RECKLESS
French Correspondent Says
They Value Their Lives Less.
French Willing To Sacrifice but
Have Learned To Save Men.

London, July accompanying the
work of the French and American
troops in the battle now going on,
Reuters correspondent at American
headquarters writes:
THE French had had four years of
hard study and the lesson most laid to
heart us the value to France of live
Frenchmen and dead Germans. When
sacrifices are required they are quite
ready to make them, but their pride
is to kill and pay little for killing.
They admire the reckless valor of the
Americans, but their own methods are
somewhat slower and more subtle.
Each gets to his objective but the
French leave fewer men behind"

Americans Asked to Use No More Than

After making careful survey OF the

TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER.
SON A MONTH until January |, 1919
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied where the present sug-
ar ration Is already reduced to the
lowest possible level--and the need Of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two of the leading causes of the
curtallment of Americas sugar ration
Americans are requested to make

their use of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
U. s. Food Administrations cafeteria
Mt Washington, where employees OF the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound OF sugar Is used for
every 100 meals served.
The U. 8. Food Administration Is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
OF sugar here to level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.

ed, and the inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account Of the imperative call for
ships for the movement OF troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
