hours. It refused to even tilt the
lid. Thus the restricted hours in
effect almost since the beginning of
the war, namely IL o'clock to $3.50
in the afternoon and $50 to 8 in
the evening, will remain undis-
turbed during the Christmastide.
To say that this refusal of the au-
thorities to Hlisten to reason" as the
hoteimen and caterers put it, has
been disappointing, is putting it
mildly, and the result was frequent
meetings at which appeals were
drawn up, but all to no avail. Mr..
Runciman told the hotel men that
unless they revised their menus he
would do it for them and the Liquor
Control Board said something about
taking away licenses and shutting
lup the places just as they sometimes
threaten in American cities. The
hotelmen were told that it was not
la question whether or not they
would set a good example to others,
but an actual matter of food short
age. Hotel and restaurant patrons
must eat less and more cheaply. If
they do not, others will go hungry.
Housewives have also planned
simpler Christmas dinners. The
prices of meats, turkeys, ham, the
ingredients for plum puddings and
mince-pies, the raisins and nuts are
sufficiently alarming, and the possi-
bility that by buying and eating too
profusely of these things they will
imperil the food supply of others is
beginning to be realized.
Among the signs of simpler
Christmas will be the abandonment
of decorated displays in butchers.

to prolong the war;
That the churches are in hearty
sympathy with the idea of an eco
nomic Christmas is indicated by the
newspaper campaigns that have been
conducted among the bishops
throughout the country. After ex-
pressing their approval and willing
ness to cooperate, they invariably
make special plea against allowing
depression to creep into the observ-
ance of the Yuletide season.
But in depriving themselves Of
many of the good things of life at
this season the British people have
not forgotten to provide for the
soldiers and sailors. Arrangements
were made to provide every officer
and man at the front with a plum
pudding on Christmas day. Besides
hundreds of thousands of Christmas
parcels containing a large variety Of
food were sent to the boys at the
front In all the theaters of war.

London, Dec. 7.-"Wish you a
simple Christmas is to be the
Christmas greeting in England this
year. In other words, self-denial-
but a self-denial free from dismal
ness-ds to be the keynote of the
country's coming Yuletide season.
Festive extravaganza, riotous indul-
gence, and thoughtless debauchery
are to give place to simplicity, Joy,
thankfulness and thoughts for the
wounded, the sufferers, and the SOL
diers and sailors who are fighting
for their country.
The advent of the food dictator
and the realization by the British
people that after two years of war
there is urgent need for the hus-
banding of their food stores, is re-
sponsible for the simplicity of the
coming festival of joy and thanks
giving. The two previous Christ
masses in the war were celebrated
according to tradition time of
feasting and festivity and present
giving, a period of general relaxa-
tion; and of charity also. But con-
ditions have altered, the stern real
tiles of war have been brought even
closer to the people, SO that the ne
cessity for greater self-denial is
more apparent. Economy and re-
trenchment will be the watchword
this Christmas.
Already President Runciman OF
the Board of Trade has told the ho-
tel proprietors that they will have
to eliminate gala dinners and the
usual entertainments. Some of the
leading hotels had already prepared
elaborate dinners for Christmas and

plate. Still others had applied for

Just as they do in New York and

Washington, Dec. Germany
in note made public by the state
department, contended that the
British steamer Arabia. sunk in the
Mediterranean on Nov. 6, really was
"a transport ship for troops in the
service of the British government,
which is considered as an auxiliary
warship. according to international
law and therefore should be treated
like warship." Germany, like in
the Marina case, expressed readiness
to make amends If it can be shown
the submarine commander violated
any pledges to the United States.
Lansing is silent regarding the
Arabia note. Should it be shown
the Arabia was transport the

Panama, Dec. IA law to abol-

commissaries Of the Panama Canal

United States government, has been
passed by the Assembly of Panama
and signed by the president. 1t has
not, however, been published in the
Official Gazette, and will not become
effective until three days after such
publication.
The presence of the commissaries,
with their advantages of no rent,
no tariff, and reduced steamship
and railroad charges, has long been
a thorn in the flesh of the Isthmian
merchants. The number of infiuen-

privilege, given by the president Of
Panama, of buying in the commits
saries has been an obstacle in the
way of preventive action The re-
striction Of the use of the commits

TAMPA HOUSEWIVES
BRING PRICES DOWN

Prices on several commodities are
coming downward as the result OF
the activities of the Tampa House,
wives League, according to Mrs. J.
l.. Sauls, the president. She stated
last night that one grocer was re-
ported yesterday as selling fresh
country eggs at forty-five cents perl
dozen, a substantial reduction pver|
the sixty cents per dozen previously
charged for stale storage eggs. She
reported also that one grocer has re-
duced the price of butter from fifty
to forty cents.
Even with these concessions, Mrs
'Sauls said, the members of the Tam
pa Housewives League are not go|
ing to "bite." They have set th(
price they are willing to pay q
thirty-five cents per dozen for egg
and thirty-five cents per pound 70
butter and they will not make pur
chases until the prices are reduce
to that point. The HOUSEWIFE
League believes that there is infls
tion of prices more than the cond
tions warrant and that false CT
of shortage of output is being raise
to cover an attempt to wiring exit
dollars from consumers.
