U. S. MUST MAKE GOOD
SHORTAGE IN SUGAR CROP

When Tennyson wrote of The
Charge of the Light Brigade Theirs
not to reason why" he used a motto
that holds good in any army but is too
undemocratic to be used in the rela-
tions between the Food Administration
and the civilian population of the
Z. S. A. Better results are obtained
by making request and backing it up
with the facts. That wise policy
bridged the wheat crisis-and 1t will
bridge the sugar crisis, too,
The amount Of sugar available for
all the Allies was seriously reduced
when the Germans Oyer-ran the beet
fields of Belgium and France and shat
tered scores of refneries. Ships could
not be spared to bring in the far-off
Asiatic supplies. Therefore, the West
indies had to be counted on to supply
not only this continents needs but
also those Of it's European friends.
An International Commission this
spring surveyed the field. Great Brit
ain, France, and Italy were asked to
game their minimum requirements and
he American and Canadian representa-
tives agreed that that should be the
arst charge on the Allied store. What
remained was to be distributed equit-
ably between ourselves and the Ca
uucks.
Unfortunately, the crop failed to
measure up to early estimates-it is

have. There developed q shortage Of
over a quarter million tons which fell,
under the Inter-Allied agreement, upon
The shoulders OF Canada and the States.
Then the submarines got busy and
sank a number of sugar ships; in the
recent drive 1900 tons were lost.
This, too, had to be made good by fur
Their economy on this side of the At
tantic.
A great deal has been used, too. in
the manufacture of condensed milk
and jams for army consumption and
in addition thousands of pounds are
sent over by relatives and friends OF
the "Sammies."
Consequently, the amount available
between now and December Is consid-
ernbly below expectations, though
ample for actual needs.
Wastage and boarding must be
fought tooth and nail. Every house
hold, in common fairness to every
other household, must cut its consump-
ton to the limit, which should not
exceed two pounds per person per
month The boarder will be harrted
and the reporting of Illegal stores is
service to the State. 1t is not upon
primitive measures that dependence is
placed by the Maryland Food Admin
istration, but upon the loyal and intel
ugent cooperation of all good citizens
to show of what stuff democracy is
made

Such a feast as they had Of sum-

were glad to see that the children
hadn't changed their ways even if
they did sometimes sing very silly
songs.
When the farmer got back with his
family and the dog from their picnic
and was looking at his vegetables that
afternoon quite late he said: "Well, it
looks as though the woodchucks had
been here today. But I suppose I
shouldn't blame them so much, for we
had q picnic of our own"
And the woodchucks were saying
what fine day they had had, and
were planning to visit the farm
next time where no one would be on
the lookout for woodchucks who loved

South of the Somme the British
have taken FpucRucourt northwest OF

British troops completed the cap
ture of Trones wood, north OF the
Somme.
Canadian troops in their advance
astride the Scarpe, captured more
than 1000 Germans.
While intermittent fighting contin-
ues virtually everywhere along the
British front, the battle begins to
show signs of slowing up.
The Germans have delivered many
counter attacks along the line, but
none of them really have gained any
thing In virtually every case the
counter attacks have finally had dis
astrous results for the Germans, for
when the British did retire at two or
three places If was only for a brief
period
When reattacked, the Germans not
only lost ground which they thought
they had gained. but they also suffer
ed many casualties.
The principal activity has been in
the region of the river Scarpe where
the British have gained little more
ground. Some of it had not been In
possession of the entente allied troops
since 1911
This is the case at Vis-en-Arteis and
in the surrounding region.

is strongly held by the enemy. but the
British maintained hold on all the
positions in the outskirts of Ba-

There has been further fighting at

British, then lost and later taken
again. The Germans are placing a
large ferce-just to -fne-rx-.+- this
position and are attacking the Pfft-
