Bvll effects that follow tho use of aleohcllc drlhks are set forth by l.l-year old Samuel Shiclcrawt, a pupil of the Northeast School, tth and Baco streets, In nn essay. Samuel's composition has attracted, much attention nt the school.

Samuel's mother Is dead and his father lliei In Cnnndn.

He Is determined to ctny In the United Stntes where, he says, "everything Is free nnd tho common people have a chance." HI composition en alcoholism reads In part as follows: "The meaning of the word ntcohol In a dictionary Is 'pure nnd rectified The mennlng of tho lesult Is 'The destruction of Whether It Is beer, whiskey, wine, brnnily, rum, gin, malt or nny other nlcohollc liquor, It Is not harmful because of Its quantity, but because of Its quality.

Tho control of olunlnry muscles Is lost when a person Is diunk and only deep breathing may bo the only sign of life.

They are competing for the prizes offered for scoutcraft. The camp "navy." consisting of row-boats anil ennocs, wns launched yesterday with appropriate ceremonies. Tho "flagship." a St. Lawrence skiff obtained by Harry Hart, of tho Executive Scout Council, was brought down tho river through very rough water. Sovoral prominent speakers will address the Bcouts at tho evening cnmpflro meetings.

A branch of tho American Red Cross llfo saving corps has been established at tho camp. Rocky Spring Farm, on tho estate of Clarko Thompson, near Media, which was offered to the Boy Scouts for week-end trips, is admirably suited for tho purpose, according to a report mado today at headquarters by Patrol Leader Archibald Dinsmore, of Troop 67, whose patrol was designated to mako a report. About 120 ncrcs of hilly country, with thickly wooded nreaB, offer excellent opportunities for all branches of scouting. A small strenm. Trout Run, could bo easily dammed for swimming.

Police Court Chronicles Tho fountain of tears owned exclusively by Mark Gablo Is Inexhaustible. Ho can cry on any or all occasions whether It bo for a dog struck by a trolley or tho death of a neighbor's baby. Ills wholo-salo sympathy has won him the tltlo of "Crying Mark." Mark's natural tendency to gloominess aids matters In this respect. He could look nt a bunch of monkeys lighting In a. barrel of molasses without cracking a smile.

Gablo was crying at 2d and Master streets becauso he heard that a man who used to live In tho neighborhood died a few days ago. Ills grief was bo loud that It annoyed less sympathetic persons who wanted to sleep. Policeman Jimmy Doylo witnessed Mark's grief and thought It would be bettor to let him weep quietly In a cell. At the Front and Master streets station, Gable said that his sister had Just died. Magistrate Scott was extenduig sympathy when several cops testlged that Mark had a death In the family every time he was arrested.

Tho "Judge" noticed Incidentally that the prisoner could only stand when he was leaning against something so he made him take tho pledge. Mark readily agreed nnd after resting a bit he was discharged. Ho wept with Joy at getting off so easily. IT GENTLY IM NOkVISfc. CONLwers Sektiment.

GRETNA Fair Weather and Brisk Wind Aid First and Second Infantry in Making Ready for Philadelphia Contingent. MOUNT aitETN'A, July skies nnd a warm sun this morning, following In the nake of yesterdny'a torrential rains, iiulckly worked wonders for tho advance details of the 1'hlladelphla regiments, who nre engaged today In a desperate effort to make up for their enforced Idleness of yesterday. The sandy formation of tho ground here permits of a rapid absorption of nil moisture, and these natural conditions were nlded by a stiff wind nnd plenty of sunshine.

Hnpld progress Is being made In the camps of tho 1st and 2d Infantry, nnd there Is every promlso that beforo tho main body of the Philadelphia soldiers rearhen enmn tonluht nil will havo been made ready for their coming. 1 not to bo accomplished without unceasing effort on tho pan of 1) hi being urged to their best clforts by the olllccia in ehnigo, Ciiptulu 1).

Meanwhile, Captain Caleb J.

Tho camps of the 3d nnd Uh Hrlgades were opened this morning, with theso command assembled before Division Headquarters, whero they passed In le-vlow before Major General C. How Dougherty. The formalities wore brief, consisting of raising tho flag whllo tho massed bands played tho "Star-Spangled Banner." Almost Immediately following their return to quarters tho soldiers wero tnken out for their first Instruction of the week, consisting of drills In battalion and regl-nicntnl formations.

