SOLDIERS BUY MANY
LIBERTY BONDS WHILE

Several Million Dollars Have
Been Taken In the Train

(By J. W. Pegler)

American Field Headquarters, Oct.
20.--American Sammies are not only
going to edo their bit in the trenches
fighting the Huns-but they are set
ting an example for folks back home
in record breaking purchase of lib
erty bonds.
Several million dollars in subscrip-
tions were reported today. The exact
total is being withheld. The various
American expeditionary units are keen
ly competing for the honor of subscrib.
ing the greatest amount. Today the
heavy artillery claimed the top figure
with nearly 100000 pledged and sew
eral batteries still to be heard from.
In some infantry companies every
man and every officer subscribed ia
one or more bonds.

here somewhere in France,'' for two
weeks. The lists close next Tuesday
General Pershing himself inaugurated

his men to subscribe for patriotic rea.
sons. The drive got its first big i'm
petus when the idea of competition
among all the different units in the
American expeditionary force as to
which would pledge the biggest sub
seriptions was developed.

Short Market Session
Exhibited Strength Today

New York, Oct 2O.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Strength in the general list continued
in today's short session of the stock
market, but trading was relatively light
and particularly narrow in the rail
road department.
Fairly good buying in the steel group
and in a few individual issues was at
tributed to pool operations. The loss of
an American transport by submarine
did not seem to make any impression
whatever, a circumstance remarked up
on as showing Wall stret's recovery or
partial recovery at least from the re-
cent severe attack of nerves.

BOYCOTT CtANPED ON

Special Concessions Already

London, Oct. 20.--An educational
boycott" will be clapped down on Ger
many by the allies as soon as peace
comes. Several large educational insti-
tutions of England, it became known
today are already laying plans to com
pete actively with German universities
and to break their monopoly of educat-
ing students from America and other
parts of the world.
The main drive of the British insti-
tutions is directed toward diverting the
stream Of American students from the
Teuton schools into English schools.
Already certain concessions to Am
erican students are announced. Both Ok
ford and Cambridge are making changes
in their curriculum with view to at
tracing American scholars after the
war. Oxford has decided to grant the
Phi. D., degree, which has never before
been conferred, for the special benefit
of American cousins.
In the days before the war, thousands
of American students floeked to the
German universities. The astute Ger
man professors made it "the fashion"
to be educated in Teuton schools. Brit
ish scholastic authorities see shining
opportunity Immediately after the war
before hatred of Germany has cooled, to
capture that Grade"
Since America s entry into the war,
the interest of the man in the street
has increased wonderfully. Book stalls
are experiencing havy run on books
dealing with America.

HOOVER ATTEMPTS TO
CONSERVE SUPPLY OF
SUGAR IN COUNTRY
Orders Reduction in Sales to
COnfectiOners and LUX
ury" Manufacturers

Washington, Oct. 20.-Reduction in
sugar sales to confectioners and other
"luxury'' manufacturers, has been or
dered by the Hoover food administra-
tion, it was officially stated.
In view of the growing shortage of
sugar and soaring prices to the average
consumer, IL was made plain that if
necessary the government would not
hesitate to curtail all "luxury' uses
of sugar.
The Christmas candy business will
be hard hit by the order.
While the step announced today was
taken with the hope that a complete
shutdown on candy making will not be-
come necessary, this will be inevitable
if the incoming beet sugar crop docs
not solve the shortage. The food ad-
ministration stated that the later. crop
should enable candy makers who may
have to shut down now, to resume op-
erations within few weeks.
The administration IS order viii be
put into effect Immediately through
state food controllers and local com
mittees, as well as refiners.
Soft drinks are classed by Hoover
WIFI cdHtly dS luxury. bakery cake Is
not but the usual frosting on it will
have to be eliminated in the future.
Forty-five per cent of the sugar used
, in this country goes into Injuries, the
food administration estimated.
Appeals for economy in sugar con-
sumption having failed to relieve the
shortage, todays' order was decided up
on by Herbert Hoover.
Candy consumption has increased en-
ormously in the United States recently
rise in the price of The confections.
The increase was reported to be par
ticuIarly noticeable in prohibition ter
! ritory and around the army canton
ments.
Thousands of workers in candy fac
tories are expected to be out of en-
ployment temporarily. Manufacturers
anticipated the administration Is order
will have this result as weH as clos
ing up retail candy scores. Some candy
makers do not anticipate any relief
from the new beet sugar crop before
December, barely in time for part of
, the Christmas candy season.
The food administration is prepar-
ing a series of sugar conservation ap-
peals to the public. The housewife faces
