THOUGHT
OF VODKA COULD NOT ME
CONTROLLED.
"
Vladivostok, Feb. 5.—Vodkaless Vla-
divostok has been realized in spite of
the predictions that a seaport which
is the gateway to a rough frontier
country could not be rendered non-
alcoholic.
The imperial edict against alcohol
has been so thoroughly enforced that
but little liquor is sold. Punishment
<of bootleggers is so harsh that few
men care to engage in the forbidden
traffic, regardless of the immense pro-
fits it offers.
Vodka is the one drink whicn per-
sons of all classes of society cherish
in Siberia just as in European Rus-
sia. Before the Czar’s order against
liquor, vodka sold in Vladivostok at
about about fifty kopecks or twenty-
five cents liold a pint. Harbin, which
is located in Manchuria and conse-
J v
<juemly is under Chinese control, is
the nearest place to Vladivostok where
liquor is now sold, and the liquor
smuggled in from that point for se-
I cret sale in Vladivostok brings as
much as five rubles, or about $2.50
gold, a pint. This price is prohibi-
tive for most men of the humbler clas-
ses. Y,et a few of them manage to get
liquor and an occasional drunk peas-
, ant is enc\iptered staggering through
the strei
There Moms to be little disposition
on the pari of persons higher in the
social scale to evade tlie prohibition
for alcoholic drinks in the restaurants
and music hulls. If the tip is heavy
enough wine may be had in private
dining rooms at some ol the coles.
But the waiters must be sure of their
customers and subject them to tlie
third degree before producing the tor-
bidden beverage.
The difficulty and expense of getting
liquor are so great that pleasure-lov-
ing Vladivostok lias apparently de-
cided to get along without it and the
cafes, chantants and music halls are
making merry on ginger ale, coffee
and Russian tea served with lemon.
. The charges for these drinks are quite
us high as those for alcohol in ordi-
nary times, so the spender who en-
joys liquor chiefly because it is costly
can still feel that bis money is being
‘kept in circulation.
“I haven’t taken any liquor for three
months,” the manager of one of the
Important banks in Vladivostok re-
marked to the correspondent of the
Associated Press. “I don’t miss it
now and would feel , rather guilty if
1 drank in violation of the imperial
order. Most of my friends have all
seen the economic value of prohibi-
tion. It has jumped savings accounts
up at a rapid rate.”
When asked if the war order against
alcohol would be made permanent the
bank manager said he thought such
action quite probable. "The women of
Siberia are quite as keen to have
permanent prohibition as the women

Siberia all centered at Vladivostok, |°f havlng aU °r these textbooks
and the sailors joined them in large 'changed’ but simply to publicly note
numbers. But th,s war has brought
many changes. Siberia has been
drained of men of military age. Now
4ML
the shipping has grown amazingly and i
there arc seldom less than ten freight i
steamers in the harbor discharging j
war supplies. Consequently the float-i
ing population is large and the all-
night revels would probably go on
as usual were it not that liquor has
vanished, the police require all places
of amusement to close at 1 o’clock,
and take wanderers in custody who
are not properly accounted for at
(heir lodgings by that time.
So the dinner hour in the Siberian
Paris has been moved up to 10 o’clock
and the orchestra and performers in
the cafes chantants open their pro-
grams at that hours. The gayest of
these cafes is now offering, a revue
something after the order of those
produced in European capitals. Po-
litical jokes are the chief feature of
the performance. One of the actors
impersonates the Sultan and deplores
at great length the fate into which he |
lias been trapped, by Germany. An-1
other actor caricatures Emperor Fran-1
cis Joseph, with very exaggerated |
whiskers, and is given a sound drub- j
bing by a muscular young woman,
dressed to represent Hungary, who
charges the aged monarch with gross
mismanagement of affairs. Two young
women, representing Roumania and
Greece appear with baskets labeled
“Neutrality” and endeavor to get a
high bid for their baskets. The revue
closes with a tableau in which Rus-
sia and her allies are all represented
by young women who stand trium-
phant. actors representin i downcast
enemies.
Vladivostok also lias a circus which
lias enjoyed a run of several months
and is housed in permanent quarters.
But tlie Czar lias claimed most of the
strong men and the acrobats for his
army. So the performers are now
chiefly women and animals. A few
male performers who are neutrals
still have a place in the programs,
along with the train,ed dogs, cats, hor
ses and parrots. Several clowns be-
yond the military age impersonate
Germans and delight the audience
with thrusts at the Kaiser.
The attendance at the circus is
confined chiefly to the cheaper seats
and the standing space, where soldiers
and sailors in uniform accompanied
by their sweethearts, applaud the per-
formers heartily.
Moving picture theaters are numer-
ous in Vladivostok and very well at-
tended. War pictures are especially
popular. In one of these theaters the
correspondent of the Associated Press
saw a film purporting to show war-
ships preparing to move against the
Dardanelles from which the artist
failed to blot out the Brooklyn bridge
and the names on American battle-
ships passing review.

