Faithfully yours. LIZZIE O. THOMAS. Tuscumbia. Ala. Answers to Inquiries There have been several letters asking for the recipe for nut ’read and others have asked for sugges tions along the line of lunches and "when one is entirely at a loss what to cook.” At this season there come days, rainy weather affects me, when I want an entirely new program. That’s the time to use new I recipes, or to experiment. So I am ' going to give you the result of my i experiences and experiments, or some I of them. First and foremost, let me tell you that you should always keep raisins in the house. They come in tin cans, or paper cartons, and form the pivot on which many a good dish depends. Their food value is high, and when you want a special treat for the children get them a package of seed less raisins. Another article of food that I al wavs try to keep is rice. Sometimes > 1 mix the left-over rice with oatmeal and have a new cereal for break fast. Sometimes it goes in griddle cakes or muslins, and often, of course. It is on the table with roast meat. And I always want it when I have turnip salad. All of you know ; the usual rice puddings, but before sugar became scarce I had a pudding I that I am going to give you today; ' sugar is becoming more plentiful. Caramel Rice Pudding—Half cup- I ful of rice, three cupfuls milk, three fourths cup of sugar, one-fourth cup of butter or substitute, three eggs, cinnamon to taste, one-fourtn cup seeded raisins, pinch of salt. Wash rice and steam it in milk until thick. Then let it cool. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the well-beat j enwggs, raisins, salt, rice and cinna i mon. Hero comes the difference. In stead of greasing your pudding dish, put in two tablespoonfuls, or more, of caramel and let it cover the sides of the pudding dish. Bake in a mod erate oven. You may not have the caramel, so ! here is the recipe: Carapiel—Place a cupful of either brown or white sugar in a pan with a tablespoonful of water, let it re main over the fire until it melts and becomes a rich dark brown. Then ;.dd a teacupful of boiling water and let it simmer for ten minutes. When i there is more than you need for im mediate use let it cool and pour it I into a bottle and keep for another time. Rice Pie—Boil a cup of rice in a quart of milk until tender. Beat into it a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls I of sugar, juice and grated peel of a lemon, and three eggs that have been I beaten very thoroughly. Turn the mixture into a pie plate that has ■ been lined with pastry and bake. Sift sugar over it just as you cut to serve. Nut Bread —Two cups of flour, one third cup of sugar, pinch of salt, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, cup of sweet milk, one egg, half a cup of nuts, cut line or mashed. They do not do so well when put through the meat chopper as when washed with a cup. Pour in a baking pan and let set twenty minutes. Bake in a mod erate oven. Many of you may not know what a treasure a box of Grape-Nuts may become. and gelatine is another “must have" in every home. Try these two recipes: Fruit Pudding—One package lem on gelatine dissolved in one pint of boiling water, add lemon juice, or half pound of raisins or other fruit, three-fourths pint of Grape-Nuts, cup of walnuts, mix thoroughly and pour in a dish to cool and harden. Do not put in the dish until almost stiff, ns you must stir occasionally to keep from sinking. Serve with whipped cream. Minute Plum Pudding—One envel ope gelatine dissolved in a pint of boiling water. Add the juice of one lemon, small teaspoonful vanilla ex tract. five tablespoonfuls of sugar, pinch of salt, one cup of Grape-Nuts, one cup of chopped raisins, two ounces of citron, two English wal nuts or half a cup chopped pecans, one-half of a small apple chopped fine. Mix ail together and pour in a mould to cool. Serve with whipped cream and one spoonful of sugar fla vored with vanilla or grape juice. Christmas is almost here, are you going to be s?lf-denying and give only useful presents? Are you only going to give to the children, the lonely and the old people? We must not cease our patriotism now. The little French and Belgian children. ;he people of Armenia and Poland are freezing and starving. Don’t say “They are too far off.” They need at least a part of your tenth. If you have not commenced giving the Lord His tenth let this be the time to do so. Faithfullv yours. LIZIE O. THOMAS. Tuscumbia, Ala. AKSWER3 TO QUESTIONS Dear Mrs. Thomas: Will you please give me an idea of correct amount of feed for forty head of THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1018. 1 chickens, all grown? I have the White Leghorns; they were bought from a reliable poultryman, but 1 | seldom have eggs when ail my neigh ' bors have them to sell. 8o 1 am convinced that 1 either do not use correct iood. or too much. Those I kill are always tat. 1 keep them in a good-sized yard and u e corn, wheat, bran and table scraps. .Just • how much ot eacn grain and how '. otten should they be nd? This and any other advice about.caring i’or , them will be appreciated. This letter is a good example of . nianv that have come to me. It these I have written to me there must be ; many more who are disgusted with I their flocks and have determined to | kill or sell them. J would do neither. To begin I with, the ration is not balanced. There is nothing said aoout green food, and they must have that to make satisfactory records as egg ma chines. They need some sort ot' ma terial for the grain to be thrown in, leaves, chaff front the barn, straw or the commercial sort tiiat one can get by the bale. Even on the farm, tor my breeding pen, I find the good commercial scratch feed more