In North Dakata a republican vacancy was filled by the election of John M. Baer, a former democratic postmas- tr, who ran as a non-partisan. 1In Pennsylvanla a republican, who re- tired after entering a plea of nolo con- tendere to an indictment for violation of the federal election laws, was suc- ceeded by Representative Beshlin, a democrat. The reversal in the Pennsylvania district was the most significant of any of the results in the congressional elections on November 6. In this dis- trict of the Keystane State n year ago a republican was elected to congress by a majority of four thousand. In the recent election Beshlin, the demo- crat, won by more than two thousand, a change in 12 months of six thou- sand votes. There have been seven cangression- al elections since the. general election of November, 1916, when President Wilson was re-elected. Six of these elections were held in districts that have usually elected republicans. The seventh occurred in the fifteenth dis- trict of New York City, where a demo- crat was returned. The six republican the Fi New Hampshire, Sixth In- diana, First North Dakota, Twenty- eighth Pennsylvania, Fourth Connecti- cut and Sixth Massachusetts. Democratic Gain in New Hampshire. In the First New Hampshire dis- trict, formerly represented by the late republican “war horse,”, Cy Sulloway, the democrats reduced the normal re- publican majority by nearly one thou- sand vote In the Sixth districts were Indiana, republicans elected one of their number, Repre sentative Richara W. Elliott, to suc- ceed Representative Comstock, repub- lican, deceased. The strongly republican districts in Connecticut and Massachusetts voted true to form and elected republicans to the vacancies. Democrats likewise maintained their supremacy in the Fifteenth New York district, where Tom Smith, secreta of Tammany Hall, was elected to cceed the late Representative Conry. In none of the districts where the special élections were held was there any indication of a falling off in the democratic strength. Yhe First North Dukota and the Twenty-cighth Penn- sylvania districts disclosed disaffec- tion in the republican ranks. The reve in the North Dakota and Pennsylvania districts are all the more marked when it is considered that combined majorities in the six republican districts where vacancies L were 32,874 W ago, Even more significant m indien- ican strength mayoralty The ocen ay tion of decreasing repu is the result in the recent clection in Greater New York. source from which Morris the socialist candidate, increased vote in the New oralty fight.

We believe that the you to use sugar spar- people of this country will be glad to do their part to conserve the sugar supply when they know the facts. These facts are, as follows: S More than two-thirds of the source of Eufope's sugar supply is within the present battle lines. This has resulted in greatly reducing the production of sugar in Europe. England and France and other countries have been forced to go for sugar to Cuba. Ordinarily, nearly all of the Cuban raw sugar comes. to the United States and is refined here, chiefly for home use. This is not the case now. In view of the exceptional world demand for sugar there is no surplus, and barely enough to tide us over until the new crop comes in. The people of the New England and Atlantic Coast States should use sugar sparingly. No one should hoard or waste it. This Company has no surplus sugar to sell. It is working with the Government to conserve the supply, and to take care of the Allies so far as possible. Do not pay an increased retail price.

And the hotels of the mio- tropolls are taking the lead in estab- lishing this new reputation. irom figures received by the Food Adminis- tration showing Immense savings i meat through the scrupulous observ- ance of Meatless Tuesday and Wheat- les. Wednesday and other conserva- tiol: measures they have adopted, it is clear that the New York hotels and restaurants are doing far more in proportion than the homes of the na- tion to save the foods America mus. ship to the European nations who are fighting its battles against Prussian autoéracy. If hotels and eating places in other cities were doing as well as those in New York, and If private homes were saving with equal care the amounts of wheat, meat, fats and sugar that would be ,gained for shipment to our allles would bs enormous. The saving of wheat ifp the larger hotels and restaurants in New York city are already yielding well towards a thousand barrels of flour a week, and mor than a thousand tons of meat, and this in spite of the fact that the movement has hardly mors than falrly started, and new estab- lishments are joining every day. Actual figures received show that in the hotels and restaurants of New York clty on Tuesday, November 1%, the saving in meats amounted to 193,545 pounds, or 96.75 tons. The saving of wheat flour on Wednesday, November 14, was 101,- pounds, or 50.6 tons, or 517 bur- Through taking certain meats from the daily menus and refusing to serve meats at banquets a further conservation was effected by hotels and restaurants swelling the total quantity of meats saved by them in New York durlng the whole week of November 12, to 232,254 pouhds, or 116.12 tons, By the use of whole or partial sub stitutes for wheat flour particul 4 in bread and pastries, the saving ir wheat flour for the week is increasel to 121,554 pounds, or 60.8 tons, or about 0 barrels. Provision dealers who ‘supply New York hotels report a considerable de- crease in sales since the adoption of Meatlesd Tuesda One firm, which supplies onl 1s of the better with meats, reports a of 50 per cent. in orders for Tuesday. A wholesale house selling to both butchers and hotels reports a decrease of 10 to per cent. in weekly sales. A firm selling in sev- eral states to a great variety of trade reports the following decrease in Tuesday orders ince the adoption of meatless da In hotels, 30 per cent. In restaurants, hospitals and insti- tutions, 25 per cent. In schools, 25 per To retail trade per cent. Meatless Tuesday and Wheatless Wednesday were not actually suggest- ed to hotel and restaurant proprietors until early in Oectober, when the prop- aganda for.a beefless Tuesday was { just beginning to take effect. Many hotels begart the meatless, day only the first Tuesday in November, and in many others Tuesday of this week is the first meatless day to be ob- served. The saving of meats in New York will show enormous increase this week. Tt is cstimated that and restaurants in that city within a fortnight will be saving a minimum pf 200 tons of meats and 1,200 barréls of wheat flour per weelk. If the hotels and restaurants of the whole country save in the same pro- portion that those of New York are saving, John McE. Bowman, chief of the Hotels Division, of the T. . Food Administration, believes that in this one industry alone the savings will be sufficient to furnish several shiploads of meats and wheat each week for our armies and allies, cent. and homes, 12% NO DIPLOMA 3 (Correspondence of the Asso. Press) Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov. 18.— Germany has had no diplomatic rep- resentative in Aigentina since Count Luxburg recelved his passports. The German Government is without menas of appointing a minister. The secretaries and attaches at the German Legation in this city have no diplomatic standing, being merely clerks to the accredited minister or charge d'affaires. When Count Lux- burg recelved his passports from the Argentine Foreign Office, he could not invest the secretary of the legation with the rank and diplomatic char- acter of a charge d'affaires, as he had never been presented to and recog- nized by the government in a dipio- matic capacity. Moreover, If the German Govern- ment should attempt to put the lega- tion in charge of persons who are al- ready in the field, it is not considered likely here that the Argentine Gov- ernment would accept either as min- ister or charge d'affaires any of thosc persons who have followed Count Lux- burg in the capacity of accomplices or who have simply been his instru- ments. Therefore, ay diplomatic rolatlonsi between Germany and the Argentine | Republic will hvae to be carried on through the Argentine Minister at] Berlin, H hotels alone, | Ready for Y Inspection Our most distinctive line of JEWELRY, WATCHES, DIAMONDS, SILVERWARE, CUT GLASS and IVORY, Suitable for CHRISTMAS GIFTS, is now fully displayed and awaiting your critical inspection.
