SO. Minister of Fi? nance P. Bark to-day received an order that the prohibition cf the sale of vodka rhall be continued indefinitely after tits end of the war. This order is based principally on the tremendously improved condition of the country since ed the edict prohibit? ing traffic in this liquor. Visitors arriving from Southern Rus? sia say there is such a chance in that region that the country is hardly recog? nizable.

Peasants who before the war had fallen into hopeless indolence and depravity already have emerged into self-respecting citizens. The towns have become more orderly, and the peasants indulge in wholesome amusements. These people now 55 per cent of their earnings, which formerly was for drink, and they have increased their earning capacity through sobriety. This extra money is now devoted to the ecessities and com? fort? of life. This startling regeneration of the peasantry is, in the opinion of the Rus? sian authorities, likely to have an im? portant effect on the social and eco? nomic conditions of all Russia.

A change in the large cities also is noticeable. Liquor still is sold in first class but these are practically empty. The Nevsky Prospect, once famous for its gay midnight life, is now quiet, without a sign of revelry. FRENCH ARCHITECTS EXPEL GERMANS Sept.

London, Sept. tales of tragic episodes of the war were issued by the Official Bureau to-night. The stories were taken from a book railed "Kriegschronik," which was seized from aliens en? tering Knglish ports.

The book consists, according to the bureau, "partly a highly untrustworthy chronicle of the war and partly of soldiers' letters from the front MAl showing the methods of thought of the enemy these last have considerable value," continues the bureau. "It is not the truth or falsity of the tales that matters, but the applause and self-congratulaion of the on deeds of gross treachery and cruelty claimed to have been done by themselves or comrades." "The Narrative of an Artillery Officer, on the Extermination of a Belgian Village," as given out by the bureau, follows: "The countryside was full of our troops Nevertheless, the stupid nerd shoot our men as they marched by, from lurking places. Day before yesterday morning the Prussian troops surrounded a village, put the women, children and old people aside and shot all the men. The village WM then burned to the ground." The story of the ihooting of a boy scout is given as follows: traitor just been shot, lie was a little French lad belonging to one of the gymnastic societies which wear the tri-colored young fellow who, in his infatuation, wanted to be a hero. "As the German column was passing along a wooded defile he was caught irt'l asked whether the French were about.

explanation yet has been advanced here of the dyna? miting yesterday of the railroad bridge at Tayo-Ho, six miles west of Wei Hsien, in Shan-tung Province, by Chi? nese troops. The Foreign Office said to-day that this action was not taken on order? of the War Department, and suggested that German railroad employes might have caused tho destruction. The For? eign Office has requested the British Legation in Peking to mediate this question of railroads between the Chi? nese and the Japanese.

By E. A. BEAMAN. Correspondent of The HOw THbun? and "London Paris, Sept. the last few doyo a new census of all foreigners in all towns and village? of France has been taken.

In Paris the recent cen? sus of the population taken by order of the Military Governor revealed not only that there were Germans and Aubtrians here who had not declared i themselves to the Commissary of Po lice, but others who had been refused residence permita in the provinces and bad come to Paris. Permission to stay in Paris was granted originally to a few Germans and Austrian? chiefly on account of illness, and these had to report them pelves at intervals to the police. All the permits have now been rigidly re-exam? ined, with the result that most of them have been caneelled and the aliens drafted off to new concentration campa in the south or extreme west, penetrat? ing even as far as the Chausey Islands, where it is presumable they will re? main until the end of the war. In this way the risk of spies dwelling in the heart of Franee is considerably mini? mized. The police are indefatigable in their efforts to capture these un? desirable members of the population Indeed, they seem to act on the prin? ciple that every foreigner must be re? garded a spy until proved not to bo one.

The famous Italian novelist and poet, Gabriele d'Annunzio, has not lait Paris, as he says he never found the city more delightful. He finds the calm, silent nights most inspiring and never enjoyed evening walks in the and along the quays much as now. The other evening he stopped on the Pont des Arts to i jot down imprcsions, but to the vigi 1 lant police he was merely a loitering foreigner making notes in an unknown Ir.r.guage while the rest of Paris was ng, so accordingly he was marched off to a police station, where he was released, with many apologies, i at the end of an hour. On a par with the disgraceful rifling of the Brussels Museum of miniatures and old jewelry by German officers is the thieving habit of German soldiers on the battlefields. French wounded State that often men who carry stretch? ers for the German ambulante corps I demand as the first question, "What I money or valuables have you?" If he says he has none, the soldier, bo he French or German, is left where he is.

It is certainly true that numbers of German prisoners have on them French rotes and gold, and sometimes watches and rings. Some of them have even been overcome with a tardy remorse, confessed theft and given up the sto? len goods. Many prisoners have on them their soldier notebooks in which is written, laboriously, French with a German word-for-word translation alongside: "A lot to eat; some good wine, a good bed; otherwise you'll be shot." This is apparently the gentle money-or your-life formula of the Prussian 35 SCHOOLGIRLS TO BE EXCHANGED London, Sept. 30.

