URGE PROHIBITION
AS WAR MEASURE
Demand Of Prohibition Party Voiced
by National Chairman Virgil Hin
shaw at National Convention in
CHICAGO.

Chicago, March 5.-k demand for
Immediate nationwide prohibition as
war measure was voiced by Virgil
Hinshaw, chairman Of the prohibition
national committee, in an address
opening the thirteenth national con-
vention Of that party in Chicago today.
More than 1000 delegates were in at
tendance. In part Mr.. Hinshaw said:
IF all the prohibition forces Of this
country will pull together We can Sc
cure war prohibition within ninety
days. That is one Of our Jobs. but 1t
is not the Job Of the prohibition party
to do it all by itself. The time has
arrived when we should beseech the
150,000.000 church members and in ad-
dition reach out after every labor
union, manufacturers organization
and farmers organization In America
I'VE want prohibition for the period
Of the war, but we also want 1t per-
manently. Already seven states have
ratified the prohibition amendment.
We will take it for granted that all
dry states will ratify it. In that event
we must win seven more wet states
Seven wet states which we believe we
can win are Nevada, Wyoming. Flor
ida. Ohio, Minnesota Missouri and
Texas. There are others we should
win, namely. California, Wisconsin.
Delaware. New Jersey and Vermont.
Even old New York. Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Louisiana are by no
means hopeless. Germany has even
gone so far as to prohibit the use OF
grain for the production Of beer. That
Is the greatest attack she could have
made against the allies"
Enactment Of national bono dry
law in ninety days was demanded as
a war measure at special convention
Of the prohibition party
E. E. Lobeck, Of Alexandria. Mimi,
the only prohibition state senator In
the United States, was elected tempor-
ary chairman Of the convention. Olin
s. Bishop, Of Utica, N. Y, was chosen
secretary. and L, F. Jeanmene, Of Chi
cago, sergeant-at-arms.

ADVANCE TOWARD PEACE.
-ansdowne Finds Won Hertline's Speech
More Conciliatory.

hOuuOup MuTCIl DILL lHe vie" VI thS
Marquis Of Lansdowne. expressed in
letter to the Daily Telegraph the re-
cent speech Of Chancellor Won Hertz
ing, makes perceptible advance to-
ward peace. Lord Lansdowne believed
the speech may be regarded as a kind
OF "rejoinder to pressing announcement
recently made by the Versailles con-
ference
Lord Lansdowno. notes that the
German chancellor regarded the speech
made by Viscount, Miner, on Feb. 21.
as more conciliatory than that recent
ly made by Walter Runciman former
president Of the board Of trade, and
Lansdowne seems by implication to
agree with Count Won Hertling.
Four points Of the chancellor's
speech are selected for comment. First
is the chancellors wish for an intimate
meeting Of the bell!gerents. Lord
Lansdowro interprets this as small
informal meeting 1fspArsons authorized
to discuss possibilities of a. more for
NAL discussion.
The second point Is the admission
that peace can be discussed on tho
basis of President Wilson's four prin
ciples. This, says Lansdowne Is all
right as far as 1t goes. The third point
Is the chancellor's assurance that he
would greet joyfully and cooperate
gladly in an international court OF
arbitration. Lord Lansdowne says
this statement may be welcomed.
The fourth point Is Won Hertling's
intmation that Germany does not
think Of retaining Belgium, together
with the chancelor's reference TO the
papal note. He points out that the
material passage in the papal note on
which Won Hertling apparently replies
Is that Germany evacuate Belgium
