WAR FRONTS ARE QUIET
Teuton Efforts to Regain What They
Lost Near Ypres Driven Back

In none of the battle areas of
Europe has there been any marked
activity in the past "a hours. A
momentary lull appears to have set
tied upon the fighting operations in
FLANDERS, on the Aisne and at Verdun,
in the Riga region and along the
Isonzo. Crown Prince Rupprecht
of Bavaria, finding his efforts to dis
lodge the British from their recent
gains in the Ypres salient Intellectual
has ceased his infantry attacks and
resorted to his artillery. The British
are resting after their effort OF
Thursday, having gained all but a few
minor posts of the detectives de-
sired and having taken 3243 prison
ers, but their big guns still hammer
the German positions and their avia-
tors still harass the airdomes, dumps,
cantonments and other military
points behind the German lines.
Northeast of Gouzeaucourt, between
Arras and st. Quentin, the British car
ried out successful raid into the
German trenches.
On the rest of the western front
the French and Germans have been
content to lombard each other. The
artillery activity is reported violent
along the Aisne front and northwest
of verdun in the region of Hill 3O4
Berlin reports accommodating en-
gagements on this portion of the
front, but no action of moment.
Having captured the Jacobstadt
bridgehead. south of Riga, and
forced the Russians to retire TO the

USE LESS SUGAR
Hoover Asks That We Use Less
Sweet to HELP France.

HooVer ASKS mat we Use Less
Sweet to Help France.
Washington, Sept 2i.-Food Ad.
ministrator Hoover appealed to the
American people last night to reduce
their consumption of sweets to leave
a share for their French allies, who
are facing the prospect of two months
entirely without sugar. I'VE have re-
ceiyed request from the French
government" Mr.. Hoover said, that
we allow them to export from the
United States 100000 tons of sugar
during the next month and probably
more at later period.
Our own situation is that we have
just sufficient sugar to maintain our
normal consumption until the first OF
January, when the new West Indian
crop becomes available to all. "Our
consumption is at the rate Of 80
pounds per person per year--a little
under four ounces per day per person
THE French people are on ration
OF sugar equal to only q pounds per
annum per person-or at the rate of
less than one single ounce per day per
persona little more than the weight
Of silver dollar each day The Eng.
lish and Italian rations are also not
over one ounce per day The French
people will be entirely without sugar
for over two months II we refuse to
part with enough form our stocks to
keep them supplied with even this
small allowance, as It is not available
from any other quarter.
Sugar even to greater amount
than the French ration is human
necessity. II our people will reduce
by one-third their purchases and con
sumption of candy and OF sugar for
other uses than preserving fruit,
which we do not wish to interfere
with, we can save the French situa
tion.
I'm the interest of the French
people. and of the loyalty we owe
them to divide our food in the main
tenance of our common cause, ash
the American people to do this. 1t is
unthinkable that we refuse their re
quest"

MAY HURRY NATURALIZATION
over Half a Million Aliens May Be
come Citizens in Three Months.

SN'hS OfNi~S'o ~ ~ ''S'N'Ss
Washington, Sept. 24.-More than
100000 aliens who have signified their
intention Of becoming American citi-
zens would be naturalized in three
months under the terms of bill in
troduoed by Senator Calder Of New
York
Statistics compiled by the bureau
of naturalization made public today
show that between January 1, 1915,
and June 30. 1917, 626,616 aliens de-
clared their intention of becoming
citizens, but under the law a declar-
ant cannot act upon his intention un-
til the declaration is at least two
years old
Under the alien draft bill, now
pending in Congress, these aliens
would be liable for military service
thus relieving great numbers of
Americans, particularly in cities hav'
ing large foreign population. The
bureau estimates that about 100000
sof the aliens are Of military age. The
bill also would naturalize foreigners
who have enlisted in the military ser.
vice of the United States.