the injustices therein contained, as
i many teachers using these books are
1 not themselves conscious that they
'are unjust, and some one must tell
them about it.
I have been a student of history
and literature for many years, y,et I
(must confess that it came to me as a
j real surprise, while in London a few
years ago, to learn that to a Southern
man is due the English supremacy
over the French in North America to-
day.
Horace Walpole said: “A volley
fired at Great Meadows in 1754 by a
young American in the backwoods of
Virginia, set the whole world on fire.
Not only England and France were
affected by it, but every country in
Europe was touched, and it settled
for,ever the supremacy of the English
over tho French on America’s soil.
William '..Makepeace Thackeray even
went further than this. He said: “It
is strange that in ,a savage rorest a
young Virginia officer should fire a
shot and wake up a war which was
to last sixty years and cost France all
of her American colonies, and sever
all of ours from us, and indeed create
a great Western Republic,” and later
added that “George Washington was
the most conspicuous character in
American history.”
Samuel White, another English wri-
ter, said: "In the wilds of America
was raised q hero that eclipsed the
glory of the Alexanders of Greece,
the Caesars of Rome, and the Hamp-
dens of Britain.”
Bradley in his "Fight with France
for North America,” published by
Constable & Co., Ixmdon, gives a full
account of,this event in history and
the results which follow,od the battle
of Great Meadows.
Governor Dinwiddle, of Virginia, in
1754 learned that the French were en-
croaching upon Virginia’s territory
along the Ohio river. He sent George
Washington, of Fredericksburg, Va.,
to demand that the French withdraw
their forces. They refused, and Wash-
ington was sent to force them. He
surprised them at Great 'Meadows, kil-
led their leader. Jumonville, and cap-
tured all of his men. Upon Jumon-
ville's body were found important pa-
pers which caused England and
France to take definite action.
This battle of Great Meadows was
in reality only a skirmish, but see th.3
results. Fort Duqense fell, Niagara
anti Ticonderoga were taken, the Ar-
cadians were driven from Nova Scotia,
Lake George was cleared, Crown
Point strengthened, Montcalm defeat-
ed at Quebec, Montreal fell, and the
peace of Paris signed in 1763.
, What did the English gain? .Can-
ada, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island,
the Islands in the St. I^awrence, the
river and harbor of Mobile, all dis-
puted territory between the Allegha-
nies and tlie Mississippi, and free nav-
igation of the Mississippi river—and
that volley was fired by our George
Washington of Virginia.
I certainly call this one of the his-
torical sins of omission. Why? Be-
Subject,
gained by that transaction? All the
territory from the Gulf of '.Mexico on
the south, and the Mississippi river
on the east to the Rocky mountains on
the west. The “Father of Waters”
was left to flow unhindered to the sea.
Just here is an opportunity to pay
tribute where tribute is due. It was
a Northern man, not a Southern man,
Robert R. Livingston, of New York, j
with James Monroe of Virginia, who
manipulated this Louisiana Purchase
with Talleyrand in France, and made
it possible for Thomas Jefferson to
complete it.
Supremacy Over Spain.
Still another historical sin of omis-
sion that must not be overlooked. How
did we gain supremacy over Spain in
North America if not through South-
ern statesmen? The first permanent
settlements were of course by the
Spaniards; the second were by the
French, and the third by the English.
Therefore to 'Spain belongs the credit
of the oldest city in the United States,
St .Augustine in Florida, the oldest
church in Pensacola, Florida, and the
oldest house in the United States in
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The Spaniards in 'Florida became
very troublesome to the Carolinas and
to Georgia in colonial days. Finally,
in 1742, and that was much earlier
than the battle of Great Meadows,
they determined to take possession of
all the land on the eastern shore from
the boundary of Florida on the south
to the St. Lawrence river on the
north, from sea to sea, which includ-
ed all land claimed by the thirteen
colonies. Their plan was’ to conquer
colony by colony, and this would not
have been difficult, and the colonists
knew it, for they were weak in mili-
tary strength, and also weakened con-
stantly by repeated attacks from the
Indians. So with fifty-six vessels well
armed and well provisioned, and 5,000
well equipped men. the Spaniards
started out with a feeling of absolute
victory. The "Baby Colony,” Georgia,

Ogelthorpo had only two poorly arm-
ed and provisioned ships, but he had
682 brave Georgians and they taught
tho Spaniards a lesson that day at
Bloody Marsh which they never for-
got.. These Georgians trailed in the
dust the Spanish flag for the first time
on America’s soil, and never again
did Spain trouble the colonies along
the eastern shores. To James Ogel-
thorpe, Noble Jones, and two brave
Scotch Highlanders, Sutherland and
Macka.v, is due the credit of this vic-
tory. ' Bloody Marsh is on,e of the de-
cisive battles of modern history, for
it unquestionably turned back the tide
of Spanish invasion and gave the An-

British empire 21 years ago, when he
was the principal figure in the siefe
of Chitral.
Robertson’s campaigning experien-
ces began immediately upon his join-
ing the Indian Medical Service in 1878,
after finishing his medical training in
London. He saw fighting in the Af-
ghan war of 1879-80, and for the eight
years following worked in the various
districts of India as a civil surgeon.
He was then transferred to duty on
the Kashmir frontier. Because of hie
success in dealing diplomatically with
the tribesmen, he was made chief po-
litical officer with the Hunza-Xaga ex-
pedition of 1891-92. Afterward he un-
dertook a mission to Gor, and had 6
narrow escape when besieged by the
natives.
These little wars attracted no at-
tention in the world at large and Dr.
Robertson was unknown to Chitral,
at the extremity*bf the tribal country
over which the government of India
exorcises its influence. His instrntf
tioiis were to control the external af-
fairs of Chitral in a direction friendly
to British interests.
War now broke out in Chitral with *
the murder of its potentate as the
result of the ambitious projects of
Unira Khan. Robertson, with his
British and Sikh force of 543 men,.in-
cluding 137 non-combatants were ha-
sieged between March 4 and April 20,
1895, when relief was effected by a
British expedition after great hard-
ship. Robertson was severely wound-
ed. But the gallantry- and determina-
tion of himself and his force, so nec-
essary for the maintenance of British
prestige, won him fame and honora.
He later returned to Ragland and en-
tered parliament.
