New gugar Regulations.

Effective December LIST, the sur
render of sugar certificates will no
longer be required when sugar is
purchased.
This removes. the restrictions
which have heretofore existed limit
ing the use of sugar in various lines
of business and the restrictions
which prevented the establishing of
new businesses for the manufacture
of products requiring sugar.
The restrictions against the manu-
facture of water ice are, of course,
removed.
The regulations which remain in
effect are as follows:
Retailers shall not sell sugar to
private families at the rate of more
than four pounds per month pei
person, but the signing of the coun-
ter pledge is no longer required
The Food Administration feels that
the people of Maryland can be re-
lied upon to observe this restriction.
Manufacturers are requested TIC
limit their purchase of sugar to an
amount sufficient to cover their
needs for 80 days in advance.
The restrictions covering the
price of sugar and of other products
under the jurisdiction of the Food
Administration remain unchanged.

Federal Food Administrator

LO, THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN.

Just q few short weesk ago, the
Kaiser, and the nation he had ruled
for so many years with the mailed fist
were offering peace to the Allies-a
peace with "honor" for Germany.
Today Germany at last unshackled,
has accepted a peace WITHOUT
HONOR, and the despi=able Kaiser
hae fed his country. haunted by he
memory Of the fate OF his cousin Mich
olas. whose housetop he helped bring
down upon the head of the hapless
car.
A perusal of the terms of armistice
as submitted by the Allies and sign
ed by Germany reveals a surrender
more abject than could have ba9n
embodied in the all-embracing charac-
terization of unconditional" Ger
many's surrender was conditional
conditional to the extent that she
was forced to sign away in detail eV-
cry vestige Of world power she pos
sessed and acknowledge before the
world in detail the guilt that is hers.
BY signing she pleaded guilty to ev-
cry great crime she had committed,
and trusted her future to the justice
of the remainder of the world.
Gemany's fangs are drawn. When
the terms of the armistice are carried
out she will be powerless to disturb
the worlds peace for a generation,
probably, at least And the German
people will be paying for their crimes
against humanity until the fifth and
sixth generations
1t will be impossible for the Allies
to mete out real justice to Germany.
Absolute justice cannot be done her.

there were no lights in the humidors of

Britain Leans to Decimal System.

The movement in England looking
toward the adoption of the decimal
system for currency, which has the
backing Of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce of the United Kingdom, is
gaining ground. The London Statist
states that the association has resolved
to press the matter upon the attention
Of the government and to urge the In
PRODUCTION of bill in parliament. 1t
Is proposed to retain the sovereign as
standard value of thousand mills, the
half sovereign 500 mills, the four shil-
ling piece 200 mills, the shilling
piece or form 100 mills, the half
tlorin. commonly known as the shilling.
80 mills, and the sixpence IS mills. OF
subsidiary coinage it is recommended
to coin ten-mill pieces and five-mill
pieces. Below these it is suggested
that Il four-mill, three-mill and twO-mill
piece also be coined, and If found de-
sirable a coin representing one mill.
AS the farthing is 50 little used 1t is
not regarded as likely that anything
below the value of half penny will be
coined.

The Kitchen In War Time.

The private kitchen has got to go.
1t is scarcely possible to doubt that
now. With gas and fuel at their pres
ent prices, and likely to mount stead
lily higher, the great majority, as winter
advances, will certainly be driven to
living In one room. The economy eff
fected by that simple measure will be
enormous, and 1t entails no very Sc
riOus hardship, given a satisfactory ar.
rangement of the cooking problem.
That problem could be practically
solved tomorrow by the voluntary sur
render, even In a very limited degree
of the domestic isolation in which the
British family lives. If every two
households agree to dine together only
1t would be more than half solved. II
is a matter In which the merits of a
voluntary system over any compulsory
arrangement are more obvious even
than usual. But IL the public contin.

chemist who was struck By the fact
that in the military hospitals OF Paris

cotton was used daily, a process has