All of tho regimental commands nrrlved on scheduled time anil had their quarters In shape before tho first assembly call waB sounded. PHILADELPHIA REGIMENTS WILL LEAVE CITY T0XH.HT Tho 1st Iirlgndc, composed of rcgl-monts from Philadelphia, will leave this city tonight and, Joining the 3d Hrlgado at tho new enenmpment, will swell tho forco there to 7000 men. All the guardsmen will remain In camp seven'ilnys. Tho first troops to leavo this city tonight will be tho 3d Itcgimcnt, which will entrain at Ilroad Street Station at 8 o'clock. Tho 2d Itcglmeiit will entrain at tho Heading Terminal at 8:5 o'clock, and tho 1st Ilcglment from tho same station at 9 o'clock.

The Hat-tallon of tho 6th Itcgimcnt will leavo West Philadelphia Stntlon at 10 o'clock. In view of tho fact that the sabre Is little used In modern warfore. Colonel Turner, of the 2d Infantry, has advised his officers not to bring this weapon. Tim guard has been provided with a semirigid campaign hat, having i Montana, peak, much llko thoso worn by tho regulars, and nil guardsmen nt tho camp aro expected to wear them. With this exception, tho troops will be clad ns usual In the ollo drab summer uniform and will depart In heavy marching order.

Polloning Governor Brumbaugh's order that there shall bo no liquor In camp, supplementary orderM have been Issued forbidding liquor to be carried on tho trains An additional order limits mabbago of enlisted men to that carried on the field wagon, and any porsonnl baggago must bo carried by them. It Is also understood that absentees from the camp will bo dealt with summarily this year, orders having been Issued thnt nil such be arrested and brought to camp to face court-martial. Tho Philadelphia troops of tho 1st Brigade aro to bo located near Fountain Field, In the Colebrook section. There will not bo a sham battle this year, in the opinion ot tho ofllcers In charge of the troops from this city. ORDER OF CLINKS FORMED FOR DRINKS New Organization Asserts Its Right to Have Liquor When It Wants It.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Clinks Is the name of a new organization which has been founded for the purpose of checking the wave of prohibition. It Is asserted by tho Clinks that a man has the right to do as ho pleases as long as he does not Interfere with the rights of others. A man may eat what ha chooses, they contend, therefore why should he not suit himself In regard to drink. It's a personal affair, the Clinks assert, to say the least. Tho name "Clink" was decided upon because Its members Intend to make their noise of protest heard throughout the country.

1 They believe that glasses can be clinked In sociable comradeship without demoralizing results. The contents of the glasses, It Is asserted, have nothing to do with the cuse. It's not what's In the glass, it Is declared, but what's In the man. Mix your drinks with common sense, they suggest, and your thirst will not affect the community. The organization, which wan launched at Elizabeth, Is approved by many saloonkeepers In this city.

John Logan, president of the Itetall Liquor Dealers' Association, said: "I believe that such an organization will give a square deal to alt concerned, and by cooperating with other bodies opposed to prohibition there would be beneficial results, Regarding the liquor question, I have frequently suggested that if both sides would get together the objectionable features of the liquor business could easily be removed, but such a severe remedy as prohibition Is out of the question." A. Boylan, who conducts a saloon at the northeast corner of 60th and Spruce streets, said: "I personally believe that a national movement such as suggested by the Clinks Will be a very good thing. It will help to Impress upon those win believe In extremes that others have rights as well as themselves. While I have no authority to speak for the Itetall Liquor Dealers' Association I believe, however, that It would Indorse the movement, and I will brlntr it before the association at the next meeting." According to the certificate of Incorporation filed with the County Clerk of lSllzabeth the purpose of the Clinks 14 "to teaeh a community respect for the right of Its Individuals and to oppose if)QVments which Interfere with the right of the individual citizen to do as he pleases, so long as he does not Interfere with the rights of other." "I don't consider the organization of Clinks seriously," said the Rev Homer W. Tope, district superintendent of the Pennsylvania Anti-Saloon League.

