the county who does not feel that
the day of nationwide prohibition
is nearly upon US. let him pick up
any metropolitan daily and scan the
reports of the recent option elections
throughout the Northwest. In
practically every instance there is a
gain in dry towns In every north
western state where votes are taken.
Some weeks ago the villages Of
Minnesota voted on the question
and the startling strides of prohibit
tion were commented upon general
ly at that time. Last week the
smaller cities of the state cast their
votes. Large and important towns
voted to Gust the saloons, many of
them for the first time in their his
tory. In Brainerd alone the anti
saloon forces carried the day by a
substantial majority and twenty one
saloons will close as result. Each
saloon has paid 81 900 annually. but
the financial consideration did not
save them.
The general public-and il is that
general" that controls to q great
degree-have come to the conclusion
that the welfare and prosperity of
the individuals of the town is OF suf-
ficient Importance to warrant them
in cutting off an annual revenue of
S2l, 900. 1t must be remembered
that even such large sum of money
represents but small portion of
the hard-earned coin that is thrown
away for poison SO dangerous that
the filching of bread from the
mouths of the dependent families is
only small portion of its far.reach-
ing evil. No saloonkeepor will re-
main in business that isn't getting
at least five dollars for every one he
pays as license. So the amount
saved for legitimate purposes in
Brainerd will total many times
twenty.one thousand dollars. The
efficiency of the citizenship will also
increase many fold in inverse pro-
portion to the amount Of liquor dis
pensed with. Leaving out the
moral aspect of the case. the above
items are sufficient. Add to them
the degradation and vile atmosphere
in which coming generations are
raised and corrupted. and the liquor
king has not foot to stand upon.
The town of Brainerd is cited as a
concrete example. Hundreds of
other towns are following in the
wake of that Minnesota railroad
town.
In Wisconsin even more startling
gains we're made by the anti-saloon
forces. A net gain Of fifteen cities
were recorded for the "drys." In
fact. nineteen Of the larger cities
and towns was the gam. offset by
four small villages that voted for
saloons.
In Illinois three additional coun-
ties are found in the no-license COL
umn making total of fifty out of
lO2 on the dry side. In Chicago a

CHINESE VERSION OF REVOLT

Three dispatches to the Liberty News,

all dated from Shanghai. These, in tho
order they were received, are:

PEACE IMPOSSIBLE
. . AT PRESENT TIME
Won Hindenburg Says Entente
Powers Must Be Thoroughly
Crushed By Teutons
AtAssoeiatsd Press By Federal wi+sis,s3

! ,NlAssociated Press By Federal wireless.)
LONDON, December Tive impor-
tant statements regarding the present
impossibiIIty of peace were made yes
terday, one by the under secretary for
war for France, which presented the
first tentative outlines of the conditions
under which the Allies uould agree to
peace, and one by the famous German
leader, Field Marshal Won Hindenburg,
! who gave out an interview which was
published in Vienna.
Won Hindenburg believes that the
Allies have not yet been sufficiently
defeated to accept the terms Of peace
! that Germany and Austro- Hungary
must demand. The Allies, he says, are
not as yet weakened to an extent that
forces them to listen to peace terms.
Allies Must Be Punished.
France and Russia as yet cannot
see their way clear to sacrifice them,
selves for the benefit of England, as
peace to0ay would necessitate, with
German armies holding portions of
both France and Russia. All Germans
would rejoice if the end of the war
were at hand, but it must not be ended
without England, Italy and Serbia re-
cPlving their just punishment, said
Won Hindenburg.
The presentation of the peace stu.
alton as made by a representative of
the Allies came in an announcement
! from Albert Thomas, under secretary
for war of France, who declared that
the Allies will not lay aside the sword
until Germany is completely humbled
| He declared that France will not make
peace until Alsace- Lorraine is won
Belgium and Serbia restored fully ia
their own people, and German imperial
ism and Prussian militarism crushed
beyond the possibility of resurrection
| His statement is attracting wide
spread attention, as it is the first OF
the kind from responsible cabinet
Teutons TiE1ng OF War
The Pritish press fails to echo thu
peace talk which is credited to tn,
Vatican, to Switzerland and to Sean
diravia. The British public believes
that the Teutons are tiring of the war
but they do not expect that terms whicl
the Allies could consider or accept will
come for some time yet from eithe
Berlin or Vienna. The general opinion
is that the war must go on for many
months to come, while belief in ulti
mate victory for the Allies is un
shaken.

n ThENS, December THAT the
AAllies, by threatening Greece, are
attempting to deprive her of her own
sovereignty, was the statement made
yesterday by King Constantine in a
personal interview granted to repre-
sentative of The Associated Press.
kin Constantine told The Associat-
ed Press that the Allies are now
threatening him and the Greek nation
because they believe that Greece is
ready to betray them to the Central
Powers.
Greece Stretches Neutrality.
"Greece has already stretched her
neutrality TO accommodate the Allies, )"
declared the King, "and Greece has
always sympathized with the cause Of
the Allies. To allay their suspicious
we have already formally pledged our
selves not to attack the Allies should
they be forced back into Macedonia,
but even with this they are not salts

''Now they. demand that Greece
should withdraw her forces from the
Salonika district, which would leave
the populace defenseless against the
Bulgars and might convert Greece into
a second Poland.
"The Allies are treating me as
though 1 were an African king, who
cares nothing for the suffering of his
people.
Allies Demand Too Much.
81 believe that the cause of the AL
lies is doomed to failure in the Balkans
unless they mobilize a force of 100000
men for their campaign. This England
seems not disposed to do, while France
cannot do it alone. Therefore, they
seem to demand, Greece must pay for
their failure.
1.-THE Allies demand too much. In
attempting to drive Greece from her
neutrality they are likewise attempting
to deprive Greece Of her sovereignty. "
