FOUR MORE STATES
TO VOTE DRY IN
T0DAv'S ELECTION
Victory for Prohibition Expect
ed in Ohio. Colorado, Wash
ington and Oreeon-Califor-
MIA and Arizona May Be Wet

Orr. James Cannon. Jr.. Superin-
tendent OF the Anu-Saloon League of
Virginia, returned yesterday from a
visit TO Ohio. where he went 20 meet
with the Headquarters Committee OF
the National Anti-Saloon League,
composed of representatives of all the
States of the Union.
me meeting was enthusiastic and
reports from all over the country
were received. The entry af Vfr-
ginia into the prohibition column was
the cause Of much qualification. DR..
Cannon was told that before Septem-
Der 22 the Ohio voters had been
somewhat doubtful over the prospects
OF prohibition in that State AZ the
election today. but that the day after
the news of Virginia's record vote
was received 1t was freely stated that
If Virginia was willing to try pro-
hibition tho people OF Ohio would be
also.
DR.. Cannon stated that the pros
poets are that Ohio will go for prohi-
bition today II the election Is fairly
conducted in the large cities. A great
fight has been made and he was sur
prised at the great interest and en-
of the State. The total Ohio vote will
reach a million. it is thought. and
many large cities are to vote.
Vote In Five Other States.
In Ave other States the prohibition
question Will be voted on today.
Washington and Oregon. DIR. Cannon
stated. sent reports that they will go
dry. and there is every reason to be-
lieve that this will be the case, as both
of these States are enthusiastic over
tho cause OF prohibition. Colorado
also will certainly enter the dry coll
umn and has given conclusive evt-
dence Of this intention
In Arizona and California the out
look Is not SO hopeful. California pre-
sents two reasons that will perhaps
carry the State wet. The first rea-
son Is the Panama Pacific Exposition.
and the second and greatest Is the
folly OF the law presented for adop-
ton. The law provides that only
twenty days shall elapse between the
submission of the law and its going
into effect. should It be adopted. This
tactical error has worked to the Diet
riment OF the prohibition cause. but
had the matter been submitted in a
form similar to the Virginia law with
q longer period for the law to go into
effect the voters would have followed
the example Of Virginia.
Prospects for the cause OF prohi-
bition throughout the nation. DR.. Can
non stated. are very bright.

the GSails of the indictment "a con-
spiracy is alleged to reference to the
purchase OF every line of any kind

IN about 16o companies. Specifically
the earliest date mentioned is the

1892. and the latest the acquisition of
the Metropolitan. Maine and Eastern
Steamship Companies by the Eastern
Steamship Corporation in December.

In Vain Attempt to Move
Forward In Obedience to
kaisers Command

Paris, Nov. Prom the North
Sea 10 Aisace the armies of Bel
GUM, France and England had
distinctly the better OF the hard
lighting of today and yesterday.
The official reports show that the
allies made progress all along the
line and that the German effort
weakened In the past twenty -four
hours.
ON Sunday the German armies at
lacked desperately IN Flanders. in
northern France, along the hills OF
Champagne, and along the Meuse. but
failed to break the allied lire at any
point, and lost ground in determined
by General Joffre's
troops. AS formerly. the increased
violence az their offensive was useless
Today pe Germans were less active
between the North Sea and the Disc.
and the allies moved forward slightly
in Belgium, near Dixmude.
The hardest fighting has been be-
tween Dixmude and Ypres, and south
ward in the regions of Lille and Arras.
The Germans appear to have abandon
ed their plan of attacking west OF
Dtxntuds, and to nave concentrated
strength west and south of Ypres. but

Tending the line in Belgium. The
aghttng in northern France had a
similar result. the allies withstanding
terrific attacks near Arras and to the
southeast.
Fferr Fighting on the Hinge
The fighting near the hinge of the
battle line Is again becoming of great
i'm portance. Along the Aisne IN the
region between scissors and 1aon.
they appear to have reinforced their
troops in an attempt to gain success
denied them in Belgium. The official
reports state that the attack has been
fruitless, and that the allies have
moved forward toward Laon. key to
the German fortified position held for
more than seven weeks. Similar oper-
ations n little to the east on rihe
heights of the Aisne ended in a re-
pulse OF the Germans.
Further progress is reported by the
French at the east Of the iine. The
Germans have been driven from the
heights at Ban De Sapt. from which
they shelled the town of St Die. The
governments communicates indicate
that-the- Germans are as unable to
gain ground IN this quarter as they
are In the west, and the Verdun-Toul
line Is still protected by the French

the bombardment had little effect
Their heavy guns were used ner

There are unofficial reports that the
allies have cut communications with
Client and Ostend: that Lille has been
taken from the Germans. and that
the left bank Of the User has been
evacuated by the invaders.
