Likewise, I feel that the quantity
and variety of dependable foods from
which Mess Sergeants at canton-
ments can choose, is in itself a high
endorsement of a food distributive
system as effective in war as in
times of peace.
With over one-third of the Armour
output going to feed our Army
and Allies, there is greatly restricted
supply for civilian use. The problem
of Branch Managers is to see that
this quota is evenly distributed, so
that our young men in training may
lack nothing in this respect.
Imagine the confusion if we lacked
these distributing stations and the
information they are able to
give us daily as to local community
needs!

If you have a severe cough or chest
cold accompanied with soreness, throat
tickle, hoarseness, or difficult breathing,
or if your child wakes up during the
night with croup and you want quick
help, try this, reliable old home-made
cough remedy. Any druggist can sup-
ply you with 212 ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into a pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Or you can use clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, in-
stead of sugar syrup, if desired. This
recipe makes a pint of really remarkable
cough remedy. It tastes good, and in
spite of its low cost, it can be depended
upon to give quick and lasting relief.
You can feel this take hold of a cough
in a way that means business. It loos-
ens and raises the phlegm, stops throat
tickle and soothes and heals the irritated
membranes that line the throat and bron-
chial tubes with such promptness, ease
and certainty that it is really aston-
ishing.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and is probably the best known
means of overcoming severe coughs,
throat and chest colds.
There are many worthless imitations of
this mixture. To avoid disappointment,
ask for "212 ounces of Pinex” with full
directions and don’t accept anything else.

Beginning with the matinee this aft-
ernoon the new bill is “Fads and Fan-
cies.” It will be played for the balance
of the week until Sunday when another
new one will be offered. “Fads and
Fancies” deals with two men who are
shipwrecked on one of the South Sea
islands and then the action begins.
There is enough plot woven through
the story to make it interesting and at
the same time amusing.
A few of the musical numbers are: '
“Bagdad,” sung by Danny Galloway;
"Night Time Down in Conion," by the
entire chorus; “Till the Sands Grow
Cold,” sung by Harry Dale; "I Love
You, Oh, Oh, Oh,” W. F. Bowker; “Sweet
Daddy,” Miss Henrietta, and “Coffee

Bennett.
A new one, written and composed
by W. F. Bowker, “She’s Yours and She’s
Somebody Else’s, Too,” will be sung
by Miss Aline Walker. Miss Walker
has a very splendid soprano voice and
uses it very well.

Today and tomorrow only the thrill-

attraction at the Strand. A large
crowd at all times yesterday denoted
its popularity. It is a powerful dra-
matization of the popular novel by the
author of “Life’s Shop Window." It is
well staged and features the capable
Victoria Cross as the star who is
backed up with a good supporting
company. There are many hair-rising
scenes through the plot which finally
work out all right in the end.

that crime.”
With regard to the former German
emperor the premier said:
“There is absolutely no doubt that
he has committed a crime against in-
ternational right, and there is abso-
lutely no doubt that he ought to be
held responsible for it so far as the
European allies are concerned.”
The premier said he hoped that Amer-
ica would take this view when the
president arrived, as the demand would
be put forward on the part of the Eu-
ropean allies “to make the kaiser and
his accomplices responsible for this
terrible crime.”
Referring to a letter said to have
been written by a British general to a
French general in which the British
officer was quoted as saying it was
proposed to establish a British national
army of twenty divisions, based on con-
scription, but that “the cabinet would
not touch this until after the elections
and then not until this league of na-
tions nonsense had been discussed at
the peace conference,” Premier Lloyd-
George declared:

scheme. So far as the cabinet is con-

Every one who saw the wonderful
picture “Hearts of the World" remem-
bers the amusing care-free vixen Dor-
othy Gish. She is appearing in a good
one, with her same clever acting, at
the Queen again today for the last time
in “Battling Jane.” It is a story of
how a care-free, happy young “vago-
bond girl,” who comes into a village on
her bicycle from literally out of “no-
where,” puts the town “over the top”
in a thrift stamp drive, and stirs up
things generally for the good of the
villagers. “Battling Jane” stars the
inimitable Dorothy Gish. Jane is her
own mechanic when she punctures her
tire at the edge of the village, and it
is while she mends her “horse” before
an enthusiastic and interested crowd
that she learns of the thrift stamp
drive and also of the little Baby Shel-
don who she latter adopts and makes
the chief factor in the drive. H@w sho

