LEAGUE Join FORCES
Make Progress Toward Uniform
Principles-Still Discuss War
Making Penalty.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December 24.-An interna-
tional organization has been formed
to secure uniformity of principles re-
speeding a league of nations. for pres
entation at the peace congress.
This action follows Premier Glenn
enceaus recent suggestion to Leon
Bourgeois and Baron D'Estournelles
de Constant that the advocates OF a
league of nations should reconcile
their differences and present COM
mon front before the peace congress
Bureau Maintains Offices.
An international bureau. according
ly. has been established with offices in
the Boulevard st. German, for the
purpose of reaching an accord be-
tween the British. French. American.
Italian and all other national organi-
cations supporting the league.
1t is expected that three separate
English societies will be consolidated
under the presidency of Sir Edward
Grey.
Three italian societies. at Rome.
Milan and Turin, will be similarly
consolidated.
The initial meeting, held last night.
was for the purpose of arranging
plans for the harmonizing of view
points into one joint declaration of
principles. A telegram already has
been forwarded to the American and
British societies, with the purpose of
establishing a common agreement.
NJ. Bourgeois said the differences at
the meeting largely were detailed and
that they would be reconciled little
by little until the influence of the
sessions became worldwide as re
CARDS joint declaration before the
peace conference.
Chief Differences.
1t is understood the representa-
tives of all nations have virtually
agreed on the principles Of compul-
sorry arbitration and the Limitation OF
ornaments. and that the chief differ
ences regarding reconciliation are
the economic penalties to be enforced
against nations making war and
whether the maintenance of peace
shall be enforced by military meas
ures. These latter points are the main
ones on which the international or
eanizations now are endeavoring to
establish common ground.

Sir Douglas Haig.

To the Editor of The Star:
The recent visit to London Of Sir
Douglas Haig, the famous comman-
der of the British forces. together
with his five distinguished corps com
manders, and the great ovation they
received recalls to mind that In Sir
Walter Scott's interesting story. of
THE Monastery" Cuthbert Clutter
buck mentions the name of De Haga.
probably modernized into Haig, and
speaks of the time when they settled
in their ancient barony. The family
is evidently Of the highest antiquity.
for it is made the subject of one Of
the prophecies of Thomas the
Rhymer:
Betide. betide. whate'er betide.
Haig shall be Haig of Bemercide.
In view of the fact that the King Of
England bestowed upon Gen. Haig an
honor which he must have greatly
priced, viz, knighthood of the Order
of the Thistle. and recent reports say
he is to be made a duke, with mag
nificent pension, it would perhaps be
of interest to students Of English or
Scotch history to know If this refer
ence of Thomas the Rhymer relates
to the family of this distinguished
British commander. 1t may be that
some of your readers can furnish
further Information upon the subject.

Revelers Bush Police.

Revelers, chiefly Australian and
Canadian soldiers, with a sprinkling
of British and a few American accom-
plices, built a bonfire. They used
whatever came to hand. Huge sign
boards around the Nelson Monument
appealing to citizens to buy war
bonds were the first to feed the
flames. Then a wooden hut. the prop
erty of the Y. NJ. c. A, was dragged
to the pyre. Next came half a dozen
German cannon, camouf1aged with
green, purple and yellow. rushed up
with shoutings from st. James Park
close by.
but they were helpless. The soldiers
picked them up and thrust them off
the scene. Then the fire engines came
out and turned streams on the blaze.
The Australians turned the nose on
the astonished firemen and swept
them off their feet with their own
ammunition.

STARS AND STR|PESAT
EVERY HAND IN LONDON
Hardly a House Within Radius Of
Twenty Miles Without the
American Flag.

LONDON, December Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-If
there is not friendly feeling toward
of London speak untruthfully, There
are millions of flags. Where all of
them come from is a mystery. They
simply appeared from everywhere and
nowhere, like a barrage of color on
the day when the armistice was
signed. No coronation or royal jubilee
has seen such a marvel of cloth.
Hardly a house, however small and
humble, in the whole more than
twenty-mile radius of the largest city
in the world was without its decora-
tions. And the Stars and Stripes were
more conspicuous than any flag ex-
cept the Union Jack
Salutes the Eye Everywhere.
Wherever two flags hung together
the American emblem was one of
them. The French flag ranked next
but only respectable third. Walk
ing through the streets the American
colors saluted the eye everywhere.
Big ones. large enough to hide an
hotels, department stores and fac
tories. Very many people. Of the
hundreds of thousands who tied flags
to their hats and coats and UNI
brellas. even to their dogs. sported
the Stars and Stripes. They were
particularly popular with the girls,
but workmen, old ladies and British
soldiers wore them. This seems to
spell appreciation.
Some of the sadder newspapers
which specialize in deploring mourn

ton in Trafalgar Square on November

The Common Table

To the average American the ques-
ton of food has been mainly one OF
from the nearest grocer
and butcher what appetite and In
come dictate. Where that food comes
from, how much there is OF 1t In the
world, how universal its consumption,
has been none of his concern. He
could get what he wanted II Ae could
pay for it and nothing else mattersd.
But when America entered the world
war and pooled her interests with her
associates, the whole food situation
changed. This change concerns not
only governments, but the individual.
We have become internationally mind
ed even in the matter of food; and
today every American must look on
himself as a citizen of the world-a
hungry wor1d-when deciding what
shall GO on his table Before he helps
himself, he must stop and ask, What
is there to eat?" and How many peo-
nile are there to eat it, For we
must all sit down to a common table,
Not only have we pooled war inter
ests. but We have pooled food re-
sources with the Allies.

