SUGAR SITUATION
RELIEVED BY SACKS
Ice Cream Merchant Sells Quarter
Million Pounds at Cost.

Chapin-Sacks Manufacturing Com
pany believes that every Washington
ian should be able TO purchase his
sugar at cost. In the pursuit of this
policy. George p. Sacks had 129, ,OOG
pounds of sugar turned over to the
Food Administration to be distributed
to the people of the Capital Thursday,
and yesterday added to that amount
Ill, 200 pounds, which will make nearly
$4,000 pounds OF sugar placed at the
disposal of the Food Administration by
the company in two days.
I'VE are turning over this sugar to
the people Of Washington" said
George P. Sacks today, mot because
we have a surplus of sugar but be-
cause We want to help relieve the sit
uation in the city. The sugar goes to
the Food Administration at cost, and
they are to have the entire disposition
Of it.
IF the large business concerns and
wholesalers will do this when the
shortage arises, believe that it would
greatly eliminate boarding. They can
only do so, however. when they have
the sugar to give. But by such action
they can show the true wartime
spirit"

PLANS IN U. S.
Paderewski Says He Was
Unable to Get Camp
for Poles.

Ignace Paderewski, world famous
pianist. last night had practically
come to the conclusion that he must
disband his force Of 1000 devoted
Poles who were to fight In France
under the Stars and Stripes. Permis-
sion to organize the force in America
had been granted by the War Depart
ment and Mr.. Paderewski had mobil-
ized them and secured training for
them at Niagara, on the Canadian
side OF the international line.
The coming of winter made 1t i'm
perative. however, that the force,
now under training. should secure an
enclosed camp. 1t was impossible for
them to continue under canvas any
longer
Mr.. Paderewski came to Washing
ton yesterday and asked Secretary of
War Baker for cantonement accom-
modations for the men. After his
conference with the war secretary he
was disheartened. He had hoped to
get the buildings at Fort Niagara un-
til recently employed as a reserve
officers training camp.
Quarters cannot be provided" he
told reporters after his session with
Mr.. Baker. 1T looks as IL the men
would have to 80 back TO their former
occupations and not have a chance to
fight
Official indications were that because
OF the war with Austria and the fact
that many of the Polish force. how
ever loyal to the allied ideals they
might be-, were nevertheless of Aus
trian nationality. had a great deal to
do with the War Departments de-
cision.

Stories of Pampered Prussians in In

More than $500 Germans are held
by Uncle Sam in American prison
camps. About 100 of these are held
as prisoners of war" and 2,1OO as
enemy aliens" whom it is consider

These prisoners are held. for most
part, at six internment camps.
Widespread discussion has been
started by the circulation of stories
that these interned Germans were be-
ing pampered and nursed in near
luxury.
There is no denying the fact that
these prisoners are most comforta bly,
provided for-probably better than any
equally large number of prisoners in
any war by any country. Photographs
showing the comfortable surroundings
at the camps have been sent to Ger