SAY GERMANS FIRE ON RED CROSS FLAG Need of Warm Clothing Is Now Foreseen, and Million Women Are Ready to Help. Cable to 1 Paris, Sept. a change of weather, the French people suddenly realized the need not only of improvement In the care of the sick and wounded, but of ample supplies of warm clothing for their Georges Clemenceau, the ex-Premier, I ha? been conducting a characteristic campaign on this subject in his news? paper, "L'Homme Libre." Last night we were informed that? "L'Homme Ubre" had been suspended i for eight days because its editor had1 refused to suppress certain passages in I an article on army medical services which had been condemned by the general commanding at Toulouse. Wo probably hear more of this inci? dent, for the tiger is not likely to take such punishment calmly.

Meanwhile there are many voices, r.ot complaining, but making repre? for there can be no com? plaining spirit where every one recog? nizes the efforts that have been and are being made to cope with unpre? cedented difficulties. Undoubtedly the energies of ali official staffs, doctors, nurses, stretcher-bearers, transport and hospital accommodation, have been strained to the utmost Tho govern? ment plead? that there have been oc? casions when not only the wounded have been picked up under Are on the field, but that those under treatment in th? field hospitals have had to be removed because they were tired upon by German artillery. There are 170 French hospital trains, capable of carrying 100,000 wounded, but evidently very few of these could be concentrated upon any given battle? field, however great the need. It is said that field hospital? containing 500 men have had to be suddenly evacu? ated because the Germans would not respect the Red Cross. Apart from that, however, the immense number? of men gathered within such an area as that to the north of the Aisne and the continuity of the fighting must inevita? bly result in a strain upon hospital ser? vices altogether beyond anything ex periene? 4 in preceding wars.

Hence the sad scenes, of which there have been so many, when the wounded sol? dier must be content with pile of straw in a horse truck or slow-going train and the charity of villagers at the waysid? stations which it passes. Impatient people ask why civilian and even amateur assistance is not en more freely. They do not under? stand how difficult it is to combine military and civilian services, and how difficult it is to organize help which in the nature of the case cannot be sub? mitted to the full rigor of official rules. Indeed, it is exactly the faculty of powerful organization, one of the rare human faculties, that is most strained by the immeasurable demand like that of to-day. Thousands and tens of thousand? of women and men are devoting them? selves gallantly to softening the blow? of war.

Every effort is being made to co-ordinate the work of the two gov? ernment departments, the Health Ser? vice and tho Assistance Publique, and the societies, constituting the French Bed Cross and other philanthropic groups, but to that efficiency at every point from immediately behind the fighting line to a sanatorium on the Spanish frontier, where good sur? gical aid, medical supplies, food and competent nursing are always avail? able, is a gigantic if not an impossible task. The provision of warm clothing to protect the soldiers against the cold and wet months that are coming should be easier, for a million women and girls who are left at home will be only too glad to knit socks, mufflers and gloves, and to make shirts, too, if they can get the ALL BUT 3 PORTS IN INDIA CLOSED 'Vaghington, Sept. to-day announcing that Great Britain had named Rangoon, Calcutta and Madras as the only ports through which foreigners could enter Indiu was explained at the British Embassy us another precaution against the wide? spread campaign of German espionage in English territory.

"Austria looks upon this war as a purely defensive one," says Count Berchtold, Austria's Minister of For? eign Affairs, in an interview in Vienna with the representativo of "The New? ark (S. Evening News," which was copyrighted by that paper and pub- lished in its columns yesterday.

Adding that the war was "forced on Austria by the agitation directed by Kussia against her very existence," he says: "Austria-Hungary has given many proo.s in late years of her peaceful in? tention. She refrained from any in "iference with arms in the Balkan war, although her interests were at stake. Subsequent events have proved what a serious danger the increase in territory and prestigo which it brought Servia were for Austria-Hungary. "Servia's ambitions have since grown and have been solely directed against the Dual Monarchy. Russia has tacitly approved of Servia's action because Russian statesmen wish to form an iron ring of enemies around Austria Hungary and Germany, in order that.

Russia's grasp on Constantinople and rn Asia should never again be meddled with. Austro-Hungarian soldiers are for their homes and for the maintenance of their country; the' Russians are lighting to help the Rus- Czar to gain the rule of the world, to destroy all his neighbecs who may I be dangerous to Russian ambitions. "England is helping the Russians to oust her German rival. She feared for i some time that German culture and I German scientific methods would prove the stronger in a peaceful competition, and she now hopes to crush Germany with the help of Russia and France. And France is fighting to win buck Al? sace-Lorraine, to take her revenge on Germany, which the French nation has been aiming at for the last forty-four years.

"That is how Austria-Hungary looks upon the war. She never wished for territoria' increase; she wished for peace and that her people should de? velop in safety. "Germany equally had nothing to gain by a war, but Germany knows that Austria-Hungary's enemies are her enemies and that the dismember? ment of the Hapsburg monarchy would mean the isolation of the German Em? pire."