"The cropping up of these organizations sbowe that rum is on the run, and it will oniv be a matter of a short time when it will be at Its last trench There no hope of It gaining the ground which has been lest. AMONG THE A War Book Worth Reading There Is a lot of old English bosh In Cecil Chesterton's quite fnsciiiAtlng book, "The Prussian Hath Said In Ills Heart" (Laurence J. Oomme, New York). And that Is doubtless because In spite of what Shaw calls his "Latin brains," Chesterton possesses "a very solid eighteenth century Bngflsh stomach." Brains discriminate; stomach Is unanimous. Mr.

Chesterton's anatomy finds It Impossible to stomach not only Prusslanlsm, but anything clso connected with the German nation. Thus wo find him setting down such absurdities as: "Christian cnthedrats, which tho Prussian so loves to tittering half-truths like: "The history of Prussia after 1S70 was simply the history of a whole nation going slowly nnd Automatically trying' to annihilate Norman Angel by the cheap trick of calling him "a certain Mr. Lane, 1 believe." And thus wo find him convicting Germany of atheism by tho easy method of Identifying social and International Jus-tiro with deity, but not with Germany, and throwing more emphasis on such "nthelsin" than on autocracy nnd Injustice such ns all tho reverent old kings of Christendom set store by. But It Is easy to throw such small matters of dialectics aside and seize the energizing meat of Mr. Chesterton's nr-gumeut nnd of his style.

Ills brilliance Is of a less mannered sort than his "prodigious brother's," G. K. but it comports ns well with hli meaning. It carrleB him over tho difficulty of Germany's manifest churehly zeal with: "Tho Fool ot Holy Scripture, it should be remembered, was ho who said, not In Hydo Park, but in his heart, that thero was no God." It clinches with extraordinary forccfulness tho nrgument that tho vilely materialistic and nntl-Chrlat spirit of Frederick tho Great, mado Prussia what It was and Is In splto of oven so admirable a character ns William I. Kven under such a ruler Prusslanlsm still went on becauso "tho wilt of the Individual king counted for nlmost ns little ns tho will of tho people.

The thing that governed and still governs Trussla wns a tradition. Tho autocrat of Prussia had a signal ndvantnge over nil the other tyrants of tho earth. He was dead." Manifestly, In the face nf such vlgoroui writing nnd vigorous thinking, one Is quite ready to disregard not only eccentric trimmings but opinions on tho per-mnnenco ot war nnd tho annihilation of tho Gorman Empire, nnd the declaration that this I a war, on the Allies' side, of "frco peasants, men who own their own land. Independent alike of landlord nnd public olllclal" nil of which may strike tho Individual reader ns quite as mistaken or ridiculous ns Mr. Chesterton's ignorance of tho Russian menaco which will succeed tho Prussian unless revolution Intervenes.

nvcry war book demands allowances. Mr. Chesterton's rewnrds them. Train vs. Wells Beforo tho war broko out almost In splendid prophecy II.

G. Wells wrote "Tho World Set Fice." Therein the discovery of means for using atomic energy brought tho end of war. Out of Its cataclysmic rightfulness rose parliament ot man that hct the world at last In order. Now, with tho Great War as prompter and scientist ns collaborator, comes Arthur Train to do Mr. Well's Job nil over agnln.

But In what a different way and strain! Tho tltlo tells tho story "Tho Man Who Rocked the World" (Doubledny, Pogo Garden City. N. Welt's outlook Is broadly socinl; Mr. Train is manufacturing nn adventure story with a heio. So a single man discovers how to genernto rodlant energy of tho atoms, sets up his machinery In Labrador nnd announces that unless the world stops Its present Insano fighting, ho will turn tho whole of Europe Into a polar region.

As nn earnest, he shifts the earth's nxls a bit. ndds five minutes to Thursday nnd blows up tho AtlaB Mountains. As for solution, subhero tracks down "Pax," ns tho genius calls himself. Just after hehas been killed In the beginning of his- destruction of Europe, nnd comes off with the secret of the trick. Europe, of course, settles down to pence; but there Is no such illumination of scientific nnd social progress as comes from "A World Set Free."

