RU SSIANS NEED HELP.
Will Become Barbarians Within Three
 Years If It Is Not Given.

London, Feb. 1.-"Russia-that is, soviet Russia--will revert to absolute barharism within three years if assist ance is not offered from the outside says British officer who recently es- capped from Russia. To the cores pendent of The Associated Press, he added:
 Men and women of the better classes who have lived through the first year of Bolshevism are donning peasant garb in self-d defense and drop ping into the dull monotonous village life. There's nothing else for them to do. Russia will soon be as prim- tive as the Congo if allowed to drift along under Bolshevik control. It is hopeless to expect leadership in Rus sa which will save the country from reversion to mediaevalism. The Bol- shevik leaders are not strong. Op-. position leaders are so weak that Lenine and his associates seem strong by comparison. They are merely bet ter organized than any other group.

ENGLAND MAY ADOPT
 NEW PANEL PLAN
Calls for Clinical Service; Medical
 Men Protest Its Adoption

London, Dec. 30, Correspondence of the Associated Press. )--Change in England's system of medical service whereby the "panet' pan now appli- cable to the poor would be extended to all classes are proposed by a gov are strongly opposing the proposals. ., For a number of years, under a health insurance act, wage earners have been called upon to make small weekly payment to a, fund which the government uses to provide medical attention to all classes of the popula- ton affected by the. insurance law. Every practicing physician must treat a certain Der of the so-called panel" patients, receiving pay for this work from the governm ment. The new scheme provides for whole time medical service, and practitioners en- tering it are to be graded into five classes, corresponding to military rank, ranging from lieutenant to colonel
 Class 1 would he paid s7,5oO a year, Class 2. $5,000 and so on down to Class ,, which would pay $2.00O. Ex- aminations would be held for promo tion 10 higher classes Expenses in cured by the practitioner for drugs, appliances, clinics and travelling ex- penses would be paid by the govern ment.
 Each physician would be expected to look after between 2,000 and 5000 patients. Thex xhigher classes of medi- cal men would deal chiefly with ad- ministrative work and with the giving of consultative advice.
 The patient would be expected to attend a surgery in the morning. Eve nued and less visits would be paid at night to patients tha is done now. Work out of hours would be taken over by Juniors.
 All hospitals would be taken over by the governn ent, under this plan.
 According 10 the secretary of the Medico- Political Union, there Is flow army against the scheme.
 Not one-third of the doctors want it." he said "A clinical service is an a abhorrence to both medical m en and the public. We are not oppoed to state control of hospitals What we object to do in the clinical system is the destruction of the personal rela- ton ship between practitioner and pa tient, and the abolition of free choice of doctor. The women will be dead against It.

Cheaper Food At Lat.
(BOstOn Herald.


 No one can read MT. HooVer's state ment without concluding that drop in food prices is inevita ble. And if we may venture to give the retailers and .restarrateurs bit of advice, it would be that they should not allow any un- necessary time to elapse between the dron at the hands of the wholesale Ter and their own translat tion of it into the units of the everyday purchaser.
 Food prices have advanced sensa- tionallv in this and other OmmunitieS. The hotels and restaurants have not only raised rates, but they have re- duced portions and have adopted less liberal methods in their service. Why woul it not be good plan to retain the smaller portions and the more exacting economies--like the charge for bread and butter-while making a reduction in gene prices We are be- lieve that is where the pubic would prefer to see the first concession.
 And food will go still lower. The very surplus of labor of which we hear so much will express itself in an abun- dant supply, if not a surplus of food. You realize the very close connection between human hands and the supply of human mouths The gathering of inc clsms. oysters, Holsters; the pur- suit of game in the woods and nsh on the sea, the hoeing ot potatoes ana the milking of cows, all mean lapor> and nou, that it is abundant its pro- ducts will surely become so.

Foreign Orders Not Coming.
(Toronto Mail and Empire.)

