 From all sections of the country there has been a growing demand for breweries and saloons to be closed, and in response to this popular de- mand, the national legislative confer ence, representing the allied temper ance forces of the United States at its recent meeting in Washington following provisions:
 1. It is urged that appeals in the form of brief letters or telegrams be sent to President Wilson. through Fed eral Administrators Hoover Garfield Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Baker for the conservation of food, fuel, transportation space and man power, now wasted by the liquor traffic, urg- ing for this purpose the closing of the breweries for the period of the war. 2. As the President has not been empowered to stop the sale of alco- holic beverages texcept the sale to men in army and navy uniforml ap- peals for the closing of all places for the sale of alcoholic liquors should go iO llSIiDtIS ol COuStts AL db CIV lanche of communications by mail and telegraph go from every city to our representatives in both houses of Con gross, voicing the desire of the people that the waste from the traffic in drink be speedily put q stop to by ac- tion of Congress.
 5. The legislative conference ex- pressed the desire that the war depart ment continue its efforts, as announced in the public press. to secure from the ! French government action forbidding the sale to American sailors OK sol diers of any alcoholic beverages.

 This is an extract from a letter to one of our workers, which we thought would be of interest to readers:
 "A military hospital is a wonderful place. l stood in the operating theatre for about two hours and watched five expert American surgeons and as many more swift moving. efficient nurses relieve suffering and repair the damages of war in all it's twentieth century hor- TOT. I saw no gas cases in the theatre and would not be permitted to write about it if I had. No one is permitted to go into details as to the effect of the various gases or of the remedies, but saw few gas cases bandaged and coming in in the conveys. The numbers though. are no longer great and gas is not figured on to any large extent ex- cept as past or the future reckoning.
 Tt is very gratifying to know the repu- tation that American surgeons have made for themselves over here. They are natural, easy operators. and have &C., complshed miracles in the saving of wounded men.

 Soldiers do not pray in the trenches on their knees, I have only known one soldier who prayed. He did so every time the artillery came across from the enemy lines. When the guns ceased to play, or when we were back in billets, his language and his bearing were no better, nor were they perhaps as good as those of the rest of us. We have no use for "death-bed" repentance on the battlefield.

Must!

Local workers on the fourth Liberty loan report lack of interest and enthusiasm. A fairly good start has been made, but the hard ground in the drive Is the second line intrenchments, the second phases, after the first burst of enthusiasm of the charge has passed. This loan MUST be achieved. America IS pledged to 1t. In the Warren district, as in every community in the re- public, public sentiment Is overwhelming in its unshakable resolution to its full quota and over The doubt and apprehension and speculation regarding the first loans are absent in the public mind today. Our peo- pie are settled definitely in their course to- wards certain goal. The raw steel of the lancepoint we directed towards the heart of our enemies at the beginning has now been tempered and stained with blood and tried and not found wanting. Doing the impossible has now become as common as doing the difficult thing year ago. Our engineers in French harbors; our builders on French roads; our soldiers on French battlefields, all have been doing the impos- sible for months past. And we are doing 1t at home. Our conservation of food our transportation of materials, our assembly and training of fighters, our building of fac tories and shipyards, all these loomed as i'm possibilities at the beginning of the year. But we have achieved them. We have passed these objectives and still press on. Our first and second loans were mountains and we shook our heads over them and wondered if we could ever surmount these peaks. They are behind us now mere hills, and the Alpine height just ahead we know full well that we can climb and pass, too. The eagles unfilmed glance is fixed ahead and above all obstacles. Just as well come through now as later For you and l and all of us must come. Oregon, Iowa and Montana have passed beyond every heighth ahead, and Arizona. too, must pass that way. Faith moves mountains, they say and MUST passes over them. Our quota must be raised, and the more quickly the Warren district realizes this fact, the more quickly will its task be accomplished. There Is no way around no way under; no way to avoid; no other way; we must simply arise and gird our loins and buckle our sandals and set our teeth and brace our sinews and cut our purse strings and press on, up, OVER THE TOPl

More Peace YdWp

Beaten all along the western front and Bulgaria lost to his cause and turkey in the last stages, the Prussian again cries for peace. And as he cries with his lips and protests his honest aims with his mouth he leaves a fringe of machine gunners to de lay the allied advance until his hand can ap- ply the torch and dynamite to the fairest and mast famous towns and cities he IS be- ing forced from in Belgium and France For the allies to listen to this whine or heed for moment this peace bait would be to commit sacrilege. This is the most critical period of the war for the allied cause. The squirming, cringing Hun is trying to get away under the smoke screen of the cities he laid waste with the torch even while his agents were crying peace. There IS only one road to peace and that Is the path the Bulgarian feet pressed the other day when they threw down their arms and crouched low as they passed under the portals of the arch that guards the way. The allied press that play up these peace overtures in glar- ing headlines and the allied peoples who discuss them are doing exactly what Ger many wants them to do.

Beaten But Not Broken

Again this column would urge cold, calm, careful consideration of all bulletins on the battles and allied victories on the western front and the collapse and confus- ion of our enemies in the near and far east. Our victories are local. The German is being beaten and pushed back. but he is fighting too well and with too much resolu- ton and skill to suffer disaster as long as his spirit and organization hold to their present tense state With disaster threat ening him on four separate and far flung battle fronts since last Sunday, the German has staved it off for week by plain, hard, desperate fighting and the sacrifice of re- serves, He has lost St. Quentin and given up Lens and Armentieres, but so far he has been able to withdraw in some order, talk ing most of his stores and heavy guns with him. He is fighting to save his armies from

rout and consequent disaster and he has succeeded up to this time, thanks to his ma chine gun defense and the men who are willing to give their lives to maintain this plan of retreat. The main accomplish ment of the allies in the fighting of the past two weeks has been the occupation of the Eiindenburg line as a winter quarters. That they will gain Cambrai is certain, and Douai and Laon and LaFe ere as well. The Rheims salient Is also being wiped out, and the gains in the Argonne are causing the Ger man staff much concern and many sacri- fices to hold up. Back to Valenciennes the foe must go, ten miles from the Hinden- burg line, and whether he will retire in disorder verging on rout or draw back in order, depends upon the battle of the next forty-eight hours. To sum up, the enemy Is retiring pretty well all along the line under fierce hammer strokes, but IS no- where broken or demoralized and is still capable of strong defense.