satis factory than what we raise, tor it is more "thoroughly mixed. Where the flock has a good range they have a better opportunity to select their bal anced diet. If one has a rye patch, or a mixture of rye and barley, the hens are almost sure to give a sub stantial sort of appreciation of one's thoughtfulness toward them. Sprout ed oats are more trouble, but what I can one expect in the line of success unless an effort is continually made. One of the most extensive advertis ing agencies in America has this motto: “Keeping everlastingly at it leads to success." And there is not a month in the year that a flock of hens can be neglected. I was away when my rye should have been plant ed and now 1 have nothing like enough. I cut off some every day and feed to the pens. And, as I’ve told you many times, I put oats in a trench, filled it with water, cover with earth and put a heavy board on it.. The board is to keep them from getting the oats before they sprout. As a rule I have two boards and as one begins to sprout the other trench is planted. I often have letters from people whose flock is mixed and they want to build it up. It is like the advice to cattle men. Better sell a few or many of those scrub hens and get two really good hens of your favorite breed, mate with a good cockerel and set those eggs. Several times I’ve sold a trio and have never failed to get a letter telling me that suc had been the result. Get the idea out of your head that a flock must consist of ten or more. And ten or twelve dollars spent that way brings earlier results than even baby chicks. I bought day-olds for I got the “chicken fever” in December. Another mistake that many make is changing strains. About every two years I get one new cockerel, but I get it from the same poultry yard that furnished my present start. And by going over my records I can tell from what pen my customers get their stock, and this year I have furnished cockerels for their old hens. Get the idea out of your head that real poultry raisers are keeping any secrets of success. . —— -K- FBOM FORTY YEARS’ EXPEDI ENCE Dear Troubled Wife: I gather from your letter in Joufnal of No vember 29 that yob have allowed yourself to become a “doormat” of a wife. Brace up and assert your self. Don’t quarrel (that never ac complishes anything). Don’t argue and above all, don't try to explain. If he gets into a temper and ac cuses you wrongfully. look him straight in the face and say, “Con sult your own conscience, vou must have something of the kind or even worse, or you would not suspect me.” One time is enough to sav that. When he begins leave him alone. Go into another room and get busy. Probably by the time you see him again, his mood will have changed. I have found that to leave a man to himself for a half hour is the easiest way to avert a quarrel. Even if you feel that you are right and he is wrong, use your self-control and leave him to his oini thoughts. Many a time have I put on my cloak and gloves and sat in a cold room, and read or wrote, until I thought he had simmered down. Don’t threaten to go home, or any other thing. He asked you to marry him, you’ve cast in your lot and helped to make what is there. Do vour nart pleas antly and thoroughly. Cultivate a sense of humor. Try to see the fun ny side of things; it will h«dn won derfully. Don’t mope nor whine, nor bo afraid of the other girl. You’ve got him: forget her. A WIFE OF FORTY YEARS. TO TBOUBLSD WIFE Dear Troubled Wife: Your letter touched my heart, just as many wives have done in the past. It is strange that some men will be lirutes, but the fact remains that they are. Such a fellow does not deserve a wife, yet they seem to marry the best and purest women And because the women think it their duty they eat our their food in sorrow and put up with it. I've seen men torment their patient, long-suf fering wives, and I know some wom en who would like to bear the heart broken wife’s burden just long enough to break the man’s heart, or if too hard to break, then crack it, cr inflict some sort of misery where his heart ought to be. And some women could accomplish this. too. Ten years from now you may look back and smile to remember your “big trouble,’’ but at present It is very real and very agonizing to bear. Since you are a pure woman and he has r.o cause for his jealousy. It must be very disgusting and revolt ing to endure. But do not let it drag your soul down from the moun tain tons of noble ambitions and ideals into the mushroom, stagnant valleys. where his poisonous thoughts must dwell. You have a part to play. The time to begin is now. not tomorrow. First ask him what sort of women he was accustomed to associate with before he knew and married you? That since his w’ords and actions bear out the answer it must not have been your kind. Furthermore, ask him the sort of life he lived previous to his marriage. Because purity seeks ever to believe In purity and a coarse, vul gar mind strives to draw purity down upon its own plane. You say you have prayed. That is good, but we must work while we pray. You ’.rant to be understood. This is natural and when a woman marries a man who cannot understand, then she must indeed be miserable, because in mar ried life this is one of the sweetest of all things—to have a husband who understands, who does rot tread on tender places in one’s heart. Dear little woman. It takes a man to un derstand. A jealous creature never can until that spirit bo con<yiered. If your husband has in him (he mak ings of a men, a principle, backbone something firm and steadfast to build upon, then a wise woman can FOR BAD HEARTS Generally Indicated by Nervous Exhaustion, Tiredness, Palpita tion, Cold Extremities, Poor Circulation.

