SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. Federal
Food Commissioner Merritt announced
today that the ruling restricting sugar
purchases to one pound at a time does
which they justly look upon with hor
ror and burning hearts. It is necessary
also in order that there may be no pos
sibility of a misunderstanding that the
president should solemnly call the at
tention of the government of Germany
to the language and plain intent of the
terms of peace which the government
has now accepted. It is contained in
the address of the president, delivered
at Mount Vernon on the 4th of July
last. It is as follows. "The destruc
tion of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately or secretly and of j
its single choice, disturb the peace of I
the world, or if it- can not be perma
nently destroyed, at least its reduction
to virtual impotency' can be effected.
The power which has hitherto control
led the German nation is of the sort
here described. It is within the choice
of the German nation to alter it.' The
prsident's words just quoted naturally
constitute a condition precedent to
peace if peace is to come by action of
the German people themselves. The
president feels bound to say that the
whole process of peace will depend up
on the definiteness and satisfactory
character, of the guarantees which can
be given in this fundamental matter. It
is indispensable that the governments
associated against Germany should
know beyond peradventure with whom
they are dealing. The president will
make a separate reply to the royal
and imperial government of Austria
Hungary." HENDERSON STATES
NEVADA'S ATTITUDE
Senator Henderson today sent the
following , telegram to President Wil
son : "I have just returned to Nevada,
a state whose record is 100 per cent
and better in responding to all war ac
tivities and demands, and I find a uni
versal sentiment, which I concur with,

ditional surrender upon the part of Ger
