Exports Of Sugar to Nations Allies
Causes Scarcity Here.

Some sections of the United States
are temporarily short of sugar be-
cause the Nation is partially filling
the imperative needs of the allies
and is supplying sugar for its troops
in France. In 1917 the United States
has exported over Is times as much
as it had averaged in the three years
preceding the war
The worlds sugar crop for 1916
II was nearly 100000 tons less
than that of 1928. A greater
shortage, however, affects the Euro
pean allies because their own produc-
tion has been greatly cut, and prior
to the war Germany and Austria ex-
ported each year approximately L.
10000 tons. In prewar times Eng
land received 54 per cent of her total
sugar supply from the central pow
ers, which is now supplied from the
United States Sources.
While European allies are being
materially aided with sugar from the
United States, they are far from get

No News from the Soldier Means
That He Is All Right.
Although the failure to receive let
ters from men in the service is no,
pleasant to relatives and friends al
home the adage mo news is good
news" never was more true than al
present. The report of every casual
ty at home or abroad is Immediately
wired or cabled to officials at Wash
ington, being relayed from there
without loss Of time to the emergen-
cy address of the soldier or sailor
affected. 1t is also at once released
for publication in the newspapers.
No news of casualties has or will be
held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has
been urged, on the contrary, to keep
in touch with relatives and friends.
The froces in France have at their
disposal post cards giving general in
formation in regard to health and the
receipt of letters and parcels, which
may be dispatched without payment
of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors
reaches them promptly. Where the
regimental and company designation
of soldier Is not known it may be
secured by application to The Adju-
tant Generals Office, Washington D.
c. In one week 1874 letters with in
sufficient addresses were received at
this Office. On 1892 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, 1913 were returned to send
ers, 5S went to the dead-letter Office
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses might be
completed later.

Compressed Air Sends Missiles Into
German Trenches

Many Of the mortars employed to-
day on the allied fronts are of the
compressed-air type, using puff of
air or gas instead of powder to throw
the shell into German trenches.
Present-day trench warfare has
caused the pneumatic cannon idea to
be developed after it had been laid
aside for many years as impractical.
Aside from being silent and inexpen-
sive, the pneumatic mortar is readily
manipulated. 1t is used at ranges Of
from $50 to 1000 feet, and is said
to be exceedingly accurate.

ing the consequences that one false

the additional merit of having the two
principal feminine roles filled by June
Elvidge and Pima Nesbit, both actress

hold the sympathy of the audience

The story is of a man who leaves his
wife and little boy in order to protect"
another woman whom he really does
rot love. A child is the result of this
union and the little boy bears striking
resemblance to his half brother. When
the boys are grown to manhood this
resemblance causes the innocent broth
er to be convicted of train robbery
which the other has committed, but
the situation is saved by last-moment
confession in the court room.
The players are Carlyle Blackwell

Marie Osborne a. Princess.

All OF the smiles in Tears and
Smiles" at the Princess, are Contribut-
ed by Marie Osborne, while whatever
tears there are, are left to the adults
who live through rather tragic story
Of which Marie is the unconscious cen
ter. The plot has more serious action
than most of the Osborne films. but
her director has very wisely kept the
tragedy above her head so that she
meets it with sort OF puzzled indiffer-
ence as any normal child would in real
life. No attempt has been made to
give her the absurd airs OF an infant
tragedy queen and the result is that the
pathos of the story is emphasized all
the more by her childlike unconCern.
The story opens with Marie as the
ragged little daughter OF a working
woman who is abused by her drunken
husband. While her father Is in prison
and her mother in the hospital, Marie
is adopted by wealthy young couple
who give her such luxurious home
that her real mother cannot bear to
claim her and thus deprive her of the
wealth that she may inherit. Disguised
as a governess, the girl obtains posi-
ton as nurse to her own child and
when the convenient death of her hus.
band and suicide OF her mistress makes
the way clear, she becomes the wife OF
the master of the house to the delight
OF the irrepressible Marie.
The most amusing comedy touch is
in the acquisition of diminutive darky
who is Marie's devoted and admiring
slave and whom she DULLES affection
ately to their mutual delight. The
spontaneous fun of this pair is delight
fully droll and makes it seem almost
incredible that the children were pos.
ing before the camera instead Of being
snapped at play.

Drama and COMEDY at Nelson.

On today's Nelson program there are
two speedy dramas, either of which is
deserving of headline distinction.
True Boardman is perfectly at home in
the Stingaree picture THE Rustler's

A good cast interprets an appealing
love drama called "A Double Decep-

in the open western country and is well
supplied with outdoor views of unusual
interest.
