LONDON, Oct. 22.-Prohibition has thrust itself forward as an issue of first magnitude in the tri- angular political campaign of Brit aims three parties.
 With the general election a few months away the wet and dry questi- ! is being debated in Eng land no less desperately than in the United States. The conserva- tive and labor parties are running strongly, with the liberal party third in power and influence.
 Although the dry bloc does not have the strength it has in the United States, it is an element to be reckoned with. It can win or lose seats in the next parliament. It is a risky question and no party has yet come out with definite utterance except the labor party

OUAKERS URGE WORLD
 TO THROW AWAY ARMS

LONDON, Oct. 22. -Bri.is h Quakers have issued a widespread appeal for world disarmament as a logical sequel to the signing of the Kellogg pact outlawing war.
 We believe this agreement may be a great landmark in human history" says the appeal issued by the Society of Friends in Lon don. "This can only be as peace is organized instead of war, and peace cannot be organized without trust.
 Signature alone is not enough; we need a corresponding change in the minds of men. How quick ly disarmament is accomplished depends on public opinion and on the public conscience, on their strength to resist vested interests and even ancient habits of thought. As community our appeal is to all men to work for the spread of the spirit which takes away the occasion of all war.
 Will ministers try 10 influence their congregations, editors their readers, voters their representa- tiyas in Parliament, each man his neighbor%
 The Quaker appeal has been dis patched to every clergyman and minister in Great Britain, members of both houses of parliament, edu- cational bodies, school teachers political parties, and League ol Nations Union branches, besides thousands of men and women yot- CTS in the country.
