quantity of sugar used last year. No
wheat flour may be used by anybody
in manufacture of candy.
No wheat or wheat products, ex-
cept bran or shorts, may be fed to
livestock.
Doughnuts are forbidden.
Manufacturers may use 80 per cent
wheat flour in biscuits and in such
sweet breads as are still permitted,
and 80 per cent wheat flour in soda
biscuits.
Wheatless and meatless days and
meals are prescribed from time to
time, according to condition of the
supply, as in the United States.
All food dealers are licensed, as in
the United States, and the quantities
of foods they may sell to customers
at one time depend upon the distance
CT the householder from the source of

taste for French pastry, or cannot
resist the call of the doughnut, may
have his way for little matter of a
fine ranging from 500 to $1,000, or
Jail sentence up to three months,

ONE HALF OF AMERICAN
 NAVY FOR THE PACIFIC

Washington, Nov. 2S.-With the passing of German sea power, the im- polling strategic reason for keeping the main strength of the American navy massed in the Atlantic ocean no longer exists. Naval officers here an- tiicpate, therefore, that the fleet will be divided when the war emergency has passed and substantially one-half of the main fighting strength of the navy go into a reorganized Pacific fleet
 Secretary Daniels has indicated that a general arrangement of the fighting ships was to be expected. He gave no inkling of what is under con- sideration, however, his statement having been brought out by questions when he announced that Vice Admiral Sims commanding American naval i forces in European waters, would be nominated to the rank of admiral when Admiral Knight, commanding the | Asiatic fleet, retires next month. Rear Admiral Gleaves, commanding the conveying forces, will be named by President Wilson for the vacant vice admiraPs post thus created No change | in assignments will accompany the promotions, which will be made for merit
 There are indications about the de- partment that plans already are afoot | for reviving the old European squad- ron. With the increased responsibili- | ties of the United States in Europe due to the war, and expanding mer- chant marine, it is regarded as prob- a6le that a definite naval force will be maintained in European waters here- after, and it is possible that steps may be taken toward establishing limited facilities for the upkeep of the force The navy now has a station at tht Azores and officers believe an ar engagement with the Portuguese gov ernment under which the station will be continued for some time, at least is to be expected.
