ct:
PEACHES: Peaches are usually
dried unpeeled They may be peel
ed If desired Cut in halves, pit, lay
in trays pit side up, and dry at same
temperature and for same length Of
time as apples.
APPLES and PEARS: Pare, core
and cut apples in one-eighths, or
core and slice in rings, using fruit
or vegetable slicer. AS apples dis
color quickly do not let stand long
before drying. To prevent discolor-
alton as the fruit is prepared it may
be dipped for one minute into cold
salt bath, using one ounce of salt to
one gallon OF water Remove sur
face moisture and dry at ITO to $50

NOT AND END OF WAR, SAYS
GEN. WOOD.

| Camp Funston, Kas., Nov. S.-Ha-
jor General Leonard Wood today
posted the following appeal to men
of the Tenth Division: Even if an
armistice is signed it doesn't mean
the end of the war. 1t simply means
that the terms of peace will be dis
cussed. They may or may not be
agreed upon. The work and train
ing of the division will 90 on with.
the same energy and spirit as here
tofore.
There is nothing in the present
situation which justifies a change of
procedure on our part-and as sol
diers it is our duty to carry on with
out reference to an armistice until
we receive instructions to the con-
trary."
Berne, Switzerland Nov. S.-The
managing committee of the Social
ist party considered the entire po-
litical situation and its decisions
were embodied in the ultimatum
which Philip Schiedemann. Socialist
member of the German cabinet with
portfolio, sent to Chancellor Max
imilian. These decisions We're.
First-The right of public assem-
bly,.
Second-The military and police
must be ordered to exercise great
reserve.
Third-The immediate transfor-
nation of the Prussian government

majority in the Reichstag.
Fourth-Greater Socialist infu-
ence in the Reichstag.
Fifth--The abdication of Emperor
William and the rnunciation Of the

EFFECT OF PEACE
ON WAR CONTRACTS

Washington. Nov. chairman
Baruch of the War Industries Board
authorized he statement last night
that the coming of peace will not re-
suit in immediate cancellation of
war supply contracts, but that con-
tracts will be cancelled gradually as
requirements are reduced, making
it possible to lift curtailments and
restrictions upon ordinary industrial
activities.
For some time to come" said
Mr.. Baruch, assuring the armistice
will be signed for period to be de-
termiued by the war making agenc-
iesof the government, government
contracts must continue on wide
scale. This circumstance applies to
considerable share of present con-
tracts.
"As the demand for raw material
is lessened by the reduction of war
requirements and the cancellation of
war contracts and when such can
cellation be made, the raw materials
so made available will be released
and ALLEGATION by the War Indus
tries, for use in supplying civilian
and export demands, which through
|curtailment have been held in check
during the war. in addition to the
ordianary commercial requirements
there will be a heavy flow of mate
rials thus released to supply the de-
mand for the great unconstitutional
work required by the European
countries.
"At the same time there is to be a
GRADUAL lifting of the restrictions
and curtailments that have been i'm
posed upon industry by the exigency
of the war so as to allow as prompt
lily as possible free flow of all sup
plies into peace channels.

continue to exercise its functions un-
