GERMAN GOODS IN FRANCE.
Government Sells Cigarettes in Stock
of Teutonic Make.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
PARIS, France. October 29.-The
government tobacco monopoly has
in a sense caused France to continue
as q purveyor OF goods made in Ger
many" Notwithstanding the senti-
ment against the use of any goods ex-
cept those made at home or in allied
or neutral countries. At the outbreak
of the war largo stocks Of German
cigarettes were on hand and it ap-
pears that French need, or possibly
thrift, demands their sale and con-
sumption.
Resolutions have been passed asking
public prosecutors to compel the Sc
questration of all commercial estab-
lishments owned by Germans or Aus
trians that are continuing business un-
der disguises. The pencil trade, which
was almost entirely in the handa of
German and Austrian firms, offers an
opportunity to American and English
! makers.
One Austrian house, in an effort to
save its business, resorted to the ex-
pedient of hoistinR the American Tag

to do SO because 1T held the agency of

The damp fogs which prevail in this
bleak country at this season Of the year
make observations by aviators almost
impossible and artillery action Is very
difficult. Hampered by these disadvan-

be Ineffective. and the allies are said to
be more than holding their own.

renewed activity and are declared to be
making considerable headway. notably
between Soupir and Bray-en-Lannois.

their accomplishments.
Promoting Junior Contests.
"A farmers institute lecture is now
given place on the chautauqua and
public health lecture platforms. The
institutes are promoting Junior contest
work in growing corn. potatoes. pigs
and other farm products. The institute
meetings assist the farmer in discov-
ering the cost of producing a bushel of
grain, a pound Of meat, the expense of
conducting his business and the receipts
therefrom.
Committees from bankers associa-
tions, chambers of commerce, boards of
trade and Y. NJ. c. AS now work with
the farmers institutes.
Institute lecturers are carried free on
railway systems and steamboats, in
many sections, thus indicating the CO.
operation of great railway companies
and the big business men of the ma
ton generally. The institute lectures
now include sessions for women, at
which sanitation, home decoration.
home making and home cooking topics
are discussed. The Farmers Institute
urges the Importance of the appear
ance and convenience of the farm
home, thereby making life more de-
sirable and more profitable on the
farm. and it even urges farmers to
print on their letterheads pictures of
their homes and the names of their
wives and children"

In his opinion some Of the courses on
farm management now offered at various

that will sell profitably, but such as WILL

LIQUOR DEALERS ASK
REHEAR|NC BY BOARD
Anti-Saloon League Plans Opposition
to Increase in Number
of Licenses.

Liquor dealers whose applications
for license were rejected by the excise
board and who have applied for per-
mission to file new applications were
given informal hearing by the board
today. In all twenty-seven requests for
permission to make re-application are
under consideration
The only request thus far favorably
acted upon was made by P. E. and A. E.
Miller. at 14th and E streets northwest
The Anti-saloon League will oppose IA
vorable action on the application when
nounced today.
Only three applications will be per-
mitted to be filed, as under the law
only three licenses may be granted to
bring the total number of saloons in
the District up to 800. the maximum
number permissible. Indications are
that the Anti-Saloon League will enter
a protest in all three cases.
Anti-Saloon Leagues Aim.
Absolute prohibition in the District OF
Columbia in the near future is the goal
toward which the Anti-Saloon League
is working.
This was the statement of A. f. Shoe
'hdnSi' dlloiHey lot tHc league, dI d
mass meeting held yesterday at the
Metropolitan Baptist Church. under the
auspices of the East Washington Civic
Association. He said there were rea-
sons for believing Congress would es-
tablish prohibition in the District of
Columbia at no distant date.
Mr.. Shoemaker outlined the advance
that has been made by the temperance
forces of the District since the passage
of the Jones' Works law, pointing out
that approximately two-f1fths Of the
Capitals saloons have gone out of ex-
istence since this legislation went into
effect.
He also discussed recent decisions OF
the excise board. which were a dis
appointment to liquor opponents.
Other Speakers.

ton: Rex Holmes of the Christian En-
deavor Union: Rev. Hinson V. How
lett, Rev. Paul r. Hickok, Rev. Wilbur

torney for the association.
The excise boards decisions were
roundly scored by several of the speak
ers. but no resolutions were adopted
Steps already have been taken by the
association looking toward the Pc
titioning of Congress to investigate
the so-called "inner workin- s" of the
board, and also to enact law making
