.PATAPSCO MILLS
LICENSE REVOKED
Baltimore Firm Failed to Make Re-
ports as REQUIRED.

The Food Administration announced
yesterday that the licenses of the c.
A. Gambril Manufacturing Compa ny,
Rillers, Of Baltimore. Md, eoprating
the Patapsco Mills at Ellicott City,
Nd, have been revoked until further
notice. The revocations become ef-
fective September 1S
The company has been in difficulties
with the Food Administration for
some time about its reports. On Au-
gust q, at a hearing at Washington,
it was established beyond question,
and was even admitted by representa-
tves of the company. that the reports
furnished by them were erroneous,
not simply through mistake or over
sight but even after specific warnings
given by the Food Administration.
The reports required are such as are
required of all wheat flour mills
throughout the country and are in
tended to furnish a basis for account
ing to the government for profits. il
any, made in excess of those allow
ables in the manufacture of flour.
The company claims ii has made no
profit in excess of the amount allow
able. The Food Administration takes
no position whatever on this point,
but has penalized the company SIM
ply because there is no reasonable
excuse for its failure to revise its
accounts in accordance with instruc-
ttons. The question of the reissue Of
the license will be taken up after re-
v sed accounts are rendered.

UNIVERSITY LOSES
ANOTHER PROFESSOR

George Washington University has
lost another member of its faculty
due to the war. He is Prof. Edwin
Vivian Dunstan, professor of civil en-
gineerins, who has been commission
ed major in the Quartermaster De-
partment and who has rendered his
resignation. No successor has yet
been named. The university faculty
will hardly be affected at all by the
new draft provisions. The university
is not likely to lose more than two
men. one in the Law School and one
in the Depa artment Of Arts and
Sciences. Most of the faculty MEM
bers are married and have dependent
wives, children, or other relatives.
Most OF the remaining few who have
no dependents are entitled to deferred
classification because of teaching war
courses to members Of the Students
Army Training Corps, a unit Of which
is to be organized at George Wash
ington University.

 Last Sunday night we went to he'd as usual at 10 o'clock. Shortly before 12, the emergency whistle blew and we were all out to help lend a hand where ever it was nee essary. It was the news Of the signing of the armistice. There was no more rest for us that night. We hooted and howled and finally the band turned out.
 "Then I had no more than got back to bed when 1 heard someone say. Let's go to town!' l was up again and dressed in two min utes. Everybody else seemed to be of the same mind, and all l could see was fellows going over the bank or the fence, for all that the station was quarantined.
