SUGAR REPORTS
Manufacturers in This City Should
Not Fail to File Their Required
Statement With the Food Adj
ministratOr.

It is announced from Washington
that the control of sugar allotted to
manufacturers will, so far as can now
be seen, continue throughout the year.
It is necessary, therefore, that all
manufacturers of less essential food
products using sugar, must file with
the Sugar Division Of the Food Adj
ministration of Kentucky, before June
10th, the required statement showing
sugar used, sugar on hand and their
requirements to July list, and showing
their present situation in regard to
sugar, in order that the sugar division
may know they are conforming to the
Administration rules.
Unless these reports are filed with
the Sugar Division of the Administra-
tiop before June 10th, no sugar will be
allotted for the balance of 1918, to
manufacturers failing to make such
report. If any manufacturer of these
products has in stock large amount
of sugar and thinks thereby he has
no occasion to apply to the Food Adj
ministration for sugar certificates,
and does not take cognizance of the
rules and make his application, he
will likely to be proceeded against I'M
der the Food Act.
The less essential products refer
red to above include manufacturers
of condiments, of soda water, confec-
fectionery and candies, of chocolate,
of soft drinks and beverage syrups,
fruit syrups and flavorng extracts, of
sweet pickles, of chewing gum, of
cocoa, of invert sugar, of wine and
cereal manufacturers, bottlers of soft
drinks, soda water fountains and sell
lers of soft drinks.
The blanks to be filled out must be
on Government form and can be OBJ
tanned from the County Food Admin
istrators of each of the counties in the
State of Kentucky. They should be
filled out accurately and filed with the
Sugar Division, Herman D. Newcomb,
Chairman, 7O1 Inter-SOuthern Build
ing, Louisville, Ky.

ALLIES STIFFEN LINES
And Slow German Advance-Marked
Lessenlng Of yigOr Of Enemy's
Drive During Past Two Days
Heavy Toll Of Lives
Paid For Gains
Made.

New York, June 3--Although 1t can
not be said that the Germans in theii
new offensive have been definitely
stopped there Is, nevertheless,
marked lessening in the speed and
their gains -snce Saturday, have been
relatively small when compared with
those of previous days
And, according to the accounts OF
unofficial observers wherever they
have been able since the stiffening OF
the Allied lines to attain new posi-
tons and exorbitant price in lives
has been exacted from them.
So great have been the casualties,
so great that the Prussian Guard d.
visions, the pride of the German
crown prince is declared to have been
Withdrawn from the battle.
Particularly hard fighting again has
been in progress between scissors
and Chaeau Thierry where the Ger
mans are endeavoring to push furth-
er forward, toward Paris, but not only
have the French troops almost every
where successfully withstood the on
slaught, but on several sectors they
have taken the initiative and given
ground. As whole the situation
along this line is relatively unchang-
ed.
The German war Office at last has
admitted that the Allied line on the
west has been reinforced by fresh
units but it asserts that they have not
been able to hold the positions to
which they were assigned. Neverthe-
less, the fact is patent from an OBJ
servation of the war maps that almost
everywhere in this region the German
line, for the moment at Neast, is be-
ing hard held.
From Chateau Thierry eastward
along the Marine and thence to
Rheims the situation is unchanged
from that of Sunday, The enemy are
on the northern bank of the Marine
for a distance of about fifteen miles,
but as yet he has made no attempt
to cross the stream.
The news of what it has cost the
German armies in men killed, wound
ed or made prisoner in the present
battle is reaching Germany through
a no less authoritative channel than
the Norddeustche Allegenmin Zeitung,
This journal prints letter from a
German colonel at the front who
urges the people to bear their losses
with patience and confidence.
Little fighting aside from the usual
small affairs between raiding parties
is taking place on the Flanders front,
The British have carried out success

taken nearly 800 prisoners.

eyes DR.. Boyd seems to have a strong
hold on that wing of the convention, which
by us is considered rump convention, but
why not, he has been fortifying himself for
the past twenty-five years. He, himself, says
more than two million dollars have passed
through his hands since he has had charge
Of the publishing house Of the convention
and on all those dollars he has had his
profits; and the business, aside from having
been very profitable for him, will be rich

that he has not taken penny from the
concern that he was not legitimately en-
