Success of Sugar Campaign

The following ntutement un the

what i not well begun in the next
six weekH will not he done -it a 11-
"The Biiccerts of this program rests
on the honor and co-operation of the
American people. What are they do
ing now? We hear of people goii.t
from Ktore to store, trying ;o double
their portion over and over. They
don't reallee they are trying to beat
the game. That is failure of the pro
gram.
" How was It In the wheat cam
paign ? J'coplo everywhere vieng
with one another In wal to play the
game. That was success.
"Our succeKM tho wheat campaign
literally held the allies gethcr
through the spring and summer It
did mure than any other thlnff to
give them comfort and courage until
the tide turned last month. It did
more t than any other performance of
ours to establish American credit un
til the splendid part of our troopi

"Again we are called upon to share
with thone who sit at the common ta
ble. It Is a challenge of war condi
tions to our humanity, our chivalry
and our worth. This time wo are re
quired not to employ a su'mtltnte
for necessary food, but to give up h
Indulgence.
"Shall we succeed? As yourselves,
would we do It if It was to sharv

of fttrleken neighlM.rs across the sea?
"We can if we will. We will if w
realise. Hut the time Is short. Th
background of the whest campaign
was six months building, but the
sugar campaign must be put through
In Ik weeks or fall It Is the sec
und large test of the twelve million
food administration membership.
They look to you; they trust ou. Uel
thr situation home to them and they
will play the game.
"We claim the rlnht to share with
the allies. Iet us give Mr. tfeiover. j
now sitting in the allied food coun-,
c it. fresh warrant to assure the na-j

WITH TUB AMKKICA.N AliMY IN
FltAN'CK, Aug. 17. Fighting along
tho Vesle yeyterday was the liveliest
for several days. The German night
bombardment continued for hour
with lots of gas. American airmen
bombed the Aisne bridges effectively.
Traffic across the Aisne In the jtaxt
few days has been much heavier than
usual, said observers. It consists
largely of ammunition 'trucks header!
south. This indicates the enemy Is
determined to hold his present lined
indefinitely. Great numbers of Ger
man bombing planes have been trying
to drop explosives on the Franco-Americans
along the Vesle where they
were driven off by anti-airscraftera.
Thi'v then slipped around batteries
visiting the back areas, repeatedly and
attacking places where they believed
troops were quart crort. There aim
was poor because it was still dark. An
American barrage destroyed man
machine gun nests on the edge of the
I'latean west of Fi.-mette. Thirteen
guns were destroyed and the crews
all killed.
