MAY BE ASSIGNED TO
DUTY AT CAMP MEADE.
MARYLAND Officers Trained AT Fort
Myer Can Ask Transfers There if
They Wish.

Adjutant-General Mccain yesterday
announced that an order had been Is
sued to Maj General Cronkhite au-
thorizing him to pass favorably upon
the application of any Maryland Off
Ger. trained at Fort Myer, VINO wishes
transfer to Camp Meade.
This order substantiates previous
reports to the effect that such applica-
tions would be acted upon favorably
in the case of any Marylander who pre-
ferred to command troops from his
own State undergoing training at Ad-
miral.
1t has developed, hcwever that the
order to the division commander did
not proceed from the War Department
| as soon as expected. General Mccain
said it had been somewhat delayed
but had not been issued. as Maryland
ers or District of Columbia officers
would learn, if they made or renewed
their applications for transfers.
If it had been practicable, the War
Department would have issued blan-
ket order for the detail of all officers
to training camps where their own
people were in training. But the
change of the troops was directed
after most of the officers were on their
way to camp. This has made it ne
cessary for the Fort Myer officers. to
present Individual requests for the
new assignment.

benches, curb stones along the edges
of the piers aud on the sides of boats
usually. with half a melon in their
hands and seeds and rinds scattered
nearby. Although there was a big
supply on hand prices ran as has been
usual since the war. Big juicy melons
brought from 25 to so cents, while
tomatoes were selling for so cents a

were not of the best were to be had
cheaper. - Baltimore Sun.

yISCOUNT ISHII WARNS
REPEATS HIS MESSAGE
Against Those Who Sow Seeds OF Dis
cord-His Country In War
To STAY.

message of comra6eship and coopers-
tion in the war in Congress yesterday,

in the battle against military oppres-
sion to stay and welcomed the oppor-
tupity to fight beside the United

Every reference to friendly relations

sidious efforts to mar them was warm-
lv received. Speaker Clark, introduc-
ing the visitor, said:
1.-THE Empire of Japan is our west
ern neighbor. They hold one side OF
the Pacific, and we hold the other and
every right-thinkig man in the Empire
of Japan and the Republic Of the UNI
ted States hopes that peace and amity
and friendly relations will always pre-

In his address Viscount lshii said;
Treachery from within at this
hour calls for our attention. While
your soldiers leave their families and
their home to fight on the blood-staln-
ed fields of France, We must guard our
landmarks, as you will guard yours,
AGAINST treachery that has found mid.
ing places in our midst and which for
the last 10 years has sown the seeds OF
discord between US. Let it be part
of our cooperation and coordination
j to protect each other from these forces
of evil which lack even the poorest

THE LARGEST CROP EVER

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Herbert
Hoovers food administration was
blamed by Claus Spreckels today for
the sugar famine in the United States.
Testifying before the senate sugar and
coal investigating committee, Spreck-
els, leading independent, stated that
the food administration had tied the
hands OF American refiners by an
agreement which prevents their get
ting sugar to refine.
Chairman Reed, early in today's
open hearing brought out the following
facts:
There is no world sugar shortage;
this years crop is larger than last
years; the food administration made
American reffners agree not to import
any sugar; other countries have de-
creased their sugar consumption, Eng
land and France fifty per cent; sugar
has been diverted to other countries
right through the United States; the
American Sugar Refining company
known as the sugar trust, controls
ninetenths of the output in this coun-
try.
could you get sugar today to run
your factory" asked Senator Kenyon,
Iowa.
mo, the sugar has been diverted
replied Spreckles. "We were anxious
to pay the price but the food admins
tration wouldn't let us. My refinery
| is not running now; it has no sugar to
refine. We had an opportunity to buy
sugar in October and September but
the agreement with the food admins
tration forbade our buying it. Then
some of the sugar went to Canada. II
went right through New York"
Hoover was represented at today's
session by Curtis H. Lindley, CHIEF
counsel for the food administration
Chairman Reed explained at the out
set that the committee would decide
later whether Hoover would be permit
ted to cross examine witnesses.
Seeking to learn why the food ad
ministration restricted importation O.
sugar, Reed read a statement made
