BRITISH REMOVE i MANY WAR BANS Only Sugar and Butter Are Now Rationed in United Kingdom I.vntlon, Dec. 10.—The end of one year of peace finds the United King dom still working under many of the war-time restrictions anVcung ordi nary living conditions, althougn large numbers of the orders have been rescinded and others have boon modified. So far as food is concerned, only sugar and butter art* now rationed. 1 ▼ The regulations regarding the amount of meat which might be purchased were removed only a few dtys ago. about one year after the close >f the war. The consumption of liquor, however, is being held down rigidly ; under the old rules. Necessities still rationed, which vitally concern the 1 home include coal, gas and electric- , ity. The shortage of fuel has been causing considerable hardship both to the individual and to industry. The Ministry of Food lias found it j advisable to continue the maximum ; prices, both wholesale and retail, which it fixed for a considerable num ber of necessities Apart from the matter of food and fuel, the Hoard of Trade is maintain - j ing control of the exportation and j importation of a long list of articles. | The l>an has been removed from some I goods, but this has been mainly in ■ the case of things importation of ] which had been forbidden and which the country found itse'.f short of. Removal of restrictions on most of j the food necessities has not solved* the living problem of the masses, however. There is still a great short- j age of many things, and moreover, prices, which went down last summer | have now mounted to about where j they were at the signing of the arm- ! irtice. The increase is attributed partly to the world scarcity of necessities, part- j ly to the augmented demand from the I'-centljr belligerent countries, and partly to inflated currency and ad- j verse foreign exchanges. The last 1 named have had a pronounced intlu- ! eiice on prices and it is the belief of j economic experts that food cannot j become tnucli cheaper until those are] adjusted, even though there is an in- j ctease in production. The butter ration is placed at one ' and one-half ounces for each person j per week. This refers to the import- ! •• i product only, there being no re- ' strietion on the use of homemade hut - t ter. As a matter of fact, virtually no! better is being made in the United < Kingdom these days. o that the con sumer has to depend upon margarine and foreign butter.

Hundred? Seeking Refuge in Holland Hardcrwijik. Holland, Dec 10. -j Hundreds of men and women of all j nationalities, considered undesirable. | but accorded refuge and hospitality j by The Netherlands, are still con- I fined behind barbed-wire fences in ' the big war internment camp here, j The still are sources of trouble to the Dutch government. Many of them are war refugees, eseaped from Oermany, or Belgium, and to their number, since the war, have been added several sources of Russians, of Bolshevik tendencies, whom the government has confined here for safe keeping. The Russians have been particu larly troublesome, but the means taken by one of the Dutch military officers in charge of the camp to control their actions are repotted in the Dutch press to have them so se vere that recently a number of Dutch soldiers are said to have mutinied rather than obey the orders.
