.The State Federal Food Administ-

'The State Federal Food Administ-
rator calls our attention to the fact
that some mills i'll this Division are
selling to their customers substitute
fiours in excess OF thirty day sup
ply. This practice is contrary to the
Rules and Regulations OF the United
States Food Administration and
should be discontinued at once. The
thirty day supply rule applies not only
to wheat -four but to all substitute
fours. and, unless mills watch all SAL
es carefully, bakers and other custom
ers may lie securing more than a
thirty-day supply, which would make
them liable to revocation OF their
| licenses.

GLOOMY PICTURE.

Amsterdam, Jan. IA gloomy picture of Germany's future was painted by Grand Admiral Von Tir- pitz in his recent speech in Essen, ac- cording to the Hamburg News. Re- gardng a successful economic war against Germany after the war, he said: Imagine the position if we simultaneously have to bear the bur- den of taxation which must fall on every German and, despite the fallen value of German money, we still have to buy the most necessary food and raw materials from abroad. Can any one in his heart of hearts really be- leve that in these Circum without an increase of power, without indemnity and without security we could avoid Germany'S ruin." Ger many's plight at the hands of England he bemoaned as follows. Not only has England taken our colonies and M Mesopotamia. but everywhere she has made deeper and firner bases for her maritime and colonial supremacy. She has tarnished and trodden down prestige and honor of Germany by un- precedented calumnies. Tn the whole transatlantic world we are considered as conquered and done for"

(Continued from First Page.)

though faced with the necessity of concluding peace, is doing his utmost to stimulate a revolution in Germany. Fraternization at the front already has passed beyond control of enemy of ficers and great quantities of revolu- tlonary newspapers printed in German are being distributed
 T am convinced our only chance in defeating German designs is to pub fish terms as near the Russian terms a s possible and, by taking a powerful hand in the proposed conference help the democratic movement in Ger many while helping the Russian to force the German government in the direction it has had to take.
 Whatever party might be in power in Russia, it would be compelled to conclude peace and Trotzky's method is more likely to damage Germany than the method of any more polite person in his place. The nationaliza- ton of the tanks puts a weapon more powerful than the guillotine in the hands of the government and prob ably will end much of the present sa- botage."

WOMEN SMOKERS.

London, Jan. 1.-The conduct of young women who smoke in the sub- way, the moving picture theaters and other playhouses where it is allowed, is gradually putting smoking out of fashion among English women of re- fined sensibilities.

Voice of Washington Still Re- sounds, French President Says

Washington, Jan. 1.--The voice of Washington still resounds and he shows the path to triumph through sacrifice, says President Poincare of France in a New Years greeting to the American people which appears in the New Year edition of the Official Bulletin"
 M. Poincare's m essage is one of a number received from the heads of the nations associated with the United States in the war against Germany. Others came from King Alexander of Greece, President Menocal of Cuba, President Valdes of Panama, King Peter of Serbia, President Buerra of Bolivia, and President Viera of Uru- quay.
 "As the year 1917 closes" cabled the French President 'I look back with emotion to the months just elapsed and to the successive phases of the world struggle and in particu- lar to the entrance of the United States into the war,
 Champions of a. common cause, the American people and the French people whom fraternity of arms has united in the past, whom it is bind ing still more closely today, con- template with unshakable tirmness and with the serene consciousness of their duty, the liberating task that they have sworn to accomplish to the end The year 1918 will see the con- tinuation of the sublime effort of the free nations, grouped for the defense of the safeguarding of all mother lands, great or small, against the pow CTS of imperialism and autocracy, whose avowed design it is to. dispose of peoples just as they have led them to death--without consulting them.
 Iris the far-off voice of Washing ton that resounds. still. at the thresh- old of the New Year. as in the he roic hours of yore ,and the echoes of which are repeated throughout the glorious American union. France, too, hears it. The illustrious Ameri can statesman shows us the path to triumph through sacrifice. and like his eminent successor, President Will son. seems to say to the nations united for the salvation of humanity:
 "Carry on to victory the flag of freed om.'