clared to be in the right and had won.
The premier said a British imperial
commission had been appointed to in-
vestigate the capacity of Germany to
pay, and that he had received its report.
He summarized his remarks on this
point as follows:
“First—As far as justice is concerned
we have an absolute right to demand
the whole cost of the war from Ger-
many.
“Second—We propose to demand the
whole cost of the war from Germany.
“Third—When you come to the ex-
acting of it we must exact in such a
way that it does not do more harm to
the country that receives it than the
country that is paying it.
“Fourth—The commission appointed
by the British cabinet believes that that
can be done.
"Fifth-—The allies are in exactly the
same boat. We shall put in our de-
mands all together, and whatever they
are they must come in front of the
German war debt.”
The prime minister continued:
“The first consideration in the minds
of the allies will be the interests of
the people upon whom the Germans
have made war and not in the inter-
ests of the German people who have
Special to The Tribune.
Austin, Dec. 12.—Estimates of appro-
priations for the support and mainten-
ance of the various state departments,
educational and eleemosynary institu-
tions of the state for the next two
fiscal years have been filed with the
comptroller’s department by the heads
of practically all departments and in-
stitutions. The comptroller will tabu-
late these estimates and present them
to the consideration of the general ap-
propriation committee of the house and
the senate finance committee when the
legislature convenes next January.
An inspection of these estimates dis-
close that there is a decided increase
asked, not only in salaries, but also for
maintenance, due in a great measure to
the decided increase in various com-
modities and general cost of living. The
present salaries, of the superintendents
of the three insane asylums is $2,000 a
year, in addition to the state furnishing
a house and groceries for these offi-
cials. In the estimates, filed the three
superintendents fixed their salaries at
$4,000 a year, although two of these
subsequently reduced the amount to
$3,000 a year. Increases in salaries are
also asked by the heads of a number of
the educational institutions of the
state.
The estimate or budget of the A. and
M. college calls for an appropriation of
$751,620 for salaries alone for the next
two years, $516,950 for support and
maintenance and $499,900 for permanent
improvements. Included in the item for
permanent improvements is one for
$150,000 for the construction of a
memorial hall for the students of this
institution who have fallen in the war.
The budget for the University of Texas
calls for a total appropriation of $1,056,-
930 for each year, of which $678,740 is
for salaries each year, $902,200 for
maintenance, which includes the sala-
ries item, each year. This does not in-
clude $154,740 each year for the medical
branch at the university, nor does it in-
no inconvenience. Be sure you get the
genuine.— (Ady.)

7---BIG A CTS-
By Associated Press. z
Bristol, Dec. 11.—(By the Associated
Press).—The war bill of the allies,
against Germany is 24,000,000,000
pounds, according to the prime minis-
ter, David Lloyd-George, who presented
this and other interesting facts before
a large gathering here yesterday. The
costof the war to Great Britain was
8,000,000,000 pounds.
Before the war the estimated wealth
of Germany, said the premier, was be-
tween 15,000,000,000 and 20,000,000,000
pounds. So if the whole wealth of
Germany were taken, there would not
be enough to pay the account. There-
fore, he had used the words: “Germany
should pay to the utmost limit of her
capacity.”
When the prime minister was ad-
dressing an overflow meeting, he said
Great Britain would be guilty of a
great folly if she gave up her navy.
A voice interrupted: “Then watch
Wilson."
The premier replied: "Well, I hope
to meet him in a fortnight. I will tell
him what you say."
“Wherever the request comes from,
we are not going to give up the pro-
i “Mel Trotter” here Sunday night at
the First Presbyterian church.
tection of the navy so far as Great
Britain is concerned."
Lloyd-George said the English mili-
tary service act was passed in order to
meet a great emergency. When that
emergency was passed the need was
passed and the act would lapse. He
added there was no intention to renew
it. Whether Great Britain would re-
quire conscription depended not upon
the opinion which he now expressed,
but upon the peace terms which were
made. Continuing, the prime minister
said:
“What drove us to conscription was
the existence of conscript armies on
the continent that inevitably rushed
the world into war. They could not
have great military machines there
without tempting the men at the head
of them to try their luck with those
machines. The Germans always felt
there was nothing to resist their per-
fect military machine.
"If you want a permanent peace: if
you want to prevent the horrors of
this war being repeated, you must put
an end to conscript armies on the con-
tinent of Europe.
“The first thing to do is to prevent
the repetition of blunders of the past
by making it impossible tp have those
great conscript armies in the future.
“We did not have the machinery for
an offensive war. Our navy is a de-
fensive weapon and not an offensive
one; and that is why we do not mean to
give it up. We have kept those islands
free from invasion for centuries, and
we mean to take no risk in the future.”
Mr. Lloyd-George declared that the
decision which would be taken in the
next few months in the peace confer-
ence was going to leave a mark upon
the world. The ages to come, he said,
would be able to reap the fruits of it.
The premier next dealt with the
question of indemnity. He declared the
war had cost Germany less than it had
cost Great Britain. It had cost Great
Britain, he declared, eight billion
pounds; a gigantic sum. The German
bill he believed was six billion pounds
or seven billion pounds. He contended
it was indefensible that the person who
was in the wrong and had lost should
pay less than the person who was de-

There is no denying the potency of
“Mutt and Jeff," the peer of all musi-
cal farce comedies, which is under-
lined as the next offering at the Grand
opera house, commencing tomorrow
night. The Laugh Twins, now in their
eighth yearly edition, are as attrac-
tive and entertaining as ever. This
season an entirely new version of the
enduring cartoon “kick-ups” is offered
and the result is one of the most pre-
tentious and thoroughly up-to-date
productions ever offered to theatergo-
ers. The fun, while of the brisk, live-
ly nature, is clean and wholesome.
There is not the least suggestion of
vulgarity or horse play, and the sit-
tuations, while side-splitting, are not at
all improbable. Specialties of the kind
that lift any offering above the com-
monplace are introduced and musical
numbers, with catchy, tuneful melod-
ies, are scattered throughout the action
of the play. The scenery is on the spec-
tacular order and is carried complete
for the production. The cast is com-
posed of forty people, all capable in
their particular field of merry-making.
The singing chorus includes twenty as
bewitching and beautiful young women
as ever mustered in any theatrical
company; while the costume, it is said,

than any shown, here in year. The
