NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 31.- Prohibition forces gained a consid

One of the surprisese of the elections was in Suffield, where the no-license vote had a majority of "A, turning the town dry for the first time since 1876 and the second time in 150 years.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 31.- Colonel House, at his home ill East Fifty-third Street. has made it very plain that bis work of systematizing research operations necessary be- fore the United States can be pre- pared to enter understandingly into any future peace regulations, was one of preparedness only. He made it plain that it was not because the President saw peace very near that he was preparing for the discus sions. Colonel House pointed out that the governments of the allied nations had been for a long time preparing data on the solution of all the knotty problems that will come before the peace conference.

were busy bringing the vote their way.
 The license contest at Enfield brought an unusually large number to the polls, and despite cam paign by the temperance organiza- tiors, including open-air rallies and a house to house canvass, the town stayed wet" by 146 votes. The town of Stafford returned to its no- incense policy after lapse of hut one year with a majority of 40 votes. Lest year after period of seven dry years, the town went wet by two votes. There was a net gain of seven towns for prohibition this year with 9S under no-license and 70 operating under license.

In addition to this, he said, there were diplomatists in all the Euro puean nations, Germany included, whose knowledge of world politics was superior to that possessed by American statesmen. It is because of this condition, one which at pre- sent might put Americas represen- tatives in the position of not being free at sll times from the necessity of acting on the knowledge of others, that the President has de signated Colonel House to prepare the American authorities for peace negotiations. As Colonel House himself put it:
 "At all conferences those come off best who are best equipped, who

have the best cards in the way of knowledge of what they are about. It is intended that the proper knowledge be gathered for the use of America"
 Colonel House emphasized his statement that he would rot make any decisions on any points of in ternational politics; he said he would prepare the knowledge and the data on all points-that was al. The purpose, in brief, of the undertaking is to insure that the situation will not arise when Am erica's peace commissioners will not be able to act with a full know ledge of the facts in the case.
