- ing in line from all parts of the United States and immense crowds viewed the pageant all along the line of march.
 Bridgeport was represented in the parade by it's aerie with about 200 marchers, its degree team, a platoon of police in command of George L. Benedetti, and a platoon of firemen in command of Lieut.. D. J. F1aherty. The Coast Artillery band furnished music. The degree team was in charge of w. J. Brooks, with E. J. Joy as aide.
 Syracuse, N. Y, was chosen as the city for holding the meeting of the Grand Aerie in 1920 after a lively contest in which Atlantic City, N. J., and several Western cities were conn petitors.

Morin, Pittsburgh, Pa, grand worthy vice president; William Doherty, New Ha- ven, grand worthy chaplain; John s. Parry, San Francisco, grand secretary; Joseph H. Bowling, Dayton, O., grand treasurer: John B. Henderson, Ale gheney. Pa, grand worthy conductor and John Rice, South Birmingham, | Mass, grand inside guard.

TWEED NEW LAWS ID CRUSH REDS
 IN U. S." '" LUSK
DepOrt Alien BOlsheVistS, Inn prison Citizen Offenders, He
 Advises In Speech.

Rochester, Aug. 22-Speaker Clay ton R. Lusk, chairman of the joint legislative committee to investigate seditious activity in the State of New York, was the principal speaker yes terday at the annual field day and pie nic of the Monroe County Pioneers Association. In commenting on the work of his committee he said:
 ''The different disloyal elements in this country have been uniting and working for a common purpose. Their purpose is to establish an Interna tional Socialist State of which the United States of America shall be part. Soviet Russia sends its repre- sentatives here for the purpose of cir culating propaganda intended to con- vert American citizens to the Interna- tional Socialist State and to cause them to renounce their allegiance to the American government and the American flag and give their ale glance to the International Socialist State and the red flag. This was clearly proven by the documents seized in the raid upon the Russian Soviet Bureau operating in New York City.
 ''The documents seized under the search warrants set forth the condi- tions which are to exist under ths International Socialist State. The state is to be run by the so-called proletariat in their interests. The Bolsheviki are to be armed. The bourgeoisie and the rich are to be disarmed. Property is to be confis- cated. C1ergymen of all kinds are condemned as the tools of the cap italists. Moral conduct is to be guided by passion and desires. Mar riage ties are no longer to be sa- cred.
 "The circulation of disloyal prOpa- ganda and seditious agitation should be stopped at once. The deportation laws of this country should be mate rially strengthened. Citizens of other countries who are here attempting to bring about a bloody revolution should be promptly deported. Grim inal laws should be enacted to cover these activities. Citizens of this country who insist upon advoca ting a bloody revolution should be impris- oned. Organizations should be form ed in each state, either as a part of an existing department or as a sep
 arate department. to keep in touch
 with disloyal agitation and take the | necessary steps to protect the institu tons of free government. The edu- l cation of foreigners in America, too 1 long deferred, should be taken up [ vigorously"

ALL CANNOT
 WEAR STARS ON
 VICTORY RIBBON

Washington, Aug. 22 - Warning against the unauthorized addition of silver stars to the Victory ribbon worn by soldiers was issued by the War Department yesterday. A silver star cannot be worn unless the cita- tion is published in orders from head quarters of a force commander by general officer, or for any citation for which a Medal of Honor. Dfstin- guished Service Cross was awarded, and the citation must be for gallantry in action under fire.
 Officers and enlisted men wearing silver stars are directed to present to their commanding officer for ap- proval copies of the citation on which their claim is based
 The improper wearing of bronze stars on the Victory ribbon directs attention to the fact that they are authorized only to represent the clasps showing battles in which the waarsr partdcipated.

plunged into the widest dissipation.
 His banquets were orgies, savage feasts, in which the monarch out drank all the others at his table. He made no secret of them. He recog- nized no halfway measures. When he was sober, he was very, very so- Der; when he was drunk, he was very, very drunk. His vices as well as his virtues were on a colossal scale.
 Peter inherited his taste for alcohol from ancestors who had never finched from intoxicating liquor. As far back as we can go in Russian history, alco- hol is always found. Mead, the fer mented liquor, made from honey and water, seems to have been the favor ite drink of the early Russians. Back in the misty period of the 10th cen tury, there is a record of banquet at Novgorod at which so much mead was served, that 10000 pounds of honey were used to prepare it. Up to the time of the war, mead could be

 Red mead was made by adding tc boiled water and honey the juice of cranberries. Fermentation was in duced by yeast and cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mace and other spices were added for fiavoring. It was placed in a cool cellar for several weeks and then bottled.
 Another popular drink in Russia for many centuries was what is called kvass. This, however, is so weak in alcohol that it is almost impossible 70 get intoxicated by drinking it. It is said to have found favor among the Slavs at least 2,000 years ago. Kvass is usually made from cereals but the Russians also have a liquor which they call by the same name, which is manufactured from fruits. Apples are generally favored as the base of this drink, but pears and an almost innumerabIe variety of fruits and Der

ries are also utilized.
 Vodka, the best known of Russian
 drinks, is made from barley and rye, so that it is more like whisky than any other intoxicating liquor known to Americans. Popular reputation has given vodka a bad name in contrast even to the fiery hard liquors of other
 lands. This, however, is not wholly
 justified. The cheapest brands, which are not made from cereals, but from potatoes, are a good deal like liquid
 fire in taste. But the vodka that is sold in the better hotels, and which commands the highest prices is, the Russians maintain, more mild than
 whisky. gin or other hard liquors.
 Travellers, who have tasted vodka,
 disagree widely about it. But they are unanimous in saying that it is disagreeable to drinking. After a
 while this dislike to it can be over
 come but a liking for it has to be ac- 1 quired.
