ICY MORNING JOURNAL sPECtL LENsEp wtREl
London, Nov. II (Friday by the AS
sociated Press. )--Keen regret. tenn
pered by hope. on the one hand and
outspoken approval OF Senator Lodge
and his supporters on the other hand
are the outstanding notes in the Lon
don newspaper comment on the sub
iect of the United States senate's ac-
ton on the Versailles peace treaty.
The Daily News. which is a warm
advocate of the league of nations and
an admirer of President Wilson, eX-
pressed the hope that, although the
situation is grave, 1t is not yet des-
perate, and looks forward to the re-
introduction of the ratification reso-
luton with the hope that 'the ten
days between now and the next session
will be fraught with issues momentous
for the world"
"Short though the interval will be"
the newspaper adds sit will be long
enough for the true will Of America
to assert itself and long enough for
the opposition parties in the senate to
come to an agreement. The world will
await the decision with an anxiety it
need no affect to conceal. A
league of nations with which Ameri-
ca is not associated would find its
power and moral authority lamenta-
bly, curtailed,"
The Morning Post thinks that the
obvious reason for the senate object
ing to the covenant of the league of
nations was that there are in Amer
lea still citizens who have robust faith
in their own nation and heartfelt pride
in the sovereign freedom of the
United States"
when they found their president
bent on transferring their rights and
independence and subordinating the
United States to a committee on which
their country must always be in the
minority" the newspaper adds, "their
pride of race and nationhood re-
volted."
The Journal regards the attitude Of
the republican party as worthy of
free men and citizens of the great re-
public and a refreshing change from
the International spirit which has
grown sick of the native hue Of Brit
ish patriotism"
The Morning Post concludes by de-
nouncing the league of nations as "a
system which contains the seeds of
national destruction"

WHEAT AND FLOUR
EMBARGOEs To co
OFF DECEMBER 15


New York. Nov. 21.--Embargoes on
wheat and flour will be lifted Decem-
Der 49, it was announced by the
United States Grain corporation late
today.
Lifting of embargoes on both ex-
ports and imports followed the action
of President Wilson in Washington to-
day in signing a proclamation COM
pletely terminating the embargo con-
troll which has been effect for more
than two years.
Control over embargoes first was
exercised by the war trade board to
protect the supplies of wheat and
wheat flour for the allies Later con-
troll was taken over by julius IL.
Barnes wheat director under the
wheat guarantee bill.
Discussing the lifting of the en-
barge, Mr.. Barnes said:
This is one step in the necessary
reconstruction of trade facilities
broken by the war, which must
function when the grain corporation
terminates it's three-years' work.
While ocean transport conditions and
also disorganized international finance
will probably prevent free trading
between merchants of the various
countries for some time, 1t is expected
that, step by step, international trade
may be re-knit in the usual channels
Until this is fully accomplished. the
grain corporation will continue to sell
from its stocks of wheat and wheat
flour, the foreign trade that is not
supplied under private business initia-
tive

WAR TIME POWER
To CONTROL FOOD
PRICES RESTORED

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEAEED
Washington, Nov. Elm an effort
to meet the situation resulting from
the present acute shortage of sugar,
President Wilson TODAY revived the
wartime power of the federal govern
ment over the nations food supply.
In a proclamation the president
transferred to Attorney General Palm
er the broad authority exercised by
Food Administrator Hoover during
the war. While it is Mr.. Palmer's
present intention to exercise this au-
thority only so far as sugar is con
cerned he is prepared to use it to
meet any similar situation affecting
other food supplies
Among the first acts of the DEPART
ment Of justice, 1t is understood will
be the establishment of a price of -
cents a pound wholesale for all sugar,
except the Louisiana crop, the price of
which already has been fixed at II
cents This increase Of price was said
to be necessary to prevent a famine
during the early part of next year.
Sharp curtailment of sugar con-
sumption by candy and soft drink
manufacturer also will be ordered as
officials declare the present shortage
is due in a measure to the increased
consumption of candy and soft drinks
which has followed the enforcement
of prohibition. Details as to this cur
tailment remain to be worked out.
While the margin between the
wholesale and retail price of sugar
has not yet been determined, officials
are known to have tentatively con-
sidered LEA cents making the retail
price approximately IA cents a pound.
This, however, is subject to change,
depending upon a variety of condi-
tions
Howard Figg assistant to the attor-
nev general i'm charge of food sales
distribution, has worked out plans for
carrying out the drastic regula tions
proposed as soor as approval has been
had by the several government
agencies, which it will be necessary to

agreement with beet and cane sugar
refiners whereby the latter are To go
into the Cuban market and purchase

