Petitions were placed in cir
culation throughout the city this
week asking that the license
question be submitted to the
voters at the election to be held
on April 9Th. This was to be ex-
pected and it is altogether likely
that the petition will receive the
required number of signatures,
which must be equal to ten per
cent of the vote cast for Govern
or at the last general election.
Washburn has been without
saloons for a period of just nine
months. 1t has NOT been with
out men who have remained here
with the expectation that the
saloons might be voted back in
the spring and these are the men
who are today back of the move
ment to put the license question
to a vote this spring. These are
the men who are directly inter
ested in seeing Washburn go
wet" that they may again en-
gage in the saloon business and
naturally they are using their
influence to get their friends to
see as they do.
During the nine months period
just past the influence of the
saloon has been on the wane and
with the city ''dry" for another
year this influence will be crush
ed so completely that it will
never rise again. That will be
the last handicap to Washburn
going ahead.

Art Criticism.

1t is related that almost the last
work Sir Edwin Landseer was engag-
ed on was IL life sized picture of Nell
Gwyn passing through an archway
on white palfrey. This picture, in
which the horse alone was finished,
was bought by one OF the Rothschild
family and given TO Sir John Millais
to complete. One morning a celebrat-
ed art critic called ON the painter and
was much impressed by this work.
"Ah. to he sure" he said, going up
close and examining deerhOund in
the foreground of the picture; how
easily one can recognize LandseeTs
dogs. Wonderful. isn't it?" Yes; 1t
is wonderful!" said Sir John, lighting
his pipe. Il finished painting that
dog yesterday morning and nave done
the whole OF II myself.

position of the British by their en-

Fears Wrong Interpretation

Germany Losing Early Advantage
By Anthony Hope
London, January 30.-I am mere
civilian, and in no way an expert in
military affairs, but in my judgment,

the advantage enjoyed by Germany
at the beginning of the war, owing
to her greater preparedness. is now

ually are bringing their full forces
to bear. AS this process continues,

struggle will be. success will incline

vided they are able to maintain the
command of the sea and this we have
at present good ground for hoping
that they will be able to do.
Believes Germany Will Win
By Richard Bartholdt, Representa-

Washington. January 30.-The
stand which the Germans and Aus
trians are making against the great

to command the admiration and en-
list the sympathy of all who pay trib-
ute to valor.
What they already have accom-
plished against superior numbers
augurs well to their ultimate success.

umph.
All my information is that their
own confidence of success remains
absolutely unshaken.
But what |, as an American citi-
zen and a representative in the Amer
lean Congress. am most concerned
about is the maintenance by the
United States of real neutrality. 1t
was in the interest of real neutrality
that called the conference of men,

You ask me to send message to

right to do SO, but if you like. l will

First-Every single German and

Second-We are convinced that the

but in my humble opinion Gernany's
army has about as much chance of
getting to Calais as it has of getting
to Chicago. So far. the only thing

OF the tiny country of Belgium, and,
with fragile and costly grip, part
of France.
