BERLIN, November 18—Sugar ra- tloning wiil be introduced in Prussia December 1. thus reviving a policy which was alopted as a war measure, but which wvas dropped about two vears agc, when economic conditions improved.’ Revival of commodity ra- tioning is attributed to scarcity of products. When the law becomes effective, no person will be allowed more than one kilogram of sugar monthly, and will be able to obtain this amount only upon producing a written permit from the government. All dealers, includ- ing wholesalers, will be required to obtain licenses for handling sugar. The middleman’s profit will be re- duced to a minimum, and he will be prohibited from mixing domestic with imported sugar. and from requiring consumers to use a certain amount of the latter in order to obtain a quan- tity of the home products. Retailers will be permitted to sell only for household use. Sugar at present is re- tailing for 105 marks a pound, and is the first product to be rationed since war-time control was relaxed, al- though the poorer classes have been able to get bread and milk at re- duced rates through cards authorizing them to make purchases. URGES ALLOWANCE LIMIT. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 18.—Much criti- cism has been directed against the faculties of Cambridge and Oxford, as being responsible for the extravagant 1ife lead by many of the undergrad- uates of the universities. The subject gained wide publicity recently when a_student committed suicide because of financial difficities. Dr. Farnell, vice chancellor of Ox- ford University, in his address at the opening of the fall semester, said he had to admit that complaints, occa- sionally lodged against undergradu- ates of extravagant living, were not altogether without foundation. He blamed the local shopkeepers for giv- ing students credit and urged .that students be limited in the amount of money allowed them. _Dr. Farnell pointed out that the days of “Pendennis,” when under-graduates ‘were allowed to have parties In their rooms and to be without restrictions out of school hours, had graduall come to an end, and he said nowa. days cases of drinking among stu- dents were almost unknown. petroleum brought the !

RUSSIANS DWELL INRICHES AND RAGS Wild Night Life for Some Ref- ugees, Abject Positions for Others. By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 18.—Paris today affords an interesting, striking contrast in the manner in which Russian mem- bers of the nobility, refugees since the revolution, are living in their exile. Those who have means, and they are very few, continue in Paris the high life of which they were 2 part during the reign of the Romanoffs, while the majority are adopting themselves to the vicissitudes of poverty—accepting all sorts of occupations, and, remarkably, without shame. They accept as a sort !of heroism this battle with adversity, meeting cheerfully, with etifiled pride, the menial employment which would have been unbearably humiliating un- der ordinary circumstances. Now He Drives Taxi. For instance, there is Count Ignatieft, formerly one of the most popular officers of the czar's favorite regiment and & military attache in many capitals, in- luding Paris.

Ry Cable to The Star and Chi NASH. 0 Daily News. Copyright, 1922, METZ, rance, November 18— France, like Germany, seems to be having difficulties in the administra- tion of Alsace-Lorraine, though it cannot bhe denied that she has a stronger hold on the sympathi of the people. Some acts of the French government are severely criticized in the local newspapers. Deportations, for instance, like those organized by Premicr Poincare last Auguat, are still going on in a way that aggra- vates the population, according to as- sertion in German-language news- papers here. Only last week a workman who had lived twenty vears in the village of Styring-Wendel, near the Sarre bor- der. was thrown out of the country without indemnification, says the Metzen Freies Journal. “This was not an isolated case, but a common occurrence,” proclaims the Journal. “Such measures are cer- tainly ill calculated to win for France the affection of our German-speaking population. Deportations at times may be justified, that we do not deny. Before the government has recourse to them. however, we believe that each case should be brought before a special neutral tribunal, independent of petty local passions. Not Like Other Fremchmen. Furthermore, acgording to the Lothringisher Volk#eituns, attempts are being made to break up the unity between Alsace and Lorraine by gerrymandering _them lInto prosalc French - departments, which sup- posedly will offend the dignity of the two reconquered provinces. It is a fact, as 1 have found out from ex- perience, that people here feel them- selves different from other French- men. More than one has spoken to me in the course of the conversati¢n about the “frontier over west of Metz," as If a demarcation line still existed between Lorraine and France. Officlally the reconquered provinces are under a so-called “transitory re- gime,” to soften the harshness of their transfer from one allegiance to anothe A people that has been under German rule for fifty years could not be made French in & day. Despite statements to the contrary trom propaganda sources, the ma- Jority of people, even in Metz and other cities near the old French bor- der, continue to speak German or a dialect of German as their native tongue. Officials, army officers and school teachers imported from old France are likely to be impatient with this custom. Street names are given in French alone, without their German equivalent, aithough they might easily be made bilingual, as in Belgium or Switzerland. Shop signs also have been turned into French. There is talk of suppress- ing German as the alternative lan- guage in schools, courts and news- papers. Many Earlier Transition Signs of the transitory regime un- REAR ADMIRAL MARK L.

