,-!! MEDFOTIT) MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD,'-OREGON. SATURDAY. AlWST. HI, 1fl18 PAGE THREE USE OF SUGAR IS (Ry Milton Hronner.) ! WASHINGTON, A ujr. 3.1. Whv j has Herbert C. Hoover taken so much of the sweetness out of the lives of ! the American people? ' Answer: So Hint he run put more ' sweetness into the lives of the Amcr i ieun troops, the ullied nrmie and the allied peoples. The world is tudnv rr.viiijr for sn pnr. The German sources of supply, ! which used to he self-sustaining, nro i now badly eripiled. The Kast Indies source is cut off because of the lack of shipping. . Sugar can come only from Tinted States, Cuba and Hawaiian Islands. We used to consume all that sujjar ourselves. In the old days we used to cat up 8,218,.ri82,000 pounds per year. Too Ultle for Allies Supir is a necessary part of the human diet. Since the war bcgiui we have been eating too much anil : the nliles too liltle. Italy gat down to 9 pounds per person per year and Franco to V.i. ! If our people will snv one-third J of what they used to consume, it is j hoped by the food administration to ; give Kneland and France 20 pounds I and Italy 12 pounds per person per annum. ' And whSt is pcrhnps more import I ant if Ave save, there will be ample ' snfrar for the American, British, French, Italian and Belgian armies, The only way to get this sugar is to save it. I Asks All to Bnvo The food administration won't go into every American kitchen to find whether he is only usinir two pounds i of sugar per month, but there is n j check in another way. Sugar is ul ! located each month to each state ac cording to population. For a state with "100,0110 inhabitants 1,000,000 ponds is allowed. Kvery person wtio dishonestly and nnpatriotically uses more than the alloted two pounds of sugar, robs some other person of his Rngar nllownncc just as surely as if he entered the others pantry and ; enrired away the sugar bowl. i The world's sugar situation is best issnltrated by a comparison of the wholesale prices per 100 pounds for sugnr in the great cities: New York, ;7:30; Montreal, .$8.07; I'nris, ' $12.28; London, .$12.39; Home. . $2(1.30. jWOLVES OF RAIL ' AT PAGE SUNDAY The story of "Wolves of the Hail," an Artcraft picture starring William S. Hart, the Thus. II. Incc star, which will be the attraction at the l'ngc theater Next Sunday and Monday, hns the broad western country for its setting. Hart is first seen as "Buck" An drade, n daring highwayman, whose gang is feared and dreaded by the officials of a western railroad. "Buck's" conversion is effected at the bedside of his dying mother, and he gives to his tii'-k of reformation all the energy, vitality and thorough ness that characterize his career as 'n hold-up and all-around had man. "Buck" becomes a staunch supporter of law and order, a loyal protector of the railroad company's property, and n safe guardian of government money though he has to fig hthis former gang to do so. Of course there's a girl in the case Faith I.awson, the operator in the railroad tower at Smoky Oap, and the awakening of Andrailes new character and his steadfastness of purpose are partly the result of his love for her. j On the same hill Frank Marolda in a strictly high class vaudeville net. j Regular prices will be charged, WARM WEATHER FOR FIRST PART OF WEEK WASHINGTON.

(Reuter'B) Be tween the Atlette and the Atsne and far to the southeastward along, the line of the Yesle tho baltlofield is one vast panorama of fire. Here at the moment the Germans are offer ing tho most desperate resistance, since the Issue In this sector has a graver strategic bearing than any whero else along the whole front. With General Mangln's men al ready across the Ailctte on cither side of the village of Champs, tho enemy's hold on Coucy-Le-Chatenu Is threatened. Coucy-Le-Chatenu Is highly Important to the Germans as a distributing center of troops falling back from Noyon and those fighting stoutly o.i the left bank of the Ailette.

YVhen asked if he had believed that charge he answered: "One does not make a great nation out of men like that." LONDON', Aug. 31. The crown prince of Germany is "in bad" again Naturally this thne It is the trounc ing ho got at tho Marne that has caused the quarrel, in which, accord ing to the Essen newspaper, Tages zcitung, tho 'kaiser took part. Hore's the account this paper gives ot the scrap: At a council of war held in the presence of the kaiser, the crown prince was severely criticized by Lu dendorff, who angrily put forth something resembling a demand that Willie 'be relieved of his command. The kaiser conceded that Laden- dorff had some reason for his anger, hut that "dynastic considerations must prevail over purely military considerations." LONDON LAIESS LONDON", A dr. 31.

Tho Germans are learning that It doesn't pay to be savages when they're fighting Amer icans. . Hecauso they are finding out that ir they Insist on bolng barbarians, the Americans will treat them us bar barians. The fame of "The Amorlcnn way" as this unannounced but very-much-ln-forco policy is called Is spreading. English, French and Italian news papers aro talking about It. and you hear it discussed everywhere. To put what these papers call "Tho American way" in a Yankee's own lingo, It means "tho (Germans can't get away with that Hull stuff with us!" Here are two lnslnnces of how "tho American way" works: No. 1 A German machine gun nest was hidden In a ruined church at Sergy, in the Marno battle, and the Red Cross flag flow from the steoplo. The Americans respected tho Hag. Thoy advanced In tho open until they got up close. Then the Huns' mnehine guns mowed thorn down. Tho Gormans (here's where "the American way" tomes in) paid for that trick so dearly (hat it hasn't been tried since. No. 2 Near Sergy also, Americans were advancing on a nest of machine guns which kept popperlng away un til tho Americans got within about '200 yards. Then the Gormuns inado surrender signs and the Amorlcans coolly came on, to tako their prison ers. Close up tho treacherous Gor mans opened fire. They paid. This does not mean that the Amer icans are not clean fighters. Hut they nron't "soft." The ' Gormans can't use treachory and savagery and onjoy Immunity. Thoy pay for every trick. ' Remarking on how cleanly the American fights, the London Kvcn 1ng Staadard adds: "Hut he Is a dan- gerous person to play 'monkey tricks with, and when ho, gels 'real peeved' tho other party Is In for an uncom fortable time. Tho Americans have fought savages, before." English, Frciicji and Italian papers all appear to Man ''tho Amorlcnn way. ' Franco meets doUborato In frlngcmonts ot, tho rules of war In much the same, spirit. Uuttho llrit- lish papers say the llrltlsh soldiers do not, and they want "tho Amorlcnn way" adopted without delay. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aim. 31 Thu (ionnans havo completed an Im- tuonse bargain with pro-Cerman Itus Klann of Coiirlund Tor u tlioro and profitable (Jermun colonization of Iho country. In tho summer of 111.1, when Ger man armies Invaded Courlund, the largo lu n (low mint agreed to surren der to Germany one-third of their properties us tho prleo of their "lib eration," The Germans havo now made good their Itarnuln, iiKreciiiK to pay pre-war prices for the land. Kvery estate-owner hi Courland who owns nioio than MM) ucros Is obliged to sell one-third of his land to a ijocullcd "('our)and Laud Com pany." The German authoiille.i will settle on the laud either German sub jects of their own choosing or Ger mans who wero former residents of Courland. Inspired articles In tho German press represent that what remains of Courland will profit so much by the Hun colonization that the concealed annexation Is a posltlvo gift. TWO MILLION WORKERS .
