Prohibition Urged That Type of
Men 'With Social Instinct Be
Saved From Themselves.
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Oct. 15. A tribute
to the class of men who become drunkards-was
paid by Ira Landrith, the Pro
hibition candidate for Vice-President.
in an address to young women at Ward-
Belmont College in Nashville today.
"Don't Judge the drunkard too hard
ly," Landrith said. "For one thing, he
never is a tightwad. He who worships
the eagle on the dollar seldom wor
ships the bottle oh the shelf. The
mean, miserly, narrow skinflint does
not get drunk. The man who becomes
a drunkard likes men; the miser has no
social Instinct. Prohibition of the
liquor traffic will save to us a genera
tion of men who would give blessing
to their time."
None of the other speakers abandoned
Jthe special during the day. Frank
Hanly, the Presidential nominee, rested
his voice for the strenuous Idiana in
vasion tomorrow.

OR NO JOB-CAN WE AFFORD
Political and Military
Circles Are Silent.
RESISTANCE IS ENCOURAGING
Belief Held That Central Pow
ers Need Not Yield.
ALL AGREE AS TO TERMS
Germany and Austria-Hungary Are
Willing to Quit if Poland Is
Made Autonomous and Eu
ropean Lines Restored.
VIENNA. Oct. 15. With a keen long
ing for peace has come persistent spec
ulatlon In the central states as to the
manner In which this blessing may be
secured. But all thought on the sub
ject is but the substance of the per
son's own wishes. Political and mili
tary circles today are as far from
seeking a definite plan for the cessa
tion of the war as they were in the
beginning.
If the fear prevailed In the central
states that a peace with honor, and
possibly profit, could not be secured,
then thought might run in a different
channel. But that the entente has not
shown that it can ultimately realize Its
own hopes 1s the universal view held
in Austria-Hungary and Germany and
their allied countries.
Resistance Is Eaeoarajclnv,
The offensive in the Somroe. the Rus
sian attack in Bukowlna and in East
Galicia, the entry into the war of Rou
mania and its immediate consequences,
the campaign from Saloniki and the
exertions of the Italians have all con
tributed toward the feeling in the cen
tral group that the resistance met by
the entente may yet open the eyes of
those who must first announce that
they will be satisfied with a peace
whose terms will not have the dismem
berment of central Europe as a basis.
The central governments are ready
today for a peace which would leave
Europe very much as before the war,
with the exception that Poland must
be made an autonomous state and that
neither Belgium nor Serbia can again
trouble. Innocently or purposely, the
quiet of Europe.
Entente Gives No Hint.
There Is here not the faintest Indi
cation that the entente is inclined to
enter negotiations on that basis. In
Vienna and Berlin, on the other hand,
nobody can yet see why the central
group should make concessions, since
they claim to hold through themselves
everywhere by the occupation of enemy
territories so large that the few ad
vantages gained by the entente can
bardly count. Had the Summer opera
tions driven the central troops out of
