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.

BATTLEFIELD VAST i
E
WITH THE AMERICAN' ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 31. (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.
From the crest of the plateau
north of Soissons shells can be seen
bursting against the German lines.
American troops in the center arc
still fighting to clear the difficult e
tanglomcnts of ravines before them.
Thero has been no close fighting In
theso volleys as yet.
A philosophic wounded prisoner
was encountered today in Ahe road
near the battlefield. He saru:
"They told me that the Americans
murdered their prisoners."
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."

IS PAID IN FULL
LONDON", Aug. 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.

In tho summer of 111.1, when Ger
