Gen. Mu:r Goes Higher;
Keystone Division Now
Commanded by Gen. Hay

Major Charles Muir. who succeed
ed General Charles NJ. Clement in
command of the Twenty-eighth Di-
vision, has been promoted to the
command OF the new Fourth Corps
i'm Europe. His successor is Major
General William II. Hay. This
change was reported about ten days
ago, but the War Department would
not confirm it at the time. Major
General Joseph Z. Kuhn still is in
command of the Seventy-ninth Ma
tional Army Division, which was
trained at Camp Meade.
The Twenty eighth is the Penn
sylvania Division, which will go down
in the history of the war as the
American unit which met the shock
of the tremendous Prussian drive
toward Paris in mid-July and
turned the tide of battle which ended
to-day in Germany's defeat.

those whose contributions make the
work possible.
ALLOW me to suggest that con-
trlbution to this fund forms the
best possible avenue through which
we may express to our. boys our
appreciation of the sacrifice they
are making and the splendid work
they are doing and our desire to
aid, comfort and cheer them.
1T is true. many demands are
made on us for the prosecution of
the war. The Government levies
taxes which we pay, | hope gladly;
the Government has asked us to
buy Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds. which
we did, but this is an investment
on which we draw II reasonable
amount of interest and which is
not a sacrifice to many of us; but
contribution to this fund is a
direct contribution to the boys them
selves, prompted by sentiment, n
sense of gratitude, esteem and love
for them.
Can anyone underestimate the
effect and influence on our boys,
when they know we are with them
in heart and soul. and our love for
them finds expression. not only in
high-sounding words. classic
phraseology, but in a contribution
of actual and real money which we
have earned with our own hands
with a loving heart and with the
thought and hope that it may in
some way alleviate the hardships
and deprivations which they have
taken upon themselves for our sake.
Let us one and an give and sup
port this movement, not grudgingly,
or of necessity, but freely and cheer
fully with n loving heart and mind
and which we give freely and gladly
for their sake"

Community Kitchens
Success in London

LOndon.-As fuel-economizing
measure the food ministry has re-
quested English households to fore
go the luxury of individual cooking
fires this winter and patronize the
national kitchen wherever available.
More than 600 of these hot mea4
clearing houses already have been
established throughout the kingdom,
and large extension of the system
is planned. More than 1, 100000
portions are being dispensed by them
daily.
Housewives take their food, have
it cooked and call for it in time for
dinner. A small fee is charged for
the cooking.
A restaurant usually is operated in
connection with the kitchen.

Woman Just Knew Peace
Would Follow Election of
a Republican Congress

At $50 o'clock this morning after
the whistles of the city had renewed
their din, the telephone bell rang
in the editorial room of the Tele-
graph. A woman's voice inquired
as to whether or not at that hour
there were any new developments
to cause the resumption of signals
of the signing of the armistice.
She was told the terms of the arm
istice had not yet been made public
and that the blowing of the whistles
probably was due to the arrival of
the day crews who were not to be
outdone by their fellow toilers of
the night.
II just felt" she said, "the sign
ing of the armistice would quickly
follow the election of n Republican
Congress. Isn't it Just grand there
is TO be no more fighting?"

In the final moment, when only a step

In the final moment, when only q step
separated them. and when men ex-
pected to see the first mad lunge, the
splendid Dane slowly raised his head
and looked over Kazan's back through
the glare Of the lights. Harker trem-
bled, and under his breath he cursed.
The Danes throat was open to Kazan.
But between the beasts had passed the
voiceless pledge Of peace. Kazan did
not leap. He turned. And shoulder to
shoulder-splendid in their contempt Of
man-they stoOd and looked through
the bars Of their prison into the one Of
human faces.
A roar burst from the crowd-a roar
of anger, of demand, Of threat. In his
rage Harker drew a revolver and
leveled it at the Dane. Above the tu-
multi of the crowd q single voice
stopped him.
Hold !" it demanded. "Hold-in the
name Of the law!"
For a moment there was silence.
Every face turned in the direction of
the voice. Two men stood on chairs
behind the last row. One was Sergeant
Brokaw of the Royal Northwest
Mounted. 1t was he who-had spoken.
He was holding up n hand, command
ing silence and attention. On the chair
beside him stood another man. He was
thin, with dropping shoulders, and
pale smooth face-a little man, whose
physique and hollow cheeks told moth
ing of the years he had spent close up
along the raw edge Of the Arctic. 1t
was he who spoke now, while the SER
geant held up his hand. His voice was
low and quiet:
'ITn give the owners five hundred
dollars for those dogs" he said.
Every man in the room heard the Of
fer. Harker looked at Sandy. For an
instant their heads were close together.
"They won't fight, and they'll make
good teammates" the little man went
on. "I'n give the owners five hundred
dollars"
Harker raised hand.
shake 1t six" he said. "Make it six
and they're yours"
The little man hesitated. Then he
nodded.

agreed.
Murmurs Of discomfort rose through

edge Of the platform.

Alone In Darkness.

Never had the terror and loneliness
Of blindness fallen upon Gray Wolf
as In the days that followed the shoot
ing Of Kazan and his capture by Sandy
McTrigger. For hours after the shot
she crouched in the bush back from
the river. waiting for him to come to
her. She had faith that he would
come, as he had come a thousand
times before, and she lay close on her
belly, smiling the air, and whining
when 1t brought no scent Of her mate.
Day and night were alike an endless
chaos Of darkness to her now, but she
knew when the sun went down. She
sensed the first deepening shadows Of
evening and she knew that the stars
were out, and that the river lay in
moonlight. 1t was a night to roam.
and after time she moved restless
ly about In small circle on the plain.
and sent out her first inquiring call
for Kazan. Up from the river came
the pungent odor Of smoke, and In
stinctively she knew that II was this
smoke, and the nearness of man, that
was keeping Kazan from her. But
she went no nearer than tant first cir

MORE SUGAR CONSUMED

Returns from the first war
emergency food survey made by

Of sugar consumed In 1917
was about 1873 pounds per
capita whereas the average
annual consumption for the
five-year period ending in 1915
was BAT pounds per capita. The
evident increase In consumption.
says the department, is due In
part to the increased manufac-

with an increased consumption
