Orders That Less Sugar

FORCED TO CLOSE
Order Hits Christmas Can
dy Business Hard; Many
Workers Let Out.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The food
administration has ordered that less
sugar be sold to confectioners and
other luxury manufacturers. The ad-
mnistration will not hesitate to cur
tall all luxury uses of sugar and
many candy factories will be forced
to close. II is estimated that As per
cent of sugar is used in luxuries.
The order hits the Christmas can
dy business hard. The food admins
tration acted with the hope that a
complete shutdown of candy making
would not be necessary. but this will
be inevitable II the incoming beet su-
gar crop doesn't solve the shortage.
The administration stated the beet
crop should enable candy makers,
who may be forced to close temporar-
lily, to resume operations within few
weeks. The administrations order
will be put into effect Immediately
through state food controllers and To-
5oal committees. Today's order fol-
lowed fFuitless appeals for economy
in the use of sugar. Thousands of
candy workers are expected to be un
employed temporarily. Manufactur-
ers, anticipated the Administration
order will have this result. as well as
closing hundreds OF candy stores. The
housewife may face short period OF
sugar famine.
The following Telegram was sent
all sugar distributing agencies; 1--WE
consider 1t essential to reduce consist
entity the sales of sugar for the pro-
duction of candy. II must be reduced
in order to provide household and al
lied needs.
This request applies to manufac-
turers of gums. cordials, syrups and /
luxurles. The manufacturers of food I
products should have the preference.

two British destroyers were
sunk in a battle between the
Shetland Islands and Nor
way coast, the admiralty an
Inounced. The destroyers
formed an anti submarine
escort. Two very fast and
heavily armed German raid
ers were engaged by the de-
stroyers the admiralty stat
ed. Fighting against heavy
odds, the British held the
Germans at bay until the
three merchantmen in con-
voy had escaped.
Neither of the destrOyers
are listed in the latest naval
annual, and are therefore
believed to have been built
since the beginning of the
war.
Five Norwegian and three
unar1ned merchant
men were sunk in addition to
the destroyers.
The merchantmen were
destroyed without examina-
ton of their carg0es and
without regard for the lives
Of the passengers or crew.
The raiders were evidently
anxious to escape before
other British forces inter-
fered.
