In the rear of the Gorman army which triumphantly made Its entry Into Gallcla and Russia were thousands
of Jewish refugees who had fled from their homes before the soldiers of the czar. Believing that they would be
permitted to enjoy privileges under the Germans which were denied them under the rulo of the czar, the Jews
looked upon the triumph of the German forces as another of the blessings heaped upon the "Children of Israel."

Tongue.
Pocatello, Idaho. George Horner,
who is employed by the Campbell
Carnival company as a snake charmer,
went out into the hills near here with
a companion, and captured eight rat
tlesnakes. Horner wanted to extract the fangs
of the reptiles, and had succeeded .by
using his teeth on the first few, when
a particularly squirmy one bit him on
the Up and tongue. As a consequence
he Is considering himself lucky to be
breathing, even by means of a tube
put through a bole in his windpipe.
As soon as he was bitten, Horner
was taken to Dr. A. F. Newton. The
doctor administered antidotes and la
bored with the man for three hours.
Horner's tongue became so swollen
that he could not breathe and Doctor
Newton found it necessary to cut a
hole In the man's windpipe.

"DEAD" MAN WALKS TO COURT
Identification In Chicago May Be Only
Trick of the "Heathen
. Chinee."
Chicago. As the Jury was completed
to try Harry Eng Hong, charged with
the murder of Mock Chung in a Chi
nese gambling house in 1913, an Ori
ental walked into Judge Barrett's
room in the Criminal court building
and announced that be was Mock
Chung. His announcement caused a
sensation.
The attorney for the defendant told
the court that the roan who was killed
was Jung Long and a marriage li
cense also would be Introduced In evi
dence to prove that the supposed mur
dered man is among the living.
According to Assistant State's At
torney John O'Brien the slate hopes
to prove that Mock Chung was really
murdered and that the man who ap
peared In court possesses the rame
name as the dead man.
WATER FOR CHRISTENING.
There Beems to be some confusion
on the purt of certain good people con
cerning the attitude of the W. C. T. U.
with regard to the christening of ships
with champagne. The Outlook said
editorially: "The opposition of ex
treme temperance advocates has at
ways been difficult to understand." II
contends that Inasmuch as "a bottle
smashed on the bow of a battleship lk
one bottle, that can never be drunk,
such an event ought to be regarded aa
another blow to the consumption of
liquor."
Miss Anna A. Gordon, president of
the National Woman's Christian Tem
perance t'nlon, being asked to give the
whlte-rlbboners' viewpoint, said: "Out
friends, the 'nonextremists,' are taking
a narrow and superficial view of the
question. They are losing sight of the
symbolism of the rite Itself. Consider
the root meaning of the word christen
ing. One of the dictionary definition
of to christen is, 'to name, as a ship
by a ceremony likened to baptism.' Al
ways baptism in the Christlun econ
omy has been with water. If In dayi
gone by spirituous liquors were sup
posed to give long life and to bring
good luck, the revelations of science
have thoroughly exploded that theory.
Water Is a symbol of life, alcohol a
symbol of disease, destruction and
death, the enemy of life and of effi
ciency; hence the christening of any
ship with champagne Is an absurdity
and an anachronism."
FUTURE OF KING ALCOHOL.
The Russian minister of finance of
fers $302,500 in prizes for the discov
ery of new methods for utilizing alco
hol. Three prizes totaling $25,000, will
be given for the discovery of new de
naturing substances, the improve
ments to such as will guarantee a
general use and make alcohol abso
lutely unfit for use as a beverage.
Twenty-one prizes, totullng $337,500,
are offered for suggestions for adding
to and Improving the uses of spirits
for heating, lighting, motive power
and in the industrial branches of
chemical technology. The largest
single prize of $37,000 (supplemented
by two other prizes totaling $50,000)
Is offered for an invention relating to
the utilization of spirits In internal
combustion engines; the production of
such substances as vinegar, ether,
chloroform, dissolving agents, fuel,
lighting, etc.
Russia's wise and practical policy
with regard to King Alcohol points to
the time when that most powerful en
emy of the human race from the begin
ning of time shall be transformed into
valued servant and friend. Thus do
we become "more than conquerors."
STUDY OF ALCOHOL.
That the dangers of alcohol should
be emphasized in every school in the
land, was the opinion voiced by Dr.
G. D. Cameron of Ohio, speaking be
fore the bureau of sanitary science
of the American Institute of Homeo
pathy. While the schools had touched
upon the subject somewhat, he said.
It remained for the European war to
set forth "the true relation of this
demoralizer of human efficiency."
"The utter desolation alcohol cre
ates in the home makes it like war,"
be asserted. "Like war, It digs the
untimely grave. It pauperizes.
Through heredity it creates the neu
rotic. It damns and degenerates
wherever it comes in contact with
the human tissue. It paves the way
for tuberculosis and Is first assistant
In disseminating the diseases of vice.
Yet tho schools do not manifest the
strong interest in this subject which
Its importance In social science de
serves. Let the forces of enlightenment
nrray themselves where the enemies
of society are making their strong
est attack. The schools should teach
that good health la life's greatest asset."
CONDEMN THE SALOON.
The Catholic Total Abstinence
union at Its annual convention In Mil
waukee voted to Join hands with the
Dry Chicago federation and appoint
ed a committee to co-operate wltb
that organization. "The saloon," de
clared the Catholics, "is engaged in
destroying civilized society. So long
as it confined Its destroying Influence
to the male portion of our population
temporizing remedies and expedients
were first to be thought of, but since
the alcohol octopus has enmeshed the)
whole family In its slimy tentacles
with commercialized vice, a symptom
of the alcoholic blight, with woman
hood dishonored and motherhood de
stroyed, the manhood that remains un
sullied must arise In defense till the
whole bad business is Bwept from our
land." .
SOCIAL AND CIVIC PROBLEM.
William A. Plnkerton has said that
all of us are more or less potentially
criminal, and that this Innate ten
dency is kept submerged by most men
through habits of temperate self-control.
That the city and state are respon
sible for deliberately breaking down
the resisting power of their citizens
there no longer can be any question.
In other words, the problem of crime
is not merely a matter of Individual
responsibility. Its prevention Is a
question ot Boclal and civic obligation.
NO INTOXICANTS ALLOWED.
..For the first time In the history of
Pennsylvania's National Guard,, a
sweeping order affecting the use and
sale ot intoxicants in camp has been
Issued by the adjutant general. The
order comes through the regular mili
tary channels, direct from Governor
Brumbaugh.
RUMMIES' FRIENDS.
"We are the friends of the rum
mies," she said. If we rid this coun
try of rum even the saloonkeepers
will live longer." Alary Harris Armor.
