WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
SUGAR

The world today is producing forty
per cent less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
GermanAustrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the u S. Food Administra.
tion has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
1917-1918 is at least three and hall
million tons.
That the 19l1191S crop Of cane
sugar was two million tons in excess
Of the previous year does not relieve
the general shortage
Cuba and Java produce oac-half OF
the world cane c.op, and the Java
sugar is too far removed from Amer.
lea to transport when shipping Is
badly needed to transport and main.
tain the military forces in France.
In Java a large part Of the old sug.
ar crop is still awaiting shipment
Since it requires $50 to 100 DAYS for
each boat that is sent to Java. tho
possibilities OF obtaining adequate
shipments OF Java sugar this season
are remote.
Taking the Allied nations as a group
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than
the pre-war average.

SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH THE ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.

Americas new sugar ration OF two
pounds month per person is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar
ration enforced by rigid government
al order in England. France and Italy,
nations with which we are sharing
sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter
of sugar consumption-is sharing on
nearest possible equal terms the hard
ships imposed by greatly altered con-
diitons in the world sugar situation
Farmerly classed as luxury, sugar
IS now q war time essential. The fair
and just division of this essential is
in the hands aof the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Administra.
tion has asked this nation to observe
a voluntary sugar ration of two
pounds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether in
the household of both rich and poor
or in the hotels.
England today has a sugar ration
Of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration is one pound and
a half and in Italy it is one pound
month. And the prices in allied coun
tries are from two to three times as
high as in America
II you go TO a hotel in England
or France these days and order tea
or coffee they serve absolutely no
sugar with it. If you want sugar
you must bring it with you.
In England it is allowable to use
one-seventh of an ounce of sugar in
the preparation of each luncheon.
In France many persons carry little
saccharine tablets about with them
for use in hotels and in England
rich and poor must take their sugar
with them II they wish to have sweet
ened tea while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
5000 acres devoted to sugar pro
duction BY 1917 the French sugar
acreage had decreased to $50 900 acres.
Today the French man or woman
with a sugar card has no assurance
whatever that he or she will be able
to actually buy sugar. To buy it.

DEMANDS
FOR FUEL
INCREASE

Washington, Aug. 16-The demand
for fuel on the part of war-making
branihes Of the government and the
war industries is growing by leaps
and bounds. With every increase in
the warmaking efficiency of the ma
tion there happens a corresponding
increase in fuel demands.
Applications are coming to the
United States Fuel administration
almost daily from war industries for
allotments Of coal in addition to those
made at the beginning Of the coal
year Some of these applications
come from new plants authorized by
the War Industries board not known
to the fuel administration at the be-
ginning of the year These require
ments are in addition to the original
allotments Other demands are from
plants already on the preferred list
of war industries for increased allow
ances because of enlargements and
extensions to original plants made
since the Fuel administration com
piled its estimates Of consumption.
The increased demand for coal for
the navy already amounts to about
100 per cent, and by the end of the
calendar year 1919 it is estimated
that the original allotments Of $780,
600 tons will have been increased to
S,OOO,000 tons.
The demand for coal for the bunk
ering of ships for which 13,5OO,O00
tons was appropriated has grown to
such an extent that the present fig
ures reach the rate of 21,O0OOOOtons
required.
Five industries, the operation of
which is essential to the war, have
made demands upon the Fuel admin
istration for 100000 additional tons
Of coal per month Two of these
plants have increased their demands
because of engagements or extern
sions to the original plants; the 9TH
er three are new plants, the building
and operation of which was author
lied by the War Industries board
The demands of these particular
plants is for coal produced within
limited area in West Virginia, Mary
land and Pennsylvania From these
same mines comes the entire output
going into New England and the At
lantic states, so that the pressure
created by extension to manufacture
is placed mainly upon the mines of
a very limited territory 1t so hap
pens that in the fields where the de-
mand is the heaviest transportation
service is most difficult to secure
The mines within this territory, on
July u, were more than 14,000,000
tons short of their scheduled output,
