LESS BEEF IN LONDON.
Pork Ekes Out the Limited Supply
OF Mutton.

LONDON, Jan. S.--There was no i'm
provement in the supply of meat at the
Smithfield Market this morning. Beef
was scarcer than ever, but the supply OF
pork was a relief to the retailers. who
had been selling nothing but a limited
amount Of mutton since Monday of last
week. Timed beef was largely bought
by butchers who serve the working class
districts.
There was no demand for poultry. the
public refusing to pay the almost famins
price Of fourteen shiliings for chicken.
Unless a larger amount Of mutton Is re-
leased, Il Is feared large number Of
small butcher shops will be forced to
close.
Butchers outside London have been
licensed to buy only half the amount of
meat sold In October 4 consumers

LONDON, Jan. S.-The German deter

generally satisfactory to the pan-Ger-

Brest-Litovsk negotiations have been re-
sumed and the possibility that the dis

Germany rejected the suggestion OF
Stockholm because she feared the En-

probably she would be .delightedNto ac-

much moro pro-t;erman than Sweden.

stands for the ties Of kinship and is
the tribute of our family love. The
one waves victorious on the field Of
battle: the other at the fireside of
our affection. The one stands for the
heroism of our country: the other for
the fortitude of its sons. The one Is
furled in its ma jesty at sunset: with
the other night is always dawn. Old

glorious and imperishable heroism of

The thirteen stripes were first used
by the Philadelphia Light Horse troop;
they were alternate blue and silver on
Il yellow banner. The Cambridgc flag
later had the stripes of red and white.
The first flag was doubtless made by
Betty Ross in May. 1916. was adoptcd
by congress on June (. 1771. and
