HOOVER GIVES REASON
Low SUGAR SUPPLIES

"A number of causes have cumulat-
ed to make our sugar position more
difficult than we could have anticipat-
ed at the beginning Of the year." sai'
United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover in a communication
received by Federal Food ADMINISTERS
tor Thomas B. Stearns. The In
creased shipping needed by our grow
ing army in France has necsssttatsd
the curtailment Of sugar transportar
ton, particularly from the longer voy-
age, and has thus reduced supplies
both to the allies and ourselves from
remote markets. Some Of the accoa6-
BILE sugar producing areas have proved
less yield than was anticipated such
as certain of the West Indian Islands.
The domestic beet and Louisiana crops
have fallen below anticipation. There
has been some destruction Of beet Hu-
gar factories In the battle area Of
France and ItalS. We have lost sugar
by submarines.
"As close an estimate a. We can
make indicates reasonable expecta-
tion from all sources of about 1,60O, 900
tons of sugar for the United States
consumption during the last half o(
the present year. This is based upoa
the maintenance OF the present neA-
gre allied ration. An improvement IN
shipping conditions would Of course
relieve this situation as quantities q
sugar are in unavailable markets. WD
must, however. base the distribution q
sugar during the next six months, ~
on the above footing. After that period
the new West Indian crop win -
available.
"This supply Of 1906, 900 tons neoes-
states considerable reduction in cR
consumption. To provide three poun1s
Of sugar per person per month ~
household use, to take care Of oae
army and navy and to provide for IL
necessary preservation Of fruit. nm,
etc. will require about 1.600.0o taa1
of sugar for the six months.-u~-

STARVATION EXACTS
GREATER TOLL THAN
RUTHLESS War GOD

II list were made Of all those In
Europe who have died in action and
another Of those who have died from
starvation. the latter would be longer.
Think Of It! 100000 more have died
from famine than have died ON the
battle field. The total number Of
those who have been killed in fighting
is 4.250,00O. The total number Of
those who have died from starvation
IL 4.750,000.
Can We grasp the tragedy IN these
figures?
Over four ahttaa half nniilsbns q
old men and women, young mothers.
girls and boys and babies. have been
sacrificed to the War God without
even the privilege Of leaving behind
the honored memory q those who die
in glorious service on the battlefield
Thsy have died IN silent anguish, m
known, unsung.
Perhaps the memory of their
Deaths would not forever ful ~ With
horror II we could convince ourssaves
that those who have died Of starva-
tioa have not died in vain: that BY
their sacrifice they have pushed the
Allies little nearer victory. The
loss Of these lives will have been ap-
psllinsly useless UNLESS their
deaths shall serve as . spur for 10
to redouble our efforts in food con-
servation and save the remaining mil-
lions in Europe who turn to US each
day. pleading, Give US this day cur
