Supplies Cut OCX,
WASHLN'OTOX. Oct. 24. Two hundred
million pounds of Louisiana cans sugar
was contracted for here today bjc the
American Sugar Kefining1 Company and
will beg-in moving- northward next
week to relieve, the serious shortage
of the Kastern states.
If the Kastern consumer had been
compelled to await the comiag of this
year's supply from western beet and
Cuban cane fields, there wDuld have
been no relief for existing near-famine
conditions until late in November.
For the 00,000,000 pounds the re
finers paid about $13,000,000, or ap
proximately G .cents a pound. After
adding the cost of transportation and
refining, it is estimated that they will
be able to sell to the wholesalers at
steadily reducing prices, beginning at
cents, Kastern seaboard, aud drop
ping to 7-25 by the- end of the year
The latter figure is the seaboard price
previously fixed by agreement for
Cuban, Hawaiian and Western beet
sugar and the price the food admin
istration expects to maintain-.
Transportation Is Arranged.
With the refiners price of 8.35c, the
food administration announced tonight,
wholesalers in the Northwest should
sell at about 8.60c, with the- price de
creasing proportionately with reduc
tions by the refiners. This, it was said,
should mean, a pri.ee of 9 cents to the
consumer at once and of not more than
cents by the end ofi the year.
The transportation, division. o the
food administration, has already ar
ranged for sufficient ship-pijis to trans
port 100,000,000 pounds of the sugar
to the Fhiladelphia, Boston and New
York refineries. The first cargoes
leaving next week will go to New York.
War Profits Are Barred.
"With the wholesale market virtually
out of the way, th-e administration, now
is turning its attention to retailers and
is prepared to cut off the supplies of
those who insist upon, taking war
profits. Prices from the manufacturers
have been, fixed, all wholesalers will
come under license on November 1 and
the retailer now presents, the .only real
problem.
Both refiners and distributors are in
structed to withhold supplies from any
retailer who adds, an exorbitant profit.
To supplement this move, organizations
are being perfected through which
wholesale prices in all sections of each
htate will be furnished to the Federal
food administrator, who will make
them public locally and report to
V"ashingto?i with tUe names of any ex
orbitant prof it-takins retailers.
Candy Makers- to Co-operate.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. Co-opera-lion
of Pacific Coast candy manufac
turers with the food administration's
sugar conservation was pledged in a
telegram received today by the food
administration from W. R. Ayer, Fed
eral food administrator for Oregon.
Cuba Wants So Strikes.
HAVANA. Cuba, Oct. 24. President
Menocal issued a proclamation last
night warning all foreigners who in
stigate or encourage strikes in the
sugar-producing region that they will
be considered pernicious foreigners and
expelled from Cuba.

