 Our Situation.
 The situation which the United States faces in it's efforts to maintain fair distribution of sugar to the Al lied world is as follows:
 Sugar supplies throughout the coun- try, in homes, stores, factories and bakeries are at low ebb. We must make increased sugar shipments to the Allies.
 Production of American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap- pointing.
 Porto Rico crops have been cur tailed.
 Immense sugar stocks in Java can not be reached on account of the ship ping shortage; ships are needed for troop movements and munitions.
 Army and Navy sugar requirements have increased as well as those from the Allies.
 Most industries using sugar have had their allotment reduced by One-half some will receive no sugar
 Households should make every eff fort to preserve the fruit crop without sugar, or with small amounts of sugar Later, when the sugar supply is larg CT, the canned fruit may be. sweeteneC as it is used.

 (Associated Press War Summary.)
 The allied success in Picardy ap- parently has compelled the Germans to realign their positions between Albert and Arras. The enemy is re- ported to be relying on five mile front. The extent of the withdrawal is not clearly defined and the effect of the situation is on the whole prob lematical Between the Ancre and Disc fighting is confined to local ac- tions. The allies have improved po- sitions slightly north of the Somme, northwest of Rove, south of Lassig- ny and along the Disc. North of the Somme the Australians have reached the outskirts of Bray, one of the main lines south of Albert. East of Parville and northwest of Rove the British made progress toward the Chaulleus- Rove railroad. Lassigny still holds out but the French are now little more than mile south of the town. Since the allies took the mi tiative on the west side of the Marne salient a month ago they have re- claimed 1900 square miles of terri tory and freed the important railway running east and west of Paris, and, according to unofficial reports, have captured seventy-three thousand prisoners and seventeen hundred guns.
