LESS ESSENTIAL FOODS
MUST USE BROWN SUGAR
Drastic Rule Is Imposed on
Manufacturers of Candy
and the Like

Manufacturers of those products des-
ignated by the food administration as
less essential" such as pickles, can
dies, cereals, chewing gum, beverage
syrups, soda water havorings and condl-
ments. must use brown sugar during
the critical shortage in the sugar sup
ply
This announcement has been made by
DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule. federal food ad-
ministrator for Georgia, in d statement
directing that proper means be taken to
insure a sufficient supply of white sugar
for the canning and preserving opera
tions now being carried on generally IN
the households of Georgia.
. 1t is stated that the Louisiana rehn-
ers have on hand a considerable quanti-
ty of brown sugar suitable for use in
the manufacture of those products char
acterized as less essential" and where
immediate delivery is desired, this
grade of sugar will have to be used.
According to orders issued by the food
administration at Washington D. c., re-
finers of the south have been ordered
to ship no sugar north of line extend
ing from Kansas City to st. Louis to
Louisville and the North Carolina boun-
dairy These regulations must be CO.
served until further notice from the
Hoover officials.
The height of the canning season In
the southern states, necessitating the
use of great quantities of sugar. is the
cause of these orders and until the
crisis is passed the first thought of the
administration will be to supply this
class of consumers.
Retail merchants in Georgia have
been notified by DR.. Soule to sell sugar
for canning purposes. securing certln-

sault against the British lines from
the vicinity of Arras to La Fere. The
front in the March 81 offensive was re
ported to he about fifty-five miles in
length. The one over which the Ger
mans are attacking today is approx
mately fifty miles from Chateau Thier-
ry on the west. to Messignes, in the
Champagne, on the east.
The Germans followed their most re-
cent tactics of beginning an offensive.
There was a brief artillery preparation
of greatest violence and then came the
advance of assault troops.
There seems, however, to have been
a new feature in this attack Great
naval guns had been brought up behind
the enemy lines and towns and cities
far behind the actual battle area were
taken under bombardment. The violence
Of this cannonade is evidenced by the
fact that the city of Maux. twenty-five
miles west of Chateau Thierry, was I'M
der fire of great projectiles during the
night.
The apparent purpose of the Germans
attacking along the line from Chateau
Thierry east along the Marine along the
rolling hills to Rheims and thence east
ward to Massignes was similar to that
in the great attack along the Aisne late
in May. They evidently hoped to find
the allies less we'll prepared in this sec
tor than elsewhere. In spite of the re-
pulse of the Germans before Rheims
early in June it may be that the allied
line eastward from Chateau Thierry had
been more thinly held than that from
Chateau Thierry north to the Aisne and
thence through the Picardy sector to
Ypres. German assaulting troops thus
might expect to encounter less violent
resistance in the sectors east. of Chateau
Thierry, and the Germans possibly
hoped for gains which even would COM
pei an allied retirement from the Nerdun
and st. Mihiel sectors.
The north bank of the Marine is held
by the Germans for a distance of some
twenty miles east from Chateau Thier-
ry A successful attack in the Rheims
area might force the allies back on the
Marine still farther east and give the
Germans command of the communica-
tions system by which the French and
American troops at Verdun and st.
Mihiel are supplied with food and mu-
nitions.
In this district is the city of Chalons.
