If honey or syrup is used the amount
of liquid called for in the recipe must
be reduced one-fourth cup for every

Use sweet dried fruits, such as
dates, raislns and figs, to sweeten des-

NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT

Failure of manufacturers to increase
wages in keeping with the advance in the
cost of living may be the weakness of the
industrial structure, according to Robert
w. Babson, special agent of the employ
ment service of the Department of Labor,
whose views, gained during recent trip
through the West, have been set forth in
an employment service bulletin.
Although starting his trip with the idea
of educating the workers to the need of the
present situation, Mr. Babson says he re-
turned with the idea that the manufacture
ers, especially those in some localities need
fully as much missionary work as do the
workers.
The labor difficulty at present is one of
improper distribution rather than shortage.
He says: "The complaints of manufacture
ers, have found, have arisen not so much
from difficulty in obtaining labor, as of OBJ
tanning it at the prices which the manufac-
turers desire to pay. My principal difficulty
was in convincing manufacturers of the in
crease in the cost of living to the wage
earners, and the reasonabeness of advanc-
ing wages.
The manufacturers who are not COM
planning about paying advances of one hun
dred per cent or more for materials, are
strenuously Directing to paying a fraction
OF this advance in wages.
In many ways manufacturers are more
liberal than wage earners. They cheer
fully pay heavy taxes, give bountifully to
the Red Cross and similar organizations
and are willing to work in Washington for
one dollar a year. But there is one thing
they will not do, says Mr. Babson-Give up
one-sixteenth part of the so-called I'm
herited rights" of the employing class.
1oI f,o&
that they must get together on this problem
and work it out to an amicabe settlement.
unless they wish to retard the wheels of
commerce, and jeopardize the interests of
this country, for unless the eNistant
troubles are speedily adjusted, the chances
of victory will be farther away than they
have ever been.

Billy Sunday Winds up His
Latest Evangelistlc Campaign

Washington, D. c., Feb. 22.-With
three farewell sermons in the taber-
nacle tomorrow, Billy Sunday will
bring to an end his evangelistic
campaign in the national capital.
While the campaign has furnished In
a way one of the most remarkable
religious demonstrations Washington
has ever seen, it is generally admit
ted by those who have followed the
Sunday revivals that the engagement
here has not reached the high mark
of attendance and enthusiasm reach
ed in many other cities visited by
the famous evangelist. At no time
has the attendance been sufficient to
wholly fill the huge tabernacle. Dur
ing the past week or two, however
the public interest has increased to
a noticeable extent, the number of
trail hitters has increased each
night, and Mr.. Sunday has expressed
himself as well satisfied with the
results of the campaign.
Various reasons have been ad-
vanced for the failure Of Mr.. Sunday
to arouse the people of Washington
to any very high point of enthusi-
asm The most logical reason ap-
pears TO be that the people here are
too much engros,ss IN the war and

otherwise well-regulated office. 1t
Immediately aroused the suspicious

1t is obvious that if the writer
were an American, and the informa-
ton contained in the letter is true,
that he would deliver it to his gov

if he were German, and the infor-
nation is true, he would have deliv-
cred it to his government to start

BRITISH UPHEAVAL

Demands are being made by the British
public, through the London press, for full
explanation of the events which have cul-
minated in the disappearance of Sir Viii
liam Robertson as Chief of the British Cen
eral Staff, a situation further clouded by
General Robertson's denial that he ere
signed
General Robertson's denial is regarded
as technical, as is the denial that the ST.
preme War Council at Versailles offered
the supreme command of the allied forces
to General Foch. The belief persists that
it is the intention of the allied governments
to give such broad powers to General Foch,
who is military advisor of the French
Premier, George C1emenceau, and adj
mittedly one of the ablest strategists of the
war, that will be tantamount to bestowing
the supreme command upon him.
Declaring that an explanation is over
due, The Times says that the government
has done it's best to mishandle an over
whelming case, while the Morning Post,
deploring that General Robertson is no
longer Chief of the Imperial British Staff,
says Parliament will demand an explana-
ton.
Declaring that it is evident that General
Robertson has been dismissed and that
those who dismissed him will find it incon-
venient to tell the truth, the Post says:
IF the summary dismissal of General
Robertson were not enough to shatter Our
confidence in Premier Lloyd George and
the government, the circumstances of the
dismissal would do it,
News of General Robertson's removal,
the Morning Post says, will be received
with CONSERVATION by the public and the
army. 1t eulogizes General Robertson not
only as the greatest British soldier of his
day, but the highest military genius the
war has produced.
1t is impossible to exaggerate, it says,
how much efficiency and success the Brit
ish arms owe to General Robertson

