REASONS ARE GIVEN

In a statement this morning from the Federal Food Administrator for Alaska, the reasons for the removal of the restrictions are given, and the above telegram is confirmed, as fol- lows:
 "All restrictions as to the use Of sugar by households and public eat ing places have been removed. For time the limitation was two pounds per person per month; then three pounds; then four pounds (which lat. ter regulation was received in Alas ka only December 3 and this day, by telegraphic advices from the Unit been rescinded) The lifting of the sugar regulations includes all public eating places and households.
 General Orders 8 and of the Orders to Public Eating Places Is. sued a month or two ago, are re- pealed. This leaves no objections to the restaurants having the sugar bowl upon the table.
 All restrictions upon the reailer and upon the individual in the mat ter of the sale and use of sugar have been removed.
 The signing of the armistice and the constantly increasing supply of available sugar from the Louisiana cane and the American beet supplies, which will be followed by the new Cuban crop in January, have made it possible to treat manufacturers and consumers with more liberality in their allowances of sugar.
 The Federal Food Administrator for Alaska asks that all retailers, proprietors of public eating places, consumers, and others interested, be governed accordingly.

COMMENT OF THE
 GREAT BRITAIN PAPERS

LONDON, Dec. A. - The British newspapers comment extensively up on President Wilson's address to Congress.
 The Post insists upon the import ance of the exact relation of Will sons IA peace principles being fully understood The Post thinks the principles have been accepted too hastily by the Allies, and relies up on the Presidents definition of them as outlined, for a basis of peace. The Post regards them as serviceable instrument with which to begin the work of securing peace.

PRAISE RECEIVED
 FOR EXPERT WORK
 IN HANDLING BODIES

George w. Mock, manager of the c. W. Young undertaking depart ment, recently received letter from E. R. Buterworth & Sons, of Seat tie, one of the leading undertaking firms in the United States, which contained the following compliment tary reference to the manner in which his department did their part of the work in connection with the Princess Sophia disaster:
 Those bodies consigned to &c., attle reached here last Tuesday eve- hing. and l want first to say to you that in my experience, reaching over a period of good many years, nev- CT have l seen, and I mean every word of this, a disaster of this kind handled as systematically and the bodies in such good condition. Your work has been complimented by relatives and friends on every side, and whatever you might have charged for it I have no hesitancy in saying that you gave dollar for dollar value received. People after nearly month, in many instances six weeks, have been permitted to gaze upon the faces of their dead ani find them in such condition that they not only could identify them but through the painstaking ability of your organization, they will be permitted to take them into their homes, hold funeral services and see them almost as natural as they were in life. Your work was wonderful, but as I have said be- fore, and as I informed inquiriug friends and relatives here, they need have no fear, they were in the hands of one who thoroughly understood his profession.
 The letter was from Gilbert M. hutterworth, manager of the firm.

MOST SERIOUS
 BLOW TO HUNS
 LOSS OF MINES
The Mineral Wealth of AL sace-Lorraine Enabled Her to Keep War Co.,
 ing Much Longer.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-The war now ended was called raw material war, and the subsoil wealth of AL sace-Lorraine was one of it's prizes. The weapons driven into the heart of France were smelted from the ores of these provinces with the conquered coal of the Lens dis trict. Only between the Mouse and the Rhine are coal and iron found so close together as to be worked advantageously. In 1795 France had all these deposits. In 1915 France lost half the coal. In 1871 France lost nearly all her coal and half her iron. In 1914 Germany struck for the other half of the iron. Germany's economic power rests upon thesd facts. She could not have prolonged the war with out the 21,OO0,O00 tons of ore mined annually in the provinces now returned. The ores of German Lorraine alone are estimated to be worth $2,000, 900, 900. Part of them were sold to the Wendell syndicate for $65, ,00e on the ground that they belonged to French citizens. Another portion was sold to the von Raumer syndicate for 50,000,- GOO marks, the state reserving the right of participation to the extent of 51%. All these were developed by Germany for herself, and they now fall to France without the de- struction which has followed every German footstep in retreat. If the results of the war went no further, this alone would reduce Germany to- second rate nation in an eco homie sense. and to impotence in war.

Hartford, Feb. 4.--After a confer once in New York city last week, at tended by representatives of five east ern states and the federal govern ment, it was decided to recommend to the state councils of New York, Massa- chusetts, New Jersey and Pennsy1- vania, that they put into opera ton a war time transp ortation system model led upon the return load" plan suc- cessfully tried out by the Connecticut State Council of Defense.

 The Connecticut return load sys- tenn has already been in demand for transportation between New York city and points in this state. The system, in brief, nobilizes the pri- vately owned trucks of Connecticut for the cooperative service, in emer gencies, of other shippers than the owners of the trucks, Shippers and urban trips on which they carry loads only one way are asked to register at return load bureaus in the chief industrial centers. They are then provided with loads for their return trips and are paid by the shipper whose goods are thus moved. To make it easier for truck men to get in touch with shippers arrangements have been made with the Southern New England Telephone company, whereby the trucknan has merely to ask central for Return Load" in cities where most of the return load bureaus exist to be con- nected with the bureaus The truck men have been instructed to notify the bureaus in the towns to which they make their outgoing trips the day before so that return loads will
