CAN'T EXPLAIN IT
Topeka Wholesalers Baffled by
the Shortage of Sugar.
Three Big Concerns in Favor of
Government Control.

Three Topeka wholesale grocery
houses will welcome government su-
pervision of the food market and reg
ulation of prices, according to an
nouncement made today.
Government regulation of food sup
plies would be all right, especially if
it would reach those concerns or in
dividuals that are manipulating the
markets." said V. B. Kistler, of the
McCord-Kistler Grocery company.

ernment take a hand in this even to
a fixing of prices" said o. A. Fleming.
head of the grocery department of the
Lux Mercantile company.
"Any sort of reasonable government
regulation of food supplies would be a
good thing" said o. B. Cutler of the
Poehler Mercantile company.
The Sugar Situation.
The wholesale men describe the su-
gar situation as inexplicable from any
reasonable standpoint. The statistics
all indicate that the supplies should be
about ncrmal and yet the fact is that
two of the local wholesale houses on
Friday did not have a single sack of
sugar or hand. The other house was
entirely out of the cane, but was still
filling orders on beet sugar. They all
have plenty of sugar ordered, but
can't get it.
At present, it is impossible for the
thru the usual channels There has
been no established market price for
nearly week. Brokers are out of the
market. Local quotation on beet is

CAPTURE IMPORTANT POSITIONS
Boosted Hindenburg Line Is
Crumbling, Says Haig.
Score Greatest Advance of New
Spring Offensive.
(By the Associated Press.)

British assaults have broken four
miles more of the German front in an
important sector of the Arras battle
field. The Hindenburg line has been
riddled on its northern end; Lens is
fast being hemmed in and General
Haig's forces are sweeping back the
Germans from the Loos sector.
Correspondents report every indica-
ton of a continuation of the German
retirement. The Teutons are being
hard pressed and explosions and fires
are observed in their rear.
Great importance is attached to the
success of the British in the fighting
north of Vimy. They have carried
there several important positions
enabling General Haig to link up the
ground won in the engagements early
this week in the Arras region with the
position gained long ago in the costly
sulting in the development of Lens,
/ with its valuable coal fields.

Drys Urge Wilson to Close
Them as War Emergency.

Washington, April 14.-America's
big push" for food may wipe out her
breweries and distilleries.
Taking advantage of the threatened
food shortage thruout the world and
demands on the American farmers to
feed not only the United States. but
her allies, the ''drys'' in congress are
preparing to launch a spectacular
drive for war prohibition" Plans for
the effort have been completed and
will be announced early next week.
The purpose is to stop the manu-
facture of all liquors and beers in the
United States at least for the period
of the war, thereby diverting millions
of bushels of grain into food channels.
Feed Entire Nation n Month.
Those behind the movement declare
that more than 60O,OOO,O0O bushels of
grain would be saved by closing the
beer and whisky plants.
That's enough to feed twelve mil
lion people, DR.. Wiley, pure food ex-
pert said today.
Its sufficient to feed the whole
nation for a month"; said Senator
Sheppard, father of the national pro-
hibition amendment.
And besides they say thousands of
men now working in breweries and
distilleries would be released for work
at farming and other productive occu-
pations.

1t is given impetus by agricultural eX-
perts in the central part of the coun-

| food problem.
Breweries Overstocked With Grain.
| The movement has gained such mo-
mentum that distillers themselvse are
NAL king overtures to congress, offering
I to restrict their output so as to release
at least 100000 bushels of grain
annually for food.
| This offer, however, is scorned by
f. c. Dinwiddie, chairman of the leg
islative bureau of the anti-liquor
forces here. He says the distillers
and brewers today are overstocked
with grain and for business reasons
are willing to reduce their grain de-
mands fer the coming year.

war prohibition is inevitable. Forty

ture of alcoholic liquor"
Representative Howard believes
! President Wilson should not and will
not wait for congress to act on the
matter, but ''as a war measure" issue
a proclamation temporarily closing all
\ breweries, distilleries and saloons.
Meet Tremendous Opposition.
DRY conferences have been in
progress for the last week. There is
bound to be tremendous opposition to
any attempt to force thru dry meas
ures now under the guise of war
emergency measures. Army men say
! that SO far as the military csta blish-
ment is concerned there is no need
of any prohibition legislation now.

Chicago, April 14.-Oscar NJ. Heath.
a Chicago high school teacher has
been suspended on account of the is
suance of pamphlet which is said
to be an anti-war treatise. The teach
er attacks the policy of the American
government, states the war is for mer-
cenary gain and not for humanity or
liberty and that a league between the
newspapers and financiers is respon-
sible for the entrance of the United
States.
The suspended teacher said he was
having 1000 of the pamphlets printed
for issuance today and asserted he
would be at his place in the school
Monday and would fight the matter in
the courts if necessary to retain his
position.

TO AID RUSSIA
c. s. to Furnish Govt Counsel

Will Send Commission to Help
Develop Resources.

Washington. April 14.-Official con-
firmation that the United States is
considering sending a commission to
Russia to see in what way the country
can be of aid to the new government
was given today at the state depart
ment 1t was stated that the commits
sion would cover all phases of Russo
American cooperation in the war.
Mobilization of Russia's immense but
latent resources is one of the main
considerations. The United States, it
is felt, could give from its own ex-
perience highly valuable suggestions
for the coordination of Russia's pow
err
The administration wishes to do
everything in its power to aid the de-
mocratizing of Russia in the common
struggle against German autocracy. To
that end a large Russian credit prob
ably will be granted soon as con-
gress passes the war loan bill.

HITS "NEWS PIRATING"
Forbids Hearst Using Associated Press
Stories Before Publication

New York, April 14.-Formal order
was issued by Judge Hand in the fed
eral court today putting into effect an
injunction against Hearst's interna-
tional news service forbidding it to
pirate Associated Press dispatches
prior to publication.
on the plea of the Associated Press
to prevent Hearst from lifting" dis
patches after publication, the judge
said he was not sufficiently free from
doubt to issue an injunction. He
withheld action on the latter point
upon agreement of counsel for Hearst
to facilitate appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals.
Thereupen the Associated Press
filed appeal and the Hearst attorneys
Immediately appealed from the first
point on which the injunction was
issued. An effort will be made to
bring the appeal to trial in May