Permanent Navy to Require More Men Than Are Authorized WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—A con siderable increase above the author ized strength of the navy is neces sary. according to the bureau of navi gation annual report made public to day. "Since last annual report.” said the message, written October 15, “the permanent navy has been increased from 57.000 men and 6.000 appren tice seamen to 131.485 men and 6,- 0.)0 apprentice seamen. This num ber is just sufficient to man Che ships of the regular navy in com mission and to be commissioned by the end of the present fiscal year, on the basis of the former comple ment sheets. "Since that date, however. the commander-in-chief has submitted the final recommendations of the fleet as a result ot’ actual experience with new and perfected instruments and more modern methods. This will require an increase over the old com plements in order that our efficiency may not be behind that of other naval powers. “For the regular naval vessels that will be in commission by the end of the next fiscal year and a readjustment of complements brought out bv war experience, there will bo required a considerable increase above the present authorized strength.” The report showed that the war strength of the navy had been de veloped from about 56.000 men to over 500.000. The training systems afloat and ashore made it possible to convert men from civil life quick ly into capable sailors. The Great Lakes and other stations efficiently cared for the Says 90 Per Cent of Flu Deaths Preventable CHICAGO. Dec. 11.—Ninety per cent of the deaths from influenza and I neumonia are preventable, when a properly prepared vaccine is used, ac cording to an address by Dr. E. C. Rosenow, of Rochester. Minn., before the annual meeting of the American Public Health association today. Surgeon General Blue, head of tne United States public health service, also a speaker at the conference, said nearly 350.000 deaths occurred among civilians kfrom September 1, 1918. to December 1, 1918, from influenza and pneumonia. He had no figures on the epidemic in the army camps. Dr. Rosenow read figures on the re sults of inoculations around Roches ter. showing that after the third in oculation there were nine cases of in fluenza per 1.000, against 220 per 1.- 000 among the uninoculated, and 1 8-10 cases per 1.000 of pneumonia against fourteen per 1.000 among those not inoculated. Over 20.000 persons were given the three inocula tions and their cases were compared with 61,000 not given the treatment. The deaths from influenza and pneu monia among those inoculated wore 1-10 those among the uninoculated, Dr. Rosenow declared.. Navy Department Will Have $250,000 Deficit WASHINGTON. Doc. 10.—The navy department will have a quarter of a million dollars deficiency for the present fiscal year, despite the fact that the signing of the armistice has enabled the department, to can cel millions of dollars' worth of con tracts, house appropriations commit tee members said they were told to day by Secretary of the Navy Dan iels. Increased personnel, involving larger naval activities, and the In creased cost of materials were re sponsible for the deficit. Secretary Daniels Is quoted by members as ' Ug.

