(BH The United Press)


WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-There was
great conjecture in official quarters here
tonight as to why there is silence in
the capitals of Europe on the signing
Today of the armistice between Ger
many and the Allies.
One reason advanced is that Ger
many asked one condition, namely, that
she be permitted to announce the news
OF her surrender in her own way to her
people before it was announced abroad.
This. it was pointed out, would enable
her to prepare her garrisons and mill
tary police forces to oppose the grow
ing Bolshevist movement within her
borders.
1t was stated that Germany may we'll
have been given twelve or even twenty
four hours to accomplish these safe
guards under agreement with the
Allies.
This would explain the fact that the
censorship apparently is down fiat on
developments in the armistice nepotia-
tions and would further explain refusal
yet TO confirm the signing by European
officials.

F ood Licensing
Measure Extended
Presidential Proclamation In
cludes All Concerns Having
Foodstuffs in Storage
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

WASHINGTON, Nov. T. Extension
Of the licensing machinery of the food
administration TO cover the mAnufact-
ure. storage and distribution of various
foodstuffs heretofore not under license.
was announced to-day through the pub
hcation Of q Presidential proclamation
signed November 2.
BY the terms Of this proclamation all
concerns operating warehouses in which
food or feed commodiies are stored are
placed under license. In addition, mill
ers OF corn, oats, barley and rice are
similarly to be licensed. Other food
trades affected are firms engaged in the
importation, manufacture or distribu-
ton OF sausage castings; manufacturers
OF near beers or other similar bever-
ages; importers, manufacturers and
distributors of oat -four, raw corn
flakes, buckwheat or buckwheat prod
ucts, and importers, manufacturers or
distributors of animal or vegetable fats
or oils.
Explaining the purpose and scope of
the new extension of food licenses the
food administration and the War In
dustries Board issued the following
joint statements:
"Conferences have been held with the
trade engaged in this business. and
steps have been taken toward the de-
termination of fair storage rates. Stor-
age enters materially into the cost
which the public ultimately pays for
the commodities, and this action is
taken to check the excessive rates
which have been charged by some in
dividYais through the shortage of stor-
age space. AS one step in the nstitu-
tion of this control the President has
just issued proclamation under the
food control act requiring all persons
engaged in the storing of food and feed
commodities for hire to take out a
license by November 15."

houses, too, are in bad fix. No more
sugar or sweetmeats, not even sand

for such cup Of tea is pretty good
price.

will be sensible enough to see that

non-combatant. Clever posters tell the
people transportation Of food takes up
cargo space that ought to be used for
American troops and war material. SO
every citizen can see he will hasten
