CONSERVATION OF
 SUGAR |S URGED
 BY ADMINISTRATION
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-Reduced consumption of sugar was asked of the American people today by the food ad minlstration that a threatened short age in the allied countries may bG averted. Lack of ships to move the Cuban and Hawaiian crops promptly, it is declared, makes it necessary that this country share it's sugar supply with Europe
 The conservation asked of the American people," tho administration s statement says, does not necessarily demand great sacrifices. 1t only needs the elimination of waste and the care ful use of sugar to enable America to make up the difference required by ohe needs or the allies. gEIs
 Tt Is not actuaTy 6 lack of sugar that emphasizes the need for it's con servation in the United States so much as inability to get the sugar to the places where needed The world short age is comparatively small and is con- fined to Europe. With the stocks on hand in this country and in Cuba and those now coming from Hawaii. it would appear that with proper man. agement and with speculation and hoarding eliminated, srere need be no scarcity, even in the immediate future while awaiting the new crop"
 The worlds sugar supply is estimat- ed this year at 1S,659,792 tons against an average production of 1S712,997. American consumption for the first half of the present year was slightly larger than last year, which the food administration attributes to hoarding within the household.
 The Cuban crop this year was up to normal, as were the Hawaiian, Philip pine and Java fields These supplies, however, can be moved but slowly be- cause of the absence of ships. Both the American cane and beet crops will be larger than normal

German Effort Vain

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, Sunday, Sept. 2.-(By the Associated Press. )-All day today the Germans tried vainly to dislodge the French from the positions at Hurte- bise captured on Friday night but their efforts resulted only in increasing their heavy casualty lists. The French, who displayed such dash in their successful attack on this strong point, proved themselves equally the masters in it's defense. They submit ted to the most vigorous bombardment while consolidating their gains and re- main unshaken in morale by the thousands of shells which are continu- ing tonight to fall on the conquered terrain.
 During the operations 200 Germans were captured, including seven off, cers. Eight machine guns also were taken. The prisoners declare the French artillery preparation reduced the effectives of the German compan- ies holding the front lines to forty men each.
 The French now occupy the north ern edge of the Hurtebise plateau and hold all the observation points.
 The French infantry engaged in the victorious attack advanced with ire sistible dash. The airmen particularly distinguished themselves in this opera tion, descending low enough to fight the German infantry with machine guns and also Wiping out all the gun ners of one of the German batteries.

HERE'S A LOYAL GERMAN.

Itta Bena, Miss, June 12-Despite
the fact that John Obergfell was born
and rearedsi in Nuremberg, in South
Germany, he is an enthusiastic Amer
lean, patriotic and a loyal citizen.
About 40 years ago he left his father
land and came here, where he has
been ever since.
Recently, with the aid of his excel
lent wife, both were hosts to some 30
or more invited guests, some coming
from different parts of the state. The
occasion was a dinner which has not
been excelled since the old patriarch
of biblical times slew the fatted calf
and Toasted his community over the re-
turn of the prodigal son. Rev. w. S.
Shipman and w. H. Rucker delivered
inter esting addresses. A very pretty
American flag was raised on the occa-
sion to the top of a 60-foot pole. In
the center of the large dining table
we're nasturtiums, sweet peas and a
red, white and blue cake. The nap
kins were also red, white and blue,
and the interior of the home was pref
lily decorated with national colors.
