With the British Armies in the

fighting proceeding at many points,
the general situation on the British
front has changed little during the

North of the .Somme the night was

casualties have been rather heavy as
the result Of fighting in the region Of

The enemy attacked locally during

War and Sugar

Before the war, England imported praeti-
eally all Of its sugar from Germany, Austria
and far-away Java. France produced all the
sugar it needed, and had some to export. Italy
supplied itself.
The war abruptly shut off En&land's supply
Of sugar from Central Europe. The armies Of
Europe have overrun the beet fields Of
Northern France Belgium, Poland and Russia
Today the battle lines encircle the vast sugar
beet area Of the Central Powers About one
third Of the worlds former production IS un-
available to the European Allies.
Evening star., 1918-01-10

available to the LufOp
The main sources Of avail
able sugar for the United
States and the Allies are mar
rowed down to the West
Indies principally Cuba),
Hawaii. the Philippines,
Louisiana, and the sugar-beet
fields Of the Middle West.
Cuba has now increased its
production Of sugar cane, but
ENGLAND, France and other
foreign countries perforce
have increased their impor-
tations Of sugar from Cuba.
There is an abundance Of
sugar in far-away Java. It is
as useless to the world as
unmined gold, because no ma
ton can spare the ships to
carry it.
This country and Europe
could only procure sugar
from Java by using ships
badly needed to carry Ameri-
-an troops and supplies to
rance.
t takes $50 days for a cargo
..p travelling at the rate Of
200 miles a day to 80 from
England to Java and return,
counting in the loading and
disehar&inG at both ends.
The same ship travelling be-
tween New York and France
takes 50 days for a round trip.
Therefore the same ship
can make three round trips
between New York and
France while it is making
one round trip between EnG-
land and Java.
The competition among ma
tions for Cuban raw sugar has
forced up its price, with a
necessary corresponding in
crease in the cost Of refined
sugar. This competition has
now been overcome by the
combined efforts Of the
United States Food Admin
istration, the Allied Govern
ments, and all elements Of
the sugar industry.
In the midst Of such abnor-
NAL conditions. this Company
has done everything within
itspower, in cooperation with
the Government. to provide
an even distribution Of sugar
to consumers at the lowest
possible price.
In constant effort to stabi-
lie the price, we have even
sold sugar at less than market
prices for some time at a
full cent a pound below the
market.
Last February and March
there were severe strikes In
the fefineries Of this and other
companies. But in the face Of
the new problems thus Great

The supply Of raw sugar in
the early summer gave evi.
dence Of being enough for all
needs.
But the rate Of consump-
ton had increased. An extra
$50, 600, 600 pounds were re-
quired to meet the needs Of
the people from June UP to
November.
You can't eat your cake
and have It too"
A part Of this increased de.
mand for sugar was due to the
nationwide save the fruit
crop movement. The sugar
thus used IS not gone. Il is

and jam jar instead Of the
sugar bowl.
Sugar has sold in the United
States throughout the wat at
an average price lower than
in any other country. Il Is
one Of the cheapest foods the
nation has.
Admittedly one Of the rea.
sons for this brilliant show
ing, in view Of changed world
conditions. has been the fact
that the domestic cane fefin-
ing industry is in large units.
Il IS q noteworthy tribute
to the domestic refining In
dustry which will be better
appreciated the more the
events Of the last two years
are studied.
Domino Package Sugars
have been Of great value in
the wider and more even
distribution Of sugar.
A barrel holds $50 pounds
Of loose sugar. all Of which
usually 9oes to one Srocer.
It has been possible to ship
practically the same amount
Of package sugar in three
12O-pound cases to three
different Srocers.
The grocer has been able
to handle these Domino Cane
Sugars already packaSed in
cartons and small cotton
bags, thus tending to check
hoardins.
It will be necessary for
Grocers and consumers to
watch carefully their distri-
button and purchases during
the approaching period Of re-
adjustment.
Housewives can cooperate
with this plan by buying
Domino Package Sugars.

1919. There is some question whether billet and bar mill capacity as at pres ent operated. win be sufficient to meet this demand.
 Another point of interest is whether the present shell forging capacity is ad- equate to all needs. That advantage is to be taken of Canadas facilities in this regard is indicated by award of 115 coo tons for that country The tagging in shipbuilding has not been due in any measure to lack of steel in yards. This is not to, be charged to the mills. Statis. tics of the steel director show that more ship plates were rolled in the first quar- ter than were required by builders.
 Te call upon government by consum- CTS to supply them with pig iron, which they find themselves unable to buy in open market, continues to grow The situation in this regard has reached the point where it is involving private obl- cations of furnaces and this has forced consideration to be given to new meth eds of allocation. Heretofore orders for the government have been distributed and accepted by furnaces largely on loyalty basis.
