beater thanany oteer man on this
side of the Atlantic has an article in
The Outlook on 'Plrohibition in Rua -
s115," which Oontains a reference of
50010 importance to the effect of Pro-
hibition on the Russian as a lighting
man. There is no more reliable sol-
dier in learope than the Russian pea-
sant. Hitherto he has frequently been
led by' drunken and reckless officers,
whose one good quality was courage.
Alt this is now changed., The Russian
army has been recreated. Here is
Mr. Kennaa's idea of how the trans -
f ()relation has been brought about:
"Unelliciai but apparently trustworthy,
reports, from Petrograd state that
vodka, wine and all aleholic drinke
have been banished froM the tablet" of
the Grand Duke Nicholas and the
Russian officers at the,frorit. No one
Who has sot been with the armies of
the Czar in previous wars can fully
appreciate the extraordinary impor-
tance and significance of this innova-
tion. If the Russian armies ia Ger-
niany and Austria are fighting more
effectively now than in any previous
campaign, may i13 not be because they
are led by sober, eleer-headed officers
and because the soldiers know it ?"
