QUIT BECAUSE HE is
BEATEN, SAYS PARIS
LudendorH Feared to Face
Germanys Capitulation.

PARIS Oct 27.-The Echo de Paris
says that Gen. Ludendorff resigned be-
cause he saw the impossib!lity OF con-
tinung the war.
The hatin says: Germany will rep
resent the retirement OF Ludendorff as
new proof OF the subordination of the
military TO the civil power. but this
will deceive no one. Ludendorff, who.
four months ago made the Reichstag
and the German people believe that the
fall of Paris and the surrender of
France were imminent now disappears
because he is beaten and a desperate
Germany Is faced with capitulation."
BERSE, Oct. 27.-The resignation OF
Gen Lrldendorff has caused a thorough
sensation throughout Switzerland and
the Central Empires and is commented
on as sign that German militarism
is really abdicating. Among the German
and Austrian peoples anger and indig-
nation Is increasing over the fact that
the military situation has been so long
concealed or wrongly presented.

LEAPS MILE SAFELY
FROM AN AIRPLANE
Another Air Feat Is 16O Mile
Flight by 1O3 Machines.
spec,o, DespoteA 20 ruH sux.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--It was an
nounced to-day by the War Department
that Chauffeur r. w. Bottriell OF the
145th Air Squadron had performed the
feat of jumping successfully with q
parachute from an airplane at Kelly
Field, San Antonio, Tex. Tho airplane
was at an altitude of $500 feet. almost
a mile high, when the jump was made.
There was a strong wind blowing, but
Bottrieli judged his distances nicely and
landed safely.
The pilot of the airplane stalled the
motor slightly just before the jump
was made. banking to the right 30 as to
get the tail out of the way OF the para
chute when Bottriell jumped over the
side. A large American flag attached
to the parachute during the drop was
flying during the descent.
AS a result of this test American air
planes probably will be equipped with
parachutes as u possible means of saw
ing the aviator in case OF an accident.
Another record just made by the air
service Is that OF a 100 mile flight by
IO3 airplanes from March Field, River
aide. Cal, In battle formation. This
large squadron bombarded Los Angeles
with Liberty Loan literature.
This is believed to be n record never
before equalled in any OF the flying
fields in the United States. 1t was not
a special performance with number
of picked planes and pilots. but was
a wholesale turnout OF the school, The
total mileage OF this trip was over
l6, 600, which, without fatality or the
loss of a ship, made this performance a
remarkable one.

COAL FOR ALL HOMES THIS
WINTER, GARFIELD REPORTS
But Fuel Administrator Warns That Conservation
Must Be Observed-Saving for Six Months
Estimated to Be 12,7OO,OOO Tons.

bituminous production is being distrib-
uted among the railroads public utilities
and industries of various kinds The
production Of bituminous coal in 1915
was 5o2.51s.6s2 tons. and In 1917 It was
561.7s0.563 tons.
While 3s.000,0o0 more tons of coal
have been produced In the past six
months than during the same period in
any previous year DR.. Garfield pointed
out that the labor supply constantly has
diminished and that only recently has
stop been put to the entry of the
miners into the military service. Be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 miners are now
in the army and about the same number
have left the coal regions for more re-
munerative employment. ..
EFT may be inferred from these state
ments as to output" said DR.. Garfield.
that vexing economies In coal consump-
tion are no longer necessary. This %
far from true. Had the less essential
industries been permitted to operate
without eurtaiiment the stocks in hand
would be reduced seriously and we might
now be facing a shortage rather than
a fair supply. We have been able to
stock UP because We saved. The saving
is estimated thus far at 100000 tons
for the first six months OF the coal year
and this tonnage and percentage Is in
creasing constantly"
Higher wages for the mine workers
In the anthracite fields are recommended
in a report to-day OF the conference of
national labor adjusting agencies. which
has considered the matter with DR.. Gar
field. Specific sums that are named in
the Recommendations call for wage
scale of ~ cents an hour for men work
ing outside OF mines to an estimated
daily wage of $3.50 a day for men en-
ployed in the mines.
The recommendation are based chiefly
on wage awards made by the Taft
Walsh labor board In connection with
other industries engaged In work OF
similar Importance.

nouncement was made in
Berlin Saturday night that En-
peror William had acceded to the

which the members have at home.
This is very excellent record and

themselves as greatly delighted with
the progress made as well as with
the lessening of the work which can
ming season always brings into The

so. The class schedule is as follows

afternoon is devoted to the drying OF
fruits and vegetables and This class
is also open to new. members. Moth

preservation of food. Mr.. Luke.l,

Can Your Fruit
Without Sugar
Vegetable; But Little Sugar
Used.

Because of further curtailment of
the supply of sugar allotment to
Minnesota for July, the state food adj
ministration announces change n
the amount of sugar allowed to con-
sumers for canning purposes. IN
der this change no sugar may be
purchased by the family or per-
son for canning purposes if they have
previously made one or more pur-
chases for this purpose The fam
lily or person who has had no sugar
for canning and preserving may buy
one lot of Is pounds or less, but not
until certificate has first been ap-
proved by the food administrator for
the county in which the family or
person lives.
Sugar for regular household pur-
poses may be used at the rate of three
pounds per month per individual, but
may be purchased il quantities of 2
pounds by residents of cities, and
quantities of pounds by residents
of rural communities.
"The use of sugar in fruit preser-
walton is not necessary to prevent
spoilage," says the state food adj
ministration. cit is necessary that
the fruit be brought to the temper
allure of boiling water throughout to
kill all yeasts and molds and that no
air, water or unsterilized ute1sil shall
come in contact with it after it is
heated. The purposes of sugar in
canning has been two-fold: To pro-
duce the extreme sweetnss dmanded
by the American taste; and to make
the liquid surrounding the fruit thick
enough so that the fruit will not break
nor the sweetness be so much drawn
out Of it that the pulp would be taste
less. The problem of saving fruit
without the use of sugar may be
solved in several ways: 1. Canning
fruit in water; 2. Canning fruit juic-
es without sugar; 8. Canning fruit
in fruit juice; 4. Canning fruit butter
without sugar; S. Drying fruit"
Method of recipes for canning with
out sugar by these various plans may
be secured by application to the Home
