CHINESE LABOR NOT PERMITTED
 TO ENTER U. s.
Associated Press)


 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. B. Any expectations that the labor shortage in America will be relieved by the importation of Chinese labor CTS are apparently doomed to disap- pointment. according to information received by California agricultural in terests. The farmers of this state had hoped that the government would permit them to use Chinese labor in order to insure an adequate labor supply.
 Dean Hunt, of the agricultural college of the University of Cali fornia, tonight stated that he had been informed that the national gov ernment would not permit such prac- tice at the present time. It is thought that the government will make other provisions for farm labor since it excludes Chinese labor. Many of the farmers in this state declare that it will be necessary to receive additional help before they can in crease their yields to keep up with the demands which are sure to be made next year.

LLOYD GEORGES
 PEACE OUTLINE
 NOT AGREEABLE
{ (ASSociated PresS)

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 8.-The peace terms which were outlined in the recent address of the British pre- mier, Lloyd George, are said to be received unfavorably by the Teu- tons. A Vienna dispatch received here today states that Austrian po- litical circles consider the conditions proposed in this address as impos- sible of acceptance by the Teutonic allies.
 The comment of the newspapers, except that which is evidently in- spired by the government, has been apparently curtailed by the censor, as few of them have any constructive criticism to offer. The German pa pers are taking a high ground and drawing conclusions of British weak ness from the address. Most of them refuse to see in it any ground for peace, and predict early mili- tary triumphs which will upset the British premier's calculations and de- ductions.

TEUTONS GIVING SAME TREATMENT
Associated PreSS)

(aSSOCldteu FTCSSJ
 AMSTERDAM, Jan. 8.-The Wolff bureau, a semi-official Berlin news agency, today states that the Teu- ton government is not making any exception of American prisoners talk. en by them, and that they will be as kindly, treated as prisoners of other nationalities. The German gov ernment claims that it is showing these prisoners every care which is imposed by the law of nations and that all reports to the contrary are untrue.
 This announcement is believed by local officials to have been caused by the evidence which America has forwarded to Germany proving that Germans being held prisoners by Am erica are being well cared for. This proof was sent to Germany to in duce similar treatment for Ameri- cans held in German camps.

HUN OFFENSIVE WESTERN FRONT
 BE GREAT BLOW
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. For the third week in succession the weekly review of the war depart ment predicts an attempted smash ing offensive on the western front by the Germans. The review states: "The expected German offensive on the western front will probably be their greatest assault since the be- ginning of the war"
 In summing up the chances for even temporary success by the Huns in such an offensive the department is optimistic for the allies. It Is stated that "The British and French forces alone can be depended upon to withstand the shock of attack"
 In reviewing the present situation on the western front 1t is stated that the allies have conclusively proven their superiority to the enc. my during the past year. It says: "The French and British troops have steadily pushed ahead through six teen major battles of unusual fierce ness with cumulative gains"
 Regarding the time of the expect ed German offensive. 1t is declared that the opening of the movement is probably being delayed for the massing of supplies. The troop move ment to the west is about over, but great quantities of munitions and necessary supplies are being rushed up.
 The review, in considering the Italian situation, sees greater i'm provement there than in any other section. Not only have the Italians held their own, but in number of local actions have proven themselves able to assume the offensive. The cause of this is seen in the arrival of allied achievements. It states: "The French successes on the Italian front have turned the scale against the Teutons."

How to Candle Eggs.

IF you are going to put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use-both
a patriotic and a personal duty-you
will need to exercise care to see that
only good eggs are. put in the water
glass OF limewater container. One bad
egg is likely to destroy several others.
By consistently gathering the eggs
when they are fresh, most of the dan
ger of storing bad eggs is avoided but,
since some eggs are imperfect when
they are laid, Gambling, where it can
be done without too much trouble and
delay, might well be praeticed.
The United States department of
agriculture has just issued a bulletin
"How to Candle Eggs" The text is
brief and direct and is illustrated with
colored plates showing the way in
which an egg should appear before the
candle, together with the various ways
1t should not appear. The bulletin was
written by DIR. NJ. e. Pennington, chief
of the food research laboratory, as
sisted by NJ. X. Jenkins, bacteriologist,
and H.. NJ. p. Belts, artist. 1t should
be of great use, not only to persons
putting away eggs for home use but
to those who desire to establish or
maintain regulations for delivering
eggs in perfect condition.
