BAKER, PRINCETON
 ATHLETE, KILLED
Captain of the Old 69th Won War Cross and Promotion
 for Bravery.

Capt. Charles D. Baker of the old 69th Regiment, who was the son of Stephen Baker, president of the Bank of the Manhattan Company, at 40 Wall street, New York, has been killed in action, according to word received from France. His father has not yet received any official notice of his sons death. Lieut.. Baker was a graduate of Princeton, class of 1913, where he played on the varsity football team.
 In 1915 he jatned the old 69th and saw service on the border. Soon after his return he was made first lieu tenant but before the regiment went abroad he was sent South to superin-' tend transportation of s mules and horses to France.
 On the trip across Capt. Baker was in command of all the soldiers aboard, and it was largely due to his coolness that all were saved when the ship missed it's convoy and began to leak because it's rivets had been 1oosened by enemy aliens Upon his arrival in France he joined his regiment and soon after his ear drum was punctured by shell explosion, but he remained with his men and was made acting captain, receiving the French War Cross On July 29, in the Battle of the Ourcq, he was wounded again. and died on Sept. 12. His captains commission as a full f1edged captain reached him while he lay in the hos pital.

TEN ARRESTS IN
 ARMY FRAUD RAID
United States Officer Pri- vate and Eight Civilians Charged With Passing Defective Goods.

Discovery of wholesale frauds in supplies sold to the army by Rosen- wasser Brothers, of Long Island, hold ing contracts amounting to almost $9 COG, 900, resulted in the arrest last night of First Lieutenant Samuel Grass, of the Quartermaster's Depart rent, r. s. A; Private George Si- mons of the same department, four civilian government inspectors of ma terial at the plant and four employees.
 The men were arrested by agents of the Department of Justice. Lieuten- ant Grass was arrested at the Quar- ternasters headquarters at Fort Jay, Governors Island. All of the men later were arraigned before Felix Reifscneider, United States Commis- sioner, and held in bail to await the action of the Federal Grand Jury
 Tn announcing te arrests last night Charles B. Brewer, Special Assistant United States Attorney attached to tho Department of Justice, said that five other men would be arrested ear ly today.
 The arrest of the ten men followed an investigation which Thomas Watts Gregory. Attorney General, has been cor ducting into the supplies of equip meDt for the army by Rosenwasser Brothers for the last six months.

GERMAN CAUGHT
 IN CURTISS PLANT
Employed As Expert, He Is Believed to Have Cut
 Braces of Plane Wings.

A supposed German spy was ar rested yesterday in the plant of the Curtiss Engineering Corporation at Garden City, where for the last three IT onth$ he had been employed as an expert in the airplane assembling de- partment. He is known as Edward F. Mdrchenet.
 A member of his family informed Army Intelligence operatives, who have been Investigating Marchenet fGr several weeks, that for the last eight years he has been in the employ of the German Government, his spe- cifc task being to ascertain the ex- tent of the accomplishment of this Government in the development of airpl9nes.
 In his garage in the rear of his home in Yale street, Hampstead, where he lived with his wife Theresa, who was also taken into custody, the | government agents found a workshop with. hundreds of blue print drawings l of airplanes and parts. They also 1 discovered bundles of newspaper clip
 pings relating to the war, those telling about German victories being indicat-
 ed by arrows
 l The specific charge against both
 Marchenet and his wife is that they | failed to register as enemy aliens and
 that he worked and made his home
 in territory restricted to Germans. l He obtained employment with the
 airplane corporation last June by
 stating that he was of French extrac-
 tion, born in New York city. | +o 41aot l, bo T bnoT7 oT,o

 "Inside I was cordially greeted by a modest, middle-aged little maA in a plain uniform that could scarcely dis tinguish from that of a common sol dier, no epaulets, gold braid or medals, nothing but ribbon showing years of service such as any soldier might wear. After a hearty handshake, he invited me to be seated"
 That was the King of Italy as one Yankee saw him.
 "There was not the slightest hint of royal ceremony about our meeting" declared Mir. Holt. "He simply ushered me into his apartment and invited me to sit down, as any private citizen would receive another. And it was a very. simple little apartment with no hint of luxury about it. There was a simple bed, washstand, bureau and two or three little straight-back chairs chairs that looked as though they might be of maple. remarked on the simplicity of his quarters and he said they were much better than some he had occupied.

Hamilton Holt Interviews Victor Emmanuel at the Front, Where He Lives Rugged Life
 of a Soldier.
By GARRETT SMITH,

An alliance with Republican France in the world war for Democracy is per fectly understandable to every citizen of the United States. In the case of our other chief Allies, however, there are still left some oId-fashioned Amer jeans, fed on the king-baiting school histories of a generation ago, who are a bit puzzled to find the country of George Washington lined up with the "king-ridden" nations of Europe.
 But the King of Italy is not an old fashioned King at all.
 This view of Victor Emmanuel asa royal democrat is strikingIy interpret ed by Hamilton Holt, editor of The Independent, who has just returned from Italy, where he had a most un- usual interview with His Majesty.
 MT. Holt went to Italy as the repre- sentative of the Italy America So- ciety at the time of the celebration of the third anniversary of Italy's en- trance into the war. He was received in Rome with much ceremony.
 "Finally, after these formalities were over," MT. Holt told me, q was

 Five thousand prisoners and, so guns have been captured.
 All the Bulgarian trench systems on the Serebian front have been pene- trated. Allied cavalry has taken up the pursuit and the cavalry unit has crossed the Cerna 20 miles north of the Sokol positions. Another force of horsemen has moved the same dis tance northeast.

SUGAR SHORTAGE Is
BROUGHT TO AMERICA
BY CHANCES OF WAR

Since the pinch of the sugar
shortage pressed in upon the
swests-loving American populace,
every one who has had q part Of
his regular sugar rstions cut
down has asked, either himself or
some one else Whyi"
In the past France. Italy and the
Low countries raised their own sugar.
England received over one-half Of her
supply from the Tsutonio Empires, i'm
ported largely from Java onehAlf Of
Americas sugar supply Il obtained
from Cuba. ons-sey enth from the sugar
beet production OF the United States.
onseighth from Hawaii. one-tw entieth
from Louisiana. and the rest from
Porto Rico. and the Philippines.
Factories Destroyed.
Because OF the destruction of the
greater part OF their factories, the pro
duction OF both Italy and France has
been cut down to onethird The Cen
tral Powers-thefr regular source Of
supply-has been cut off They must.
therefore, depend almost entirely upon
America
There 10 vast quantities Of sugar
stored In Java. but neither time nor
ships can be spared while sugar can
be obtained elsewhere by ons-third
the haul
Why ssssf
why are Americans urged to save
sugar.
They must meet the Allied shortage;
they must release ships formerly used
In the sugar trade to carry soldiers
and supplies to Europe: they must
make up the loss OF beet sugar lands
and factories captured or destroyed
by the Germans in Northern France
and Italy. Ships which would have
kept up the flow OF sugar have been
sunk Tventy-six thousand tons o.,
sugar were lost recently IN submarine
raids upon Americas Atlantic coast
Fifty thousand tons of sugar carrying
shipping were transferred to meet the
requirements OF Belgian RELIEF

In spite of-ths shortage. sugar Is
selling all over the United States at
81 cents TO 10 cents a pound During
the Cfv1 War. when no shortage
threatened. sugar sold for SIS cents 3
pound owing to speculation which was
rampant and which. in this war. has
been checked by the United States