Cuban sugar in its raw state is esti-
mated at 1000, 900 tons.
A sugar distribution committee also
will he set up by the department. of
justice It will sit constantly and

tion OF stocks Refners who enter
into the agreement will be compelled
to sell their supplies through this
committee.

UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN
TEAM WILL PLAY THE
MENAUL SCHOOL TODAY

The university freshmen football
team is scheduled to clash with the
Menual warriors today, in an attempt
to wipe out the memory of the drub-
bing which they received at the hands
of Menaul some two weeks ago. The
game will be played on the varsity
grounds, and a much better day is
looked for than was their lot two
weeks ago, when they played through
on slick field and under the fresh
ening influences of a driZzling rain.
Each of the teams have been getting
in some good practice work and lit is
expected that a fight to the finish
battle will be pulled Off The follow
ing lineup will attempt to keep the
honors with the university: Gray,
right end; Craig. right tackle; Faw,
right guard; Howden' center; Her
nandez, left guard: Paulsen. left
tackle Hopewell, left end; Miller,
quarterback; Hines, full back; Sgan-
zini, left half; Brennan, right half.
AS the football clash between the
university and the Aggies approaches,
evidence points to this struggle
Thanksgiving day afternoon as one of
unusual severity. The university team
which has improved wonderfully with
in the last week since their Ell Paso
game, is in excellent shape and spirits
for the game against the Aggies. Root
ers and players from the school at
Mesilla Park are scheduled to arrive
Wednesday. Gridiron fans are pass
ing out the old dope which is always
SO deceiving, but judging from the
other games the varsity has played
it is safe bet to say that the farmers
will go back knowing that they have
been to a real football game.
The student body is putting out a
neat little folder which contains
picture of the university, a photograph
of the team, the lineup. score card
and the cheers, which will be sold on
the grounds,

$4,000 SPENT BY
UNION PACIFIC IN
TRAILING BANDIT
William L, Carlisle, Escaped
Convict, Who Robbed Pas
Senger Train, EIudeS Pur-
SuerSi Still at Large,

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Nov. 21.-William
L. Carlisle, the train bandit for whom
posses have been searching since sat
urday, continued to outwit his pur-
suers last night and today.
Armed men covered wide areas of
wild country today in and around
Medicine Bow and in the vicinity of
Casper without success, No one. ap-
parently has the least idea where the
outlaw is.
Officials OF the Union Pacific rail-
road announced today they had spent
$4,000 in the search and in addition
hundreds of men volunteered service In
the man-hunt In the meantime armed
guards are maintained on all passen-
ger trains. for railroad men are con-
fident the bandit will make another
robbery attempt, though possibly not
until he has spent the $3.50 obtained
in the robbery of Union Pacific train
No. 10 near Medicine Bow Tuesday
night
Baseless rumors have appeared
from many places. including Denver
and Pueblo, Colo, where the bandit Is
reported to have been seen, Little Gre
dence is placed in those. and yet Of
ficials here admit there is nothing
more definite than these rumors con-
cerning the bandits hiding place.
Governor Carey was asked today to
offer a reward for the capture of the
bandit, He promised to do so If the
prosecuting attorney of the coun-
ty in which the robbery oc-
cured would ask it. The only
reward now offered is one of 5000
from the state prison at Rawlins
where Carlisle was confined up to his
escape last Saturday.
A considerable sentiment has de-
veloped in favor of the bandit be-
cause of his daring and courteous
treatment of women and children pas
sengers, and the possibility that
friends might be aiding the fugitive
was taken into consideration.
