Antisaloon League Is Pleased With Sprout's Big Republican Victory A statement issued to-day by State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, Dr. C. F. Swift, congratu lates the people of Pennsylvania for the support given to Senator William O. 'Sproul in the race for the Gov ernorship. The statement follows: ""The good people of Pennsylva nia are to be congratulated on their loyal support given to Senator Wil liam C. Sproul as gubernatorial can didate, at the polls on Tuesday, and for all others whi stood with him, favoring ratification of the constitu tional amendment; also the other advance movements expressed in his platform. '"The Anti-Saloon League, which gave its hearty endorsement and sup port to Senator Sproul, now looks to him fo leadership, as Governof-elect of the Commonwealth, in the move for ratification at the coming meet ing of the State Legislature. "In no state of the union is there greater reason for rejoicing over Tuesday's victory at the polls than In Pennsylvania. With a Governor elected who, in no uncertain way. has declared himself in favor of rati fication, and a Legislature in sym pathy with his platform and position on the temperance issue as well as on other questions of vital impor tance, it now becomes the duty of all well-thinking people, who believe in.thc principle of the "greatest good to the-greatest number" and in hu man safety first, to continue their loyalty and support of both the Gov ernor and the league in their plans and movements until the Legislature at the coming session, has cast its ballot and made Pennsylvania one of the thirty-six states needed to write the amendment into the con stitution." RATIFIES I>KY AMENDMENT Washington. Nov. 6.—Advices to the Democratic National Committee announced that the prohibition amendment in Florida has carried. Text of Latest U. S. Ntfte to Germany Secretary Lansing last night handed a note to Minister Sulzer, of Switzerland. The note says: In my note of October 23, 1918, 1 advised you that the President transmitted his correspondence with the German authorities to the governments with which the government of the United States is associated as a belligerent, with the suggestion that, if those governments were disposed to ac cept peace upon the terms and principles indicated, their mili tary advisers and the military ad visers of the United States be asked la submit to the gov ernments associated against Germany the necessary terms of such an armistice as as would fully protect the inter ests of the peoples involved and insure to the associated govern ments the unrestricted power to safeguard and enforce the details of the peace to which the German government had agreed, provided they deem such an armistice pos sible from the military point of view. The President is now in receipt of a memorandum of observations by the Allied governments on this correspondence, whiqh is as fol lows: "The Allied governments have given careful consideration to the correspondence which has pass- i. ► * T T * W vvvvifwvv vv* y r * T T T T ¥ ▼ W * T ¥.¥ T ¥ T.T.T.T TTTf ?1 Great United War Work MEETING Thursday Evening, Nov. 7, 1918 ; I Chestnut Street Auditorium < ► < [ Speaker: HENRY MORGANTHAU !► Formerly U.

Subject to the qualifications which follow, they declare their willing ness Xo make peace with he gov ernment of Germany on the terms of peace laid down in the Presi dent's address to Congress on January, 1918, and the principles of settlement enunciated in his subsequent addresses. They must point out, however, that clause two relating to what is usually described as the freedom of the seas, is open to various inter pretations, some of which they could not accept. They must, freedom on this subject when therefore, reserve to themselves complete freedom on this subject when they enter the peace con ference. "Further, in the conditions of peace laid down in his address to Congress of January 8, 1918, the President declared that invaded territories must be restored as well as evacuated and freed, the Allied governments feel no doubt ought to be allowed to exist as t what this provision implies. By it they understand that compen sation will be made by Germany for all damage done to the civi lian population of the Allies and their property by. the aggression of Germany by land, by sea and from the air." I am instructed by the Presi HXRRISBURO Gfisjflfr TELEGRAPH dent to say that ho is in agree ment with the interpretation set forth in the last paragraph of the memorandum above quoted. I am further instructed, by the President to request you to notify the German government that Marshal Foch has been author rized by the government of the United States and the Allied gov ernments to receive properly ac credited representatives of the German government and to com municate to them the terms of an armistice. Accept, sir, the renewed as surances of my highest consider ation, HOBERT LANSING. LETTERS FROM THE FRONT Notes of Harrisburg Soldiers Following are interesting extracts ' front recent letters of Harold As trtch of the Motor Supply service !to his mother and sister in this city: j "Bob Fohl was here yesterday and stayed with us over night. It was j the first time we met qn this side, i He looks just the same as ever. "Gee, those poor soldiers must I have It tough now. Just hold up j your hand and be taken along ip ;an auto. I wish I were one of those ! soldiers. "I believe we will soon see the I end of the war, for the Allies are i driving from all parts and doing i great work. Fritz is pretty near •flnisse' as they say here. While we anxiously await the arrival of papers here, we haven't cotne to the point of preferring anything to eating. That is the most important part of the day. "John Rausch from the Ammunl ! tion Train is camping with us as i j he must draw rations for his organ- i I ization every day, so he just goes | along with the truck from here. "We are Just the same old bunch j here, always 'ribbing' each other j and 'raising Cain' to keep up the spirits. We are all in the best of , health am. are eager to finish up I this Job. Don't you worry one mite about us for wo will soon cftnie | marching home as safe and sound ias when we left. Must close and 1 make use of the best 'Uncle Sam' j gave us, namely the six pieces of | finest aluminum ware; one knife, | one fork, one spoon, one cup, one ; 'mess' kit (two pieces)." • "I heard from both of you yester day, so was pretty well pleased. Then besides, 1 had a nice warm bath in a town near here where all