JOFFRE HONORED BY HIS NATION; WILSON ATTENDS French Marshal Pays Glowing Tribute to the People of America By Associated Press Paris, Dec. 19. — Marshal Jofl're now is formally numbered among France's forty immortals. The vic tor of the Marne was made a mem ber of the French Academy this af- j ternoon. President Wilson attended the function. In the course of his Inaugural ad dress the marshal said: Aroused to Noble Ta.sk "It is not without deep emotion that 1 look back upon the time which I spent last year in the United Stutes. This people, by the inten sity of its affection for France, cans- j ed one to sense the strength which i it somehow felt, but which it did ! not yet know how to employ. It | seemed that by its great love this people felt itself already doing some thing noble and comforting to the allied armies. It made no mis take, for that love enabled France.) overwhelmed by the defection of the i Russian armies and by the groat and weakening trials of the spring of 1917. to keep intact its contldence and its courage. "While in the midst of the Amer ican crowds 1 was living hours which 1 number among the sweet est of my life. I had divined the need for sacrifices on their part awakened in the soul of this gene rous people by the heroism of our soldiers and the justice of our cause. In order that France might live in prosperity, that Belgium might re establish herself, that liberty might reign and that right might be rein stated, America arose and resolved to throw into the tight her last man and her last dollar. 1 riiuls Yankee Soldiers 'History does not record a more | marvelous achievement than that of | millions of men voluntarily breaking away from their peaceful pursuits to cross the seas, where lurked death; to come thousands of miles from their country and give up their lives for a noble cause, a great ideal. And as if the sacrifice was not com pleted by sending the husbands and sons, we have seen the wives, the . fathers and the mothers escorting; across the seas that phalanx of war-1 riors to alleviate our sufferings and j dress our wounds. We have seen them unsparingly giving their gold and the treasures of their hearts, kneeling on the graves of our sons and adopting our orphans. "In a brotherly embrace. France and America have given one another their faith, a pledge for the j ent and the future." ; . * Brewery Capital May Be Transferred to the Orient San Francisco. —Relative to the , announcement by California brewery interests, that large amounts of cap-) jtal invested in the brewery industry ; in the United States will be taken : to the Orient and there devoted to a j vast expansion of the brewery busi- | liess. the foreign trade department, of the San Francisco Chamber of j Commerce states that while it has no specific knowledge as to the pro- . posed movement it considers it quite j possible that there will be a general, movement of brewery capital to, China, Japan and other Far Eastern countries. ) This authority also states that the i matter of transferrins American brewery capital to Mexico, from ; which to supply the South and Cen- j tral American nnd West Indian trade , lias been discussed. Others well in-1 formed on the general situation say) that while it is doubtless a fact that the brewers of the United States are i looking for foreign lields of opera-rl tion the matter is given publicity at, this tfpie for the purpose of influ encing" the Legislature against rati lication of the Federal Prohibition amendment. It is said that the liquor : interests hope to defeat ratification in California, even though they know that the'' amendment will be ratified by the required number of states, for the purpose of laying the foundation for a campaign of non enforcement after the fedefal amendment becomes law. [t is said that the liquor people will ,in case ot nonratification in California, call for lax enforcement on the ground that the state never ratified the amendment. As for any apprehension of conse- 1 qugnees from the withdrawal of brewery capital from the United States, attention is called to the fact that a groat cry was raised about a similar eventuality when the State of Washington went dry in 1914. Relative to what has actually .aken place in this latter connection, Franklin Hishborn, of the California Anti-Saloon League, has declared that although great brewery inter ests left Y.'ashington and came to California, nevertheless Washington benefited greatly by the departure of the brewery capital. Neither California nor the nation need feel apprehension he continued, as to any harmful consequences from the departure of brewery capital to foreign lands. China is. however, very properly alarmed at the pros pective invasion of the brewery bat talians. Representatives of the Chi nese Republic were present at the re cent international dry conference at Columbus, Ohio, and made most ear nest protestations against the threat ened exploitation of China by the brewery interests atd wanted all pos sible steps taken to prevent the con summation of the brewers' plans. Belgian Soldier Asks Aid of Stamp Collectors Interned in Holland, Alex de Rocker, a Belgian soldtef. has been passing bis time by collecting canceled starnos of various countries.

With the advent of cold weather, however, the slight amount of fuel in the coal yards would be quickly depleted.' Mr. Johnston said that the situa tion is not extremely gloomy, how ever, as more householders have coal in their cellars than ever before. This TTXRRISBTTRO TEEEGRXPIt alleviating factor is due to their early ordering. Future coal shipments are depend ed upon to avert a shortage here. The shipments were good last week. Mr. Johnston said. In November they fell 2.600 tons sort of the city's 13,601 tons monthly allotment. The winter has been so mild, however, that tho 15,000-ton shortage to date for tho coul year beginning last April 1, has not yet been noticed to uny considerable degree. In the future, it is hoped the mine operators will ship enough coal to make up the shortage. Conserving Fuel People are conserving more fuel than ever before. Mr. Johnston said, for patriotic and mercenary reasons. Buckwheat coal, an unprepared size which can be secured In any amounts without restrictions, is helping tho anthracite situation, in that it is be ing used considerably. Tho river coal situation this year, in contrast to last year, is highly en couraging. Innsfnueh as the river dredges still are working and were out in more force than ever before during the summer and fall, the large industries consuming river coal will not experience the acute shortages that existed last year. Bun*ming up the situation, it Is de clare* that if the winter is not too severe and the mine operators do not fall down on their promises, the city will get through the winter with out suffering any acute lack of fuel.

PREMIER CALLS , ON PRESIDENT [CoutJiiuctl from First Pago.] sump lon of agticuliiml effort in legions devastated by the war. The reason given for President Wilson's deslro to make an early visit to England, it is understood, is that he lias found it might be neces sary to return to Washington much sooner than he had expected. Wheth er this means u change in the Pres ident's entire program, including his Journey to Ituly, is not known here. Await Veixllct nt I'oils An interesting feature of the dis cussion of the President's intended visit beginning next Thursday is that the present British cabinet is tech nically not in a position to speak for Lie government until the result of the recent elections are known on December 28. There is little, doubt, however that Premier Lloyd George and his associates have been re-elected.

Don't allow paper and wooden dishes to be weighed in with your commodity. Don't buy poultry by tho tugged weight. Make the merchant put the fowl on the scale and weigh it. You! will be surprised at the difference in the weight and consequent saving to ! your poeketbook. Don't ask for a basket, a box, a | carton or a package of anything. Ask j for a definite quantity and have the, merchant state a definite price perl pound or per unit. Don't buy candy by the box unless | the weight of the contents is mark ed on the outside. If short of that ■ marking bring it to this bureau at ! once. | Don't buy potatoes from an un . known huckster unless he weighs them in your presence. There are lots of fake hucksters, with fake names on the sides of their wagons, who buy seconds in potatoes, sell them cheaper thun your storekeeper, but who give you false weight, be cause he knows you cannot get him by the false name on the side of his wagon. Don't fail to notify the bureau of any scales, weights or measures which to you seeji suspicious. Don't fail to report to this bureau any sharp practices you notice la stores. Don't gossip with your tradesmen, but watch hint and watch the scale he uses. Don't fail to ask price per pound before you buy anything.
