NEW YORY NOW ON
VERGE OF SUGAR FAMINE

New York, Oct. 1S.--New York S
residents are face to face with a
sugar famine. 1t was announced today
by Joseph II. Post, chairman Of the
American Refner's committee OF the
federal food administration.
Practically everp person in the city
will be upon half rations OF sugar
in a very short time. 1t was declared.
This condition will last until about
December I. when material relief may
be expected
Many retail stores are even now
entirely without sugar. And. as
majority of the large Eastern reffner-
les are closed and most of the others
working on part time. the stores are
already finding 1T indrer singly diff
cult to get even a limited supply for
their customers needs
Every person should try in every
possible way to reduce the quantity
OF sugar consumed from day to day"
said Mr.. Post.
BE patriotic in this situation and
share in the temporary stringency
for the next four or six weeks, when
we hope q new crop will arrive from
the South and west to supply the
normal demand.
"It Is not question OF prices The
necessary sugar is simply not avail
able. We must reduce. Any dealer
who tries to exact high prices because
of the scarcity Is not patriotic and
deserves public oensure.
I'VE must all 5oin in cutting down
one-h half OF our daily consumption of
sugar in order that the supply on
hend may be parcelled all around"

A Difficult Problem.
The retail situation is one Of ex-
treme difficulty, owing to the expen-
sive methods OF handling. and the
lack OF authority to the administra'
ton to effect regulation, except to
those doing very large business
Conferences have ben held in Wash.

representatives of the principal re-

constructive methods of reducing
costs, waste and exorbitant charges
in trade. The associations have un-

cooperation Of the consumers in re-
ducing the number of deliveries. anc
their success in all measures will rest
largely upon the support they receive
from local authorities

GRAIN CROP OF. ITALY SMALL:
GREAT CITY WITHOUT BRFAr


Washington. Oct. 1s.--There Is con-
siderable shortage OF grain and cereals
in Italy, according to information OBJ
tanned here today. Relief depends on
the ability of italy to secure ships
to carry wheat and corn from this
country and to protect those carriers
from submarine depredations in the
Mediterrean.
The question, IT is understood. is
already before the shipping board
and the exports commission. While
this shortage Is pressing 1t was in
no sense responsible for food riots in
Turin. A true description Of the
Turin incident was secured here to-
day in an official quarter Wh<e 1t
occurred actually in August no word
of II reached America until yester-
day
On "a certain day in August. Turin.
a city OF approximately 500. 900 popu-
lation, was for eight hours without
bread. There YVES no grain OF any
kind. This was not due to the fact
that there was no grain to be had in
the country, but TO an official blum
der. The then Italian food controller.
Giuseppe Canepa. paid for the blum
der with his resignation.
Officials Of the italian embassy to-
day denied vigorously the truth OF
press reports that fifty to 500 had
been killed
There were" II was stated, "seri-
Gus disturbances which lasted for
seven or eight hours until the flour
arrived. Immediately the flour came
and was distributed the city became
quiet and there has been no trouble
since.
THE most marked thing about the
demonstrations the embassy official
continued. was that in ell the dis
turbance there was not a single cry
for peace. only protests against the
person responsible for the city having
to so without -four.
