ELOQUENT, HEARTFELT TRIBUTE To WASHINGTON
BYWSCOUNT |SH||, JAPAN s SPECIAL AMBASSADOR
Beet Sugar Makers in
Agreement to Lower
Price to Consumers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-An agree
ment by the country's beet sugar pro-
ducers to limit the price Of their prod
uct so as to effect reduction of about
IL cents pound in the present price
of sugar was announced tonight by the
food administration with notice to
the public that this should mean a
saving Of s30,000 900 between now and
the first of next year. 1t also was an
nounced that the wholesale grocers
had agreed to limit the distribution
charges 10 prevent eXorbitant prices.
In the near future, the administra-
ton will state the price at which
wholesale sugar should be delivered
at large consuming centers. The beet
sugar price fixed Is the equivalent OF
$7.25 cane sugar basis fob. seaport
refining ports.
1T Is the intention Of the food ad-
ministration to adopt certain meas
ures which will effectually assure that
the price agreed upon shall not be
exceeded during the coming year even
upon imported sugar. and 1t is hoped
that as soon as the Cuban crop Is
availa Bile, the price will be less than
s725,," said the administration state
ment.
1t is desirable for the public to bear
in mind" the food administration
points out. that in order for the allies
to be supplied with sugar from the
West Indies in place Of their usual
source Of supply. which is now cut on.
the public must reduce its consump-
tion of sugar by every means possible.
That there is room for reduction In
consumption without hardship is .evi-
dent when we consider that the aver
age American consumption is about
IS pounds per person per annum,
whereas the new sugar regulations In
England limit the consumption to q
hounds per person per annum."

been awarded the contract for the con-
construction Of the biggest camp In the
country had carpenters on the scene
erecting buildings. and who have since
that time maintained their lead over all
other contractors in the country IN
rushing the cantonment to completion.
The army storehouses and many other
divisions Of the camp have been COM
pleted and the barracks will be ready
for the drafted men when they arrive.
$4,000 Mon Employed
Over 1900 men have been employed
at the camp for weeks. and to complete
the cantonment on time they have FOR
several days past been completing
buildings at the rate Of thirty day.
Many Of these buildings were long
company barracks which will accommo-

strength on the European basis Of ESQ
men to the company. Two Of the ten
hospital buildings are completely equip
ped and, have been in operation for sew
eral days where men injured while at
work have been treated by the army
surgeons. The other eight hospital
buildings. according to the contractors
will be completed within a few days.
OF the 1900 buildings planned for
about 900 are complete. AS work was
started on nearly all Of the buildings at
the same time the others will soon be
completed.
Most Of the unmarried officers sought
quarters at the camp Immediately after
their arrival. but those who were mar
ried are trying to secure acoonmoda-
tionS for their families in the city.
They are finding this extremely difficult.
Just little moro than two months ago
this city had population Of $4,000 and
this has been swelled within two
months to about $4,000.
In addition to the "a 900 men employ

are employed by the railroads and by
other developments made necessary

On both sides Of the river

French troops continue their gains
against ,th2 forces Of the German

having captured positions over a
front Of two and a half miles to
a depth OF two thirds Of mile,
taking the Fosses and Beaumont

OF the village Of Beaumont, and on
the left bank having driven their

The Germans, in counter-at-
tacks,. twice have endeavored to
retrieve lost ground on the
heights Of the Meuse, but each
time met with repulse and heavy
losses.
Aside from artillery duels, which
have been especially severe east
Of Ypres and in the neighborhood
OF Lombaertzyde. there has been
little activity~on that part of the
line in France and Belgium held
by the British. Field Marshal
Haig's men, have carried out sew
eral small trenches raiding enter
prlses with success and repulsed
German counter-attacks.
Evidently the German advance
toward Riga, Russia's big port and
naval base on the Baltic, has
ceased, for neither the German nor
Russian official communications
mention the operations In this re-
gion. To the south. however, the
Russian and Russo-Rumanian ar
mics. respectively, around Vlad1-
mir-Volynski and in the Rumanian
theatre, are keeping up their
strong resistance against the Ger
mans and the Austrians. Near
Vladlmir-Volynski, German at
tacks have been repulsed while
on the Rumanian front. attempts
by the Teutonic allies to advance
again have been frustrated.

JUST IN TINE

SYDNEY, N. S.. Aug. 2e.-
Donald 3. MacMillan's arctic ex-
pIoration expedition arrived here
tonight on tho Relief Steamer
Neptune after four years spent in
the Polar regions.
Macmillan, who was one Of Rear
Admiral Peary's lleutenants on
his successful dash for the North
Pole. confirmed previous despatch
es from him that there was no
crock.r Land, such as had been
reported by Peary.
Peary's mistake was due to
mirage SO real that the Macmii-
Ian party had been deceived by It
for four days, he said.
The first objective of the MacMil
Ian expedition which was organized
under the auspices of the American
Museum of Natural History and the
American Geographical Society, with
the cooperation Of the University OF
Illinois, was to prove or disprove the
existence Of Peary's Crocker Land
which has been prolific source oi
dispute among geographers and scien
lists. The next purpose Of the expedi
tion was to conduct a survey Of the
Greenland ice-cap.
Near Starvation.
While Macmillan did not deny that
he had made some discoveries, he was
reticent concerning them, saying he
was under orders to report to the
museum Of Natural History in New
York. He plans to leave Tuesday
tor his home in Freeport. Maine and
thence to New York.
The health Of the explorers was
good. as had been reported previous

The official communication on
the result of the battle shows that
the decentralization Of the Aus

extraordinary aerial and artillery
work Of the Italians. which has de-
stroyed not only the lines Of com:
munication, but has resulted in the
burning Of all the main food sup.

for the last week have been starv.
