WASHINGTON. August 2s.-An
agreement by the country's beet sugar
producers to limit tho price Of their
product so as to effect a reduction Of
about 1 1-2 cents n pound in the pres

night by tho food administration, with
notice to the public that this should
mean a saving of $30.o00,000 between
now and the first OF next year. II also
was announced that the wholesale

The new Cuban crop will not be avail
able until the latter part of. Decem-
Der. The beet sugar production OF
about 100000 tons begins to come into
the market during tho month OF Sep

This patriotic action Of the domestic
beet sugar industry in acting as a con-
troll over the price demanded for i'm
ported sugar will not only make tho
saving mentioned above between now

tribute largely to establish a lower

MONTE SANTC IS REAL KEY

It's Capture Confirms Belief That Itnl-

'Memoer OF Royal Italian Mission

CHICAGO. August 26-The CAPTURE
. OF Monte Santo. Of which I have just
learned. confirms my belief that the
Italian general staff intends TO con-
centrate its offensive efforts along the
lsonzo front. and wage defensive
war In the north. Monte Santo is the
real Key to the Austrian second line
OF delense between Tolmino and Co.
rizia.
,: Now the Italians hold. not only all
! the comma ndinE positions on the west
oank OF the Isonzo in this sector but
5 also all the mountains which dominate
lho balnsizza region. great rugged
and rocky plateau north of Gorilla.
- since their recent capture OF heights
? just north OF Monte Santo. the Italians
nave overcome almost unbelievable diff
hculties, and brought their mountain
guns 10 bear OIL the Austrian strong
hold. They must have actually blown
the Austrian positions on Monte Santo
- 70 pieces before they made the assault
that won them the coveted position.
~ OF course / cannot read what Is
.passing in the mind of General Ca
- dorna or the general staff, but the fall
u "hoHto odHto opens the way for an
offensive from the south as well as the
west on the Austrian positions at
-.Iolmino. OF greater Importance, how
ever and move that really expect
will be made, is a strong offensive
Esefrom the Bainsizza to the southwest:
In other words. a flank attack on the
Austrian lines now TO the east Of