Making The Old Dessert
Into A Patriotic One

A dessert cannot be patriotic and
have sugar as one OF it's constituents
and yet dessert cannot be des-
sert unless it is sweet and delicious.
Our problem is therefore to change the
old recipe which contains sugar into
a new one that is equally as sweet.
Maple sugar, maple syrup, corn
syrup, honey or molasses may bo
used for the sweetening Of cugtards,
junkets, gelatine desserts, clear jcl-
lies, sponges, frozen dishes, ice creams,
mousse steamed, cereal or tapiOca
puddings or fresh fruits. The cheiOe
Of the sweetsning 10 matter Of taste.
In place OF one cup Of sugar called
for In the old recipe use one cup OF
honey or froEn / % to 2 cups Of cora
syrup. Approximately the same sweet
ness is obtained.
Since every cup Of syrup or honey
furnishes u Of = cup OF liquid tOr cv-
cry cup of syrup or honey that 10 sub
stituted fer sugar reduce the original
amount OF the liquid in the recipe Y

REFUSE or SORGHUM
IS GOOD CATTLE FEED
So a Feeding Test Held At Tai
mo, Georgia, Shows.

That sorghum refuse, called bagasse,
is a very cheap feed when combined
with cotton seed meal and velvet beans
has been shown by a feeding test car
ried on by the State College of Agri.
culture at Talmo last winter. The
bagasse was a by-product of the man
nfacture of sorghum syrup and gave
excellent results as feed.
1t was fed as roughage for one
hundred and ten days and in deter
mining the final results it was charged
at IS ton. The velvet beans were
charged at $24 ton and the cotton
seed meal at $45 a ton. When all the
expenses had been paid there was a
profit of $3.50 head and in addition
there were three hundred loads OF
good stable manure worth approx
mately three dollars load.
The bagasse contained from IL to
IA times as much digestible material
as corn sorghum. and the fifty native
bred Shorthorn and Hereford steers
to which it was fed made an average
daily gain of 1.61 pounds per head for
the entire period. 1t proved to be an
excellent carbonaceous feed.
1t has been well recognized for q
number of years that cottonseed meal
is a good concentrate for finishing off
beef cattle but there has always been
a shortage Of carbonaceous feeds for
roughage. In this feeding experiment
material that had formerly been al
lowed to go to waste was conserved
and proved itself to be very cheap
source for roughage for feeding with
such concentrates as cottonseed meal
and velvet beans. Now since, Geor-
gia is so well adapted to the growing
of sorghum, and since there is world
shortage of sugar, thousands of gal
Ions of this syrup should be produced
and the refuse fed to dairy and beef
cattle, and not be allowed to go to
waste.-Editor State College of Agri-
culture.

TWO MILLION TONS OF
COAL MUST Be SAVED
In Georgia That War Industries
May Be Supplied.

BY burning wood Georgians must
save two million tons of coal this win
ter in order that our rapidly growing
war industries may be fully supplied.
The government used fifty million
tons last year in, its war activities,
but this year it will need approximate
ly one hundred and fifty million tons.
1t is almost impossible for the mines
to greatly increase their output in
view of the serious shortage of labor.
and hence all of the extra coal that
Is needed by the government must be
saved by the people. Georgia's share
in the saving is 100000 tons.
Coal is the very basis of the activi
ties OF our armies. There is not a
single war commodity or activity
that is not dependent on coal, that
has not directly or indirectly the pow
er of coal somewhere in its production.
1t takes coal to operate munition
plants, move troops by rail, propd
transport ships, keep our navy on
guard, and then move food, soldiers
and munitions to the front. Coal is
the fuel best adapted to war purposes.
When we burn wood, we not only re-
lease coal for war purposes but we
relieve the congestion of the railroads,
clearing the tracks that men and sup
plies may move more rapidly towards
the front.
The relative heat value Of wood to
coal is much higher than is ordinari-
Iy thought One cord of seasoned ash,
oak or hickory is equivalent to one
! ton of soft COAL The fuel value de-
creases with pine, cypress and cotton
wood, and with the amount of season
ing. Our wood supply in Georgia is
large enough to supply all our needs.
The annual growth of cord wood
greatly exceeds the annual consump-
ton and this will still hold true if
wood entirely replaced coal for home
use.
If every family in Georgia would
reduce its consumption of coal by fif-
| ty per cent, the amount asked of us
by the Government could be easily
saved Many families in the rural dis
| tricts will find it possible to entirely
replace coal with wood. In every case
| coal must be used economically. The
! Federal Fuel Administration will en-
deavor to distribute what little coal
that will be allowed for this state, to
only the largest cities that need it
worst and to those industrial plants
manufacturing products essential to
the war
Farmers who have cut larger sup
! plies of wood than they need, should
: get in touch with their county agents
/ and local fuel administrators. These
! men are cooperating and are ready TO
assist farmers in marketing their
wood 1t is not yet too late to cut
good supply of cord wood. Those
who wish to harvest wood for fuel
purposes and at the same time inn
prove their future stands Of timber,
should communicate with E. w. Had
lev. extension forester, Georgia State
! College of Agriculture. Demonstra-
tions will be given throughout the
state on the proper methods of cut
ting and thinning woodlands.
Every one is asked to help. The
Fuel Administration points out that
the best way is to Burn Wood and Save
Coal.
