HOW IT \VORKEl> OCT
All of us have hoard the old
assertion that if one hundred
men wore placed 0:1 sui island, pro
vided with everything they needed
aud loft to shift for themselves, at
the cud of a year one of them
would be in possession of all they
had and the others would be In
dibt to him. But while professing
to believe this, a good many of us,
down in our hearts, doubted that it
was really true. Pride, naturally,
rebelled against it.
Cut it has been tried out in Sing
Sing prison, though without any
intention of doing so. Warden Os
borne, who is making a number of
Interesting experiments with the
prisoners, has organized them iato
something that is like the Ameri
can, self-governing community,
with imitation money given for
each day's work and exchangeable
for prison comforts aud necessities.
The system is, to a certain extent,
like tha'. used iu the instruction of
business college students, with the
difference that the bogus money
has the value of real money In
the prison.
How did it work out? At the
end rf two weeks a few of the
shrewd and thrifty inmates were
the "rich" men of the prison and
most of the others were thtsir debt
ors. AVhen the day to pay board
bills came, the 'wo banks starte.!
by the prisoners could not meet the
demands of the depositors because
they could not collect their loans
and straightway "busted." The re
sult was that hundreds of the con
victs avoided hunger only by pleJg
ing wages vet to be earned.
Perhaps the lesson will be re
membered by thoso prisoners and
perhaps it will not. But millions
outside the walls of Sing Sing need
i» as much as they do.
A KESP1TJC FOR RUSSIA
British aid French attacks in
France and Belgium and Ger
man haste to begin the invasion of
Serbia, probably because the need
or the Turks for help is urgent,
have combined to give Russia a res
pite -which came none too 6oon.
German and Austro-Hungarian
forces In Russia have lately been
fightinc mainly on the defensive. *
Russian troops still hold tbe
northeastern corner of Galicia,
which is Austro-Hungarian terri
tory, and the czar's armies ore at
the very border of Bukowina, if not
actually across the frontier at some
points. It is only east of the Ger
man province of East Prussia and
In Russian Poland and the terri
tory eastward that the Muscovite
forces are very far back of their
o*n boundaries.
In Armenia, also, the Russian
armies are having little pressure to
withstand except when and where

are attmpting nothing on a large