things. Others point out that Wash
mgton nowadays is such a clean city
that Sundays TRADES against LIQUOR,
vice and other evils did not strike
home as was the case in other cities
he has visited. The once-notorfous
segregated district of the national
capital has long since disappeared
while of saloons there has been none
since Congress voted the district dry.
Consequently, in. "a way, the famous
evangelist lacked ammunition with
which to make one of his celebrated
drives against his Satanic majesty.

beneficial results of this are likely
to be felt long after the departure Of
the evangelist from the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sunday and other
members of the party have made
many warm friends during their
stay in the capital. They have been
received at the White House by the
President and Mrs. Wilson and have
broken bread with members of the
cabinet, senator's and representatives
and others high in official life.

THE PRESIDENTS INFLUENCES

That President Wilson's addresses,
especially the latest one delivered before
the Congress of the United States, are in
valuable weapons to the allies, IS the opln-
ion of the press of Great Britain, and this
opinion seems to be borne out by praise of
the latest speech in some of the German
newspapers. The London Observer says:
There are unquestionably forces in Ger
many which make for reform and modern
ization of the German system of govern
ment, and with these President Wilson's
speeches will persistently and powerfully
cooperate. Germany may have gathered
some material profits from the Russian
revolution, but the fact remains that the
faIleof Czarism has left the Central empires
the sole remaining examples of autocratic
government in modern democratic world
and has sandwiched those obsolete systems
between free France on the west and free
Russia on the east.
And in the midst of these highly infecti-
Gus conditions the president directs a
steady, educational influence upon public
opinion in the Fatherland. The German
will not believe in England's disinterested-
ness in entering the war. He can scarcely
question the disinterestedness of the
United States. And yet in his inner form
he must allow that the great powerful ma
ton of one hundred million people whose
main interest is peace, and who might con-
ceivably have gained by allowing ia vielle
Europe to sink into chaos, does not go to
war without good reason.
How the presidents acid must bite and
burn into this mood! 1t is incredible, says
the Observer, that any Briton should be
willing to compromise in his war aims or
to Succumb to mere war WEAKNESS at the
very time when the most powerful nation
In the world is moving slowly and majesti-
cally on his own side into the conflict.
The independent socialist organ, the
Leipsic Voll1s Zeitung, sees in passages of
President Wilson's recent address to Con-
gress, confirmation that neither Alsace
Lorraine nor Great Britain's demands for
''lust" represent for President Wilson
riouS hindrance to peace
President Wilson, says the newspaper,
has given an example of moderation which
is worthy of emulation. 1t appears, how
ever, that the German government again
will not seek an understanding with Presi-
dent Wilson, but in view of the war aims
of Americas allies will reject his fresh
offer.
Eat the same time it is clear that Presi-
dent Wilson's voice today is the decisive
influence in the Entente. To seek an I'm

Uncle Sam wants every boy between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one who is not employ ed in essential labor, to enroll in the United States Boys Working reserve. This reserve army is to be used in helping the Farmers turnout the coun- try to harvest their crops. The demand for labor is great and the labor supply is short. If our boys at the front and the allies are to be fed more labor must b e secured. The boys can do much to solve thisproblem by enrolling in the Boys Working reserve. Miss Alcorn has re- ceived a supply of enrolment cards. All boys between the ages mentioned above, should apply to her at once.
