BRITISH MINISTRY
COMMANDEERED MUCH
CANADIAN BUTTER

Edmonton, Alta, Dec ls.-The total
amount of butter obtained in Canada
for the British ministry of food, I'M
der the communicating order was
6.5OS, 1856 pounds, according to a
statement issued by the Albertan Of
fee of the Canada food board. The
order was in effect from Septmeber
so to November 8, two days before
the armistice was signed.
The price paid for this butter at
Montreal was 46i2 cents per pound or
a total of S3,O26, 566.l2.
The shortage Of butter in Great
Britain is still very acute, it is stated,
and Canada's per capital consumption
is eight times greater at the present
time.
Since the communicating order was
abolished, no great increase in the
price of butter has been noted. The
food control department asserts this
is because the board Communicated
the make" between September 30 and
November 9, instead of Selling stocks
in cold storage. as in the United
States, where the price of butter soar
ed at once.
All stocks of butter in cold storage
are under regulation as to profit
which, the department asserts, has re-
suited in a steady price for butter not
withstanding the taking out of the
total output for the year of six and
a half million pounds.

Small quietly walks into Headquarters

can watch for some more sensational
records from Burleigh before the end
of the drive. From reports outside
of the city, Bismarck will find it neces-
sary to enroll every possible member
between now and Saturday night, or
be badly beaten by the branches out
side the city.
City Chairman Tracy and his effici-

to do all they can to make the record
big for the city. The Roll Call COM

to help them to this end If you know
of anyone who has not enrolled make
it your business to call up and let Mr..
Tracy know about it. In the mean
time keep your eyes open for some
big records from the different branches
in Burleigh.
That in effect is what B. E. Jones,
county chairman for the Christmas
roll call of the Red Cross, said this
morning when he read a front page
spread in a Fargo paper, intimating
that Cass had the only community in
the state that is up and coming in
the matter of Red Cross memberships.
McKenzie's record was reported sew

doubtedly is entitled for credit for
being the first in North Dakota to
reach it's 100 per cent membership

More than so per. cent of the

The Ukraine produces 80 per cent

Amsterdam, oct 27.-In the course
of a speech in the reichstag on Thurs
day, .the German vice chancellor,
Friedrich Won Payer, said that the
enemy's belief and the assertion that
the German people were politically
deprived of their rights and were so
oppressed and dependent on small
ruling circles that it constituted a
constant danger for the peace of the
entire world, had been the greatest
hindrance to the attainment of peace.
This hindrance, he declared, had to
be removed, and the government had
instituted far reaching internal re-
forms, which were long overdue.
On the previous day the vice chan
cellor had said
eve need confidence. not merely
at home we need the confidence of

trust us mainly on the ground of
many events in the past. concerning
which we can not take it amiss of
them if they have certain doubts.
We have, therefore, no use for
anyone in the government who still
favors a peace of force more than a
peace of justice. What we need in

quivocal, honest and straightforward
policy. That alone can promote our

confidence of President Wilson have
said that his dealings with the Ger

informing it that the request for an

action rested with those governments.

prove that Germany Will accept sucn

should such terms of an armls-

Germany would afford the best con-

The German reply takes cognizanee
of the presidents statement in his
last note that it is evident that the
power of the king of Prussia to con-
trcl the policy of the empire is unlm-
paired by stating that the peace ne

peoples government in whose hands
rests the power to make the deciding
conclusions and to which the military
powers also are subject.

the unofficial report from Berlin via
Copenhagen that General Ludendortf,

army, had resigned. He generally was
regarded as the virtual head of the
German high command
