After making careful survey of the

TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER-
son A MONTH until January /, 1919
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations where the present sug.
ar ration Is already reduced to the
lowest possible leyel--and the need of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two Of the leading causes OF the
curtailment OF Americas sugar ration.

Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person

Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies througheut the
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc-
ton from the American beet and
louisiana cane crops have been dlsap-
pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticlpat-
ed, and the inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the imperative call for
ships for the movement Of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters, Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
OF the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian lnVasions, dur.
ing which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; we
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
ings off our Atlantic coast.

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
/. .ugar neeessary in the diet?

Is sugar necessary in the diet?
Neither cane beet sugar is necessary. In the
average American diet allthesugar needed may ordi-
narly be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh pre-
served and dried fruits.
What the general sugar saving rules?
Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible use
other sweeteners. BE sparing Of CONNECTIONS and
sweet cakes The American people last year spent
enough money for candy to feed all Belgium for two
years. Supplement sugar with honey and sirups.
Cultivate taste for fruit in its natural sweetness.
Sugar is fuel food Get fuel from potatoes and
other starchy foods rather than from sugar Sugar
excels them energy-food only because it pro-
duces energy more quickly. They excel sugar since
they supply more than merely the fuel need.
How may the ration be expressed in quantities
known to everyone?
Two pounds per month about per
week, little more than ounce day This daily .
ration is triAe than tablespoons level FULL
It should be remembered that this is to include all
sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-for table
cooking, in ice and desserts, cereals
fruit, in sugar sirups used Oh grddle cakes, ETC.

AMERICA TO ASSIST
WAR-STRICKEN EUROPE.
Forty Million in Russia Alone VIII
Have Little Chance of Getting Food
This Winter-Further Food Saving
Necessary. Says Hoover.

The nations obligation to serve hu
manity in war-torn Europe by helping
to provide sustenance until next har-
vest will demand further sacrifices by
the American people. Food Admins
traitor Hoover declared Tuesday in an
address TO state food administrators
al Washington.
Conditions Of famine exist in Eu-
rope Mr. Hoover said. that will be
beyond our powers to remedy. even
with the carrying out Of the plan to
ship from America 100000 900 tons Of
foodstuffs during the next year. In
northern Russia alone, he declared
there are forty million people who have
little chance of obtaining food this
winter Millions Of others throughout
Europe he said. who can be reached
must be fed
This being tht new world situation
created by the collapse of the war. Mr..
Hoover continued, the prime changes
in our policies on today's outlook can
be summarized:
That we may now advantag geously
abandon the use Of substitutes in our
wheat bread: that we will still re-
quire economy and the elimination of
waste in its consumption: that for
the present we need conservation in
butter and condensed milk; that ulti-
mately we must txtend this to all the
fats
We can contemplate. at the most
maintaining three pounds of sugar pei
month per person for household use
or the prestnt outlook. and we can by
/ the availability of Java sugar to Eu-
rope begin at once to relax more re
straints on sugar pending some chang,
in Europe policies.
There are special features of chan
ges in policy but the shifting of con
servatiOn from one commodity TO an
other is not the whole policy. There
is one policy which we can not chan Q,
and that is the vital necessity of sim
nle living. of economy in the consump
/ tion of all commodities more or les,
substitutes for each other We mus
rctlize that tht spectre of famine
abroad haunts the abundance of on
table at home.
The war has been brought to al
end in no small measure by starva
tiOn itself. and it can not be our bus
! mess to maintain starvation after til,
establishment of peace.
North America. Mr. Hoover said
will have to furnish so per cent o
the worlds foOdstuffs and the Unite,
States and the West hides will be abb,
to export 20.OO0O0o tons as agains
a Drewar normal of 100000 tons.
Mr. Hoover told tho state admins
traitors that the food administration
viii be discontinued under the Law
when peace is proclaimed. and added
do not expect to see its renewal
I look now for a turn of American
food trades toward conservative an,
/ safe business.

GERMAN FORCES MOVING
SLOWLY TOWARD HOME
Only Fringe of Soldiers Confronting
American Armies; Huns Face Great
Task in Returning to Own Soil.

Germanys army was moving slowly
along its whole front toward the rear
Wednesday.
The American forces remain exact
" where they were when the armis-
tice went into effect.
So far as known at the American
army headquarters no disposition has
been displayed to block at any point
that part of the agreemnt providing
for the withdrawal of the German
troops It is realized that the revers-
ing of the gears of the great broken
German machine will not be simple
There would have been no surprise
among the American officers had the
German front remained almost un-
changed. but already there appears to
have been left Immediately in front
of the Americans little more than a
fringe of soldiers. In some places
even that line has been withdrawn so
far that the army men on this side do
not know its location.
The Germans reluctantly abandoned
their efforts to continue fraterniza-
ton where the lines were still in
proximity. but threats to hold as
prisoners any one approaching the
American lines practically stopped
their visits.
Behind the American line the acti-
witty of the supply trains continued
Wednesday and the troops modified
at the front settled down to routine
duty. There was an increasing num-
her of leaves of absence. however. and
the towns in the rear where troops
are stationed were gayer than at any
time since the beginning of the war
The celebration that began Monday
night gathered momentum instead il
showing signs of abating.

SAYS KAISER is RESPONSIBLE
FOR EXCESSES IN GERMANY.

THE despotism of one man always

former President Taft when informed
Of some of the eXcesses committed is
Germany Immediately after the sign
iDg Of the armistice.
"The kaiser is as responsible for
excesses committed in Germany now
as he was for outrages in Belgium
aud France. I hope Germany will not
suffer as Russia has. Germans are
intelligent people and well educated
hut the Russiass were not. Our work
will rot end in Europe with the com
ing of peace American troops will be
needed in Europe for at least two
years"
I'm international law. what will he
the effect of the kaisers taking ref
uge in Holland" Mr. Taft was asked.
You mean as far as punishment is
concerned Holland will he the sole
Judge of that AS long as there are
extradition treaties between Holland
and the principal nations of Europe
she may be asked to give him up for
punishment"

PLACE CASUALTY LIST
AT ABOUT 100000
Washington Officials Estimate That
Figures will Cover All Losses in
War.

Officials at Washington estimate
that the total casualties of the Amer
lean expeditiOnary forces in the war
will not exceed 100000. including the
men killed in action, wounded died of
wounds, disease, accidents and the
missing who never will be accounted
for. Some of those who have been
missing probably will be accounted
for when the prisoners are returned
from Germany.
It was said Wednesday that it prob
ably will be several weeks before the
record of casualties can be COM
pleted 1t is regarded as almost GER
tain that many of the casualties in
the recent heavy fighting by the First
and Second American armies have not
yet been reported. Lists also must be
compiled of unrepOrted American cas-
ualities in British and Fresch hospi-
tails, especially from among the United
States forces brigaded with allied
units Deaths from wounds also
probably will be reported for some
time while lists of slightly wounded
being sent by couriers may be delay
ed
have consisted of approximately 100
names Secretary Baker has indicated
that a considerable number of re-
ported casualties remain to be given
out but that these will be released as
rapidly as newspapers can dispose of
them.
An official tabulaton of published
casualty lists including those of No
vember y shows a grand total of H.
300 men, Careful estimates made
Wednesday, based on knowledge of
the battle conditions fixed by the First
and Second armies in the days imme-
diately preceding cessation of hos
