LTERNATIVEFO
HUN IS ARMISTICE-
OR AN INVASION

Paris, Nov. 9-French opinion,
which is remarkably restrained is I'M
animous in the view that Germany
will capitulate between now and Mon
day. French opinion is unanimous in
this view.
NJ. Copies writing for the Figaro
sums up the views Of all editorial
writers when he says:
1.-THE details of revolutionary move
ments in Germany are lacking but
we learn enough from hour to hour
to feel already that they are neither
superficial or fictitious. Do they con-
tain deep-set revolution? Are they
but riots due to the reaction of the
defeat? What authority does the re-
public proclaimed at Munich possess
These are questions which concern
Germany alone"
While Germany is reflecting on the
Allies terms" Marshal Foch con-
| tinues his blows without intermission
The German army may break at any
moment. There were signs of a new
retreat from the Scheldt yesterday
and the French are along the Meuse
over a front of fifteen miles. The
alternative for Germany now is arms
! tice or invasion.

Labor and Prohibition

The argument before the Albany legislature of Mir. Samuel Gompers head of the American Fedora ton of Labor against the ratification the prohibit ton amendment is not a very convincing one. In fact it has relation at all to the question. It is merely that action should be taken which will ir- terfere with our conduct of the war
 We will concede that the war between barbarism and civilization is much bigger thing than the against the liquor traffic there is no conflict between the two In fact other nations have found that approach toward prohibition has been helpful to the forces fighting for civilization.
 It is true that some advocates of the liquor traffic have pointed to the collapse of Russia as an i-effect of prohibition but do think that Mir. Gompers would go far to join in that view and denounce prohibition as pro-German. His argument though. conveys the notion that his country is so divided the subject that in discussing it we are wasting energy which should be concentrated against the enemy.
 It is well to again the difference between the attitude labor in Great Britain and labor in the United States toward the prohibition question. In Great Britain labor more solidly than any other element is against prohibition and in favor gener- liquor supply. There the industrial and agrcul- tural industries recognize the demand of trades unon ism for plenty of drink. In this country industry frowns upon drink and most industries actually taboo it. Many unions have declared against it. and in this state union labor of the vital forces in bringing about prohibition. Without organized labor the first successful prohibition campaign would have been failure. The stand. therefore taken by Mir. Gompers is not representative of the labor ee- ment of which he is the head
 Stronger than any argument that can be offered that prohibition agitation is obstruction in our conduct of the is the very patent fact that evil at which prohibition is aimed is most wasteful of the resources which the country needscoal and grain. There is other industry retardng, so destructive of those necessary materials and de- structive of American manhood. every ounce of which this country will need before the war ends,

SOLDIER DIARY
 THING IF PAST

The closest companion and confi- dante of almost every young man in the American army, his diary, has been arbitrarily ruled against by the highest military authorities. Accord ing to word received in Phoenix, it had been ordered that no diaries may be kept by the men in the American army in Europe.
 Along with the razor. the house wife" and the writing case, no gift to the soldier from mother, sister, sweetheart or friend has been more popular than that of the diary in which the young adventurer was to have recorded his day. by day experi- ences for future reference and en- largement after his return from lover there"
 But the faithful diary must go. It has been decided that it is too dan- gerous to the welfare of the armies of America and her allies to have such information, as a diary would surely contain, available to the enemy in case of the capture of a soldier with one in his possession.
 This fact has been proven in the

 There is belief that bad weather election day is bad for good government, and we do not doubt that there is something in it.

 No weather is ever bad enough to keep selfish, corruptble voters away from the polls Voting is business with them and they do not let weather in- terfere with it.
