1000 ENT0M0LOGISTS FIGHTING

Atlanta, January, 1918.-(Special.) y
To save the cotton crop of the South

which the Mexican Cotton Boil Weevil
brought upon it, national and state
eut0mologists are now concentrating

"There Is now an elimination of
speculation, extortionate profits, and
in the refining alone the American
people will save over $25,O00,O0 of
the refining charges last year. A part
Of these savings goes to the Cuban,
Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lousianian
producer and part to the consumer.
Appeals to prejudice against the
food administration have been made
because the Cuban price is "a cents
above that Of 1917. 1t Is said in effect
that the Cubans are at our mercy !;
that We could get sugar cent lower.
We made exhaustive study Of the cost
of producing sugar in Cuba last year
through our own agents in Cuba, and
we find 1t averages $3.50, while many
producers are at a higher level. We
found that an average profit of at
least cent per pound was necessary
in order to maintain and stimulate
production or that minimum price of
$4.37 was necessary, and even this
would stifie some producers.

amount has been saved by our reduc-

take that course just at the time Of all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such a
course would produce disturbances in
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies. but beyond all these material
reasons Is one Of human Justice. This

here to-day when their airplane col

height Of about 800 feet. The two oc-

The two airplanes were locked to-
gether by the impact. The machines
descended slowly to height of about
250 feet, when the aviators broke the
lock and both machines fell headlong.
The cadets in the other machine, whose
names the authorities declined to make
public, escaped without scratch.
Lieutenant Kuen was an instructor

Enemy at Toul Fires
90 Shells i'm 48 Hours
by The Associated Prcss)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, May 25.-The last forty-eight
hours hour have been the quietest in the
Toul sector since the Americans took
it over. In that period only ninety
enemy shells fell within the whole sec
tor. The American artillery was some
what more active. The American shells
fired numbered into the hundreds.
Americans this morning watching
German Arches shelling plane sud-
denly observed one smoke puff burst di-
rectly underneath the machine, which
dived earthward. A few hundred yards
above the ground, however, the pilot
seemed to gain momentary control, for
the machine Strengthened out. 1t only
remained straight for a moment when
it side-slipped and crashed to the earth
between the Quart de Reserve and La
Hayville.
The American patrols continue their
work nightly. Last night one entered
the German positions and proceeded
as far back as the second line south
west of Sonnard Wood without en-
countering single German, although
several work parties were heard.
One of the American patrols in the
Luneville sector this morning found
the body of dead German in No Mans
Land. Apparently the man had been
killed by she'll fire, and the patrol
brought in much valuable information
obtained from papers in the mans
pockets.
