WOULD REORGAN|ZE
 WAR DEPARTMENT
| Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15,-Reorgani- zation of the war department on a sound general staff basis and adoption of universal military service as a ma tional policy are recommended In the last annual report of Major General Hugh l.. Scott as chief of staff,
 The document is devoted almost wholly to a discussion of the staff sit nation. General Scott explaining that his long absence in Russia and his i'm pending departure for France gave him little time to prepare an adequate account of the armys preparations for the war,
 After referring to what has been ac- complished in the way of preparation, General Scott deplores the paucity of seneral staff officers and asoribes this shortage to the act of congress in 1916 which limited the total number of such officers to 55 only half of whom could be held on duty in Washington at any one time. The staff did not reach a strength of forty seven officers until congress increased that body in May 1917, the report says, and adds that had this number of officers been avail able in February and the months fol- lowing preparations for our entrance into the war would have been i'm proved and hastened."

A DAY IN NOVEMBER

Bare boughs and stormy wind-swept
 skies, A red trail blazed across the vest Sure promise when the daylight dies Of snowflakes in an empty nest. Hung on the far horizons rim, Above the distant wooded height, Just as the last red bar grows dim, A red star gleams out on the night. The dim road slips into the night, But we my good gray car and l, Sing as we take our joyous flight To where the hills of homeland lie. If all the roads that wind and wind, Like homing birds come home at last, To all worth while we left behind, What matter all the milestones
 passed?
 An, heart, what though the day must
 die,
 And what bare boughs and empty
 nest?
 And what a gray November sky If one red star shine in the west. Florence Jones Hadley, in American
 Motorist.

NATION OF ROAD BUILDERS

Time was when the American people could justly be called the most back ward of all peoples in the building of good roads. observes a writer in the current issue of American Motorist. Only generation ago it was a ven turesome traveller who undertook to cover any considerable distance except by rail or by water This reproach will be out of order in very few years if the present amazing progress in road building is kept up. The passive policy of extreme localization held un- disputed sway until 1891, when New Jersey passed a law looking to state participation in road work. The prog ress for the succeeding fifteen years was comparatively slight, however, but a start had been made.
 In 1904 the total outlay in money and labor for construction and maintenance of both roads and bridges through

BY FOOD CONTROL
 PRICES ARE LOWER
New York TimesD

The best proof of the efficiency of the food dictatorship established in Eng land by Lord Rhondda is in the loud and vociferous lamentations of dealers, and the equally lavish praise of con- sumers. who have signified their abso- lute satisfaction with the controllers measures. Unlike his predecessors, Lord Rhondda set a pace that winded the tradesmen before the end of the first lap, while his lordship is still go- ing. strong. But if the dealers are in clined to try to drop Dy the way, not so the public. It is following happily in the wake of its leader. and gaining confidence with every stride
 Lord Rhondda's plan, according to the Glasgow Herald, is the simple one of fixing both wholesale and retail prices at the actual cost of production, plus transportation charges and a fair profit to the dealer. Thus the price of meat fell from six to eight cents in one week, and may now be purchased in the best cuts at from thirty-siX to forty cents a pound, while cheaper cuts are selling for as low as twenty cents. The best Canadian cheese is Obtainable at a price of thirty-tWO cents a pound. and the highest price fof nome produced CneeSe mas been IlNeQ al tnlTly -SlA cents The dealer in butter has his profits limited to five cents a pound. with an additional charge of one cent for delivery or credit, and the best
 butter now may be purchased at from fifty two to fifty cents a pound,
 a reduction of from six 70 zen cents on | the pound.
 The price of a 4-pound loaf of bread has been fixed at eighteen cents. Sugar sells in England at ten and one-half | cents a pound, while tea is now obtain | able at from fifty-six to seventy two | cents pound. Jams and jellies sell at l from eighteen cents to twenty four cents, oatmeal at nine cents peas and beans at from eleven to sixteen cents | All quotations are considerably lower l than they were month ago, and Lord
 Rhondda is promising still lower prices
 before winter is over.
