for the general impression that peace
will come from the east.
To conclude a peace that will not be
made at their own cost. the central
powers feel that their armies must re-
tain their present proportionate
strength and efficiency; that their
losses must not be greater in propor-
ton than those of the entente forces.
Before the British millions had appear
ed on the scene, there was always the
vague fear that things might go wrong
once they took their place. But the
Somme operations have shown that
while the British millions have been OF
much help to the French, their coming
has not been decisive.
1t is argued now that with the large
British forces assimilated in the mill
tary ensemble. and with the Rumanian
army known quantity further con-
cessions worth while can come to the
entente only from its population
growth as more men will reach mill
tary age. This quality is not peculiar
to the central allied states. About
eighteen per thousand of the popula
tions males reach military age an
nual!y, which would mean that Ger
many can count on q yearly reserve
of $4,000 young men. Austria-Hun-
gary about 100000, Bulgaria $4,000
and Turkey 100000.
Superannuation and losses in the field
will more than swallow these figures,
but this is equally true of the entente
man crops.

The central governments, SO much
may be said, are ready today for q
peace which would leave Europe very
much as before the war, with the eN
ception that Poland must be made an
autonomous state. and that neither Bel
GUM nor Serbia can again trouble, in
nocently or purposely, the quiet OF
Europe.
There is here not the faintest iHdica =
ton that the entente is inclined to en-
ter negotiations on that basis. 1hat
being the case. the end of the war
seems as far off as ever. In Vienna ana
Berlin. on the other hand, nobody can
yet see why the central group should
make concessions. since they claim to
hold trumps everywhere by the occu-
patton of enemy territories so large
that the few advantages of this order
gained by the entente can hardly count.
Had the summer operations driven the
central troops out of France and Rus
sia things would be different.
AS it is. the Somme offensive has
merely shown. according to the people
here. that the steel wall of the Germans
in the west may be bent, but cannot
be broken. while the troops in the east
have been able to resist the Russians
in a splendid manner. numbers con-
sidered. The Italians. after making
slight headway along the Isonzo, have
again been obliged to take breath.

VIENNA, September 21.-With a keer
longing for peace has come persistent
speculation in the central states as
to the manner in which this blessing
may be secured. But all thought OF
the subject remains what it has been
for nearly two years-the substance OF
the persons own wishes. Political and
military circles today are as far from,
seeing definite plan for the cessa
tion of the war as they were when the
catastrophe first overwhelmed Europe.
In Berlin and Vienna they continue
setting their teeth when the word
peace is mentioned. not because war
is wanted. but for the reason that up

owing TO military and economic weak
ness. then thought might run in a
different channel. But that the en-
tente has not shown that it can uIti-
matelS realize its own hopes is the
universal view held i'll Austria-Hun-
gary and Germany and their allied
countries.
The offensive Oh the Somme. the Rus
sian attack in Bukowina and in East
Galicia. the entry into the war of Ru-
mania and its immediate consequences,
the campaign of Sarrail from Saloniki
and the eXertions of the Italians have
all contributed toward the feeling in
the central group that the resistance
met by the entente may yet open the
eyes of those who must first announce
that they will be satisfied with a peace

Hungarians still fingers the exultation
due to the rapid advance in the Arsiero
offensive. So long as the entente can :
not convince the public Of the central
, states that it is gaining militarily, in
still greater numbers and higher eff
cheney, the necessity of making con-
cessions will not break upon the CEN
trail European mind.
1t is evident that government and
public are one on this subject. The pri-
vations OF war have hardened all minds.
There is much grumbling about this
or that regulation, the course of the
government does not always please.
now and then an enterprising poll
tician comes to the front, but all these
things are ephemeral trifies, compared
with the great objective-that the war
must not be lost.
There is nothing evident here that
would support at this moment the
opinion that Russia would be the first
to make peace. Nevertheless. that
country is thought of in this manner.
Peace rumors always have Russia in
mind. Possibly this is due to the be-
lief that Russia is. after all, the most
vulnerable of the entente powers. In
military circles a further occupation
of Russian territory by means of an
other German offensive is accepted as
highly fca sible.

CASTS THIRTEENTH BALLOT
Republican President-EIect Walks to
Polls Before Eating Breakfast,
Bright and Early Tuesday

New York.--Bright and early Tues
day morning found Charles Evans
Hughes. Republican candidate for
President, making a hike from his no.
tel to the voting place, which was in a
laundry. almost directly in the rear of
the hotel where he has made his head
quarters during the campaign. When
bis attention was called to the fact
that his ballot was numbered thirteen,
he smiled and said:
Thirteen Is my lucky number.
And was born on Friday, too" he
added. 4
Mr. Hughes went to the polls before
conditions indicating a clear, cool day.
he remarked:
"It looks like a good Republican
day"
The candidate was accompanied on
the walk from the hotel to the laundry
by Maj. F. s. Crossett and several of
the attendants at his personal head
quarters. He was at once recognized
by the few persons in the streets at
that hour, who shouted greetings at
him. A small crowd. among whom
we're several newspaper photograph
ers, greeted him as he entered the
voting place. After voting, he paused
in the doorway moment for the ben
eft of the camera men. Two extra
policemen we're on guard, in addition
to those required by law.
AS the candidate left the polling
place the onlookers were startled by
the noise OF taxfca back-firing. Half
dozen policemen jumped in the direc.
tion of the distui bance, but stopped
when Mr.. Hughes smilingly pointed to
the heavy smoke hanging behind the
stalled automobile.
Mr.. Hughes was handed his ballot
st 1903 o'clock. When he emerged
from the booth he handed the marked
ballot to the inspector. having taken
exactly two minutes to record his
choice. He walked back to his hotel,
accompanied by the crowd and went
at once to his rooms.

Chicago--More than half of the 10
states OF the Union have been put into
the dry column. Those which are add.
ed to the list by the election Tuesday,
making the total of dry states 20. are
Michigan, Nebraska, South Dakota,
Montana. Utah and Florida. The terri
tory Of Alaska has also been added to
the dry possessions OF the United
States.
The states which voted on the liquor
question in which the dry forces seem
TO have been defeated, although the re-.
turns are not all in, are California and
Missouri.
+. Scott McBryde, superintendent OF
the Illinois State Anti-Ssloon League,
thus stated the situation:
"A number of victories were gained
for dry legislation in the defeat of the
propositions put forward by the vets
which the vets intended should act as
checks on the dry movement. In Colo
RADIO an attempt was made to secure
an amendment favoring the use OF
beer under certain restrictions, and In
South Dakota and Arkansas the vets
championed local option as against
statewide prohibition. In each in
stance the plans OF the vets were de,
feated.
"The victory In Utah and In Florida
was in electing legislature favorable
to dry legislation. The Legislative II
expected to promptly pass statutory
prohibition. In Utah the last iegisiar
ture passed such legislation by an s to
/ vote. but the measure was vetoed BY
the governor. The indicated election
of dry governor this time makes the
anti-fquor legislation certain.
Elm the other four states which voted
dry, the people voted directly on the
dry issue.
aThe statewide victories against
the saloon were secured through the
organization of the Anti-Saloon League
In the various states and give great
