Danielson, so the relief will cover about half of the period that must elapse before the new Cuban crop be- comes availab ab1e.
 This will be pleasant news to Daniel son people who have been hard hit to get sugar for the past three weeks. Sugar has brought as high as 20 cents pound here, and there has been much wailing and complaining; but even at that extraordinary price it may be stated as a positive fact that some of the 20 cent sugar has been sold at a loss. With some retailers it has been a policy to get sugar at any price to supply the trade and charges that retailers have been exacting ex orbitant profits are unfounded One retailer has paid as high xs 25 cents pound for small supply to deal out to his customers.
 A certified check has been forward ed to insure prompt delivery of this so-called allotment of neutral sugar. in ,Danielson and it is expected to ar rive early next week. It will be dis tributed with equal fairness to all.'

SUGAR

The Federal Government has taken over a large amount of sugar that was awaiting shipment to foreign nations. This sugar is to be distributed approximately among seven of the eastern and middle states. Danielson has been awarded one hundred bags, five tons which is far in excess of the average allowed per capita to most other places. This sugar will be sent to A. H. Huntingdon with the special request that he will not ask over specified amount for it, consequently he will distribute this, sugar under the following conditions: Five pounds to a customer, except hotels and restaurants. No person so far as we can prevent it will re ceive but five pounds a week, the price will be ten cents pound. Iwish to state that al- though we have this amount of sugar the situation still re- mains in a critical condition, and while this amount of sugar, with strict conservation will last Danielson for four weeks, it will be all of eight or ten weeks before the new crop from Cuba will be avail able.

Et Paso, Tex.-Since the pro-allN

sentiment fayorlng the allies has
reached northern Mexico, and during
the last thirty days welI-defined

Germany and the alignment of Mexico
on the side of the entente allies has
developed. This has been in spite of
the pro-German sentiment published
daily in Chihuahua City and In papers
believed to Be subsidized by the Ger
nuns In the north.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement by Cen
eral Francisco Gonzales, acting COM
mander in chief of the northeastern
military zone, with headquarters at
chihuahua. He was overcharged by,
the German firm of Ketelsen & Dege-

Neutrality-suspicious. complete and eff.

secret service agents with those of

great problem that must be met in
stamping out the spy evil.
| While 1t was stated Thursday that

Justices departments are cooperating
with good results in running down ac-
tive alien enemies, it was strongly in
dicated that much remained to be ac-
complished in relationships with the
services of foreign countries.
The machinery of the departments,
built up almost entirely for the hand
ling OF domestic problems, was sudden
ly required to shoulder the immediate
burden Of coping with thousands of
plotters and spies. The recovery of
the system from the first shock, Of
hcials declare, was excellent. Visiting
missions have expressed surprise and
at the progress made.
Many schemes set on foot by enemy
plotters have been thwarted, and it is
said that the archives of the depart

which would, if made known, be of !
startling nature.
