MODERATE mr.. LANCER

The Socialist press bureau declares that Attorney
General LANCER has not set aside the bone-dry law or any
of its provisions. and Mn LANCER himself declares that he
has merely held that whiskey and brandy may be con-
sidered medicines, and can be brought into the state for
their treatment COT influenza, etc.) in the manner pre-
scribed by law, dusing the period-of the epidemic only"
The self-restraint of Mr.. LANCER in retaining from
cancelling this law and making another at his pleasure
is remarkable. One wonders how he did it
But, unless Mr.. LANCER is making the laws to suit
himself, it is not clear on what authority he permits"
liquor to be Imported into the state for the treatment of
influenza and refuses like permission in other diseases
for which a physician may precribe these stimulants. The
law seems to say nothing about influenza. 1t prescribes
conditions under which liquor may or may not be i'm
ported into the state. Just how. or why Mr.. LANCER ap-
plies this to influenza and not to some other diseases is
a mystery. st
There is still some curiosity as to why the socialistic
press lrefrains from mentioning the opinion Of Justice
Robinson-eected by their OWN votes-to the effect that
this law is unconstitutional. sl

PEACE PROGRESS
promotion.

Two additions were made yesterday to the interna-
tional peace correspondence. The German note may be
dismissed with scant attention. 1tJls interesting. and. in
a way, important, in that its declaration that the peace
negotiations are being conducted by q peoples govern
ment to which even the military branch is subject, indi.
Gates, II not a real change Of heart or change Of govern
ment on the part Of Germany. such a recognition Of the
Fhopelessness Of Germanys cause by the ruling powers in
Germany that a very determined and persistent effort is
being made to concniate the opposing nations by pro-
testations of reform, and Of the creation Of a real dem
|ocratc government. 1t is a long step from the arrogance
Of the government Of six months ago to the anxious hui
mility Of the German government of today. fhe note
calls for no response, and it is stated tbat it will be given
none until the Allies decide formally on the whole matter
of an armistice.
The Austrian note is Of. a different character, and
presents possibilities Of more immediate results. Austria
is sick Of her job. She wants to get out Of the war, into
which she really did, not wish to enter. She has pro-
fessed acceptance Of all the terms which have been sug-
gested, and In this latest note agrees specifically to con-
ditions which will mean the splitting up Of her empire
and the creation out Of it Of two or more independent
slav states. She wants peace badly. and wishes to make
Germany. '
No conditions of peace or Of truce can be made with
Austria at this time which will restore to her the status
of an independent and neutral nation. Our chief use for
Austria is an avenue of approach to Germanys back
door. Unless Germany surrenders first we are going
through Austria to attack her in the rear. We will 20
through fighting, if Austria wishes it that way. If she
prefers that we shall go peacefully. so far as she is con-
cerned. she can doubtless make arrangements to that ef-
feet.
The conditions which were imposed on Bulgaria APP
pear to provide a very good model for the Austrian case.
Applied to this situation they would require Austrian DIS
armament and rehabilitation; her evacuation of all in
vaded territory: cessation Of Communication with Ger
many: and the unrestricted use for the military purposes
of the Allies Of Austrian territory. Austrian railroads and
Austrian supplies. In the meantime Austria would await
until a more convenient season for the announcement of
thefspecific terms of peace to be finally exacted from her.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Lieut. H. TIC.
Walker Of the British navy, one Of
the heroes of the British, naval at
tack on the German submarine base
at Zsebrugge, has arrived in New
York. The full story of the attack, in
which Lieutenant Walker played an
honorable part, has only recently been
told. \
ton from the destroyer Warwick.
The vhdictive, Walkers vessel, which
has blocked the Zeebrugge harbor
ever since, naturally sustained the
greatest losses. the shore batteries
having been turned principally on this
ship. 1t will be remembered that
eighteen gangways led from the ship
to the mole and, when contact was
made, there was, ALMOST a ace be-
tween officers and men as to which
would be the first to reach the scene
Of their deadly but thoroughly effec-
tive labors. 1t was while swarming
upthe gangways that a great many Of
the men were killed and wounded.
Lieutenant Walker had his arm
carried away by a shell on the upper
deck of the warship, and lay in the
darkness and confusion while the
storming parties raced over his pros
trate body. He was recognized and
dragged aside by his commander.
With his remaining arm-he waved the
latter goodbye. Later he was rescued
and is still able to do his country
good service.