Many exporters of staple lines who expected big orders from abroad when hOstilities ended are disappointed be- cause these are not forthcoming. It was inevitable after the fighting stop- ped that, pending a definite settlem ent and demo bilization, the European na- tions should go slow in buying mate rials they could do without, for a, time. It can be taken for granted that, burdened financially as they are, the peoples of Europe are going to provide for themselves as much of their requirements as they can. They will buy needed materials but they will soon want to be sellers, rather than purchasers.

Why America Went Dry.

detter in Springfield Republican, To the Editor of The Republican:
 I used to think that the negro was the cause of prohibition in the South till l went South myself Then when I would say that, .the Southerners would stare. It was new idea to them.
 The South went" dry so fast for an other reason, they tell you The South is old Am merica. It is I think over 90.1 Am merican born, and behaves just like the New England America of 1S25-50 It does not care for figures but is impelled by the moral. The secretary of the anti-saloon league of North Carolina told me that when a man in that state wants to run for congress, first he takes a Sunday school class; then he becom es 8 super intendent. "Then,'' said he, he is ready to run for congress. Get the Methodist and Baptist Bible classes and you get the political machine"
 The modern, scientific movem ent against alcohol set linen thinking, about alcohol again, and when that thinking reached the South they moralized it and put it right into the Bible classes; hence. it inevitably be- came politics and turned the whole South prohibition. This was the ex- planation given me by men who had thought on< why the South went dry -Aboth the anti-sal loon league men and editors, like the editor of the Colum- bia State:
 In the South, the signs outside the towns read. Good Churches" at the top;:.at the bottom comes Business" Y ou have old evangelical America in ment went so fast down there. At least, so the men on the spot say and when you mention the negro, they say Well. he may have had 8 little mf1uence but we have never thought so."
 The reason the nation went dry is, of course the great industrial appeal, plus the marvellous organization, the genius for politics, of the anti-saloon leagu
 Suffrage now lacks only one vote in congress. l had sympathy with Miss Rankin when she said that we ought 10 send the anti-saloon league after that one vote The anti saloon league into a bundle that could be placed in the recalcitrant senator's lap over night. There is great sentiment for suffrage in Massachusetts today, but the women do not know how to gather it up and fire it on congress as did the "drys.'

MiIwaukee's Reform.
( Waterbury Am erican.

Americanization is finding a place even in Germanic Milwaukee. There the study of German is to be discon- tinued in public schools. The language has probably been cultivated there more assiduously than in any other American city. Tn 1916 there were 300 teachers employed in the teaching of the German language to 30.000 pupils, Now there is only one such teacher and only 400 pupils and apparently this one is to be put out of business. The. head of German instruction, who has been an assistant in the schools for S5 years has resigned on the ground that he lis entitled to rest"

Armenian Girls in Turk HArCnaS,

(Consta ntinople Letter. x. '. Tribune)
 The comm issioners seeking stolen children and abducted girls, visited not only the orphanages and other lnsti- tutions but private homes and harems as well A visit to one of the private houses illustrated the enormous dlff1- culties generally encountered.
 "A Turk had killed the parents of an Armenian girl who was well off and handed her over to his son, whO after having forcibly converted her to Islam, married her and thus obtained the wealth that was rightly hers. When asked if she would like to leave, this girl could not make up her mind. She said she was about to become a mother and knew that if she returned to her own people they would not take her in with the child of a Turk, and hence the baby would become waif.
 Some sort of scheme on 8 large scale should be put into effect for the bene- fit of girls similarly situated, for a. Turk, as is well known. will keep a girl only as long as her youthful bloom lasts, and will then cast her aside. There are thousands of Arme- nian girls and girls of other nation alities similarly situated. Hundreds of orphans are being hidden under the eyes of the Allies.
 Every day a few Greeks and Arme- nians are found, It is true that these stolen girls and children are not actu- ally maltreated as a general rule. Tn fact the orphanages and other insti- tutions inspected show that excellent care is taken of them, but entirely in the same spirit that stock farms are conducted-to produce fine animals.
 Much could be done to educate these girls, for the Armenians are particu- larly clever with the needle and at the loom Money is required not only to maintain and educate them, but to carry out vast scheme of repatria- tion.