You say you have never told him a falsehood. One can do this anil yet tell him too much. Keep him guessing part ot the time. You dwell on how much you love him. Do not ba too demonstrative. A man wearies of hearing how much you love him; grows too used to caresses being showered free gratis over him. Let him seek your love hnd caresses. Quit telling him how much you love him. Act coldly and more distant toward him. Give him ample time to won der why. Let him have cause to suspect that you are growing indif ferent toward him; that his jealousy is driving you from him. You have told him you would leave him, yet he acts no better, and you feel you’d never be satisfied away from him. He evidently knows as much, so con tinues to torture your soul. He eith er isn't capable of the best love or he hasn’t had bis awakening yet. He needs an electric chock or an earth quake, some good, hard sort of shak ing up. It's up to you, little wife, to administer it. Forget how much you love him and proceed on your course of treatment unless you want to allow him to continue his highly enjoyable act of breaking your heart. Evidently he enjoys seeing you suffer. It’s your turn now to show hhn how it feels. You’ve failed in acting the saint. He does not appre ciate your saintliness. Watch your opportunities. Then get a jealous spell on yourself. Say the mean things to him he’s beeng saying to you. Keep him on the rack and pour it in to him so fast, he'll be so busy squirming he will forget to torment vou. Keep thin up for a spell. It will at least give him something new to think about. Don’t be afraid of him. Some men delight in showing wives they’re boss. Hold yourself aloof; make him look up to you. Men prefer women on a pedestal to those on footstools at their feet. Yet many women place themselves there, not knowing at the time they’ll get stepped upon later, and used as a door mat in no time, so get off the footstool back to the pedestal and be quick about It, be fore your nerve fails you. Treat other men friends socially and chat with them and laugh and smile right before your husband’s eyes and he’ll be storing up wrath in eyes. An awful look will come in his his brain that will give you thunder when he gets jou home. But just before you catch it you smile at him and remarw sweetly, “Did you see me chatting to our old friends? So many folks think you’re jealous, so I just took that opportunity to show them you’re a man and not a jealous fool.” You say sometimes you be lieve he really wants you to go. Well, go. A dose of absent treatment would be as fine medicine for him as the foregoing. Only he requires a general mixture to cure his terrible disease. Plan and nut into execution a trip. If h“ mentions being left all by his lonesome, tell him he needs to bo alone. That you see he Is wearied having you around th-’ place. Tell him jealous thoughts such as he feeds upon will cause him to go In sane and you do not want to feel re sponsible for it, so that you’ll get out of his way for a snell and give him a change for variety. By all means goi Miracles lie in Journeys. And don’t mope about him when away. Enjoy yourself.

Hiram, Ga. ■ GERMAN GDNOSTIfINS HOT 50 ITO. 85 PIMM PRESS WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—While the slate department today declined to be specific as to its information concerning Germany, it intimated that conditions in that nation are not as bad as painted by press accounts. There appears now to be a swing toward more conservatism than re cently. This is evidenced by reports of counter revolutions, including the rumored siege of Prince Henry of Prussia against the reds at Thorn. This government is watching close ly the developments within Germany as the time approaches for assem bly of the national soviet congress. This body, as already pointed out, will set a date lor elections. It prob ably will also undertake to lay down some basis for the future of the na tion. Bolshevism probably will not gain the upper hand in Germany, it is now felt, but the outgrowth of the present ferment is regarded as like ly to be a very liberal socialism. It is doubtful that the peace con ference will wait upon formation of a stabilized government in Germany before making its conclusion. if there is an organization which can conclude a peace, it will go ahead with its treaty, according to the view here. x As for Russia, it is said that there will be representative Russians in Paris, but that there will be no ac tual delegates inasmuch as there is not even a de'acto regime in Russia to appoint delegates. PAPER WARNS AGAINST GERMAN BANKRUPTCY AMSTERDAM. Dec. 11.—The Co logne Zeitung warns against possible bankruptcy of Germany and declares that unless the financial situation is improved the Germans will be unable to pay either their tax or the indem nities expected to be demanded by the allies. “The present Socialistic govern ment with its continual demands for higher wages while Germany is un able to produce or export is bound to hasten bankruptcy,” the newspaper says. "German banks cannot hold out move than a few weeks under the present financial strain. If the situ ation continues, nobody in Germany will lie able to pay taxes, not count ing the indemnities.” The Zeitung suggests ’hat the na tional assembly establish a strong financial nrogram in which, contrary to the Socialists’ views, taxation would be divided equitably among the whole population. Otherwise, the newspaper predicts, there will be the most far-reaching catastrophe. BERLIN ASKS RUSSIANS NOT TO SEND DELEGATES BERLIN. Monday. Dec. 9. (By the Associated Press.) —The German cabinet has sent a wireless message to the Russian government asking it not to send a delegation to Berlin for a conference planned for Decem ber 16. The reason given was “the present situation tn Germany." The Russian Bolshevist delegates were Invited by the executive com mittee of the soldiers’ and workmen’s council against the wishes of the cabinet. The opposition of the. cabi net has been strengthened, beyond doubt. by accusations made bv Adolph .loffe, the Bolshevist ambas sador to Germany, who has made a statement saying that Ministers Haase. Barth and others were friend ly toward him and actively seconded his plan to introduce Russian meth ods into Germany. Tn spite of their denials M. .Toffee's accusations have created a painful impression in manv quarters. SOLDIERS’ C OMMITTEE YIELDS TO EBERT AMSTERDAM. Dec. 11.