SUGAR USERS PUT OUT OF BUSINESS.
Syrup Manufacturers. BottleT and Soda
Fountains Suffer Under New Rule,

Raleigh June 1s.-Quite a
1umber of bottling works and
candy manufacturers and a
much larger number of soda
fountains and soft drink stands
have been temporarily put out of
business by the Food Administra
t1on because they had used more
than the eighty per cent allot-
nent of sugar to which they
were entitled. Most of these
will be allowed to begin opera
tlons again July 1st although
number will be closed for a long.
er period.
Probably the most notable in.
stance of a sugar user going out
Of business temporarily is that of
the Carolina Beverage Company
OF Salisbury, a large corporation
which had recently very greatly
Stended its capacity. This con
,ern used during May nearly
i 900 pounds of sugar, having
- far exceeded its allotment
II 1t the Food Administration di
r cted the sale and redistribution
Of all sugar On hand, amounting
to more than a carload, and or
dered the plant closed. There
is little Likelihood | that the plant
will be allowed to operate again
during the present year.
Hundreds of soda fountains.
small candy makers and other
commercial users of sugar have
failed to get in their sworn
statements of the quantity of
sugar they have heretofore used
to the Sugar Division of the
Food Administration within the
time specified and will not be
granted any allowance .-of sugar
for the balance of this year. ANY
dealers who sell sugar to these
concerns will be promptly put
out of business by the Food Ad-
ministration which will shortly
have an effective check on all
sales of sugar in the State.

AUSTRIAN DRIVE ACC0NPLI5HES LITTLE.
Reports Tell Of the Enemy Being Checked
and al Points Being Held Back.

Glu dl EGlisS D0iiiS liJiu OaUh.
June ia Though the situa
tion around the great crescent
shaped battle line in northern
Italy rem aims somewhat obscure
it seems that the Austrians have
accom- plished little at the incept-
ion of their Edrive against the
Italian and allie armies. From
! the lower Piave river and north
ward along that stream come en-
covraging reports, telling Of the
enemy being checked, and at
some points being hurled back
across the stream.
From the PiaEe to the Brenta
where the Teutons advanced
through mountain ravlnes in
their attcm pts to break through
the allied lines, the situation
seems to be we'll in hands.
1t now appears that the Aus
trians made three successful at
tenpts to cross the Piave. One
was south of Montello, where the
battle line leaves the Piave river
90, IS l,n l. ,,.I 1&1f
the alps. One was between
Candelu and Zenson loop, where
the Austrians effected a cross
ing last November, and held a
bridgehead tor some time. The
other was at Sandona di Plave,
about eleven miles from the
mouth Of The river. At east
some Of these forces have been
driven back across the river,
while the others have not been
able to develop any advantage
from their ear4ysuccess.
Reports from the battle show
that the tatics followed by the
AustrianS were similar to those
which brought success to the
Germans in the Sonme and
hiSne uffenscs The enemy ad
vanced under a cover Of smoke
barrage, i'll comparatively small
parties. These were directed
against portions of the line be
lieved to be lightly held. In
France the Germans succeeded
by this method in gaining the
rear of strongly held portious of
the line which had to be evaCuat
by the allies. Along the Italian
front, however, tue foe was not
able to penetrate far into the al
lied positions, and a counter-at
tack soon drove him back to his
lines.
The result is as yet in the bal
ance. So far the German troops
are reported only in one sector
on the mountain front, but it is
not improba bic that they will be
dispatched to a:d the Austrians
if they can be spared along the
French front.
The fact that the first onset
did not result in a virtual debaclc
such as ensued when the Ger
mans and Austrlans attacked
along the Isonzo last October.
speaks volumes for the Italian
morale and late reports give
reason for belief that the blow at
Italy is not being launched with
the force that has charaC terized
the Germans in France during
the last three months.
