Reports from all over the country
indicate an increasing number Of girls

either tempted 10 II by the high wages
or forced 10 II by shrinksge In family

THE BIGGER SUGAR ALLOWANCE

Nothing is more welcome to the con- sumer. and particularly the house. wife, than the announcement which has been made to the effec: .=at in stead of an allowance of two pounds cf sugar a month to an individual there will be three The onl" thing that will be mora eagerly received will be the announcement: that the dealers have been supplied with sui ficient sugar to make possible such distribution. At present, however it is not the easiest thing in the world to get the two pound allowance.
 Inasmuch as Mir Hoover is respon- sihle for the statement that the, sugal allowance has been increased thert are good reasons for believing that i will be effective in time, and in these days patience and perseverance have to be cultivated.
 It is not without q little surprisi that the statement is made, however since We had only recently been in formed that the curtailment could b. expected to continue for 8 iong time but in explaining the improved sit nation Mir.

three allies show pretty clearly what has been demanded of his country. The terms are already in Berlin and presumaple before the Reichstag and Bundesrath. From all sides is heard the call to the Kaiser to resign but still he remains. His only hope is that his enemies may fall out as to the final arrangements, but their un- animity in three cases makes their continued agreement morally certain. Notwithstanding a1l Germany's pro-
 testations that her government is now a popular one, the Kaiser and
 the military staff have the power
 even now to upset all the reforms and
 reinstate the former autocratic gov
 ernment, and the danger will remain
 as the Hohenzollerns are there to
 rally around and the habit of obedi- ence remains in the Prussian soldier. Germany can we'll hold out another