November 18.—"And Dukes Were Three a Penny.” sang Don Alhambra, the grand Inquisitor, in Gilbert's “The Gondoliers,” but those were pre-war prices, because in these days the quotation for even a modest baronetcy is listed at 40.000 pounds sterling, and in lieu of sen- sational divorce trials or blood-curd- ling murder mysteries, the great British public has become most keen- 1y Interested in what, by more or less common consent, is being termed “The great honors scandal.” Every now and then. when things are fairly dull, some one in England remembers that there ought to be some scandals in high life which would need raking over. Now the average man in the street in London, although he will glibly inform you that tha sale of peerages and knight- hoods long has been a recognized in- stitution just as the American will say that all congressmen are corrupt, naturally lacks definite proof of his charge, just as does the American.

This is not the first period of transi- tion that Alsace-Lorraine has under- gone. In Mets, for instance, the architecture of buildings bears mute evidence of historic changes. The cathedral and the “porte serpenoise” (old town gate) show evidence of German rule in medieval times, the courthouse and the municipal theater of French influence in the seven- teenth century, and the ugly modern railway station of “kaliserliche” jtaste in the period since 1870. Statues of Bismarck and Gen. Prince Frederick Charles, which were torn down on Armistice day, have been replaced by monuments to Marshal Ney, “the bravest of the brave,” born in Saar- louis, and to Gen. Lafayette, who left his post of aide on the staff of the governor general of Mets to fight for liberty in America. Finally, at the entrance to the spacious esplanade, a statue has gone up to the latest hero of all, the French poilu. Still as Great Fortress.

His account of the inter- view is quoted by the duke: “Mr. Shaw commenced the conversa- tion by telling me that he farmed 2,000 aocres of his own land and that he was running a horse in the derby. He then went on to say that my name had been mentioned to him as a suitable person for a baronetcy and if I agreed he could get it done in an hour. I presume he meant, put on the list. He sald the gov- ernment would not last very long, and that when Mr. Lloyd George went to the country he wanted funds for con- testing certain seats.” “In the event of Mr. Shaw denying the truth of these statements,” the duke concludes, “both these gentlemen are prepared to come forward publicly and support them.” BRITISH SEEK TO LURE U. S. FILM DIRECTORS November film producers, after more than three years of unsuccessful effort, now are 18.—British making plctures with which, they claim, they will be able to compete with American productions. Accord- ing to the British producers, their greatest difficulty has been in ob- taining directors ' at _salaries they have been able to offer. ' Recently, however, the producers obtained more funds, and now they are able to make tempting offers to American directors, as well as American stars. The first contingent of directors from America, which arrived six months ago, set about immediately to change completely the antiquated Ensu!h ideas by bullding the most modern studios and installing the latest equipment. These directors believe that they will be able to pro- duce the best pictures in the world in England within a year, because of the possibility of getting unlimited exterior and interior scenes of mod- ern and old England, which must be constructed, often incorrectly, when used in other countries. The results of these initial efforts have been more than satisfactory to the producers and’ three super-pro- ductions already have been placed on the market and have met with pub- lic approval, despite the bad reputa- tion which eariier English films have merited. SEES ‘GRAND SLAWY INBRITISH BALLOT “Revolt” Swept Lloyd George and Dictatorship Into Abyss, Says Gardiner. “WRECKAGE MONUMENT” All Credit to Overthrow Falls to Conservatives, Despite Liberals’ Efforts. BY A. G. GARDINER, Britain's Greatest Liberal Editor. Speclal Cable Dispateh to The Star. LONDON, November 18.—My fore- cast of the electlon result has been fulfilled. A tidal wave of almost un- precedented magnftude has swept the conservatives ‘into power and Lloyd Georgelsm Into the abyss. The chief ¢ause of this grand slam fs the revolt of the country against the methods of the past four years.