A bit discursive In narration and a bit loose In plotting, Joe Lincoln Is in this "story," lather than novel, of a legacy of a house, a mortgage, a "hant," a close-fisted curmudgeon (what Is known nowadays as a and a somewhat active Dan Cupid; but tho dialect and conceits nro as entertaining as those In his previous yams, which Is a high standard of praise. American Issues Through Alien Eyes Baron Estournelles de Constant Is the Gallic counterpart of VUcount Bryce, so It Is hardly correct to call so seeing and understanding an observer alien, except In the strict Bcnso of national allegiance. So In "America and Her Problems" (Mac-Mlllan Company, New York), he has viewed the contemporary Issues and questions which concern, disturb or perplex our people with sympathetic eyes. The author's extended travel, employed Judiciously and copiously through a rare fa cility for observation, his clear-cut logio and his marked sense of values, grounded In thorough economic and historical studies, make these chapters of prime importance. And of no less Interest are hit stimulative interpretations and his sympathetic vision for the future, "The Bride of the Sun" To Gaston Leroux is due great praise for his very excellent story of the Incas, "The Bride of the Sun" (McBrlde, Nasi New York).

His earlier books, "The Mystery of the Yellow Room" and "The Perfume of the Lady in Black," were very attractive, but his latest should easily equal them in popularity. It wns to be expected that his Btory of the Incas would be fascinating, and the reader will not be disappointed. The weird oustom of offering human sacrifice and the terrifying experiences of the heroine are all so vividly told that the reader is loath to lay the book aside. It Is a good story told in a good way, TWO SINNERS By Mrs. David G.

681 Fifth New Yorjc. NEW BOOKS A GERMAN FOE Pnul Horvleu, the noted French playwright, ns seen through German eves. Good Old-Fashioned "Detective" Fiction with as many shifts of scenery ns In "Monto Crlsto." ns many Italics In the text as In 0110 ot dear old Archlo Gunter's yarns nnd with ns many npparcntly Insurmountable obstacles as year's series of tho Immortal Nick Carter weekly, "Tho Hand of Peril" (The Macmlllan Company, Now York), by Arthur Stringer, Is as cleverly contrived nnd narrated as the plus of any three recent detective stories. At a time when authors of his school aro endeavoring to rise superior to Its conventions, nnd endeavoring to make their sleuths piychologlsts, neurologists, diplomats, savants ot cigar ashes or clay footprints, Mr. Htrlngor frnnkly nnd unashamedly dusts off all the old tricks and employs them effectively In his bully yarn of the shrowd crlmo detective, the beautiful artist forger and the gang ot ingenious counterfeiters, who sought to corrupt the currency of entire nations by wholcsnlo utterance of phony banknotes.

Detectives of recent creation aro In aspect, manner or method anything but detectives, nnd they would Bhuddcr to pull nnythlng so commonplace as a revolver when hypnosis or other metaphysical weapons wero ready In the arsenal. Criminals, as Is well known, can be cowed by suggestion that Is, criminals In scientific llctlon. Neither Mr. Stringer's heroes nor villains nrc at nil scientific, nnd among them they own and use several kinds ot pistols on exciting occasions. To bo precise, thcro Is nn exciting situation on every other page, with frequent Intercalary thrills, Just for good measure.

And tho pages' minus a thrill nro not dull cither. "Tho Hand of Peril" Is a refreshingly romantic, thrllllnglv effective detective story of the old school, but told In terms of modern reality. German View of American Literature Journalism has brought Czernowltz to the consciousness of tnnt vast majority of Americans who knew It not In the geographies. The "scare" headline has done what the ntlas could not do. "Muscovite Drives" nnd "Slav Raids" of the Bukowlna crownlnnd, followed by successive bombardments and nltcrnnte occupations of tho capital by the Ilusslans nnd Austrian, havo established the existence or Czernowltz, even If It Is reared Into being, as far ns Americans are concerned, merely to be destroyed aa the target of high-power artillery.

Professor Kellner has contributed "American Literature" to "The American Series" (Doubledny, Page Garden City. L. I The author Is well known ns a philological disciple of Schlp-per, and his work on English accidence, In collaboration with Henry Bradley, is standard.

Ono of the frulta of his study Is this first-hand, flrst-rnto brief survey of American literature, Informed with penetration nnd sympathy and viewed from different perspective American literature seen through the lenses of German scholarship presents same curious aspects and angles, but the results, while novel, are stimulating.
