Business Would Boom
If Chicago Voted Dry
Yarrow Says Bank Deposits Would
Increase, Crime and immortality
Would Fall Off if Saloons
Were Ousted

when Chicago goes dry says
Phillip Yarrow, Superintendent OF the
Dry Chicago Federation, "some inn
mense benefits will accrue economic
ally. The experience of cities like
Denver and Seattle is proving that all
legitimate business gains immensely
by the elimination of the saloon.
These facts have come to us from
Denver: During the first few dry
months in that city, the savings banks
opened up 1000 new accounts. The
savings bank deposits have increased
$,3l4,426. In one year under the dry
regime, the total bank deposits show
a gain of $26,632,225.
Few Empty Buildings
The 463 Denver saloon buildings
are practically all occupied by legiti-
mate business. Banks, dry goods
stores, shoe stores and other con-
Germs are occupying the places form
e-ly used by saloons.
"Crime in Denver has decreased OF
per cent. The last wet year Denver
had 1913 cases of crime. The first
dry year, the city had only LILO cases
of crime.
Homes are happier in Denver be-
cause of the closed saloons. One

"The cows around Denver are
working overtime. The dairy bust
ness has increased AZ per cent.
"The breweries of Denver are en-
ploying about the same men as be-
fore, only now they are making soft
drinks and butter and soap.
Denver health has been greatly
bettered by the closing of the saloons.
The last wet year the average num-
Der of patients in the Denver County
Hospital was 500 Now the average
has been cut down to 100. 1t used to
be common to get Is new alcoholic
patients every day; now weeks pass
without a single alcoholic case.
Divorces have decreased al per
cent under the operation of the dry
law.
Less Crime
During the last wet year, 874 per-
sons applied to the Denver city jail
for shelter from the storm. During
the first dry year, 100 applied for
such shelter.
"The Denver Jail with 402 cells,
formerly filled with prisoners, now
has usually less than 100 prisoners.
Amazing results have been shown
in business booms. Denver's largest
department store shows a Is per cent
increase in collections in a single
month under dry regime. Clothing
grocery and shoe concerns report a
marvellous prosperity. Booze money
is now going into legitimate channels

Chicago Brewers Advised to Change
"The Dry Chicago Federation"
says DR.. Yarrow, would respectfully
advise all brewers, saloonkeepers and
any persons now connected in any
way whatever with the liquor traffic,
to study Chicago conditions and be
ready to make such adjustments as
will insure no loss in revenue.

MICHAELIS MUM
ON PEACE OFFER
SAYS He Must Talk Over Pro-
pOSaIS First With
His Allies.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. %. - A
dispatch received here from Berlin
quotes the address delivered by DR..
Michaelis, the imperial German
chancellor, before the main com
mittee of the reichstag in Berlin on
Tuesday, in part as follows:
1T is easily understood in view
Of the attitude of our enemies thai
the German press maintains that l.
is impossible for us to make fresh
peace proposals"
The chancellor here quoted an
article printed in the Berlin Vor-
waerts. the socialist organ to the eff
feet that responsibility for the pro-
longation of the war rested upon
the allies and that for Germany
there was only one alternative, TO
defend ourselves and our kindred"
General Feeling of People.
"I think" the chancellor continu-
ed, this is the general feeling Of
our people. IL is in such a situation
THAI / now submit TO you the peace
proposal contained in the pope's
note. The contents OF the note. l be-
lieve, are known to you.
The fundamental ideas advanced
i'm the note correspond with the po-
sition which the pope takes up in
accordance with his personality and
his charge as head of Catholic
Christendom. The pope places in the
foreground his contention that the
moral force of right should replace
the material force of arms; on this
foundation he develops his proposals
for arbitration and disarmament.
Must Talk IL over With Allies.
Il cannot take up any definite po-
sition regarding the material tenor
of the proposals or go into any de-
tails concerning them until an agree
ment is reached with our allies.
1T is only possible for me to eX-
plain my views in general terms.
and | might do this in two direc-
tions. | oppose the opinion that the
popes proposal was inspired by the
central powers. 1t was due TO the
spontaneous decision Of the head or
the Catholic church.
just Like Germany.
1t must SBtdh Will iFNtA <
with regard 10 detail / can say that
il corresponds generally TO our own
expressed attitude We are SYM
pathetic TO every attempt TO inspire
the thought OF peace among the
war weary people, and we especial
" greet the move of the pope, which
in my opinion was based on an
earnest desire for impartiality and
Justice l sum up in this way:
The note was not initiated by us
but was advanced on the spontane-
Gus initiative Of the pope. We greet
with sympathy the pope's efforts 10y
a durable peace 10 make an end
Of the war Of the peoples.
Regarding the answer TO the
note. We are communicating with
our allies but the negotiations have
not vet been concluded. For the
present am unable 20 enter upon
a closer discussion Of the material
points. but / am ready 10 discuss
the matter with the committee I'M
I'll the answer is ready. l express
the hope that common labor will
bring us nearer the realization of
what all desire-an honorable peace
for the fatherland.'
