CAKE, TAKES PLACE OF BREAD

BERLIN, Dec. 9--One of the local papers says concerning bread: "German science We know set it. self to the task of reducing the in- conveniences of a blockade to a minimum,s and as far as our bread is concerned, it has met with an ab- solute success.
 Besides the official bread, adopt ed and authorized by the federal authorities, which consists of a mixture of potato flour and wheat floury it has invented several kinds of fancy bread which satisfy all capacities, and appeal to every taste. Professor Ramp of Bonn, has created the sugar bread, which is as delicious as it is nourishing. Professor Emmelich has given us the bread with chalk, which is rich in nutriment; while other scientists have invented bread made with skinned milk and bread made from milled straw.
 Finally the royal bakeries at Munich have just placed on sale a new kind of bread which will satis- even the most fastidious. It is made from six pounds of prunes or unpealed potatoes, ten grams of carbonate, of soda and one po,Ind of sugar to every ten pounds of rye flour. This bread, which tastes most delicious, will keep fresh for two weeks. The allied powers pre- vent us from eating ordinary bread, let us. therefore eat cake.
 "The plain official war bread is not at all bad when you get used to it."

responsibility or which rests only on the citizens, and when given full publicity by the School Board, must be solved by them through theil Council and Legislature. The neet of Territorial legislative enactment providing school funds, to make uI for the lack of inadequate munici- pal funds, was suggested, to be borne in mind, when legislative elections occur again.
 , Various other proposals for re- lief came up, indicative of the straits to which lack of local school provisions have come. The util- ization of the play shed for school room was one, and the use of the Court Room in the Court House as a class room, was another. Even the use of out of doors with um- brellas for shelter, was offered in preference to some school condi- tions that exist.
 At last the discussion came around to the Territorial tax on salmon canneries, payment of which has been refused the Territory by the Packers, and collection of which is now being attempted by q gentleman's agreement lawsuit, ir the Circuit Court in San Francisco between Alaska and the Packers who take her fish. If this court procedure is decided in favor of Alaska, these funds when collect ed, will be available for school and other public uses.

PARENT T-TEACHER AS
 SOCIATION MEETS
DISCUSS MATTERS OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE
 COMMUNITY
(By E. L. Sampson)

The meeting of the Parents Teachers Association at the school house, became especially interest ing last night, when Directo, Rounsfell of the School Board who is also president of the Assoc. iation, placed before the meeting the critical school situation due te the overcrowding of the school. Il was showed that the efficiency of the school is seriously impaired, in fact jeopardized, by the lack of school buildings and facilities, and lack of funds to provide them. The question of the provision of funds opened the discussion. in which both Educational Board members and citizens participated.
 Among the various proposals for relief that were made, avs that tuition be charged scholars resid- ing beyond the town limits. An other was that textbooks and school supplies should be furnished by parents instead of from the school funds. ss.'fE
 The Forest Service Fund that was the football in the last legis- lature, in order that the Interior miners and the s. E. salmon pack CTS might call each other "rob- bers," was examined carefully as a source for relief. This fund was accumulated for "school purposes, and is subject to the disposition of the legislature. The local School Board will endeavor to discover if a morsel of this fund still exists that can be obtained for immediate school relief locally.
 The statement that last year the High School had eight pupils, this year it has thirty, next year it may have fifty, not to mention similar growth in the grades brought out the need of provision for permanent and future school requirements, the growth of which to the town is matter for consid- eration. The maximum city tax rate as prescribed by law of 1.-two per cent, for school and municipal purposes" came up for attention The aplication of this law by the Ketchikan Council, by which tax of one and one-half per cent, is levied on certain property, one per cent, on other property, and other various special arrangements and agreements made by the Council with property owners regarding their taxes, was discussed. The full tax rate of two per cent, equitably applied on all property, or even one and one-half per cent, equitably applied, was proposed for the financial relief needed for the school.
 The tendancy of some to blame the council for the lack of school funds to properly provide for school needs, was met with the statement that the Council Mem bers are not responsible for their own election. This critical condi- tion in school affairs is one the

AN UNBLUSHING RECORD
Philadelphia Ledger)

The American Independence union, a neutral" organization, of which MT. Bartholdt seems to be the active head, declares that British agents are buying editorial space in Ameri- can newspapers for the dissemina- tion of pro- British opinions. The charge is not new; it might be pardoned or at least ignored if it came from ignorant and irresponsi- ble persons. But when an ex-mein- Der of congress, man of education who has had long familiarity with public affairs, makes it, there is absolutely no excuse for him. He knows it is false. He knows that American newspapers, whatever their faults, are not venal. He knows also that their condemnation of German methods and their ap- proval of the cause of the allies represent the opinion of at least nine out of ten of their readers. What object does he expect to gain by so malicious an accusation? How can he justify his conduct with his duty as a citizen of nation whose honors he has accepted and whose confidence he has enjoyed? How shall we explain the strange moral twist which is using a profession of neutrality as a cloak for treas enable propaganda?
