Jerusalem Will Fall.

The German newspapers are prepar-
ing the public for the loss OF Jerusalem.
The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
says to cling to places (which would
bring us no military advantage would
be tantamoun to the useless sacrifice
of numerous Turkish forces and our
own troops and would likewise involve
serious losses" After discussing the
difficulty Of reinforcing the defenders,
It says:
Amy way the abandonment of Je-
rusalem, which is within the bounds
of possibility, certainly would be an
extremely painful loss, in view OF tns
city's natural historical past. but no
military change would be caused by
such a course"
Lieut.. Gen. Won Ardenne in the Tage-
blatt attributes the Turkish retreat
from Jaffa to the great range OF the
guns Of the British feet, and adds:
Jerusalem is not equipped for de-
tense. Therefore 1t is not improDaDis
that this advanced position VIII be
abandoned by the Turks" He insists
Ibis will in nowise alter the military
situation.

MEAT PROFITS FIXED.

Lower and Moro Stable Prices Will
Be Result Of Government Action.
Chicago, Nov. 26.-The packing in
dustries Of the United States are to
be forced into one of the big weapons
of the government in winning the war;
according to the statement Of Joseph
P, Cotton, chief of the meat division
Of the food administration, who an
nounces that the first step has been
taken to regulate the packers.
Mr.. Cotton will have complete con-
troll Of the packers, big and little. The
profit in the meat business must In no
case exceed 2.5 per cent of the sales
that Is, of the money obtained thru
sales Of meat not over 2k cents ont
of each dollar can go to profit. More
over, the annual earnings of the meat
business of the five big packers Is sub
ject to an additional limit. 1t can not
exceed 9 per cent on the average CAPT.
tai necessarily used in the business.
The new system is intended to abol-
ish speculative gain ard prevent unfair
profits, so that the price OF meat
TO the retailer and producer Will be
both stable and cheaper. Detailed rules
and regulations are to be issued to de-
fine the general principles outlined and
to prevent diversions or concealment
OF profits the packers accounts being
subject to constant scrutiny. Smaller
packers will be protected from the
larger. Adjustment Of pork prices at
the expense of beef or mutton Is not
permitted, or vice persia.
The rates of profit, as stated will go
into effect as Of Nov. l. according to
Mr.. Cotton's statement. The necessit-
les Of war and public welfare may re-
Quire frequent changesC in the rules.

CANDY INDUSTRY HIT.
Sugar Ruling Leaves Some Makers
Unable to Fill Requirements

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Advices from
New York were to the effect that
Cuban sugar growers. after a confer
ence Thursday night, accepted the offer
Of the United tSates food administra-
ton OF $3.50 hundred pounds for
sugar f. o. b. Cuban ports.
1t Is predi2ted that the raw sugar
from the new Cuban crop will com
mence 10 flow to the New York market
not later than the middle Of next
month. Prices for sugar in some years
have been comparatively low in De-
cehmber, but this year it is felt that
prices for December may be higher
than the limits fixed for Cuban raw
sugar. The prevailing price for the
old crop is $50 cents pound, cost and
freight, duty paid.
Candy Orders Cancelled
The candy industry is being hit by
regulations affecting the distribution
Of sugar. This is estimated to have
resulted in the cancellation Of hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars worth Of
orders and large redu 2ti3ns in deliver
les on other orders.
Under the origina rui ing Of the food
administration, sugar refners and
dealers were to be prevented from
selling any sugar to thu candy manu-
facturcTs until the new Cuban crop
WAS available. This ruling was later
SO modified as TO allow them a maxi
mum Of so per cent Of their norma. re-
quirements. 1t appears, however, tie
manufacturers are finding it difficult
to get as much as 20 pc: cent Of their
require rlents and some Of them have
obtained scarcely any sugar for two or
three weeks.
Operating 40 Per Cent.
The New England Confectionery
Company, the largest manufacturer
under q single head devoted exclusively
to candy manufacture, is operating at
about 40 per cent Of capacity and has
received but little sugar since Nov. /.
The United Drug Company, which has
a large candy plant, is getting 20 per
cent Of its sugar needs. The Walter
NJ. Lowney Company, a large manu-
facturer Of chocolates, bon bons, and
other candies, is getting but small
| portion of its sugar requirements.
1t Is a conservative estimate that the
| confectioners of Massachusetts, alone
| had s1OO00,O0O worth of business on
| hand when the restriction on sugar
| distribution was PLACED.

It was left to the states of the west

larger number Of recruits in proportion
to population than any other section
of the country.
Nevada raised its quota seven times
over This Is partially explained by
the fact that Nevada is the only state
in the union with no national guard.

WALLACE Wins CITY
CUE CHAMPIONSHIP
Killeens Lack of Form Shows in
Last Nights Play.

Walter Wallace is the new District
champion at pocket billiards. Last night,
at the Grand Central Parlors, Wallace
experienced very little difficulty in de-
featinE Eddie Killeen in the play-off
game for the title
In the tournament, which was brought
to close last Friday night. Wallace
and KIlleen tied for first honors, and il
was agreed TO play a one-hundred point
match to decide the title holder and
winner OF first prize money.
At no stage of last nights play was
kllleen ever dangerous: he repeatedly
blew shots that the veriest novice would
blush to miss. Time and again the run
ner-up would have the balls open on the
table and n big run in sight only to miss
very easy shot. His poor form can
be attributed more to a lack of practice
than anv other one thing. although he
did upon two occasions manage TO click
of eleven of the eggs.
Wallace played a steady. heady and
careful game throughout, not once leav-
ing the cue ball I'm position where KiIIeen
would have a chance of cleaning the
table. His highest run OF the evening
was fourteen.
Immediately after the game. Sam Sond-
heimeT. well known to local followers of
the cue game. challenged Wallace to q
match of 100 points, to be played al
the Grand Central Parlors. Wallace ac-
cepted the challenge and the match will
be shot within the next two weeks
