Unconditional surrender 1 These wera the words right or wrong that set tho fculse of New York beating as it never beat before In a perfect fever of Joy and' delirium. American soldiers had won It, and, far away as they were, ! ir. i.orruine, in rcwon ecaan . within I Mght of Meti, their spirit was here lit . ' , llroadway, in Nassau street. In every street and place of this great city, And In the marching of the thousand Improvised processions of men and women, happy men and women, one could hear the returning- footsteps of. our triumphant heroes. Oh, th sound of feet victorious. Oil, the flags and banners (lorlouel "Hun" Fund Not to It el ax. It was all that was . wanting the troops' return. For that we will have to school ourselves to valt. Mean while TJie Sun Tobacco Fund will not relax one effort to send over to them our congratulations of a proud people In the tangible shape they like tobacco. More than ever It Is determined to make their last Christmas abroad one of real festivity, and the feast- must begin and end with plenty of smokes Meanwhile the holidays are upon us, with the duties of love and admiration we owe to our soldiers still, to be ful filled. The Bun Tobacco Fund haa un dertaken to supply them with" holiday to bacco. -Everybody will welcome the opportu. nlty to give to the fund which the sol. dlers acclaim. Everybody who has al ways meant to send money to 'the fund to buy a soldier tobacco will hasten to help supply .the sum 'hat will buy and trans.hlp this desired arid necessary holi day gift to France. The soldiers themselves ask for these tobacco gifts. They ask openly, as one asks of a trusted friend a favor he .ran not refuse, or they ask Indirectly by re turning thanks for what they have re ceived In the way of cigarettes and jmoklng tobacco with the Implication that, this supply cannot last forever, and both are essential to a happy holiday season. Some, more skilful still In put ting their wishes before Tiis Sun fund donors, are in the latest null sending back Christmas cards! Corporal F. 8. Tlchencr sends over a Christmas card to Louise Morgan, a fund donor, nnd accompanies It with bis pic ture, showing him with two flne horses. Christmas, 1918. he dates his letter of thanks, saying It la from about thirty boys who are enjoying a quantity of cigarettes received October 19. He adds: "We were on starvation, diet In the smokes line when your gift arrived. In fact, tobacco has been aa scarce as Eve's summer raiment or theattlre of a star of a modern revue, which wouldn't pro vide a decent dugout for a flea. I have been a long way from home since we started this game, and there Is every prospect of my being here Ifto the new year, although in the- early, part of 1919 I hope to be at home again. With many thanks and wishing for you 'all that you wish for yourself. I am In closing a Christmas card 1" Ills Messaare Is Between the Lines. Another young olTlcer sends a Christ mas card to Tire Sun which Bays: "Christmas, 1918. With kindest thoughts and nil good wishes for Xmas and the coming year." He mails It without com ment, but The Sun Is able to read be tween Its lines. Corporal Alex Bt. Clalrlowe of Fourth Full Ccmpany, Australian Engineers, has a fin tribute to pay American sol diers who fought by his side In a letter -to Miss tattle Johnson: "I have played games with them out of the firing line. I have 'hopped the bags' with them on four occasions, and say, aren't they some fighters when up against It? And I ought to know, for I have been 'hopping tt-.e bags' for three 'years and a half. By that I mean I have been going ovej the top so long, and I guess I know a noldler when I see one. And 'the American variety Is a soldier!

Complaints came from milk consumers In widely different sections of the city yesterday that it was Impossible to pur. chase quart bottles which sell for 16 cents each, whereas there appeared to be an abundant supply, of pints which retail for 10" cents each, thus netting a profit of 4 cents more on each quart. At the offices of the Dairymen's League at 110 West Fortieth street the situation was attributed to a scarcity of milk due, It was said, to the fact that many farmers were disposing of their cows as a result of the attitude of tho Food Administration. It was predleted the situation would grow steadily worse as long as present conditions prevailed. Htanley Mills, office manager of the Dairymen's League, said: "The scarcity of milk Is due to the fact that the Food Administration has been basing the price to the consumer, first, upon figuring what the consumer Is to pay, then allowlnz tie dealer his 7.2 centa a quart for handling without questioning whether this Is a proper charge for distribution, and then giving the farmer what Is left 1 "This policy has created a situation which haa caused the farmers to dispose of their cows and naturally the flow of milk Is largely decreased. I am not a calamity howler but this Is only the be ginning of the shortage. In my opinion it will not be a question of what the consumer has to pay for hla milk but whether he can get It at all. "We have tried to get the farmers to be patriotic and not go on strike but It . la a question If we can hold them ln , line much longer.

Swift & Company Has Not "Jest Growed" Swift & Company.in fifty years of well ordered growth, has become one of the great national services because it has learned to do something for the American people which they needed to have done for them, in the way in which they preferred to have it done. It has met each successive demand, in the changing conditions of national life, by getting good meat to increasing millions effectively, efficiently, economically, and expeditiously, The Swift & Company packing plants, refrigerator cars, car routes, branch houses, organization, and person nel of today are the practical solutions, born of practical experience, to the food problems of a half a century. Because of all of these elements working in cor relation and unison, Swift & Company is able to supply more and better meat to more people than would have been possible otherwise, at a net profit per pound of meat o low (a fraction of a cent) that the consumer price is practically unaffected. Strip away any portion of this vast, smooth-running human machine, and you make a large part of the meat supply uncertain, lose the benefit of half a century of fruitful experience, and scatter tho intelligent energies of men who have devoted a life work toward meeting the needs of a nation in one vital field.

Possibly for that rea son It might not be amiss to defer ana lytical consideration of the rerom-tructed orchestra till It Is hoaiil under M. Ita- baud. Of a certainty, all old friends of the gentlemen from Boston will hope that they will not contract a habit of playing as they played the Cesar tranck symphony. It was a very vigorous, not to say ro bustious reading that M. Monteux gave. dcfli lcnt In delicate shades of color.
