dependent party, speaking in the
house of deputies, says telegram

not enough to desire it, the nation
must negotiate for it. Count Czernin
(Austro-Hungariam foreign minister,
has net confined himself to mere
words, but has openly declared that
we are ready for peace without an
nexatiops. One of the prerequisite
conditions of peace is the democratic
zation Of every country"
In a continuation of the debate
Baron Julius Beck said:
There is no war policy today, but
only a peace policy. The peace must
be honorable. guaranteeing Hungary's
frontiers and her political independ-
ence."
Count Moritz Esterhazy. the pre-
nsier, replying to Baron Beck. said the
new Hungarian government stands for
the continuance of the alliance be-
tween the dual monarchy and Ger
many, as did the government which it
succeeded.
"We are wHging this war as a de-
fensive war. Our peace aim is not
conquest. We do not leave our enc
mics in doubt about this. On the con-
trary, we testified clearly before the
whole world our readiness for peace"

 Monday. The petition was signed by a large-number of prominent voters in
 the town and the number Of signatures on the paper greatly exceeded the re- qu:red number.
 Those who have signed :he petition represent the largest business inter- ests in, -he town, including the mer- cantile business and the manufactur- ing end. WIsh hardly an exception, the heals of the big manufacturing plants in the city put down their names, saying that it was for the good of their business to have the town go dred names were secured and everyone expressed himself as ready and willing to sign :he petition.
 The campaign against the liquor traffic will start immediately with shop and strt ct talks and several ma ss meetings have been arranged at which many prominent men will speak. Prominent members of the prohibition party state that the public opinion is tending toward prohibition and with the law prohibiting the manufacture of whiskey in effect a great number who have been indifferent tc the liquor question realize that the United. States government disa pproves ot the liquor and vote No.
 The liquor fight in this city will be a close one and according to com parisons made with the vote eight years ago. when no-license was voted upon, show that the prohit :tion party will only have to swing bout 250 votes to their side to win. When the question came to vote the last time there were many who were indifferent and did not vot6. At thar time there was not the national interest in the question, either. There were in 1909 only six dry states in the union. and now there are 26, or more than half. If the locsI situation has progressed in keeping with the national situation the party feel confident of dry town after tie coming election.
