SUGAR CONTROL
 SAVED MILLIONS
American Consumer Profited by $1e0,000, 0,0Oo-French Situ- l
 ation Helped.
HOME PRICE HELD AT g CENTS,
This Nations Sugar Supply Reduced to Seventy Per Cent. of Normal
 Java Stocks Unavailable.

Sugar control has saved the Amer ican public S1sO,OOO 900, Herbert Hoov| CT, United States food administrators declared the other day.
 He pointed out that sugar was sell ing for Il cents a pound last August and that 1t would have advanced to 20 cents a pound, with the world short age as a stimulus, had not the food administration secured the co-opera7 ton of the refners and wholesalers and fixed a sugar price that today en- ables housewives to buy sugar at from B1k to g cents a pound.
 Every l cent raise in sugar from September l to January means S1S,- 100000 to the American consumer, T Mr. Hoover said. Numbers of gen. tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar would have prevailed and the public robbed of S1sO, 100000 this year If we had not taken these actions" Later MT. Hoover called attention to the fact that uncontrolled sugar advanced to S6 cents a pound during the Civil War.
Mohave County miner., 1918-07-13

American sugar stocks could be fll-l ed to normal very soon If ships could be sent to Java, where 25O,OOO tons of sugar is waiting for shipment. But. the shipping situation Is so acute that the nation cannot spare the eleven ships needed to transport this sugar, It would take the boats one year to, haul 250,0OO tons. In the same timel they could be used for transporting 100000 soldiers to France.
 The food administration believess that the American public will diminish its sugar consumption by 10 or 15 per cent. when it is made clear that such sugar saving is a patriotic act and when 1t is understood that there are plenty of sweeteners available to take the place of sugar, such as honey or corn syrup.

The fact to which you refer, that

not mean. of course. that II met with
unanimous approval on the part OF

this. The bill. as reported after
months or labor. either had to be
approved practically as it stood or
rejected and returned to the COM

OF 400 men to deal in a detailed
manner with a subject so complex
as a taxation measure OF the mag
nitude OF the present one. The bill |
could not be made over or material |

OF the urgency of the emergency |
and the vital need to raise the sum

neUvers was predicted by Baker's
associates. provided the loan IS over
whelmingly supported.
They talked OF six months as a
limit, and some even discussed the
chance of peace by Christmas, but
with one accord they said that there
must be no wavering OF American
support of its men al this time. Such
a weakening. they declared, would be
fatal. robbing the gallant armies OF
backing at the most critical period
of the struggle.
"The people at home have a solemn
responsibility for their share in the
final result" said Baker. adding that
the loan must be oyersubscribed.
Baker came out OF the fog of the
Atlantic yesterday forenoon just as
the sun was lifting this hiding screen
around his big. fast vessel This
correspondent and few more board
ed his boat while it was still more
than a dozen miles out of an Atlantic
port. Swinging onto the big craft,
while a group of wounded or con-
valescents "kidded" the party's man.
euvering with a rope ladder, the cor
respondents were ushered with n de
gree of secrecy to a perch on the
bridge. where the Secretary was peer
ing out for the shores of America
Seems Wenried.
Baker seemed worn and weary from
the strain of work and from the i'm
press fthe things he had seen-the
glorious dash before st. Mihiel, the
tide of soldiers sweeping on in the
distance from the region OF Verdun,
the wounded coming back.
"Our boys are magnificent" he eN-
claimed after the first greetings.
1T is a smiling army, this American
army. Even the men who suffer in
the hospitals behind the lines, smile.
All over France is their smile. 1t has
spread the contaEion of good cheer"
said Baker. Everywhere you go in
France. you see the men in khaki
youths mostly between
twenty and thirty. in contrast to the
British or the bearded
poilu or boche. And the difference
stands out largely in the ages, for

than the American.
You can see the smiling face right
here" he continued, waving TO
group OF battered boys about him.
And it isn't merely the Joy of home
coming that brings that smile-for
you see 1t all over France
Escape U-BOnts.
The Secretary's journey across and
back was not without its thrills, for
outward bound they made n detour to
avoid n submarine believed to be the
one which Iater, torpedoed the Mt.
Vernon, and again. home bound, the
big. fast ship had to swing wide or It's
course to dodge two reported subna-
rines on its course.
Baker was proud of two souvenirs
one a piece of a shell from the GER
man long range gun that shelleo
Paris. another the picture OF Genera
Lafayette, given him by Count de
Chambrun, great-nephew OF the IA
nous Frenchman. Chambrun piloted
him through st. Mihiel the day after
it was cleaned up by the American
French drive, and from the ruins OF
the exquisite Chambrun villa collected
the picture Baker prizes.
Speaking OF the ST. Mihiel drive.
Baker revealed that more than 1000
guns were concentrated there. His
observation car, thirty miles from
the scene. trembled as though 1t were
in full motion.

An interesting sidelight upon the
effect American-alIied victories and
peace talk are having with the Ger

the party.
They say that il peace is coming

Senate Military Committee
Confident But Expect Fierce
Fighting Yet

Washington, April 2O.-The tide has
turned in France and the Germans have
been stopped for good, members of the
senate military affairs committee de-
ciared today after their weekly con
ference with the war council.
The ollies now are prepared to COM
bat a third offensive, if the Germans
launch enc, without any fear of its out
come, committee members said.
That the allies may be racing to get
an offensive movement launched be-
fore the Teutons can renew theirs, was
the belief of some American militarE
men today.
Both sides are feverishly bringing
up their reserves, re-eonstituting
divisions that have been badly torn in
battle and building reservoirs Of am
munition.
If the allies can wrest the initiative
from the Germans now it will be an
accomplishment equal to a substantial
gain in territory, the experts declare.
By turning the tide and forcing the
Germans back, even though slowly, the
allies will discourage plans on the part
of the enemy to undertake ~offensives
against Italy, Macedonia or Palestine,
they say.
Movement of Italian forces to the
western front is the first concrete re-
suit of the unity of command under
Foch. Italy always has had a surplus
of men, perhaps as many as 1000, GOO.
Different causes have prevented the
use of this man power previously.