BY WILL G. 1AC RAE.
WITH THE 116TU JSNGIN'EERS,
Camp Greene, Charlotte, X. C. Oct.
20. (Special.) Portland folks have a
right to be proud of its'.First Separate
Battalion of Engineers, ftow the 116th.
Major Herbert A. Brandon and the of
ficers of the First Battalion have
worked wondrs with the- raw mate
rial they brought with them into the
service lat ' last Summer, a nd right
now it would defy the eyes of an offi
cer whose life had been spent in the
preparation of soldiers to tell ihe en
gineers from an organization thvt had
been drilling and doing soldier duty
for years.
Major Brandon's battalion was split
two ways after it had been mustetred
in at Clackamas, one unit going to
Palo Alto and the other to American
Lake. When both units were ordered
to Camp Greene the soldiers by this
time had the rough edges removed and
were ready to ge-t down to real sol
dier business. Without question the
Oregon engineers have the best parade
ground in camp. It is almost as level
as a billiard table, made so by the
hard work of the men of the organiza
tion. Drill 1Yln praise.
The drill grounJ is situated not over
300 -yards from division headquarters.
While on my way to visit camp 19
three Generals were grouped abMt on
the- roadway before division headquar
ters. The Oregon engineers were put
ting their usual snap in their drill.
After watching them for folly five min
utes, one of the Generals remarked:
''Splendid. I like to watch those fel
lows drill. Every day I can notice a
most marked improvement." Just now
the "Hardy Boys' are devotftig their
time to infantry drill, and durirtr their
spare time buying liberty bonds,. The
figures compiled for Major Bolle9 for
Tuesday showed the engineers Jiad
bought $51,750, showing that Oregon is
very much, on the map. even. in North.
Carolina.
When the War Department had
worked out the very good method for
soldiers to save a part of their pay.
Major Brandon, before a canvass of the
organization was made, sent to each
man a letter, which he called "The
Call for Loans." Before the letter was
sent out it was approved by General
Hervey and Colonel M. L. Walker, who
is in command of the 116th. Colonel
Walker is a descendant of Meriwether
Lewis, of Lewis and Clarke fame.
Appeal Sent Soldiers.
The letter is as follows:
The letter is as follows:
The troops at the front and.tbose shortly
to join them, mut have funds and yet more
fuuds. and the Coverora&iii'a f uniiamtntiul
reason, for appealing for such, fuudi. is due
to the fact tfta.t, without them, the war can
not be successfully waged ugint the most
relentless and unprincipled foe the world
has ever produced.
for obtaining food3, munitions and all the
manifold necessities required to vigorously
prosecute the war. money must be provided
in vast sums and promptly.
You meii of the West know how the "call
to arms" was answered by you, how the
appeal for the first loan was responded to.
how the Red Cross campaign was met. and
how the erwire situation when summed up
proved that, the .Northwest had given In
voluntary accord almost all its eligible
men, and that, without the suggestion of
draft. How the first liberty loan was over
subscribed and how the Red Crass funds
poured in, beyond the expectation, of the
most sanguine.
Following hard on the heels of the first
appeal for funds, comes another. This Is
evidence of what your country needs and
the unlimited fuiih it has iu your patriotism
and assistance.
Shall we permit ourselves to prove laggard
in the cause?
Such a situation is Inconceivable and not
to be contemplated, Kipling's description of
a "non-com." "who could drill a black man
white or make a dummy fight" is equally
applicable to you.
l"leaji Made for Subscriptions.
Tou possess the same spirit of determina
tion to complete what you have commenced,
and although you may not have to convert
black into white, as Kipling's Sergeant did.
yet you can aid In extracting liRht from
the darkness which now pervades the world,
and make- It bright and happy for those
to whom we are now lending our services,
not only by fighting, but by helping to fur
nish the means to fight.
1 1 surely is in a noble cause that your
sympathies are enlisted, and such being the
case, we must enter into it with a whole
heart, and a fixed determination.
No half measures will suffice, no stone
left unturned to insure victory ; for a na
tion that will In its madness forget all
the laws of civilization, and ignore the man
dates of the Cod we have been taught to
revere, and wantonly seek out and destroy
the mothers whose love and responsibility
never ceases, with their babes at their
breasts, will stop at nothing: in its fixed de
sire to rule the world with its tint of steel,
and its scientific brain, devoied to symbols
of slaughter.
On behalf of our Government, then, and
those we leave to keep the fires burning,
we must once more volunteer, and do so
without considering It a sacrifice.
As a Nation, we have been too prone to
Indulge In luxuries and overindulge in pleas
ures. Let us for the present abandon these
and deal only with necessities.
The harvest will be all the greater when
the time for garnering arrives.
Let us provide a nest egg for the future.
It will be to our benefit, and that of our
country whose flag is the emblem of free
dom. One dollar invested today, nln more from
our November pay, ten dollars from the
rolls of December, January, February and
March, will not be misled and yet provide
each participant with a ."i0 bond bearing
4 per cent interest, an investment that would
be hard to equal in any other way, when the
resources behind It aie considered, and the
cau for which it Is made, contemplated.
Bonds of higher denomination will be ob
tainable in the same ratio, and the pur
chase of them recommended to all who wish
to make provision for the future of them
selves or their dependents.
The "call for loans" is as significant as
th "call to arms," men, the a.?embly
sounds. It is for us to respond, remembering
that our country, with all Its latent and
growing military strength uks, not com
mantis.

NAVY TO MOVE ARMY
Transports Hereafter to Have
Military Command.
SPEED TO LESSEN DANGER
Efficiency in Movement of Vessels
Carrying Troops Through War
Zone Counted Matter of
First Importance.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. Bluejackets
will man and naval officers wiil com
mand .Army transports hereafter.
Officials believe this will insure more
efficient operation of the ships, par
ticularly in tiie war sone. where the
strain on a crew is greatest, and so
lessen the risk of destruction of ves
sels by submarines.
Decision to have the Navy operate
the transports, announced today, is be
lieved to have been hastened by the
sinking of the transport Antilles,
manned by civilians. It was pointed
out that the highly-trained and disci
plined naval force is far more effec
tive than a constantly changing civil
ian personnel. This is regarded as par
ticularly true of the fireroom force,
upon which a ship's speed largely de
pends. More Men Are Xreded.
The manning of the transports will
make necessary a large increase in the
naval personnel and the general board
i:i understood to have recommended
that Congress be asked in December to
authorize an additional B0. 000 men, 30,
00U for the permanent naval service
and 20,000 for the period of the war.
With the transports turned over .to

Thus was settled a question between
the Navy and (Shipping Board which
began with the decision to build and
commandeer merohant ships.
Speed lessens Danger.
In anticipation of today's agreement
the Navy has been training men espe
cially for the transport service and a
large force is understood to be avail?
able now. Others will be trained as
rapidly as possible, so that not only
all existing transports can be manned,
but also the new ones now building.
These latter have been especially de
signed and will be much faster than
the standard cargo vessels. They are
planned for a speed of at least 18 knots.
The high speed will furnish one pro
tection against submarines, but still
another will be supplied in the ships
themselves. They will be so construct
ed as to be safe against one torpedo.
