LIQUOR IMPORTS FROM
VIRGIN ISLANDS ONLY
Attorney General Gregory Closes All
Other Avenues to Importation of
Distilled Alcoholic Drinks.

Washington, Nov S.--All avenues for
importation of distilled liquors for bev-
erage purposes, except from the Virgin
Islands, were closed yesterday, under in
strlctions sent to customs collectors
based on Attorney General Gregory's in
depreciation of prohibition sections OF
the food control and war tax laws.
Liquor produced on or before Oct. g.
when the revenue act was passed, may
not be imported for any purpose, but if
produced after Oct. 3, and intended for
other purposes than consumption as a
beverage it may be admitted under GUS
toms regulations yet TO be made.
Rum and other liquor made in the Vir-
gin Islands after Oct. 3, from materials
produced there, may be brought into this
country for beverage or any other pur-
poses.
The result of the order probably will
be TO admit for industrial uses quantities
of liquor now held by customs officers,
pending the attorney generals review of
ruling made several weeks ago by the
treasury solicitor, permitting importa-
tion OF liquor produced. before Oct 3.
Orders based on that ruling, which viz
tually nullified the food acts prohibition
against importation, have been with
drawn.

"WHEATLESS DAYS"
CONTEMPLATED
Discipline of Camp Is Put on
Regulation Army
Basis

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, Nov. s.
The general desire of the officers of tn
Seventy.Sixth division to do all in thei
power to help the country in the pres
ent stress incident to war, from an eco
monte as well as military point o
view, is evinced by the endeavor being
made to arrange for one or two wheat
less days on the camp menu.
The movement was started by re
quest from food administration com
mittee and Immediately taken in hand
by Colonel NJ b. Stewart, chief of staff
There is at this time no rye or graham
-four among the assets of the camp com
missary department, but application is
to be made for a sufficient supply to
carry out the plan, and with 10000 hun
CRY men going without wheat bread even
one day a week the saving of white flour
will be considerable.
Steps to the same end are being tax
en- with regard to sugar and other com
modities, of which there is present
scarcity, and while it is regarded as poor
economy to curtail the food supply of
the soldiers in any way, and policy
that will not be considered, it is believed
that they may be as well and satisfactor-
lily served by various substitutions in the
food line and thus serve the country
in a variety of ways.
With the progress of the intensified
training of the past few weeks, a new
order has been issued establishing clear
ly defined lines of camp discipline mark
ins the evolution of the division from
a school for unframed men to one of
soldiers subject to regulation military
routine.
Various laxities, that have been more
or less overlooked by officers up to the
present, will be no longer winked at.
The men of the rank and file will be held
to strict accountability for their atti-
tlIde toward their superiors for their
personal appearance and actions, and
for infractions of rules and orders rela-
tive to exactness of time and precision of
movement. Many Of the men have been
under training for two months and near
~ all for at least half that time and
their officers assume that they are thus
fitted for the final tightening of dis
ciplinary lines that make them soldiers
instead of students.
1t is the belief of the headquarters
officers that at least one fifth of all the
men in camp will make application for
a chance to attend the training school
for non commissioned officers, which is
to be opened here on Jan. 5. All the APP
plications must be made before the last
day of this month. and each platoon
commander is to select before Nov "a
a list of men from his command, whom
he believes may qualify for the school.

ORANGE COUNTY THRIFTY.
All But Per Cent of Housewives Signed

The following gives the summary OF
the returns of the food card campaign
for Orange county up to Tuesday night
The report gives the names of the towns
the number of cards assigned the towns
the number of cards reported signed, the
percentage of cards signed and the name
of the chairman of the town committee.
The towns named in the first half of
the list far exceeded the number set by
the state committee as the minimum
number to be signed. The state com
mittee set a minimum of 1924 cards to
be signed by Orange county and 1857
have been signed, an increase of about
30 per cent over the assigned number.
The apportionment of cards sent out was
made according to the population in the
ratio of one card TO four persons.
Randolph lost first place to Bradford
by one tenth of / per cent. Bradford re-
ports every house but one canvassed with

Washington, Nov. S.--European neu

Loopholes through which American
supplies might slip into Germany have
been detected.
I'VE have resolved" said the official,
that we will not feed Swedish laborers
who are working on German munitions.
We might as well ship Germany the war
material direct.
Again, the neutrals cannot under
stand why America won't send them
grain for their livestock. Until these
neutrals satisfy us that the grain won't
be fed to stock to be sold to Germany
they will not get any"

COUNT MAY BE SPY COG.
Evidence for Defendant in the Case of
Swift's Son-in-Law.

Chicago, Nov. s.--The case of Count
James Minotto, son-in-law of Louis f
Swift, the packer, was resumed before
the immigration authorities yesterday
Testimony for the defendant was heard
The technical charge against the count
is that he might become a public charge
and as such should be deported; but the
underlying purpose is to develop wheth-
er he is a cog in the German espionage
system. This the defendant vigorously
denies, and his multi-millionaire father
in-law is standing by him.
The last evidence of the government
was an affidavit from Chauncey FL

testified week ago. They knew Count

Dear Sirs:

| In the performance of your duties, yol
are requested TO read carefully instrue
tions No. /, issued Oct. l5 1917 and t,
| instruct your local dealers concerning
the price they may charge consumers fol
coal until the local price has been fixec
| by the federal fuel commissioner and tht
| local dealers are informed concerning
such fixed price.
| The temporary price, as prescribed in
| instructions No. |, will include cost al
mine, cost of transportation and gross
margin. The latter includes unloading
! from car or barge, delivery, wastage
overhead expense and net profit and must
not, for any kind of coal. exceed the
gross margin of 1915 for same kind of
each, plus 30 per cent of such gross mar
gin on account of increase of cost at
present in conducting retail coal bust
ness,
Fixed Price.
The local fixed price will be deter
mined later by the federal fuel admin
istrator. In order to assist him in this
matter, you are requested to fill out "0f-
fetal Blank of Local Fuel Committee, "
after thorough investigation of the re-
tail business of each local coal dealer.
For your instructions in this respect il is
desired that you familiarize yourself
with pamphlet entitled, Retail Prices
of Coal and Coke copy of which was
recently sent you. From this pamphlet
you will discover that the local fuel
committees do not fix prices for local
dealers, but merely recommend prices to
the state fuel administrator for his in
speetion and modification. These prices
are then forwarded to the New England
fuel administrator for approval and
thence to the federal fuel administrator,
who finally fixes the price.
In determining the prices to be recon-
mended by you for your locality, OBJ
serve that the cost Of unloading from
car or barge and the net profit are both
included in the gross margin.
On page 4 of pamphlet entitled Re
tail Prices of Coal and Coke you will

method by which the local selling price
may be determined by you for recon-
