Salvation Army Workers Face Death
That Soldier Heroes May Have Re-

Huge barrels of lemonade served to
the American troops during the bat
tie of Chateau-Thierry furnished only
one instance of the service being
rendered to the soldiers Of Uncle Sam
and his allies by the Salvation Army
workers now detailed with the fight
ing units on the western front
The troops had been hammering
at the Boche all day and all night
and many of them had been put out
Of action during the terrific fighting,
but although suffering from wounds
made by shrapnel, rifle bullets and
hand grenades, most Of the injured
men were conscious and many Of
them able to get about with the aid
of improvised crutches. The surgeons
were busy in the dressing stations
and the waiting soldiers wanted moth,
ing so much as a good drink Of
something cold and refreshing.
Then it was that the Salvation Ar
my workers came along with several
barrels filed with sure enough lem
onade. Where they got the lemons
or the sugar nobody knows, but the
soldiers asked no questions as they
dove for the tin cups that were piled
alongside the barrels on a huge truck.
The surgeons said afterWard that
the lemonade served to keep down

wounds could not be dressed until
the most serious cases had been at.
tended to. And what that cupful of
good old Yankee drink meant to
those boys who had just come out of
the inferno of Chateau-Thierry, will
never be told.
It is just that kind of service that
is making the Salvation Army organi-
zation with the military forces of the
allies one Of the most potent factors
in welfare work. AS one Of the seven
great war work organizations par
ticipating in the united war work
fund drive in November, the Saliva
ton Army will be enabled, through
it's share of the $40, 100000 to con.
tinue it's operations with the fighting
men.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR;
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies throughout 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 disap-
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 a large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian invasions, 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
nqs off our Atlantic coast
The Food Administration is conf
dent that the ..mercan people, with
the record Of wheat savings behind it,
having by voluntary savings sent 49,
100000 bushels of wheat to the Allies
after practically every bushel had been
exhausted from our normal surplus,
will with the same spirit save the
sugar situation of the world.

After making careful survey Of the
world sugar situation the U. S. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER
SON A MONTH until January |, 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nahOns-where the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need OF
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two Of the leading causes of the
curtailment of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds Of sugar per person (half
q pound a week. serve for all sugar
uses in the sehOld-including cook
ing and all sugar served at the table
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required to limit
their use of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
U. S. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound Of sugar is used for
every 100 meals served
The L. S. Food Administration is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
Of sugar here to a level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces In its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the AL
Ned world is as follows:

Again the good people of Granger
county have shown their loyalty to
the nation and their devotion to the
cause Of freedom by overscribing the
quota to the fourth Liberty Loan.
With but few exceptions, men and
women who could pissibly do so, have
bought a bond. By this, they have
shown their interest in humanity at
large and have placed their county
on the map of patriotism. While a
majority of our citizens should and
will be commended for the splendid
showing made in the recent, as we'll
as other loan and Red Cross drives,
yet, there are a few men who have
done practically nothing. How men
of money can fold their hands and
do nothing, and at the same time
hold important official positions, is,
indeed, a mystery. What's the mat
ter when men - leaders in public
life = can close their pocketbooks
to the appeal of the sons of their
neighbor and friends who are giving
up life that slackers and patriots
alike may live? Surely there will be
a day Of reckoning when the worked
will be blessed and when the Stacker
will be damned.

Thousands of Girls Cut Off
Long Hair and Contribute 1t
to Country for War Purposes

AS proof Of the sacrifices women are
willing to make when their sentiments
or emotions are aroused. IT Is related
that thousands Of girls, both in Ger
many and France, cut off their long
hair and contributed 1t to their eoun-
try for war purposes, says the Peo-
ple's Home Journal. The instance *
not the first Of its kind recorded in
history, however.
An interesting example Of similar
devotion comes from northern Japan
where a great temple was in progress
Of erection. Immense timbers were
being hauled from the mountains to be
placed in the building, and the worK
was delayed By the frequent breaking
Of the ropes. At length an edict was
issued calling on the women to give
their long hair which could be woven
into ropes Of sufficient strength for the
purpose

Diplomats among the marines In
France have eliminated one of the hor-
rors of being a hero, the Washington
Times states. The announcement was
casually made In report from marine
corps headquarters, describing the
winning and award of Is French war
crosses TO members of the American
legion, known to the Germans as devil
dogs. To be blunt about it, the news
is this: mo longer do French officers
kiss on each cheek an American who
has won the croix de guerre. Instead
the officer comforting the honor pins
the bronze decoration TO the left breast
pocket of the hero and then shakes his
right hand
AS yet the official files of the marine
corps have not disclosed the name Of
the diplomat who brought about the
change in French tactics in dealing
with American heroes. 1t is under
stood. however, that he is an officer Of
70 mean rank, who lately returned to
the United States.
According to the information at
land, the first occasion upon which
the French adopted the Misunderstanding
tactics of the American as Ill express
SION of esteem was in May, just few
/ weeks after a company of marines
sent in to relieve detachment of their
pals had driven off storm battalion
of Germans who had tried to stampede
them.
The men were ordered to a section
of woodland to receive their hard-wOn
war crosses. A blare of trumpets
