Reporis from the Russian Fighting , Fronts Show the Wastage of Enemy. A despatch from Petrograd says: • "We have mastered the situation, and the action will develop according to our initiative," is the report sent by ' Gen. Ruszky, the Russian commander who leads the army on the Dvinsk front against Field Marshal von Hin- denburg. "The enemy is demoralized, and its backbone broken," Gen. Rus- zky -adds. Those words apparently are con- firmed by the German casualty lists Published recently, which show that the enemy has lost 85,000 men in the last few weeks on the Russian front. Russian military observers are find- ing frequent indications that the Ger- man lines on this front are growing increasingly thin. These are furnish- ed by reports from the fighting lines, notably from the sector north-east of Riga.As an instance it is stated that in capturing the passage between two marshes, the Russians found the sole defenders of the positions to be two Germans with machine guns. pleted, a ,patient disregards them and applies to another practitioner."

The Literary Digest, September 18, 1915, has an article, the first sentence of which reads, "The • impulse to drunkenness is disease." After point- ing out that men drink for various reasons, it says that those who "drink to get drunk are abnormal; they are diseased." This fact has been brought out distinctly in the psy- chopathic laboratory ef the Chicago Municipal Court. Judge Olson of the Court says, "We have yet to find the first case of the kind where there is not a tendency to epilepsy, dementia, praecox, manic depressive insanity, or feeble mindedness." All this means that the man who frequently gets drunk is of unsound mind -and should be so treated. In Kansas they send chronic drunkards to an asylum for the insane. In Ohio they have an in- stitution to whoch the habitual drunk- ard may be sent by the judge on ap- plication by the friends until lie is considered cured. I knew a clever young man Who went to an asylum and begged the Superintendent to take him in for a year till he would have a chance to break oft. There are many such pitiful cases for which these is no provision made, in spite of the revenue froin the traffic that causes it. It is a serious reflection on our civilization that there is no provision made for this class, most of them the victims of the license system. We see such men going down for years, wasting their substance in drink, beg- garing their families and beCeming a nuisance and often a menace to so- • ciety, and little or nothing is dope to help them. They- sometimes try desperately to break off, but what hope in the presence of the open bar- room and the treating custom? The physician is not, allowed to send them to any institution unless he is very rich. There is neither hope nes help for him till Ile becomes insane or com- mits 4 erime. But what canned thiS (t*agell conditioh? "The curse cause- less shall not come." Statisticsgen- erally point to a drinking father or grandfather.
