MONOCLE ROW is BITTER.
Germany Aroused by Order Against
Use by Security Police.

BERLIN. February 12-An order
forbidding the wearing of the monocle
by officers and members of the Sc
curity police. issued by the 'russian
minister OF the interior, has brought
down upon the minister veritabIe
avalanche of abuse. 1t also evoked
reamS of argument in favor of the
glass.
The minister described the wearing
of the monocle as IAN unbecoming
habit" and attributed it to the vanity
of officers rather than to any weak
ness of the eye.
His critics accuse him of being de-
ficient in anatomical knowledge, of
making a grandstand play to the pro-
ietariat, and of a malicious attempt
to overthrow an old, honored and
common institution.
a mans two eyes are very seldom
of equal sOundness, it is pointed out,
and the use of spectacles might in
jure sound eye. while aiding the
weak member. Therefore, it is ar
gued. the custom is well established
on physical grounds.
The majority of the commentators
scornfully reject the minister's rea-
sons for the order-that the mopocle
is an afiectation and smacks of mon
archical times. They argue that the
one-eyeglasS custom prevails in such
democratic countries as England and
even to some extent in America
One participant in the fray thinks
the monocle wearer is not getting a
square deal. Any man who can man
between his eyebrow and his cheek
bone ought to be rewarded with "A
medal of merit for exceptional skill
instead of being reprimanded, he says
