Dealing Out Sugar

Frank {. Lowry, chairman Of the dis
tribution committee OF the American
ReGuers' Committee. said that sixty
trucks started out Thursday morning to
deliver sugar 20 manufacturers and
grcccrs. lie said Che distribution
would be finished early next week. The
supply he said. would last only a few
days iu the market and would give NO
permanent relief.
But everybody will get his share,
said Mr.. Lowry when woman IN
Brooklyn calls up her sister IN Harlem
and hears there is plenty Of sugar
there, although her own grocer has
none, she must not get excited. We
may have given Harlem its war portion
during the day. and ON the day follow
ing Brooklyn will get its share, and
Harlem groceries may be sugarless.'
How much are the candy manufGct-
urers receiving?' Mr.. Lowry was asked.
ION November IS Henry HoJde ana
Loft received 300 bags each Mr..
Lowry said. "Huyler's and the Mirror
company received 100 bags apiece, and
Page & Shaw fifty bags. They received
equal amounts yesterday. These man
Ufacturers can. get no sugar anywhere
except through the distributing com
mittee, which is made up of sales man
ayers of all the Tefineries. Each sales
manager knows from day to day eX-
actly where the sugar from all the re-
fineries goes. There is little or no
cheating, because self-interest prevents
it. If a big manufacturer bought up
the stock of a small wholesaler at ad-
yanced prices we'd find it out, because
the wholesalers customers would COM
plain that they were not getting sugar
and would boycott the cheating whole
saler.'

Henry Heide. jr., said that Mr.. Lowry
was mistaken in saving that his candy
factory received 800 bags on Thursday.
He said he had sent check for 300
bags. and received only 200 The nor
NAL consumption OF his factory at this
time of year, he said, was from 250 to
300 barrels, Of 325 pounds each, day.
The distributing committee, he said. al
lowed him fifty barrels every now and
then. All other manufacturers were IN
the same boat. Mr.. Heidc declared.

ECONOMIC SITUATION
IN GERMANY IS ACUTE
Minister to Switzerland Believes
Backbone of German Resistance
Has Been Broken.

After three years spent in the cen
ter of Europe's colossal struggle,
Pleasant A. Stovall, United States
minister to Switzerland, declared on
his arrival at an Atlantic port Friday
that the economic situation in Ger
many is acute an dthat he believed the
backbone of German resistance has
been broken.
Since the publication of President
Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's
peace proposals in which the Presi-
dent stated that the United States is
warning upon the German govern
ment, and not upon the German peo-
pie, the revulsion against the war,
Mr.. Stovall said, has been spreading
rapidly through Germany.
s'The effect of this statement was
for a long time not noticeable" he
asserted, "but slowly and surely it
is sinking deeper and deeper into the
German heart. If left to themselves
the German people would make peace
tomorrow. AS it is, forces are at
work in Germany which will eventu-
ally-no man can safely predict how
soon-compel the German govern
ment to make peace with the world
"There is no doubt about the eco
nonic straits in which Germany now
finds itself. The situation is acute =

431, ,180 MEN IN CAMP
Shipment of Clothing to Camps IS
Keeping Pace With Arrival Of
New Troops.

The number Of men of Americas
new national army either actually un-
der training or ordered to the sixteen
cantonments throughout the country
totals 431, 1,180
In making public these figures
Thursday Secretary Baker said the
shipments. of clothing to the camps is

new troops. Up to October 2, The day
before the second increment of draft
ed men was ordered out, nearly thir-
teen million articles of wearing ap-
parel and sleeping equipment had been
sent to the cantonments and ship
ments are being made daily.
Camp Funston in Kansas has the
greatest quota of men of any of the
camps, its number being 1888.
The number of men at or ordered

NEXT CALL FOR MEN SOON
Second Increment for Draft Army
May be Called in December or
January-Big Deficiency for II
National Army Divisions.

A Washington dispatch states that
it appears likely that the date for the
call for the second increment Of the
draft army may be fixed for some
time in December or January. Mob
iliZation of the first increment of 687,-
900 men, states the dispatch, is now
far enough advanced to show clearly
that there will be big deficiency for
the II national army divisions. More
than 250,000 of the first increment
are still to be assembled, but it al
ready is evident that there will be
available at the Is cantonments quar-
ters for an additional regiment at
each post and at some for full bri-
gade or two regiments.
The strength of the new regimental
organization is $500 men. With a
regiment lacking at each cantonment
this alone would mean a shortage of
nearly $4,000 men. In addition there
has been organized separate divis-
ion of negro troops which means near
ly 10000 men withdrawn from the
original number assigned to the 16
cantonments.
The shortage is due partially to the
necessity of taking out of national
army men to fill up pational guard
divisions Two complete national ar
my divisions Of Southern troops have
been absorbed in this way. The rem
nants of three other Southern nation
al army divisions will be consolidated
to form a single divisional unit, and
the surplus men from other camps
will be sent South to make up the
missing divisions.
Drafts on the national army forces
must be made to fill up the enlisted
personnel of the aviation service bat
talions needed behind the fighting
lines abroad. Eventually there viii
be 250,00O men in the iast-named ser
vice alone, and aviation and the medi
cal service will take nearly as many
more, though not all of them will be
taken from the national army.

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS
Interest Centers Oh Operations of
Germans in Inland of Oesel at
Month of Gulf of Riga.

With the armies in Flanders inactive
except for bombardments, interest
centres on the operations of the Ger
mans in the island of Oesel, situated
al the mouth of the Gulf of Riga and
the kew to the entrance of the Gulf
of Finland.
At last accounts the Germans, who
landed under cover of great array
of naval craft, were steadily pressing
back the Russians towards the south
eastern part of the island and also
putting ashore other forces with the
huge armada guarding them against
assault by Russian warships.
Theentire northern and eastern sec
tions Of the island were in German
hands and the invaders were only
short distance from Arensburg, on the
southern shore, which was in flames.
Cerel, which lies on the Zvorb penin-
sula. the southernmost extremity of
the island, also was on fire. Wheth-
er the conflagrations were caused by
the Germans or whether they were
started by the Russians is not known.
Although the German communica-
ton says the Germans suffered no
losses during the landing on Oesel is
land, the Petrograd war office says
that in attempting to cover the landing
of the enemy on Dago island, to the
north of Oesel four torpedo boats are
reported to have been sunk and one
cruiser ran aground. The small de-
taehment which landed on Dago is
land was forced later by the Russians
TO return to the ships, while the Rus
sian fleet, which at last accounts, was
hlndering the German war craft in
me waters between Dago and Oesel
Islands.
As yet nothing has come through
10 show that the enemy has attempted
to attack the mainland of western
-ksthonia, nor has there been any in
oicatlon that the Russian front II
this region has been moved.
Sunday again saw heavy rainfall
on the front in Flanders and there
were only accommodating encounters
and artillery activity. Near Poelca
pelie and Becelaere the British troops
Saturday night repulsed the German
accommodating detachments, while the
French attacked German patrols anC
took a number of prisoners. To ths
south, along the Aisne, a lively ar
tillery duel continues between thu
French an dthe Germans.
On the Austro-Italian front, espec
rally IN the Isonzo region, the recip
rocal bombardments continue heavy
The only infantry engagement report
ed was in the Chiapovano valley
where Austro- -Hungarians attempte'
an attack, but were repulsed by tn