Liberal Party Wreckage. The single monument of his work is the wreckage of the liberal party and the overwhelming rehabilitation of the conservatives. The present feeling im that the election has sounded the death knell of the hopes for the revival of the liberal organi- zation. and it is doubtful whether it ever will be reconstructed as a first- class fghting instrument. It has been crushed between the upper and nether millstones of conservatism and Jabor. Asquith passes into final ‘lipse along with the liteutenant Who engineered his fall six years ago. In him passes a great Englishman. wise, distinterested, but lacking in initiative to meet great situations. Most significant is the growth of the labor party. It now takes the place of the liberals as the most powerful oppo- sition to conservative control. Its aim was to crush the liberals and this was nearly achieved last Wednesday. Not only are its numbers more than doubled, but its personnel is enormously enhanced 0 that it will be, intellectually. the most Zormidable clement of the new parlia- ment. The election disclosed the deplorable inefficiency of our present voting eystem. The vast majority of the conservatives are returned by a minority vote, the majority being split between the labor and liberal candidates. The chief vic- tims of the system were the liberals whose total vote iif the country should entitle them to more than double their actual representation. Woman's Vote Dominant. It also generally is agreed that the woman’s vote was a dominant factor. Last_election, when the women voted for the first time, they were almost a unit for Lloyd George. This time they supported the conservative ticket. It seems clear their influence will be exerted mainly on the side of reaction. Yet the fact is remarkable that only two women were successful. Lady As- tor and Mrs. Wintringham retaining their seats. The experience of this elec- tion indicates that a woman will not vote for a woman. What will Bonar Law do with his majority?

England is being ruined by the present continental policy. Will England now plainly face the issue with her ally and put to her the alternative that cither France will agree to let Germany have 2 chance at recovery or England must adopt other means of restoring Europe to peace and prosperity? A strong ap- peal to France is urgently needed. The moment is favorable in- view of Louch- eur's advocacy of a more reasonable policy.

By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, November 18.—The equanim- ity with which the French people accept a financial situation that would appear desperate to a person occupied only with the cold figures is one of the great- est surprises experienced by American observers these days. Occasionally some one, becoming disturbed by the situation, throws out a cry of alarm, but the effect is of short range and brief duration. No- body knows just what is the approxi- mate amount of the resources of France, nor the liabilities. The de- ficit in the appropriation bill now before the chamber of deputles is varfously estimated at from four to six billion francs, which is about the sum expended aanually by France be- fore the war. This is about far as any one gets in trying to fathom the financial situation. There is no sys- tem of general accounting from which a balance could be struck. Senator Berenger, reporter of the- senate finance committee, who deplores this lack of detailed accounting, said re- cently that even if Germany pald France her total share of reparations, the public debt of France still would be in the neighborhood of francs 336,- 000,000,000 paper. Yet Berenger himself refuses to be downcast. It is: only necessary, he says, to introduce into public affairs methods employed by every French business man in’ order to solve the problem. ———e INN 400 YEARS OLD.
