STILL USE SUGAR CARDS.
Asserts Statehood Administrator Brooks
to the Public.

The abolition Of the certificate plan of
distributing sugar to dealers and manu-
facturers should not be interpreted as
meaning that the use of sugar cards in
the sale Of sugar to household consum-
ers is also eliminated, said Federal Food
Administrator Frank H. Brooks last
evening. Mr.. Brooks specifically orders
that the card system be continued TO
cover at least the December and Janu-
airy sales in those communities where it
has been installed, which means practi-
cally the whole state In communities
which do not have the card system, the
allowance to consumers is to be four
pounds month, per member of the fam
lily, purchased in weekly or monthly lots,
as the customer desires, and dealers must
exercise every precaution to prevent du.
plication of purchases. Dealers and man
ufaeturers no longer are required TO Sc
cure certificates upon which to purchase
sugar from the wholesalers, but, until
Jan Is at least, they must confine their
purchases to 30-days' supply. Liberali-
cation of this rule after Jan. Is will be
conditioned on the free arrival of Cuban
Mr.. Brooks is instructing county and
local administrators to keep an eye on
prices to prevent any skyrocketing Of
charges to the public for essential food
commodities. "The rule that profits can
not exceed those obtained under pre-war
conditions still holds good, and win hold
good until the food administration comes
to an end, which is at the formal dec
laration Of peace by the president" he
said 'The food administration coneeives
one of its ehiefest functions to be the
securing of fair prices and the protec-
ton of the consumer against protiteer-
ing" Mr.. Brooks stated in declaring hi.
intention to see that fair prices be main
tanned. He has instructed local admin.

When the telegraph instrument began
to pound out the text of President Will
sons memorable address to Congress
shortly after ! o'clock yesterday after.
noon, no one either on the sending or the
receiving end of the wire knew how long
the president was to speak, as no pre-
vious intimation had been given out from
the White House, but The Times, like
some of its contemporaries, began an eff
fort to get the text Of the address into
type for presentation TO its readers the
same afternoon. Press time approached
and there appeared to be no likelihood
that the sending Of the text would be
completed; so The Times had to go to
press with only section of the doeu-
ment in print albeit an admirable sum
mary of the whole address, as prepared
at short notice by the Associated Press,
was presented to our readers. Mean.
while the special leased wire into The
Times office continued to pound out the
message and kept it up until few min.
utes after o'clock when the last word
of the presidents document was spelled
out. So to-day we are printing the YER
batim address of the president and we
bespeak for it careful reading, as it in
cludes matters of national and inter.
national Importance which should be in
the minds of everyone.

stay at home to attend to the bills which
come from Congress, then it is even more
desirable for the members of Congress
to stay at home to attend TO the franz

more effective on the job in Washington.

 At Ecoust St. Mein the enemy is still maintaining an obstinate defense closely pressed by our troops, who have taken a number of prisoners in this locality.
 At Bullecourt and Hendecourt, hos tile counter attacks, delivered with much determination by strong forces, compelled our troops to fall back to the western outskirts of these villages and to a German trench system be- tween them, where the enemy's at- tacks were stopped by our fire. North of these villages an attack launched by Canadian troops astride the Arras- Cambrai road has been successful.
 "The enemy defenses between Hen decourt and Haucourt have been cap tured. together with the latter village and several hundred prisoners. South of Bapaume our troops have main tained vigorous pressure upon the en- emy and have gained ground.
