BIG NAVAL BAND TO
 GIVE CONCERT HERE
MUSICAL ORGANIZATION OF 30 PIECES WILL BE IN MARlANNA AT 9:2o O'CLOCK ON TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER I.

A detachment of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station Band of which Lieut. John Phillip Sousa, the March King" is director, will visit Marianna on Tuesday, October 1, at 9:20 a. m, and will remain here two hours. The band will give con. cert in the city park.
 This band will consist of thirty trained musicians, and a concert will be given during the stay in the city, which will necessarily be brief, in as much as the Liberty Loan Organiza- tion for the Eighth Federal Reserve District, under whose auspices the tour is being made, is seeking to have as many points visited as pos sible. The success of the Great Lakes bands on their tours during the Third Liberty Loan campaign was remarkable, and there is an in. sistent demand for it's return.
 The band is scheduled to arrive here at 9:20 o'clock, a. m., and the concert will be given immediately after the band reaches the city.
 This announcement, it is expected. will result in a large crowd from the surrounding country and neigh boring cities visiting Ntarianna on the date of the concert.

NO LIABILITL FOR
LUSITANIA'S Loss

New York, Aug. 25.--The Cunard
Steamship Company cannot be held
liable for the loss of life and property
in the topedoing of the Lusitania by
a German submarine, according to a
decision handed down in the admi-
rality branch of the United States
district court by Judge Mayer, and
made public today.
"The cause of the sinking of the
Lusitana was the illegal act of the
imperial German government, acting
through it's instrument, the submarine
commander" declared Judge Mayer,
who held that "the fault therefore,
must be laid upon those who are re-
sponsible for the sinking of the vessel
in the legal as well as moral sense"
In dismissing suits against the Gu
nard line aggegating from nealy ST.
100000 brought by heirs of persons
who persisted with the Lusitania May
7, 1915, Judge Mayer asserted: at is
not to be doubted that the United
States of America and her Allies will
remember the rights of those of al
fected by the sinking of the Lusita-
MIA and when the time shall come will
see to it that reparation shall be made
for the one of the most indefensible
acts of modern times"

GEORGIA TO GET
FALL SUGAR SUPPLY

Atlanta, Ca, August 24-Georgia
has topped the list of states on food
cooperation record several times
|.5ince the war started 1t continues,
as a state, to do so. Georgia is on
dead level with her sugar score
she has kept good faith with the
country. Georgia, therefore, will get
clear September allotment whhn
the time comes without delay. Some
of the states will not. New York,
for instance, has lived ahead of the
game.-the August limit has been
gone over. The result will be de-
duction in September of the August
excess and the control board says mo
appeal.
The sugar shortage is still acute
and tire in no sign of immediate re-
lief. The beet supply will not begin
moving for another month and it will
probably be November before any
relief is possible The United States
Food ADMINISTRATION issued motto
that the reduced August figures must
stand for September, and that there
was no use for individual pleadings
and appeals for revision. Also there
in no place for new business in the
restricted program. The enforced
conservation of sugar has increased
the temptation to profit upon those
eager to obtain more than the small
but sufficient quantity PERMITTED.
The public, however, is in this case
amply able to protect itself by mere
ly cooperating with the Food Ad-
nNnlStratlon. because Mr.. Hoover
department is represented on the in
ternational 'ommitte, which is the
largest purchaser Of sugar in the
world, it is able to regulate prices
and profit from the factory to the
table Retail dealers are feld to a
profit of 1 cent a pound, and as the
Wholesale prices lie below cent even
tranpOrta"i0n hauling and handling
costs in the most isolated sections
should hot force the consumer to
pay much over 8 cent a pound. Some
of the prices which have been excat-
led are plain profiteering and the
name and address of dealer, and the
date and details of the transaction
will enable the Food Administration
to take prompt action.

last year., which is one-sixth more

the United States now has to supply
a number of neutral countries with

as much as last years output to take
