ENGLAND AND DRINK.
(Seattle P.-I.)
'I he propaganda of abstention from
alcoholic drink has by no means found
the favor In England that It also found
in others of the nations at war. While
Itussla and France have cut at the
lieari of vodka intemperance by pro
hibiting tlie use of vodka and absinthe,
without any discussion or criticism,
England demurs strongly at the pro
posal to cut off spirits or even the beer
allowance. This objection is not only
voiced by the laboring people, but by
tiic temporal and spiritual lords as
The archbishop of York expresses
tiic fear that absolute prohibition would
result in a dangerous relapse to intem
perance with the passing of the war
dangers. The convocation of Canter
Inn > recommended a propaganda of
partial or complete abstinence, to be
measured by the individual according
to his ability to control himself. On
the part of the church there has been
a general expression that complete and
arbitrary abstention would react disas
trously. The temporal lords are equal
ly unconvinced of the desirability of
prohibition, and many of them ex
press their willingness to give up their
lives for England, but not their liquor.
This is England’s old way of meet
ing ni w isues. The people, high and
low. are not disposed to change their
habits or the environment of their
daily lives. The X.Tnlted States is a
separate national entity today because
England refused to meet new respon
sibilities to its colony with any con
cessions. In the light of a necessity
that would have been obvious to any
• less obstinate people.
England is now fighting for its na
tional life with a resourceful and pow
erful enemy. Its. people have need of
every quality of mind and body that
may contrlbtue to success. If intoxi
cating liquor in any way deprives its
people or its armies of any measure
of power, then liquor should go, re
gardless of any theory of possible re
action In the future.

MEN WHO INSPIRE.
(Phialdelphia Hedger.)
! i
We all—if we have any kind of
worthiness in ourselves—aspire to meet
"big’’ men. Sometimes we call them
"men who do things." We are not \
very clear as to the things that estab
lish their title to dwell as stars in our
sky. But we seem, when in their
presence, to be caught up into a su
perior eliler. They seem to leave an
kinds of trivial things in the low, fog
hung valley bottoms, very far below
tiie mountain peaks.
Yet they are not out of touch with
their own times, or with, the thoughts
and acts of men. On the contrary, as
with the ancient Roman, all that is
human concerns them. Their conver
sation—so clear and fluent, touching so
many points, yet with a continuity of
feeling and a consistent personality—
dues not give us to feel that our own
selves and lives are despicably ordi
nary. But they open windows upon
new range vistas for us. They invite
us into a whole new range of experi
ence and emotion. Perhaps they do
not crowd many facts, as such, upon
our attention. The best teachers have
not been the most statistical or even
tiie most "informational.” They have
taught us where to look and how to
lind things. And so these great (not
necessarily these famous) people whom
it has been our rare pri\ liege to meet
—if only for a flash of time—have
swung new firmaments, new p’anets,
into our range of vision.
COLD BATHS IMPROVE BLOOD.
(Good Health.)
A few years ugo the remarkable dis
covery was made by Prof. Winternitx,
I of Vienna, that general cold baths have
the effect of increasing the number of
! active cells of the blood In a very re
! markable extent, the increase some
times amounting to one-fifth or even
I
more.
The writer has repeated these ex
| pcriments, and has found the results
j to be as indicated. The white corpus
cles are Increased to a much larger
J extent than the red cells, sometimes
j being nearly doubled. The increase is
j observed within half an hour after a
'general cold bath, when reaction has
taken place. It must not be supposed,
: however, that the cells added to the
blood are actually formed in this short
time. There is little doubt that the
' increase in the number of cells which
| may be counted in the blood Is due to
lthe fact thih cells which have been held
! idle In some deeply seated part are
I brought out Into the active circulation
I by means of the bath, and thus made
1 useful. The effect, however, is prac
tically the same as though new cells
I had been formed. This is one of the
ways in which the cold bath increases
the resisting power of the body, and
rallies the blood cells, so to speak, call
ing them out from their hiding places
and preparing them to tight with vigor
the battles which must be waged every
I moment in defense of the body.—J. H.

An estimate of the strength of the
Turkish forces available for the de
fense of Constantinople Is made by the
Fortnightly Review. It puts the
amount available at 440,000 men, made
up of 310.000 in Europe, 120,000 on the
Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, and
10.000 Germans. This is based upon a
supposition that Turkey has mobilized
about 800,000 men.
This is probably an exaggeration.
.1 edging from the strength of the Tur
kish army In the Balkan war a half
million men is the much more proba
ble maximum of armies In the field,
and when we deduct the forces oper
ating in the Caucasus. Mesopotamia
and threatening Egypt, it is not likely
that the army at and near Constantl
i ople is much over 250,000.
But at that the problem with which
the allies aer confronted at that point
is a serious one. It is evident that the
20.000 or 30,000 reported landed at Enos
is wholly insufficient. It must be mul
tiplied by at least five and perhaps
more before it will constitute a mate
rial threat against the Turkish capital.

THE TEST OF SILENCE.
What a hard test the test of silence
i inn > sometimes be! Usually we have
o know people very well to be able
11o endure being with them In silence,
(often It Is a long time before wo even
i venture to take the risk. The silence
j .f a few moments only may cause us
clatress.
i
And yet we may occasionally meet
i some one that on his first acqualnt
jance we find ourselves at ease with. It
(is js If a kind of harmony were ln
Jstantly established between us.
i When two people understand each
other, what wonderful things they can
convey in silence. I know a man who
(takes long walks through the country
| with a friend. For a stretch of many
| miles they will not speak. In that
I client companionship they find one of,
,'the greatest pleasures of companion- !
I ship.
In controversy the silent people have
la great adventage. They know how
! confusing and Irritating the talk Is
j likely to be. They reply only to the es
sential. provided, of course, they have
to reply at all. They develop a genius
for avoiding the unessential, which In
cludes the recriminating and the irri
tating.
Haven’t you seen the silent people
surrounded with strife, and haven’t you
noticed how untroubled they have been,
how serious? They are the masters
f silence. They are themselves si
lence.
It is in the presence of such people
throughout the world, here and there,
'n the most unexpected places, known
onlv to the few about them, that Car
lyle finds the security of our Institu
tions, the hope of the future.
