that the Germans still hold the north
bank of the Marine for some eight miles
from Nincriles to Rr.ril This has not

Premier Outlines Closer
Union With Kaiser
PEACE DEMANDS MADE
BY the Associgicd Press
Amsterdam, July 81


Baron Won Hussarrk, the new Austro-
hungarian Premier. in unfolding his poi
icy in the lower house Of Parliament, has
said according to advices from Vienna
In firm union with Germany, with
which we are united in unshakahle
friendship and loyalty and with which
W" are about to he more closely united,
II is now imperative to enforce n success
full end to this terrible struggle. After a
year Of severe trial, it is now time to
realize the intentions which the Central
Empires statesmen repeatedly have
unanimously stated. which threaten no
one and which aim at a general reConCil-
latlon of the peoples. The Austrian
Government will continue to do all in
its power to the attainment of this ar
IDENTIFY desired end.
For the attainment of this aim the
outward manifestation of power alone
does not suffice. There must also be
development Of Internal strength. An
absolute condition. therefore, is con-
tnual constitutional cooperation with
Parliamvnt, to which the Government
Will ScrupulOuSly adhere"
The WcSCr Zeitung. of Bremen, dis
rusing the situation in Austria. saws
the last year has been one of progressive
internal dissolution.
For nearly forty years" says the
newspaper our Austrian racial brethren
have been prisoners of the Slavs, and
their serfs. The first day Of a Federal
state of autonomous peoples in Austria
would likewise be the last day of an
alliance with Germany - perhaps even
the beginning of the end. II may be
painful. but it is so. Austria no longer
is in our camp, but only its German
peoples"

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 2S-
Most of Alaska is about to enter its
long halffght winter semi aiberna-
ton when ice and snow lock almost
everything in their grip with win

Already last steamboats, making con

In short time, Alaska s big inland
summer water highway, the Yukon riv-
err, will be sealed tight with seven
months ice
Throughout the country preparations
for the winter are being made. Sup
plies are being laid in, for prohibitive
freight rates prevail on the stage lines
which serve the country in the winter.
Fairbanks, Nome, St. Michael, Ruby,
Eagle, Anchorage, Tanana, Ncnana. and

IMPORTANT POINTS |
IN FOOD RULINGS
County Food Administrator
Walker Sends Them.
to Dealers
FLOUR LIMITTO
PREVENT BOARDING
Buying on Same Basis as Before War
Will Be Considered satisfactory
Butter Prices Must Not Exceed Slip
ulated Margin Over Cost.

Important points in the new rulings
of the food administration as affecting T
local conditions in the flour, butter, and
sugar market were sent out yesterday /
by County Food Administrator Horton /
D. Walker to all the dealers in Wind T
ham county. All the changes mentioned |
went into effect at once
A slight concession is made in the so /
20 rule affecting the sale of flour: In the /
sale of one-eighth of a barrel, which I
requires the sale of six and one-eighth |
pounds of substitutes, dealer will be
considered to have conformed to the /
1920 rule if an even six pounds of
substitutes are sold However, when
quarter or half barrel of flour is sold,
| the fraction of a pound of substitutes
must be sold,
Victory mixed -four is not yet on the
market, but dealers are asked to i'm
| press the public continually with the
| lesirabilitv of its exclusive use as soon
rs it can be obtained, as it will save
| the purchase and mixing of other sub
| stitutes.
There is no definite limit as to the
amount of flour which can be bought
save the one to buy in moderation and
not to hoard. Two or three barrels at
time for the ordinary family consti-
tutes fair example of boarding. Buy
ing as in pre-war times will be con-
sidered satisfactory. The dealers have
TO buy on a 60-day basis and the deal
ers are advised not to allow customer
to buy more.
The food administration is turning
the full power of its enforcement ma.
chinery against dealers who are at
tempting to reap large profits from the
rising butter market Under rulings of
the food administration both storage
and fresh butter must be sold at prices
not to exceed stipulated margin over
cost. Dealers are not allowed to profit
by abnormal advances in market quo
atoms
The sale of powdered sugar for do.
nestle consumers has been prohibited
; | since Oct. 10, but wholesale and retail
= | dealers are permitted to dispose of the
). | stock on hand on that date, on the ba
n sis of two pounds for one pound of gran
:; ulated, if the federal food administra
tors are satisfied that stock was bough
in good faith.
ol The brown sugar special rule where
e by customer could buy two pound
n of brown sugar while only one pount
g would be punched on the sugar car,
has been rescinded. All old stock must
? however, have been cleared up Ad
: ministrators have found that abuse o
the privilege has crept in and found i
* necessary to rescind the order. Deal
u ers who still have old brown sugar o
e hand may continue TO sell on the basi
y of two for one until the stock is dis
posed of.
