not more grave, than any that have
confronted the nation since the war
started.
The attitude OF the government to-
ward the Teutonic announcement has
not been fully determined,
The administration has learned
that Berlin Is sending here photo
graphed copies OF British instructions
to vessels to ram or run" when
sighting submarines. Upon these or

they are justified In their new course.
The German note, announcing the
new policy operative after February
20, does not distinguish between pas
senger and freight merchant ships,
and declared that both would be sunk
without warning II they are armed,
The Austrian announcement has
also reached here and will be turned
over to President Wilson with the
Berlin notice. Both will be made
public tomorrow. VA
It is admitted that II this govern
ment takes the German view the

 Dr. Crafts has been known as a moral reformer and religious leader for the last 49 years and from his many experiences is able to speak in the most, forceful and Illuminating manner.
 The Reform bureau has carried 16 laws in Congress of them relat- ing to intoxicants, at home and abroad; j; two to divorce; three to the purity crusade, including the cleaning up of Washington by the injunction meth cd; and another, of which the coun- try has reaped the great benefit, the law to prohibit the importation and interstate transportation of prize fight films. The newest undertaking of the bureau is to put wall charts of the commandments on all school walls on the ground they are the foundation of our civic and social as we'll as religious institutions and because in these days only half of the youth attend Sunday schools. -z@

BOYCOTT BRINGS DOWN EGG COST
 IN METROPOLIS

New York, Nov. 29.-The price of cold storage eggs at wholesale was one to two cents lower today than yesterday morning when the egg boy colt began. Eggs sold at 34 to 3S cents a dozen, according to grade. The av- craze price for fresh eggs was 63 cents,. as compared with 55 at this time year ago. The price of fresh eggs showed no change from yester- day.
 Referring to the boycott the Produc- CTS Price Current says:
 The demand (for eggs) is naturally restricted by the high prices ruling and by an abnormal effect of boycott and newspaper agitation but the re- qu1rements of fine fresh stock are suf- nclent to absorb the small supply of such available at firm prices.''
 Some of the wholesale dealers as- serted that the boycott would play into the hands of foreign buyers. They said that men who want eggs for export are waiting for a reduction in price.
 The Housewives League today con- tlnued active missionary work to dis courage the use of eggs. One method Is an endless chain telephone appeal One woman called up 25 of her friends, asked them to abstain from eggs for two weeks and then asked each of these 25 to call 25 of her women friends and deliver the same message.
