"A^eil. Will it he peace or war""' he1
asked In the course of a conversat on. j
"Will the allies let us have petee?"

i">urlng his visit to Paris, Ismet 'as
been much disturbed by reports that
the allies were awar.ging term* of peace j
before th? opening of the conference,
and that later they would merely nrcscnt t
him w-lth joint terms that would not ]
permit discussion.
Trt many nuar'ers the-e ;> apparently 1
much speculation as the eventual Al

tempt to continue the occupation of i
Constantinople or to restrict Turkish con- j

would .be no sbiution other tlian war.
"Mv Instructions on that point tire at-j

Whatever satisfies the allies and others j

Turkish spokesmen indicate that if'

Mr. Hardings
Dryness Is I
Not Shaken j
By DA VXD X.AWR JSjrCB
(Copyright by Th? lntaliigcacer) j}
No*. T7. ? President I
Hardirg hasn't changed hi* views on '
the prohibition viue.^tion. Ho voted as i
a member of the senate for the e'gh- j
teerifh amendment *n.j also for tho Vol- I
?trad act. Whatever letters he has i
written before an'I after the election '
discussing prohibition !n its relation j
*o the vote 'n eastern states was not
intended as a forecast of what he him-I
se'f might favor, bur an Interpretation
of what might he forthcoming tn con-{
gr^ss and in the several states. >
That's the poeitlcn of tlie chirf execu-I
rive a* it w-as outlined to this corres
pondent today. .Mr. Harding hasn't any
Idea o. .nltlatlr.g any change ;n the Vol-I
?toad law by recommendation to con
gresa. H? ha* received several letters
i from prominent Republicans tn eastern
states telling him the wet sentiment
must be reckoned with. Mr Harding
has courteously acknowledged these 1
communications and has given it as his j
personaJ opinion that there was a shift
ing of views going or in the country }
today. ye didn't attempt to say tn
what directioa the shift would lead ?
concretely, but h?> did h.r.t 'ha: he
thought !? would be in the matter "f
regulation, namely changes in the Vol-,
? lead law.
In this respect Mr. Harding was <:m- j
ply availing himself of the same privtU |
ege of any other voter tn siring up J
what the last election meant and what!
the effect would be on congress. The
president Isn't saying what his own
views would be If congress put up to
him to sign a bill which modified the .
Volstead act. He would have to con-'
sider whether he believed the modifl- j
cation was In direc^ violation of the!
eighteenth amendment or whether it i
merely removed some of the obnoxious
features of the enforcement law with- j
out destroying the fundamental purpose :
of the prohibition amendment.
Sees Shifting'of Views.
There is every reason to believe Mr. i
Harding's prognostications have not
gone any further than thai. Signifi
cance. nevertheless, can be attached to j
:He fact that Mr. Harding did write j
some letters cn tho subject to party as- >
sociat's. tha' he does believe the is
sue .a so acute that It will not be ahau-I
doned and that there has been a shift- |
in? of views among soir.o voters on the
subject.
Bnfor cement Attacked.
Even the most ardent champions of
prohibition wll! concede that there has!
been a "shlftlug of views," but they j
w-.U argue that It Is incidental to. the
discussion of so widespread a reform
and that in many places the reaction
iga iust prohibition was Inevitable be- '
cause of the miserable attempts at law 1
enforcement made by tho>? not in sym-1
pathy with the eighteenth amendment. !
The growth of the "bootlegger - has. of S
coursd, helped to stir up resentment!
for there are people in the country who
think conditions are much worse today
.than they were In tho old "wet" days, i
The prohibitionists can marshal argu
ments showing that the morality of
America is better and that tho damage
which prohibition used to do has been
materially reduced and some concrete j
benefits given to the Ansri an house-j
hold, but that doesn't destroy the fact !
that in populous s'ates like Massachu-'
sett:-. New Jersey and New York pro- i
hibitlon was a live issue th-s year and j
that prominent Republicans took, the !
we? end of the argument
Mr Harding !s merely refejr-ng in
Ms letters to th? movement "for the j
r edification of th? Volst-ad law. ano !
he p-edtcts tt w'!l corne up for serious I
consideration. He doesn't rrpph?sv It '

EAST LIVERPOOL AND CUMBERLAND IN
i FINANCIAL MIRE, FURLOUGH FIREMEN
AND POLICEMEN; MAY CUT SCHOOL YEAR
? /
Cumberland, Md., Nov. 17.? Because
of being hard hit for funds, Cumber
land has been put to the extremity, the
first time in its history, of furloughing
members of the police and fire depart
ments. Pour patrolmen have heen
dropped and three firemen have been
put on the furlough list. The roduo
tion has created dismay in both de
partments, which already hpd been
working short-handed. The suspended
men may seek other employment and
not return.
The action was decided upon at a
meeting of the mayor and city coun-j
cil, when the question of the city's)
finances came up. All the men fur-j
loughed have had several years' ex-i
perience or more in their departments.!
It is stated that additional men might)
be furloughod in the next few months i
because of tvo lack of money. The!
fiscal year begins April 1.
The dropping of the police leaves;
but nine men on duty at night and
eight on day duty. Both Chief Oscar!
IA Eyerman and Assistant Chief of)
! Police J. Peter Minnicks will have to)
take care of beats in the business sec
tion. This gives the city, which has)
almost doubled population in that
time, the smallest police force in 15
years.
Special Dispatch to The Intelligencer.
East Liverpool, O., Nov. 15.? With
tho municipality and school treasury
face to face with bankruptcy as a re
sult of the electors' defeat of proposed
tax levies, the city council and board
of education today adopted drastic re
trenchment policies Council enacted
a resolution dismissing four policemen
and nine firemen, the order to become
effective December 1. This decrcee
will reduce the police force to six
members and flro department to a per
sonnel of eleven.
The board of education, with no
hope of obtaining $55,000 needed to
pay teachers' salaries, announced that
the school term worM be reduced
from nine to seven months unless pa
rents of pupils agreed to pay tuition.
A petition approving the tuition pro
posal will be placed in circulation
Monday in an effort to thwart the
closing of the schools on April 1.
These two predicaments follow a
200 day tie-tip of street ear lines and
a 48 days strike ?n the potteries, the
city's chief industry, settlement of
which appears far distant.
