PROHIBITION PETITION
State Anti-Saloon League viii Pro-
pose Statewide Prohibition Bill.

Mitchell, Nov. 20.-Announcement
is just made from the offices of the
South Dakota Anti-Saloon league in
this city of the action of the state
board of trustees of the league in de-
claring for statewide prohibition for
South Dakota at their last annual
business meeting, which vas held
here about a month ago.
At that meeting the matter was
thrashed out and it was the unani-
nous opinion of those present that
the time has come when the liquor
traffic should be driven from the
state. 1t was pointed out that every
temperance law for which any fight
has been made in recent years is now
on the statute books and that with
the other states going dry SO rapidly
South Dakota should also enter the
lists.
1t is expected that an initiative pc.
tition with a copy of the proposed Law
attached, will be circulated soon anc
submitted TO the legislature, which
meets in January. 1t is expected thai
a vote will be had in November, 1915
and antisaloon league officials ex
press their belief. based on a canvass
of the state. that 1t will carry.

The Belgian peasant has in many
districts no home in which to sleep
no seed to SOW, nc implements with
which to work, no transport to reach
a market, and finally no heart to
struggle against the inevitable.
1T is unbelievable that war ever
produced such a complete and tragic
paralysis as we saw in many parts q
Belgium. 1t cannot be attributed to
lack of courage on the part of the
civilian population or to the inhu-
manity of the conquerer. 1t is simp-
ly war up to date; civilized Christian
war.
There were thousands of children
all afraid TO laugh. Like their moth
ers, they seemed spellbound by the
melancholy fascination of the ruins
in which they found shelter. The
contrast between them and the con
tented song loving German soldier is
appalling.
The Germans, who throughout
treated us with the greatest courtesy
and consideration, are clearing the
debris from the water fronts so that
the shipments of relief supplies from
America can be landed in the various
towns without difficulty. They are
also working on the canals and prom
