CUTS DOWN LEAD
OF DRYS IN OHIO
DrinkIesS and SaIoonless State
Within Two Years Would
Follow Victory for Prohibit
tioniStS, Who Claim the Day

CINCINNATI, Nov Sat l o'clock
p. m. today official returns had modi-
fled the unofficial state total and de-
creased the dry lead to 327 votes. The
vote as counted at 1 o'clock. stood:
For prohibition, 52O,265; against pro-
hibition, 519,93S.
Ohio now faces the extreme PROBABLE
ity that in less than two years it will
be a drinkless and saloonless commo-
wealth. This condition forced itself
upon the citizens at midnight when the
prohibition votes took the lead In the
statewide tabulation in such strength
as to make all but certain the success
Of the prohibition amendment which
provides that the saloon shall be barred
after April /, 1919.
With the drys yesterday afternoon
congratulating themselves they were
safely in the lead came word that a
mistake of 10000 votes had been dis
covered in the Hamilton county CCin-
cinnatD count, which gave the premier
place to the vets. Then the rural dis
tricts began to roll in cutting down the
wet lead and at midnight the drys dis
tanced their opponents.
AS it is, an official count is likely
to intervene before the final announce
ment is made of just where Ohio stands
on prohibition. VETS and drys alike
talked of the need of an actual recount
before anything like the whole state
vote was known. Rumors of serious
mistakes in several counties were cur
rent, but none but the Hamilton county
mistake received the sanction of cleo
ton officials.
Governor Cox took notice of the
change in the Cincinnati returns and
instructed the attorney general to pay
strict attention to developments before
the county election board.
In as much as Tuscarawas and Ma
honing counties, where the precincts
missing at midnight are located, have
been credited with being dry territory,
the prohibition champions asserted their
belief that their totals would be great
ly increased when the official county
returns were recorded at the statehouse.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-The decisive
battle of the Teutonic drive in Italy is
entering its first stages today, with
maneuvering for position by the oppos-
ing armies. Rome cables stated. French
and British relnforcements are massing
back of the Pieave river line and heavy
artillery is being rushed srom the west

The fipal decisive battle may start
within a few days.
The RoHsw cables had a distinctly OPP
timistic flavor for the first time in
the pA< two weeks. Despite terrible
Sacrifices, the Italian troops were said
to be holding up the Austro-German adj
vaaces sufficiently to permit defense
preparations that make the final out
come hopeful The tide of battle of the
Venetian plains will soon turn N
Italy's favor, it was predicted Cadorna's
troops are fighting loyalty with high
spirit.
For the past ten days the allies have
been feverishly transporting troops and
artillery over the two railroads lead
ing from France through northern Italy
When the last stand is finally made
against the Teuton hordes, the advan-
tage will be on the allies side, Rome
stated.

NEW YORK, Nov. Women citizens
OF New York state were given unlimited
suffrage in yesterdays election by a
majority which is expected to. reach
1OO. 900 when all election districts have
completed their tabulations. Early to-
day. with 1.54s out of 5,772 election
districts missing. the vote stood 533,51s
for the amendment and 446.7s1 against.
In the greater city. which reversed it's

dicted that the missing 2T2 election dis
tricts would greatly increase the al

vote for the city was 2s9.724 for suf-
frage as against 209.127 opposed.
In the long fight for the ballot in
New York state Of almost seventy years
the women long since learned to expect
defeat. but their fears were early turned
to hope and, as the big vote began to
pile up. the jubilation knew no bounds.
At both the city and state suffrage
headquarters scenes approaching hys-

THANKSGIVING MESSAGE.
ISSUED by PRES. WILSON
Says Blessings u, S, Enjoys in
War Are Better Than Mere
Peace Of Mind

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Presiden
Wilson has issued his 1917 Thanksgiv
ing proclamation, calling up the nation
even in the midst of the sorrow ant
great peril of a world shaken by war
to thank God for blessings that are bet
ter than mere peace of mind and pros
perity of enterprise.
The proclamation. fixing Thursday
November 20, as Thanksgiving day, fol
rows:
1t has long been the honored
custom Of our people to turn in the
fruitful autumn of the year In
praise and thanksgiving to AL
mighty God for His many blessings
and mercies to us as a nation. That
custom we can follow now even IN
the midst. of the tragedy of a world
shaken BY war and unreasonable
disaster, in the midst of sorrows
and great peril, because even
amidst the darkness that has gath
cred about us we can see the great
blessings God has bestowed upon
us, blessings that are better than
mere peace of mind and prosperity
of enterprise.
We have been given the oppor-
tunity to serve mankind as We
once served ourselves in the great
>day of our Declaration of Inde-
pendence, by taking up arms
against a tyranny that threatened
to master and debase men every
where and joining with. other free
peoples in demanding for all the
nations of the world what we the1.
demanded and obtained for our
selves. In this day of the revela-
ton of our duty not only to de-
fend our own rights as a nation,
but to defend also the rights OF
free men throughout the world,
there has been vouchsafed us in
full and inspiring measure the
resolution and spirit of united ac-
ton. We have been brought to
one mind and purpose. A new
Vigor of common counsel and COM
mon action has been revealed in u.s.
We should especially thank God
that in such circumstances, in
the midst of the greatest enter
prise the spirits of men have ever
entered upon, we have, if we but
observe a reasonable and prac-
ticable economy, abundance with
which to supply the needs of those
dSSOCldltu with us DIS well as our
own. A new light shines about us.
The great duties of a new day
awakens new and greater ma
tional spirit in us. We shall never
again be. divided or wonder what
stuff we are made of.
And while we render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty
God that in all humbleness of
spirit we may look always to Him
for guidance; that we may be kept
constant in the spirit and purpose
of service; that by His grace our
minds may be directed and our
hands strengthened, and that in His
good time liberty and security and
peace and the comradeship of a
common justice may be vouchsafed
all the nations of the earth
Wherefore, !, Woodrow Wilson.
