 trust official tesufying at the New York food inquiry, told how shpload of sugar had crossed the Atlantic three times It was first sent from New York to Liverpool about the time the war broke out Then, as sugar quotations in America IL was rushed back to New York By that time the SUI gar men decided that the European market could af ford shll higher profits the cargo was hurried to England again.
 The manoeuvres of that ship were not determined by any actual shortage in America, but by a purely theoretical and speculative shortage abroad It rushed back and forth the ocean in response to tie manipulations of the market from America headquar ers Doubtless the economic situation had something to do ~ith it.

Christmas dinners will be provided
by the Salvation Army for 1000 poor

being raised. Mayor George Ainslie
has given a permit FOR the workers TO

energies to relieving the. suffering
but Miss Eva Booth during her recent
visit here advised Adjutant Elmer
Johnson and other local members that
II would be better to continue as here
toforc. especially in view of the fact
that SO many men anc women were out
of employment.
In addition to the dinners, the army
is planning to make 1000 children hap
