NEW YORK, Apr. 26.-A plan under which New york banking in tercsts would finance the next Cub an sugar crop, involving eXpend- iture of a sum as high as $150,000, 900, is under consideration here, it was learned today.
 The importance of an adequate supply of sugar for the United States and of shipments to the Allies was placed before a bankers committee by the International Sug- ar Company, acting for the Nation al Food Administration.
 If the plan natures, money will be assured to finance the next crop in Cuba, expected to be the largest in it's history. Another shortage, such as the one recently would perhaps be avertcd.

So far the German attacking forces have greatly outnumbered the Allies but in spite of this, these two hills have not as yet, been abandoned, by the Allies. Reserves of French British and American troops are be- ing rushed into the breach, and Foch, the Commander in Chief, has personally taken command of the Allies defense. He expresses deter imitation to fight it out if it takes all Summer. He has so far, only used small portion, of his Ameri- can reserve forces and states, that the entire question of victory, in this sector of the battle line, rests entirely with the side having the best reserves. This, he says will be the greatest determining factor, in the final results of this frightfully gorey battle.