—The work men’s and soldiers’ executive com mittee has given supreme authority in Germany to Chancellor Ebert’s government, ft was reported in dis patches received here today. Ebert is thus believed to have bee-? provided with sufficient strength to hold down the Spartacus group which is overpowering sentries and collect ing arms. The workmen's and soldiers’ coun cil are losing popularity everywhere, csnecially in Hamburg, where cm ditions are renorted to he fearful Many citizens there .are armed. The only meat is horse sawsage. A dispatch from Munich today ! said that troops (whose affiliation I is not mentioned) have overthrown the workmen’s and soldiers' council i there. The dispatch also reported I t’mt Spartpcusians seized four news- i paper offices. K.infz Not Likely To Visit America LONDON. Dec. 10.—That King George will visit America as a re turn courtesy for President Wilson’s visit to England, is not regarded as likely. It was pointed out today that the president’s coming is not a per sonal visit to the king, but a part of his itinerary in attending the peace conference, as a result of which diplomatic custom will rot require that the visit be returned.

Dec. 10.—The con i gressional battle royal over the coun try’s reconstruction tax policy began today. Senator Simmons, chairman of the senate finance committee, filed his formal report on the bill in the senate. It was at once made the tar get for several minority reports. 7he first was one signed by all Re publican members ot the committee, breathing unalterable opposition to including in the bill taxes for 1920. Senators Smoot and La Follette also nad individual reports dissenting from the majority view. Senator Simmons presented the bill as "the fairest both to business and the great mass of taxpayers, and the best from the government’s point of view that it has been possible to ar rive at." lu a word, the bill proposes to raise about $4,600,000,00!) income, war and excess profits taxes for the fiscal year 1919, and $1,400,000,000 from other sources, a total of $6,000,000,000. For the fiscal year 1920, it will produce a little less than $3,000,000,000 from in comes and profits taxes and about $1,000,000,000 from other sources, a total of $ 1,000,000.000. "About the wisdom of such a pro gram we entertain no serious dount,” said Senator Simmons. "It is im perative tiiat the profits and income realized in 1918 be heavily taxed. This is not only necessary to raise the needed revenue, but it is equit able and in accordance with sound public policy. “The profits realized during 191 S are largely war profits; they are now in the pockets of the taxpayer; they should contribute heavily before they have been dissipated or reinvested. “But it is equally important tnat these special taxes should be reduced as the occasion which inspired and justified them recedes into the past. Not to provide now for the reduction ! of the war profits tax after I’JlS’s i profits have been taxed would be as ; inexcusable as not to tax those I profits. ’’ Senator Simmons and other Demo • cratic leaders admitted today they I will have a hard time getting any revenue legislation passed this ses sion. With the help ot the treasury department, however, they will bring the strongest pressure to bear, it will be pointed out to congress that failure to enact a tax law soon will mean that more billions of bonds will have to be floated, with the country at peace and no means existing of raising any enthusiasm over a bond sale. Senator Smoot and other Republi can leaders have stated they oppose i including the 1920 tax because they I fear the 54,000,000,000 provided for 1920 by the bill will not be enough, ; and the Republican congress would ; be forced to impose heavier taxes to I meet the deficit and thus be blamed i for increasing taxes. Berlin and Vienna Again Told to Address Allies, Not U. S. Alone WASHINGTON, Dee. 10.—Notes were sent to Berlin and Vienna bv the state department today advising the German ami Austrian govern nients that the United States desires to receive no f urther communications from them which should properly be addressed to all the allied nations.

The latest note, which acting Secretary Polk has sent to the Swiss and Swe dish legations, for transmission to Germany and Austria, is brought out particularly by a communication fiom tlie national council of Lemourg. te garding the boundary lines, and brought also by various communica tions received from Austria and Ger many which bore no evidence of hav ing been similarly communicated to the governments associated with the United States/* Another ! ,000 Yanks Soon to Come Home WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—General 1 March, chief of staff, announced to day that these additional organiza tions have been assigned by General Pershing for early convoy home: One Hundred «nd Forty-first anti aircraft machine gun battalion.

