Now that it seems to be actually settled that prohibition has lost, the actual official count is waited merely to give the state the exact figures and to disclose whether or not the prohibition leaders will institute contest proceedings. The suggestion that the thunder may have been largely in the index is one of the remarks most frequently heard in connection with the threat. This ii the more notable since it was early declared sure there would be a contest and more recently the matter has been left open to doubt. That amounts to full assurances. Acceptance of the result is virtually certain. Announcement that Ohio dry workers will make a three-fold fight, not only for a dry state, but also a dry nation, was made today by James A.

"I believe," he said, "that the spirit of freedom can get into the hearts of Germansand And "as line a' welcome -there as it can find in any other heart. But the spirit of freedom does not suit .the plans of the Pan-Germans. Power cannot be used with concentrated force against free people if It Is J used by free people.

At a meeting of the new fatherland party in Munich yesterday Admiral Von Tirpitz, former German minister of marine, made a violent annexationist speech. He said the question whether Germany or Great Britain became the protector of Belgium would be the decisive issue of the war.

Ail bak eries in every city of the land are to be put under government license beginning December 10 and made subject to food administration rules governing ingredients and weights of loaves by President Wilson's procla mation planned for issuance today.

Fixed standard weights are to let consumers know which loaf is really the cheapest. 31 Three pounds of sugar Instead of six, are to be allowed for a barrel of flour, and two pounds of vegetable oil instead of six pounds of lard or oil. . - Leeds Farm House Destroyed By Fire The main farm house on the farm of R.

Referring in another part of hlB speech to Russia, the president laid;. "May I not say It la amazing to me that any group of people should be so ill informed as to suppose, as some groups in Russia suppose, that any reforms planned in the interests of the people can live in the presence of a Germany powerful enough to undermine or overthrow them . by intrigue or force.

Collegians Clear Up Identity of Men Who Are Waging War; Lloyd-George is Prince of France
Startling discoveries concerning the war have been made at Earlham' college, according to The Press, the college weekly. According to the students at Earlham the newspapers and government officials have been "all wrong" in their opinions as to "who's who and what's what" in the present world struggle. One hundred and eighty three Earlham students were given a list of ten questions last week, all of the questions pertaining to the war. Here are some of the answers that were given by the college men And women, with the average of six correct answers in fen. George Geta Honor. Who is the commander of the" British armies in France? Among others, Kitchener, King George and Joffre were given this honor. ' ; Joffre was also a favorite commander for the American army, according to a large per cent of the students.

LOYAL TROOPS WITH DEPOSED PREMIER ARE NEAR CAPITAL
Tsarkoe Selo, 15 Miles From Petrograd, Held By Ker ensky Forces and Leader Is Reported Close Behind. EXTREMISTS END SEEN WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. Latest reports today from Ambassador Francis to the state department strengthen the belief that the Kerensky government would regain the ascendency in Petrograd. The dispatches, however, were sent prior to the news that Kerensky had reached Tsars koe Selo in his march on Petrograd. Regarding conditions outside of Petrograd the ambassador was uninformed. In earlier dispatches he has stated his inability to report on the outside situation because of the wires being controlled by the BolshevikL FIGHTING PROCEEDS IN STREETS OF PETROGRAD PETROGRAD, Sunday, Nov. 1L Street fighting is proceeding constantly. Junkers loyal to the Kerensky government regained possession of the telephone station this morning. Thaj exact whereabouts of the Kerensky1, army, which is reported to be appreaching the city, is unknown at this t hour. Fighting Is In progress in the Grand i Morskaia between Bolsheviki infan-l try and Junker forces in armored cars. fBy Associated Press) Premier Kerensky at the head of. 200,000 loyal troops is marching on ' Petrograd, where the Maximalists rapIdly are losing power. The Polshevikl , uprising In Moscow was abortive apparently and the loyal troops have driven the revolutionaries into the Kremlin. General Korniloff, leader of the fu-t tile revolt of some weeks ago, Gen- i eral Kaledines, former Hetman of the Don Cossacks; Michael Rodizlano, president of the duma, and Prof. Mllukoff, constitutional democrat leader, are reported to be forming a government In Moscow. Probably such an organization would be more conser vative than' the"Kefensky"mfnIstiT' and whether It Is suporting Kerensky Is not yet Indicated. Loyalists Near Capital. The BolaneviU and the Kerensky forces have not engaged in extensive fighting. Loyal troops occupied Tsarrograd, and Premier Kerensky and his troops are reported at Catchina, about thirty- miles south-southwest of the capital Food supplies in Petrograd are reported low, and the Cossacks there are backing the Minimalists, in resisting the Maximalists. Apparently there have been no further defections to the Bolsheviki from the army and garrisons and Petrograd and Moscow appear to have been the only large cities affected by the uprising of the followers of Lenine. Loyalist troops control the chief wireless station, one report from which 6ays that the overthrow of the revolt is "only a matter of days or hours." This is borne out in part by the lack of timely advices from the Bolsheviki headquarters in Petrograd. The radical element in Finland has seized the opportunity to attempt to set up a separate government. Governor General Nekrasoff has been dismissed and his place taken by a sailor, and a state of war has been proclaimed. The Finnish diet has voted to give supreme power in the province to a state directorate. DRUGGIST SOUGHT CLEVELAND, Nov. 12. John F.
