I ever heard was that good drink
ing water could not be had. although
We could get all the liquor we wanted.
Before l enlisted in the army |
was heavy drinkcr. but thanks to
Uncle Sam. l have learned that |
can get along without it and ! am
living accordingly and never felt bet
ter, physically or mentally, in my
life This Is also the case with about
80 per cent. Of drinking men. They
would be overjoyed, as I am, * they
could forget liquor entirely.
Then there Is the impression that
the workngman cannot get along
without his beer, which is absolutely
untrue and this will prove 1t. Tho
first time my OUTFIT went into tho
trenches we had TO hike thirty miles
with fun equipment and without
liquor OF any kind in about twelve
hours, and | do not think that any
workingnan Is doing any more
strenuous work than this.
Then again, it is a well known fact
that liquor is tho one best bet OF
the cad who makes n practice of cor
rupting the morals OF young girls.
Hc knows that II he can get girl
to take a drink Of even beer that
everything else will be easy for him.

Compliment for EDITORIAL.
To the Elitor Of The Evening world.
Although | do not always agree
with your views on various sub ieCts,
/ take pleasure at this time in COM
plimenung you on your editorial in
to-day's evening edition on tho sub
ject of prohibition. IL is simple and
to the point.
am one OF those millions in this
great country who arc in no way
connected. either directly or indirect
! ly. with tho liquor interests. and ye'
who are decidedly against nationa
| prohibition. I believe that by far the
great majority OF the people of this
country are of the Same opinion. hu
because OF the possible insinuation'
that may be lcvclled against then
connecting them with liquor Interests
arc inclined to be extremely reticcn
about expressing their opinion.
| Let mo again compliment you OF
the editorial in question and express
tho hope that this will be followed b!
others on the Same subject.

From German Democracy Bulletin.

From German Democracy Bulletin.
The Berliner Tageblatt on November
90 reports the following from Munich:
The press is again spreading the idea
today that not one of Germany's enemies
during the world war had made a peace
offer. In opposition to this report the
Bavarian minister of finance. Professor
DR.. Jaffe. has asked the Berliner Tage-
blatt to give out the following remarkable
explanation of the preliminaries to peace:
I'm order to avoid obscuring the facts.
1 hereby declare through the Berliner
Tageblatt that in the late fall of 1917 l
personally transmitted a peace offer from
the government OF the United States,
handed to ME by the confidential repre-
sentative of President Wilson into the
hands of Secretary of State VS.. Busche.
The latter promised me at tina time to
hand it to Secretary of State Won Kuehl-
mann. A few weeks later a correspond
ing peace offer from the United States
to AustriaSHungary was given to Count
Czernin. In spite of many inquiries on
the part of the people entrusted with the
mission. neither Germany nor Austria.
Hungary replied to the offer.
