To secure bread OF the necessary quality

some changes have been made in the
amounts of ingredients other than flour

changes were made on recommendation
of some of the country's leading bakers,
who brought the matter to the attention
of the administration since the first
regulations were announced.
Bakers are urged to continue their
efforts TO hold the consumption of sugar

WASHINGTON, Feb. /.

BY an exercise of the powers conferred
upon him by the Food Control Act, Presi-
dent Wilson today further extended
the licensing system TO include hotels,
restaurants, clubs and other public eat
ing places which serve bread or other
bakery products of their own baking.
Those engaged in the importation
or distribution of green coffee also are
placed under license. The new rcg7nla-
tions become effective Feb. 4.
The licensing of places where bakeries
are conducted is in addition TO those al
ready licensed.
The Presidential proclamation reads
"All persons, firms, corporations and
associations who manufacture Tor sale
bread in any form cake, crackers, biscuits,
pastry or other bakery products Except
ing, however, those already licensed and
those whose consumption of any flour
and meal in the manufacture of such
products is, IN the aggregate, less than
three barrels n month";. are hereby re-
quired to procure license on or before
Feb. 4. 1919. This includes hotels, res

Church OUGHT To DIE
IF IT WONT PROGRESS
Leading Baptist Minister Jolts
Chicago by Blow at Religious
Stand -Patters.

Chicago, Feb. l.--Leaders of Cbicago's 3
religious life are greatly stirred by the
publication of an article under the head
ing of "A Council or on Inquest
Which3" by Rev. Johnston Myers, one
Of the best known Baptist preachers In
Illinois and pastor emeritus of Emmanuel
Church.
'If the church cannot meet the needs
Of the world at the present time, then
the church must die and ought TO die, " is
the theme of the article.
The article appears in the Standard, n
Baptist weekly. DR.. Myers declares the
church is losing ground every day;
thousands of churches "have name to
live, but are dead; the fraternities, the
Y. Nj. G. A. and other modern institutions
are taking the place of the church; it
''must be absolutely reconstructed and
reorganized TO meet the new world con-
ditions."
DR.. Myers, whose name has long been
identified with evangelical orthodoxy and
whose work in Chicago has been noted for
its devotion to the spiritual and physical
welfare OF the masses, calls for a church
council to consider the critical situation
in organized religious life and TO propose
doctrinal and functional readiustments
that viii bring the church abreast Of the
times.
MANY Of these so-called doctrines
which our fathers taught and believed
are not important in this age he de-
clsres. "We need not deny the old truth,
but We need new truth for the new era ;"
This attack on the traditional crecds
IS accompanied by indignant protests
against the stand-patters, who oppose
change and cry ''heresy" whenever it
is suggested.
DR.. Myers dcplorcs the fact that I'VE
must wait until they die before we can
move forward" lie accuses the church
councils Of approving what has been
done instead of reconstructing and re-
vising."

HAPPY NEW YEAR, l919!

To each and all OF our readers friends and pa

concomitant horrors. God has not hampcrcd us in

we are hampered by human greed, jealousy and linn

peace and happiness.
1t would be altrustic to assume that these OBJ
stacles to permanent peace and good will among
men can be cradicated in few months even
years. The millennium will not be attained at the
Peace Conference of Versailles. But we can hope
that each succeeding year shall bring nearer to

progress, building stately mansions for the

THE TIDAL WAVE OF BOLSHEVIKISM AN
OBSTRUCTION TO WORLD PROGRESS.

The close of the year 1918 marks the beginning
Of mankind In the entire range of history there
to be found perhaps not more than six upheavals Of
institutions and governments that comparable
with it in respect to the radical changes it will in
volve and the members of the human race affected
by them. One of these the discovery of Amer-
ca in 1892, which opened up to the long suffering
peoples of the Old World vista of hope for their
future-a hope that has been amply fulfilled in the
marvellous growth and development Of the Ameri-
continent with their concomitant benefits to
the populations of the older centers of population.
But the victory of Columbus purely con-
quest of peace and of Christian valor and genius,
thus differing from most of the epochal events that
have radically diverted the trend of human affairs.

The London Saturday Review. i'll recent ar

of the Britons in respect to President Wilson'S trip
Frankly. there is no person OF whom we are so
much afraid at this hour as President Wilson, and
we say it with profound respect for his high char

Wilson is idealist, and dealists are sometimes

and realism.
1t may be doubted if greater compliment
was paid to courageous President than that inn
piled in the above paragraph. 1t was obviously not
intended such but it will be so construed by all
friends of democracy in America and elsewhere
1t is because of their confidence and trust in Presi-

America Associated themselves and pledged all their
resources to the Allied cause; and we now rejoice
that he is at the forefront of the diplomatic councils
to carry on in the campaign until the victory for
democracy is thoroughly clinched
