Cited in divisional orders by Maj.
Gen. Dickman for courage. fearless
ness and military ability on the oe-
casion of the Chateau Thierry action
in June. Capt. Lindsey Mcdonald Sill
vester Of Portsmouth. Va. nephew Of
Miss Genevieve Sylvester; teacher of
Hyde School, has been promoted to
be major. Capt. Sylvester is a gradu-
ate of Maryland State College. He
has many friends in Washington.
An excerpt from divisional orders
follows:
'The unusual courage and ability
displayed is evidenced by these facts:
Capt. Sylvester successfully ac-
complished the relief of French
bicycle company on the night of
June 4 in the front-line trenches,
within 800 yards Of the German line,
in spite of the fact that 1t was i'm
possible for him to secure certain
necessary equipment.
"On June 6. acting under orders OF
the French commander of the sector.
he advanced his entire command 1000
yards under heavy German barrage
and marched on Monneaux. encoun-
tering a heavy German barraEe OF
gas shells eventually establikhing
his company 400 yards northwest Of
Nfonneaux. in the objective given by
the French commander of the sector,
where he remained under heavy she'll
fire during June and s.
Losses suffered by Capt. Silvester's
command were astonishingly small,
solely on account Of his military
ability as displayed by the tactics he
employed. 1t has been stated that
Capt Sylvester is responsible for the
success Of the advance"

SAYS PRESIDENT WANTS
US. TO CONTROL WORLD
Capt. Boyd, for Comfort Of Aus
tria, Tries to Explain Fail
ure of U-Boats.

AMSTERDAM, August Capt.
Karl Boy-Ed, former naval attache at
the German embassy at Washington,
in giving his views on submarine
war to the Neue Freie Presse Of Vi
emma, declares that America would, in
any case, have entered the war. He
asserts that President Wilson'S wish
is that the German empire and Aus
tria-Hungary be defeated, and Great
Britain so exhausted militarily, eco
nomically and financially, that the
United States will become the con-
trolling world power. He says that
the entente nations have been able,
temporarily, to surmount the heavy
losses inflicted by submarines only by
the robbery of neutral mercantile
fleets.
failure of the submarine to interfere
with the transport of American
troops, during which he follows the
lines of Admiral Won Holtzendorff's
recent statement, Capt. Boy-Ed says
that the question of American mill
tary assistance to the allies is not a
question of cargo space. Aware. evil
IDENTIFY, of. the critical views held in
some quarters in Austria regarding
the U-boat campaign, he continues to
plead that without the submarine the
military position of the central pow
ers would be considered more unfa-
vorable, saying; incidentally, that no
less than $500 British ships are en-
ployed in combating submarines in
the Atlantic. the North sea and the
Mediterranean.
In conclusion, Capt. Boy-Ed tries to
comfort the Austrians by saying that
he is quite unable to think, after my
experiences, the war is popular in the
United States" and that he believes
that the great majority of the Ameri-
can people long as much for peace as
those who kindled this unparalleled
and senseless war against the central
powers"

marine had attacked them.
The officers of the ship explained
that 1t was only an approaching
storm. The men breathed a sigh Of
relief.
Maj. Heron referred to Capt. Louis

MUST USE Less SUGAR;
ALLIED i NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use. No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning Of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

After making careful survey Of the
world sugar situation the u. S.. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER-
SON A MONTH until January /, 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-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
curtailment Of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds Of sugar per person (half
apound a week) serve for all sugar
uses in the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as yell as
housewives, will be required to limit
their u3s of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
q. &. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound of sugar is used fol
every 12O meals served.
The q. s. Food Administration is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
of sugar here to a level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
a sair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:

Mental Hyu;ene for Detectives.

"For the first time in the history

by the experience of England and
France in the present war, the sur
geon general was impelled to inaugu-
rate an elaborate organization, both
in number and plan, to take care of
any mental disturbances detected in
the camps or among the soldiers dur
ing the war. This is a distinct tnno-

FRANCE. AND BELGIUM
GET AMERICAN SUGAR

Ninety-five per cent. Oh all refined
sugar sent from the United States to
the Allied nations went to France and
Belgium during the first five months
of this year.
France got y per cent, or nearly
81, 100000 pounds, and Belgium receiv-
ed nearly 100000 pounds, or % per
cent.
In each country this sugar was doled
out by strict rationing organization.
The entire amount to the Allies in
these five months-23, 791 tons, almost
half Of which was shipped in Nays
only about one-half of per cent. of
our total annual consumption.
