••%.••

How many of the 250 liquor licenses to Vigo county that expire on the 15th drf January next will be renewed?

Ttiat is a question which is frequently asked these day*, and few undertake to make a cjose estimate.

Licenses can only be renewed until April l, though there are plenty who hope for supreme court action that will lender the prohibition law passed by the last legislature inoperative.

Jt Is known that many aaloonkeepftrs have decided to go out of business tfhen their present licenses expire whether or not the prohibition law ia filled. tne reason,for this decision is that many saloonkeepers are feeling the effects of the heavy war ta* on liquors To operate at a profit they have had tb advance the pricea of drinks and patrons of saloons in the outlying districts and some in the business section can't afford the luxury of strong j,! &rink at the increased tariff. if Mure saioon Hot-rises expire in January than in any other six months in the year, though licenses really date from the tirr^ the walooh opens for busines#. The city and county license

Ifi $500 per year^The government license is $25 per year for retailers and 1100 on wholesale liquor stores, The government license in every case expires on June 30.

In the revenue district for which Ifcarifc Ptrouse Is collector there are tnore than 2,S0p licensed saloons and 5rug stores.

Many saloonkeepers have already Advertised their application for renewIlls of licence. Some ^dealers admit they are willing to pay $100 or so to keep their licenses alive in the Hope .Something will turn up which might make matters look brighter for them, as the sudden ending of the war, or the killing of the prohibition law. Incidentally some saloonkeepers are

Jpea"hed by the draft Just as other men lire readied by it, and have gone or •ret preparing to Join the colore.

Count Czernin explained the position of the central powers' in a statement which he read at the second session of the peactf oonfenence at 10 o'clockTuesday eve. Hw statement follows: "The delegations of the allied rrentonic) powers, acting upon the clearly expressed will of their governments and peoples, will conclude as soon as possible a general peace. The delegations, in complete accord with the repeatedly expressed viewpoint of their governmenta, think that the basic principles of the Russian delegation can be made the bp.sis of such a pea^e.

they will not prolong the war a sing e day. The governments of the allies imswervinglj hav e fol--.wed this view all the time. They solemnly declare their resolve immediately to sign terms of peace which will stop this war on the.above terms, equally just to all belligerents without exception. "It is necessary, however, to indicate most clearly that the proposals of the Russian delegation could be realized only in the case all the powers participating in the war, obligate themselves to such terms, not having the guaranty that Russia's allies wnl recognize and carry out these terms honestly without reservation v/tth regard to the quadruple allience."

By Associated Press.

Virtual acceptance of the peace terms offered by Russia was made by (the central powers in a statement issued to the peace conference Tuesday by Count. Czernin, the Austro-Hungar-ian foreign minister. The Teutonic allies, however, cannot bind themselves to the Russian terms unless Russia's allies also rccognize them and carry them out honestly toward the central powers.

Peace without forcible annexations and indemnities is agreeable to the central powers and they will conclude a general peace immediately on condition# equally just to all the belligerents. The Central powers share Russian condemnation of a prolongation of the war for the purpose of conquest. Count Czernin agrees that people have the right of self-definition but say* that subject nationalities must solve their problem under the law« of the countries under whose sway they live The return of German's lost colonies is made an essential part of the German conditions for peace.
