The Sugar Shortage.

Nothing which could have happened
has forced home upon Americans the
truth of stories which have been pub
lished as to the need of conserving our
food supplies and preventing waste as
the shortage in sugar has done. The
housewife who has tried to buy sugar
in the local market and failed to obtain
1t now knows that there has been no
"camouflage" about the seriousness OF
the food situation. She will not need
to be preached to by special agents nor
appealed to by public speakers to save
sugar in the future. Having been de-
prived of it for little time the house
wife will not waste the sugar which she
will finally obtain. Not only will she
save sugar, but she will now try to save
everything else. She now knows that
the plea to save -four that our soldiers
and our allies may have it is no idle
plea. She believes that there is some
thing in the claim that flood will win
the war; and every American house
wife will do her best to prevent waste
and save all the food she can. So far as
this particular campaign is concerned II
has already been won. From now out
America will continue to save tons and
tons of sugar, wheat, meat and other
food material. This Is one good effect
the sugar shortage has had.-Portland
Press.

Here and There.

One ray of cheer in the war news ID
the story of sinkings by U-boats, which
last week reached the minimum since
the campaign of piracy began, only si1
British vessels being sunk during the
week, and most of them small ones. II
is not piece of American brsg TO point
out that the beginning of the reduction
in the U.boat toll was practically CO.
incident with the entry of portion OF
the United States navy into the fight
against them. At any rate, such is the
fact. Doubtless it would be unfair to
attribute the improvement all to the
work of the American destroyers, but il
has unquestionably counted.
