CONGRESS LIKELY
TO PROBE SUGAR
SHORTAGE IN EAST

Sugar shortage in Washington and
throughout the East will probably be
the subject OF a Congressional in
vestigation OF the entire question of
cugar production and importation.
Members OF the Louisiana deleEa-
tion in Congress, who represent the
only cane producing territory in the
United States, are prepared to take
the initiative for such an investgA-
tion, with the support OF the beet
sugar men from the West.
Specific legislation for the control
OF sugar Importation and distribu-
ton may be forced upon the present
Congress. The inquiry may bring to
the fore again the old issue of the
drawback on sugar. which covers re-
bate of customs duties on sugar
brought in raw and re-exported as q
finished or manufactured product.
This would open up the hght on the
sugar duty under the Underwood
tariff act.

BAKERS BREAD
f.. PRICE MAY HALT
!. SALE BY GROCERS

With washington bakers going I'M
der license next Monday Washington
s. threatened with a serious situation
affecting its bread supply.
Grocerymen all over the city say
they will stop handling bread unless
they are allowed a 2-cent margin In
stead OF the 1-cent margin that has
resulted from q lowering Of the price
by the big bakers.
These dealers declare that they lose
money handling, wrapping, and de-
livering bread on a margin Of cent
a loaf. This cent they declare will
lust about cover the cost of wrapping
paper that has increased several hun
dred per cent in price in the last
year.
These grocers. most OF them in the
northwest section of apartment houses
where little home baking is done,
handle a heavy percentage OF bread
business.
A cheaper loaf to the cash and
carry customers is advocated by the
Food Administration, but the grocery
men say they can not make dis
tinction in price between their cash
and carry customers, and the delivery
and credit customers without losing
their business.
Several days ago q big bakery
that delivers to the homes antici-
pated the effective date of the Fed
eral license and announced a pound
loaf at s cents. Other big bakeries
dxed their price at cents to the
groceryman, the loaf to sell at 8
cents to the consumer. The grocery
men began TO complain. Yesterday
they were notified by a big bakery
that the price OF the Vienna loaf to
them would increase to cents.
They don't know why the distinction
IS made and do not want to face the
possibility Of being charged with lack
of cooperation by the food admins
tration in making the resale price 10
cents on this bread

DAMTZES TO AID

No more theater parties. candy, or
fine clothes for the army OF pretty
girls at the National School of Do

Sammies are enduring SO many hard
ships.
This the pledge made today to Miss
Helen Hughes, daughter OF Charles

well known in Washington, is tour

Joined the ranks of numerous college
students, from whom Miss Hughes
has exacted similar pledges. Vassar,
Holyoke, and Harvard students are
among them.
Urges Sacrifices.
Sacrifice until it hurts" pleaded
Miss Hughes. "But that isn't much
to do. You can't conceive of the
amount of work done by French
girls. They run the munition fac
tories In night shifts. They sleep in
all their clothes, because they haven't
any coal. A friend OF mine told of
a French girl who kept three canaries
in her room to make IL bright ana
CHEEKY, and when she returned home
each evening she found the little
birds numb"
Miss Hughes appealed to the girls
to contribute their quota to the
81 100000 fund for prisoners. The
money is used for prisoners welfare
work.
There are millions OF prisoners be-
hind the firing line. What do you
think they are doing? They are study
ing. They want to study worse than
anything else, and they are crazy
about music. They make musical in
struments out OF bones, wires, or any
t:ing imaginable. Some even read,
the dictionary every day"
Describes War Conditions.
Miss Hughes explained that through
the arrangements of the Y. II. C. A.
the soldier-prisoners are given aca-
demic courses by professors, and are
awarded degrees.
She described war. conditions in
European countries, stating that a
ton of coal In France costs $50, an
orange in Russia costs 81, and an
apple costs 80 cents.

j. S. DESTROYERS
SOON TO OPERATE
. IN MEDITERRANEAN

American destroysrs soon will be
operating in the Mediterranean. A
high naval official made this admis-
sion today when he said: United
States destroyers are or soon will be
everywhere that enemy submarines
are at work"
The announcement from Paris that
a supreme inter-allied naval council
is to be formed TO secure unity OF ac-
tion among the enemies of Germany
on the sea was fully confirmed at the
Navy Department today, although the
statement was characterized as
''somewhat premature"
THE matter Of securing the fullest
cooperation and most effective united
action by the navies engaged in the
war against Germany is now being
worked out" said Secretary Daniels.
Farther than that he would not go.
Sims May BE Appointed.
1t was made evident, however. that
Admiral Benson would not be the
American representative on the inter-
allied naval council. Admiral Benson
can be much more valuable at home
than abroad, now that he has OBJ
tanned the French. British and Italian
viewpoints Of the wars naval opera
tions.
The American representative in all
probability will be Admiral Si8ls, who
is in command of the American forces
in European waters.
From time to time Admiral Benson
may be sent on naval missions to vari-
Gus countries, IL was said, but he
will remain in this country most OF
the time in active charge OF the Bu-
reau OF Operations.
The fact that American representa-
tiyes will have place on the interallied
naval committee will insure a more
aggressive naval policy during the
remainder OF the war. naval officers
said today. All but a few OF the
high officers Of the American navy
favor the most vigorous warfare pos
sible upon the seas.
Program Being Speeded.
Meanwhile the destroyer building
program is being carried out in this
country with greatest speed. Destroy
ers are being given preference over the
building OF merchant shipping on or
der OF the shipping board Labor diff
hculties in the ship building yards have
practically disappeared.
In the navy's ship building plants
there are few Jugo-Slavs or Austrians
who will have to be removed after war
Is declared on Austria There are con-
siderable numbers in private yards,
however. and It was feared in some
quarters today that until they are re-
placed there may be some delay TO the
naval and merchant programs.