BDUBMRYDISPIJTE BETWEEN BELCIUM momBEPOBT LONDON, Dec. 11.—(British Wire less Service.) —Belgian claims that the peace conference will be directed, not only against Germany, but against Holland, according to the Metropole, of Antwerp, which prints a statement made by the Belgian minister of foreign affairs. The min ister is quoted as follows: “Obviously our first demand from Germany will be the restitution ot all of which we were robbed in hun dreds of ways. As far as territorial readjustments are concerned, if you carefully read between the lines of the passages of the recent speecn from the throne which refers to the old treaties they will tell you as much as I can.” The passages in question deal especially with the international treaty of 1839 which fixed the status of Belgium. This treaty deprived the young kingdom of Belgium of the principal portions of her prov inces of Leswig and Luxemburg and enriched the German confederation by the Belgian towns of the provinces of Liege, such as St. Vith, Eupon, Malmady and Montjoie. It likewise made the kingdom of The Nether lands master of the lower Scheldt. The consequence was that the beginning of the war Antwerp ha» been bottled up and deprived of all possible assistance by sea against the invader. In declaring that the treaty which wronged Belgium h: this way and reduced her in size from 1839 to 1918, is now a dead letter, the king gave an idea of what Belgian claim:; would be.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The efforts of tne leaders of the Russian Mol .saeviki to strengthen themselves at nome by forming an effective alliance will! the extremist factions in Ger many are not proving successful. The Germans are adopting some of the outward forms ot the Bolshev iki governmental system, and the administration of Germany by ( the Bolsheviki method of local soviets is now in operation. But the essential factor in the Bolshevik! theory, that the workingmen should possess all power and should abolish tlie middle and upper classes, has made no marked impression upon the Ger mans. The soviet principle of ex tensive self-government in local ad ministrative affairs has probably been accepted by the Germans for good. But having gone this tar, the Germans are now planning to domi nate a reformed Russia politically, as they formerly tried to control the Russia ot the czars industrially. It is highly probable that if the Bolshevik! do not in the end throw Germany into turmoil, the Germans will impress an orderly Influence upon the Russians. This will mean the inevitable spread of German in fluences in Russia and may well lead to so strong an alliance as will threaten Europe with a new German ' menace. Russia is now isolated by the rest of the world. The Russians undoubt edly believe they have a grievance against thq western democracies. They imagine they are being pun ished because their own ideas of democracy are far in advance of wes tern ideas. Whether they are right or wrong, it can not be advantageous to America and the allies to permit Russia to linger in that belief and ‘ be slowly starved into the arms of Germany. Instead of helping the Germans and thus giving Germany an opportunity to help Russia to her own advantage, the western govern ments ought to offer material assist ance to the Bolsheviki by w’hatever method the Russian government sug gests. In the long run this is no more than a policy of self-interest. England Must Keep Her Navy Supreme, Says Lloyd George BRISTOL. England, Dec. 11.—“ The navy is a defensive weapon, not of fensive,” Premier Lloyd-George de clared in a speech here today, "that is the reason we don’t mean to give it up.” “If you want peace, you want a permanent peace," said Premier Lloyd-George. “It you want to pre vent the horrors of war being re peated, you must put an end to con script armies on the continent of Europe.” Mr. Lloyd George said conscrip tion was introduced in Great Britain to meet a great emergency and that when the emergency was passed the need which caused the passing of the act would lapse and there was no immediate intentio nto renew it. Whether some kind of conscription would be required in the future, he added, would depend entirely upon the peace terms. Referring to the question of an in demnity, Mr. Lloyd George said: "It is indispensable that a person who is in the wrong and has lost should pay more than a person who has been declared in the right and has won.” There is absolutely no doubt, the premier added, that the former Ger man emperor has committed a crime against national right and there is absolutely no doubt that he ought to be held responsible for it. Mr. Lloyd George declared that as far as the European allies are concerned there is no doubt that the demand will be put forward to make the emperor and his accomplices responsible for their crimes. The premier added: “I hope America will take the same view when the presiden tarrives.” Gasoline Substitute Owned by Government , To Be Put on Market WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—QuanH ty production of “liberty fuc ” the I war department’s new substitute for i gasoline, that can be manufactured ’ and sold for half the present price of “gas,” will be begun by private • interests as soon as patents pro-' tecting the government and the in- / ventor can beiobtained.
