HIGH WHEAT MAY RAISE LOAF Bakers Considering Price Increase or Size Decrease Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 7. —Millers are to-day raying $1.26 per hus'hel for wheat.

Concealing the Horrors of War Ixt Panne, the little seaside village, built for summer gavety, had more of the romance of war in it than any place I have -een. The half dozen summer hotels and till the villas were filled with the moth- ers. wives, ond children of the Belgian soldiers whose liring line I had ju.*t left. Their homes h:i.j been in Brussels, Ant werp, Ghent, Now thev were in the last little town in Belgium. To some their soldiers had already returned, and they were dining as merrily as if to morrow did not hold out a' reasonable likelihood of beiug killed. At the doors of the hotels an i on the street were many others waiting, and, as the street had filled up with another French ar tillery division bivouacked for a few Hours, they could not see their men folk until they wer,. close at hand. Now and then as we pii-sed we could hear little gasps of happiness. H'or some, of i-ourse, there were disappointment and bad news. But they must have carried their sorrow to tiieir chambers, as Panne was all gayety. V comment on the Belgian soldiers made at the beginning of the war oc , curred to me: "They shoot the enemy all day: at night they come home and kiss mother. In the morning they kiss mother again and go ba< k to shoot some more." They certainly showed capable of shaking off th© horrors of war before their women folk. To see' them there in l,a Panne rha: night you might have thought it was all a sham' battle if it had not been for a convic tion of reality that would nut shake' i'ff. — Arno Dosch, in "The World's Work" for January.
