No peace with kaiserism, autocracy must go, no armistice can ever be thought of while Germany continues her atrocities on land and sea, one can not be considered unless it is fully dictated by the allied commanders in the field in such terms as absolutely provide safeguards and guarantees that Germany's part will not be a scrap of paper. This in a few words is the President's answer to Germany's pea< e proposal and it is with a decision which not only fulfills the expectations of supporters of his diplomacy, but also dispels the fears of those who predicted he would substitute victories at arms with feats at diplomacy. If it does not bring a capitnlation which may be more than an unconditional surrender, allied diplomats and American officials believe it may cause a revolution in Germany. Beyond question it speaks for the entente allies as well as the United States. The dispatch of the president's reply was followed by the issue of this formal statement at the White House by Secretary Tumulty: "The government will continue to send over 250,000 men with their supplies every month and thire will be no relaxation of any kind." Chrittmas Gifts for Overseas. Just at this time the announcement made by the official United States bulletin concerning Christinas packages for our boys in France and sailors in home or foreign waters, is of great interest. It is well for us to become familiar with these regulations and bear them in mind as we plan for Christmas. The regulations are given at length in the bulletin for October 7, but briefly, they are as follows: "One parcel will be accepted by the war department through the Red Cross for each soldier overseas. "Each soldier will be provided with one Christmas parcel label. This label will be forwarded by him to the person in the United States from whom he wishes to receive his Christmas package. Packages that do not bear this label will not be accepted by the Red Cross for delivery to the > postoffice authorities. Labels that are lost will not be duplicated. "Christmas parcels must be placed in cardboard boxes 3 by 4 by 9 inch* s in size. These boxes will b( provided to holders of labels, by the American Cross. I They may be obtained at Red Cross chapters or branches after Noverhber 1. i. i... i- .. in i vviui eacn uock win ue given complete instructions regarding , the articles which may be sent, and a list of articles which are barred by the postal authorities. Study these instructions and avoid mistakes. No message or written material of any kind will be allowed lo go in the boxes. When the boxes are packed, but unwrapped, they tfnust not weigh more than two pounds and 15 ounces. If the parcel is overweight, some article must be removed. "Do not mail the box yourself. When packed, the box stiould be taken to the nearest, collection station designated by the Rid Cross, unsealed and unwrapped, ready for inspection. "No Christmas parcels will he accepted by the Red Cross for shipment after November 20. Keep this fact in mind when planning a merry Christmas for the boys Over There." .,,11 IWI I .= FOR SALE A number of choice Pifm.

The sugar shortage Ih one of the in- 1 oonvenlonces of the war. It is not a tragedy. A little consideration and resourcefulness will quickly help to lessen the inconvenience. Housewives who have been accustomed to preserving fruits with quantities of sugar should not view the present sugar shortage as a death knell to their plans for conserving the fruit surplus. It is Important 'that these fruits be saved for winter use. Housewives who have been accus- I tomed to preser lag fruits with quan- | titles of sugar should not view the | iiiohuim sugar snoriuge as a death knell to their plans for conserving the fruit surplus. It is important that these fruits he saved for winter use. Sugar is desirable in preserving : fruit, but it Is not necessnry to ith sue- . cess. There are three things which the housewife should do to help in the augar conservation program: 1. Preserve a part of the fruit by methods requiring no sugar. 2. Preserve a part of the fruit with a greatly reduced supply of sugar. 3. Preserve a part of the fruit by replacing some of the sugar ordinarily used with other sweeteners. When canning without sugar fruits may be put up by the usual methods, using for the liquid, water alone instead of sirup. Unsweetened fruit Juice may b* used in place of sirup. Unsweetened fruit juice may be coreentrated. to a thin sirup and used in place of sugar. Fruit may be canned with one-half er one-fourth tha usual amount of sugar. The sweetness of the sirup in which fruits are canned may be reduced. In making Jams, marmalades and butters, reduce the volume of fruit pulp one-third to one-half by boiling, then measure and add only oue-balf augar by weight Instead of the customary three-fourths. Othor sweeteners may be used instead of sugar. Honey?If honey is obtainable It jaay be uaed weight for weight to re pi: part or all of the sugar in any fir j. recipe except in jelly making, rhre -fourths of & cup of honey weighs about as much as a cup of iu? ir. Vc asses?Molasses may be used as i substitute for sugar with such strong flavored fruits ms plums and cranberries. The flavor of molasses remains prominent. 1 Taking his Croix de Guerre fron his own breast, a French army cap tain, by orders of his general, pinner it on the coat of Edwin Ely, of No. 7; West Eighty-eighth street.
