The same fall contracts for the ‘down town district were awarded Han- lon & Okes, and a bitulithic form of paving was agreed upon for this sec-| tion. The paving company started its work late in the summer and con- tinued operations until the first of De- cember, by which time several of the more important streets in the bus: ness district had been paved. «:Han- lon & Okes completed their: werk in} the spring of, 1917, and the Ford Pav: ing Co., which had secured the con- tract for the larger district in the res- idence section, completed the greater part of its work during the 1917 sea- son, winding up its contract during the spring and early summer of this! year. ng Be Proud of Streets.

PERUAND CHILESEVER + RELATIONS Lima, Peru, Noy. 26.—The Peruvian government has not received any of: ficial advices from its consular repr sentatives in Chile for 48 hours, al- though it has recalled its rep nta- tives there. It is believed a strict cen- sorship is being maintained at all Chile- an ports. The Peruvian steamer Uru- bramba, now at Valparaise, hus been ordered to bring to Callao all Peruvi- ans desiring to leave Chile. The re- ports of cancellation by the Peruvian government of all the exequators of Chilean consuls in Peru is incorrect. Lima is quiet. Reports from South American capi- tals Monday night were to the effect that Chile and Peru had severed diplo- matic relations. There have been no diplomatic exchanges since Chile took possession of the provinces of Tacna and Arica, long known as the Alsace and Lorraine of South America, and which have caused trouble not -only between Chile and Peru but between Peru and Bolivia. FOREIGN MAIL that so far as mere numbers go the extremists are almost negligible. The elections of- the soldiers’ -and..work- men’s councils on Sunday show’ that the extremists poled out 4,600. as against 56,000 for the old line social- ists. Fuller reports from Bremen show that the movement in the coast cities already has turned into a conservative channel. A meeting of soldiers, workmen and peasants, councils, representing Bre- mén, Hannover, Hamburg, Oldenbung.. «:/'v/ Flensburg;, Osnabrueke, Wilhelmbay+sq en and a number of smaller places in the provinces of Hannover and Schles- wig Holstein adopted a resolution de- claring these councils would stand be- hind the government, The solution was adopted by a vote-of 81 to 20. There also was crushing defeat for the extremists at a meeting represent- ing the 10th army corps at Hannover, where by a vote of 100 to 44 a resolu- tion was adopted against efforts to es- tablish a dictatorship and demanding the assembling of a constituent as- sembly. It also may perhaps be considered an indication of the general public’s faith in the conservatism of soldiers that German and Prussian flags are beginning to reapear over Berlin af- ter having made way for the Red Flag since Nov. 10. Only in one suburb was objection made to the raising of the native flag. Elsewhere the em- blems were not disturbed.

Decreased production and a largely increased demand due to the war are given as the principal causes for the high prices by the dealers. Investi- {tors are informed that the farmer is receiving 80 per cent of the increase. Representatives of each department in the production commodities denied they are making extravagant profits. J. W. Loven, president of the Chica- go butter and egg board said today the highe prices were the result of market conditions and denied profi- teering by dealers or producers. { OCCUPIES HINDENBURG’S ROOM.
