WASHINGTON, ID. c., March
26.-"Germany's military mas
ters are seeking to feed their vas
sells On empty victories again, in
stead of food.
This Is the conclusion drawn
here today following receipt OF Of
ficial information by the govern
ment showing the prospects of a
food crisis the next month or two
in Germany. No one in authority
seriously believes Germany will
starve. But many saw in this Of
ficial report today support for the
war department statement that
internal political consideration
forced the drive.
Germany's eastern granary Is
not yet open and the prospect of
unrest was one compelling motive
for the west front gamble appa--
emily.
SO the kaiser, sitting safely be-
hind the shambles of the Somme,
is cabling back that his armies
are VIGOROUSLY capturing ter
rain the boches themselves de-
vastated. He says nothing of the
hundreds of thousands killed,

four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace

You will find, too. that all

The Patriots PRAYER

For Thee, oh God; for country
and home; for freedom, liberty,
and all humanity; and in Thy holy
name, we array our strength
against the hosts Of tyranny. We
do not pray for an avenging might
that will leave in its trail scenes
of devastation and frightfulness;
rather, we would beseech Thee to
lift us up into the heights Of
grandeur that our every act be
just and tempered with mercy!
Fire us with Thy love and the
flaming patriotism of our noble
sires! Be with us in the glory
Of noontide and the blackness of
night to guide thru hidden dan
gers the ones whom Thou hast
chosen to liberate mankind!
What we are is of Thee, What
we may achieve in staying the
hand of a mad avenger and es-
tablishing peace again on earth
must come thru Thee! Give us
the charity of Christ, the vision of
Moses, the splendid valor of David,
and the simple and enduring trust
of Daniel! AS Christ suffered and
died to redeem the fallen, so let
US sacrifice and bleed and die, IL
it be Thy will, that earth may be
redeemed from Satanical fury!
In all things make us divinely hui
rg1ne, that neither history's page
nor Thy great book will reveal one
blot against us! Strong in Thy
strength, we face the foe with
calm composure knowing that
Thou, oh, God, hast led and will
lead again to victory, and when
we lay our armor down and pass
to our reward. may IL he. as far

ORONILLE, Jan. 15.-Olive men in this district declare that a record of twenty years has been smashed by climatic conditions this year. Olives in perfect condition are still being re- ceived at the various olive plants here, and indications are that picking will continue into January. This condi- tion is unprecedented as cold weath- CT generally stops picking around the middle of December
 As a result of the favorably weath- CT, the pack will be normal despite the fact that the crop on the trees was light. The olive oil output, however, will be curtailed as fruit is now being processed for ripe olives that owing to damage from cold weather has gen. erally gone into oil

}IG FUND FIR !. MAR HORSES AT FRONT
(By Associated Press)

! SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 15.- 3The San Francisco branch of the American Red Star animal relief so. ciety has started a campaign to raise and equip an ambulance corps for the war horses on the battlefields of France. The society estimates that such a unit will cost $15,OOO and it already has a considerable sum of money on hand as a starter"
 The Red Star was organized last year at the suggestion of Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, It performs a work similar to that performed for a soldier by the Red Cross. The na- tional headquarters are at Albany, N. Y. A membership costs $1 a year and a life membership $1OO.
 The San Francisco horse ambulance unit expects to go to France as soon as it is formed. The government has asked the society to furnish sixteen such units throughout the country. The horses will need drugs, blankets, tarpaulins, large tents and millions of bandages. The work of the society is given an added impetus through the fact that most of the horses now do- ing service at the front are said to have come from this country
 Money for the San Francisco am- bulance unit is being raised through horse shows and other forms of en- tertainment A recent horse show here netted $1,471 for the society.

Item 6. These prices shall be in
effect until further notice, but it IS
the intention of the food administra-
ton in Montana to keep certain data
regarding bread manufacturing and
selling for the next 60 days and
changes may be made at the end Of
that time, either up or down.
Item z. These retail prices named
in items 1 and 2 are at the store door.
Where deliveries are made on bread
the retailers may charge the actual
expense of delivering the bread.
Item 8. Butte prices. Due to the
various local conditions, principally the
lack Of local milling facilities, the
price of bread for Butte shall not ex-
coed the following prices: Sixteen
ounce %unwrapped loaf, wholesale, 81
cents; retail, 10 cents; 16-ounce
wrapped loaf, wholesale, 9 cents; 49,

The pr;ce of SUGAR at retail will be raised approximately one cent Il

tracts with the Cuban growers.
Refiners and manufacturers in America will not profit by this rise.
Al sugar in warehouses m September 8 a purchased by the govern
,,ents sugar equalization board at the old price, and sold back to the manu-
f,cturer and refiners att the new price, giving the profits on this rise to
the government.
Eatst,ns having old stocks Of sugar on hand must dispose Of them at
the ole price. No raise in price o n old stocks will be permitted. Dealers
must hold nvoiceso n their sugar. ready for inspection by the Food Admin
istrahon at any time.
The Cuban sugar growers have inflicted the increased price upon us, be
couse we depend them largely for u supply.
The ugar shortage is most severe, but will not result in sugar famine
