Allies Look to America
For Sugar Next Year

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Sir Joseph
White Todd and j. Ramsay Drake
Allied representatives on the interna-
tional sugar committee, which has
just worked out a plan for dividing
next years Cuban crop among the
Allies and the United States, dis
cussed the sugar situation here yes
terday with Food Administrator
Hoover. They were EN- route from
New York to Cuba.
The Allies, they said. must depend
again upon the western hemisphere
next year for their sugar supplies, as
lack of shipping makes it impossible
to obtain sugar from the east. Plans
are for the Allies to go through the
year on half normal consumption as
they realize they have had supplies
in the last few months only through
the sacrifice of American people.
Control of available supplies by the
international committee, the English
men said. will keep down prices to
the consumers everywhere and will
guarantee an equitable distribution
among the nations fighting Germany.

Congressman Kreider to
Head Drive to Raise Funds
For Lebanon Valley College

Congressman A. S. Kreider, with
the assistance of two United Breth-
rem presiding elders. DR.. S. C. Enck,
of Philadelphia, and DR.. A. Is. Stat
ton, of Hagerstown, will be at the
head OF the big drive to raise $780,
600 for Lebanon Valley College, at
Annville. These men were chosen
and a set of plans outlined at a con-
ference yesterday in the Sixth Street
United Brethren Church. The cam
paign will take in only two confer
ence districts, the Pennsylvania and
the East Pennsylvania conference. 1t
is to be launched April Z and will
end midnight, June Z.
When this movement started $780,
600 was the goal suggested, but the
great success of the Methodist
Church in it's recent sweep, and the
needs of the institution persuaded
the committee to add 100000 to
the total desired. The committee
will be aided materially by the help
of the Rev. DR.. Morris Swartz, of
Harrisburg, the man who put the
Methodists over the top and beyond.
He was the chief speaker yesterday.

HARRY LADDERS FAITH
World Famed Scottish Singer Could

World Famed scottish Singer Could
Not at First See Justice of Fate
When Harry LADDERS son was
killed. he could not at first see the
justice of 1t. 1t was for his boy that
Harry Lauder had been working all
these long years. In an article which
he has written for the January
American Magazine he says:
And then, one day, it sudden
ly came to me, as If in a revelation,
that l had not made use of some
thing in which i had always be-
lieyed. All this time, while [ had
been raging against the cruel fates
which had taken my son, there had
been comfort and peace in store
for me, and 1 had not known it.
And that comfort and peace lay in
my belief in God, and a future life
beyond this earthly sphere.
While the pain and grief had
been binding my eyes, God had
been waiting patiently for the first
sharp agony to pass away, and when
it did he gently lifted the veil from
my eyes and showed me the prom
ised land beyond. / mean that sud-
denly I realized that had not seen
the last of John, and that we were
sure to meet in another world.
"Oh. that I could convey unto
you the healing balm that that
thought was to my soul. | would
that I could picture to you the JOY
of the thought that I was to see my
John again at some future date,
just as If he had simply gone on a
long journey, and was waiting for
his mother and me to come to him.
And I brought his image before me,
and imagined him holding out his
arms to his mother and myself to
fold us within his loving embrace,
and in the Joy created by that pic
ture 1 was able to assuage some
of my pain and distress. and return
to an almost normal state of mind. "

All Red Cross Shipments
to Be Made From City
to National Headquarters

Distribution of sweaters will not
be made to soldiers from the Harris
burg chapter. American Red Cross,
hereafter. Instructions from Charles
Scott, Jr., Pennsylvania division
manager, asking that this practice be
discontinued, were recently received
at local headquarters. The reason for
the order is that the national and
local records become confused, and
this results in duplication. The OBJ
1ect is to see that men who most
need the sweaters and knitted sup
plies, are provided for, at the first,
and the national and division organ
izations will take care of this.
In his statement to the various
chapters, Mr.. Scott tells of the con-
fusion resulting from the present dis
tribution plan:
There is naturally desire on the
part of the members of the chap
ters to sec that the men from their
particular home towns are outfitted.
Direct shipments by individuals or
chapters to officers or men, however,
have resulted in much duplication
and confusion with heavy shipments
at this time of traffic congestion. For
example, we have trustworthy re-
ports of men who have received as
many as six sweaters, and of criss-
cross shipments such as one from
Alabama to Camp Wheeler, Ga, of
approximately the same number of
sweaters as were shipped at the same
time from Virginia to Admission, Ala.
This would all have been avoided had
distribution been made through the
Red Cross"

General Pershing is the best train

best trained and best equipped
Army the United States ever saw.
He is the first commander of an
American Army to put war on a
straight business footing that ev-
cry businessman the world over is
bound to respect. He is the only
general in the world war with
enough man power and material re-
sources back of him to insure vic
tory. He is the first and only war
rior, since time began, to lead a
host of millions of powerful men
from one country to another, sole
| ly on u mission of defense and de-
| liverance equal to that of the early
| Crusades, but every man of the eX-
! petition armed from tip to toe with
J the science and experience of the
modern war machine.
If you had been present fifty mil
! lion years or so back yonder, when

across the map of the world, spying
out the best time and place in
which to be a soldier and do a SOL

Pershing would be hard to find. He

The right qualities of leadership are

not cruel, proud but not naughty,
firm but not prejudiced, clean but
not prudish, calm but not hard,
shrewd but not selfish, brave but
not needless, kind but not soft.
Pershing has these qualities. y
We have marching orders for you
orders straight from Pershing.
He has spoken to you thus: Hard
ship will be your lot, but trust in
| God will give you comfort. Tempta-
ton will befall you. but the teach
ings of our Savior will give you
strength. Let your valor as a SOL
dier and your conduct as a man be

an honor TO your country" Then
Pershing set his jaw and made an
other remark, for you to heed, re-
member, and make good Ger

Follow these marching orders,
and in years to come, when the
| peace of consecrated powers that
you have brought the world fills
your own life with blessing and the
hearts of your loved ones with a
great joy and pride in the deeds you
have wrought, you will be infinitely
glad, through life and perhaps