our boys are ullowed to go. It has become quite cold here now, so a warm bath is a luxury even thou It is only three little streams about I as big as a piece of twine. Felt fine afterwards and have plenty of blankets, so was not the least bit cold. "Dan Gurnett is in here writing home too, so his mother should hear from hint at the same time. "Thff clippings you send are al ways put on the otflce desk and the j boys all read them. They are mighty Interesting. "I ant sorry we are not in Ilar rlsburg to enjoy the privileges and entertainment of the Hostess house. Sounds mighty fine to nte. "Oije of our boys brought back a wounded comrade on his back, stopped *at the Y. M. C. A. and re turned eating a piece of chocolate, running as hard as he could to get up to the front again. That is real spirit, and ho comes from Car lisle. "I have not seen Capt. Stackpole as yet, but have heard reports of him several times. They say he is very daring and wonderfully cour ageous in action, and his men would do anything for him." "You know It is a treat for the whole company when any one re ceives snap-shots, scraps from tlje papers or a letter which makes some nice reference to the boys. "Today is my birthday and it sure was a typical rainy day which seems to be clearing now, but it will probably rain towards evening. I have a whole bunch of cigars, smoking tobacco and a few cigar ettes on hand, which is unusual and mighty comforting." "Well, wo are camped in barracks now, evidently for a rest period; but for how long we do not know as our trucks are still at work but not exactly at the front as we had been. "At present I am writing In a Y. If, C. A. hut which is also a 'foyer de soldat' but there are only our boys in it. They are playing a piano anu singing; Just having a rare good tfhie. We all feel quite confident that the war will be over and we will all be home before long. Every day we hear some good news about the war and It will e\entua!ly lead to the end of It. "I had a letter from Frank Peters which was written from this side. I My letter to htm had crossed the water both ways, but arrived safely. Frank is in a nice service over here and is well. We are both watching and hoping to meet soon." "I am having a hard time trying to concentrate my mind on writing while the crowd is singing and play ing. On my birthday an American girl and three soldiers entertained our train for a little while in the evening. The girl and one fellow sang and danced, another played the piano and the other played a violin. They must have been here just for my birthday as it was the jnly one of the kind we have had .jver here. Then later we made fudge in our tent (a piece of canvass stretched over a couple of boughs) on a crudely constructed stove, which we had to heat our tent. We ate fudge while 'Jerry's' airplanes were flying overhead. It was one of the Inci dents of army life which I will never forget. At any rate, I had quite a happy birthday even tho we were 'Somewhere in France' near the front. "Yesterday we passed thru a former battle ground which was the most weird looking 'No man's land' that I have ever seen. All the trees and fields, villages and telegraph poles were completely de stroyed. Great, huge 'dug-outs' were standing Just as they had been evacuated by the 'Huns', also many huts built out of green timber, and little rustic bridges and fences. Austrian Armistice Cuts Off German Oil Washington, Nov. 6.—One effect of the elimination of Austria from the war, the fuel administration an nounces, will be the cutting off of Germany's supplies of fuel oil and gasoline. Germany has been obtaining fuel oil and gasoline from Galatia and Rumania, and was planning to Im port extensively from the Caucus, but under the terms of the Aurtrlan armistice all traffic between Ger many and her former ally must stop. Within the v German borders there are no supplies of fuel oil, and Infor mation possessed by the fuel admin istration la that Germany has been using benzol, a derivative of coal tar, for lubricating oil. This latter source, it was said, will not supply German needs. CAKSAR RITZ DIES New York, Nov. 6.—Caesar Rits, who established the Rita system of hotels in prominent cities In Europe and the United States, died Monday night at a sanatorium in Luserne, Switzerland, according to a cable gram received here last night, TO PRBVBNT GRIP AND UVFL.URNKA EAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tab lets taken in time will Prevent Grip and Influenza. B, W. GROVE'S signs ture on box. I0o Advertisement, Thero were miles and miles of trenches and barbed wire entangle ments. There were many dug-outs built with solid concrete right In rock, and had windows and steel doors. The trenches were built right under roads with concrete and were wonderful. The roads fre quently had a perfect screen of camouflage. Forests were com pletely burned out leaving only a bare tree trur\k here and there. No inhabitants were to be seen in the villages, only houses and churches, public buildings knocked away so that only the walls or parts of the walls were left standing. The only cheerful thing we saw was a big German prisoner stockade." Many times 1 have seen a peas ant family returning to their home with all their possessions on a curt or two, cows, chickens, dogs, cats and all, only to find their homo look ing more Itko a huge pile of debris than anything else. It is sights like these which make the blood of Young America boil and which is bringing victory to the Allies. The Germans do not lack ingenuity but they are not in the right, and even though they might surpass the Al lies in warfare, they will never again know of victory for them. The co operation, force and power of our combined troops are gradually and effectively moving them back and closing around them. We are con fident of victory, but we have to take time, for it is a big job which must be done thoroughly and we'll do it. The American spirit scents to ef fervesce everywhere. Our troops literally cover all of France as well as parts of Belgium and Italy and I believe in Russia too. Anywhere you can hear them "raising Cain." Their spirit is won derful and the morale equally as good. Each man has his individual duty, from the coast to the front, as well as our troops at home, and the sailors on the sea, and each one can be depended upon to do his part. This is why we are progressing. H loads ofyour mind and put them || H9F 212-214 North Second St. HQ . NOVEMBER 6, 1918. Mother's Pet Needs aCascaret / Baby is mad!
