War has disturbed the whole worlds sugar supply. It has not only wiped out any available surplus, but it has put all nations on a hand-to- mouth basis.
 The European Allies were the first tofeel the pinch. Before the war, enough sugar was produced on the Con. tinent to supply all Europe. Today, two thirds of this susar-producing area is with in the battle lines.
 England, France and other nations have had to turn elsewhere for a supply of this indispensable food:
 And they came to Cuba the main source upon which the United States depends for its cane sugar. During 1917, Cuba sold and shipped to Europe nearly 1000, 900 tons of raw susar-one-tl1ird of its crop.
 In addition to the normal increase in the consumption of sugar as food in this coun. try, the nationwide move ment to save the fruit crop last season greatly increased its use.
 But this increased con. sumption of sugar has been a real factor in combating { waste. It enabled the Ameri. can housewife to add to the store of the food of the ra- ton at a time when fruits and vegetables were plenti- full and cheap.
 The sugar is not only in the fruit jar, but it has carried into the pantr;es of the coun- try a vast supply of fruit and vegetables which would otherwise have been lost. Sugar itself is not only a food, but it is also the great pre- server of other foods.
 As the demand for sugar grew, both here and abroad. Cuba's supply was exhausted last fall. Every available ton in Porto Rico and other cane sugar countries was ac. quired. But this was not enough. and the shortage : came.

NORTHERN FRANCE
 FRONT UNCHANGED
[RepubIiean A. ?. Leased WireJ

LONDON. March 24.-There was no material change in the situation in the battle front in northern France throughout the night, although further fighting occurred at a number of points, the war offices announced to- day. British troops are holding the line of the Somme river to Perenne.
 Small enemy parties which attempt ed to cross the river in the neighbor- hood of Pargny were driven back.
 Northward from the Somme at Per onne the British troops are holding their position after beating off num- Der of attacks during last night.
 The text of the statement reads:
 There has been no material change in the situation on the battle front during the night, although further fighting has taken place at a number of points,
 Our troops are holding the line of the Somme river to Peronne. Small parties of the enemy which endeavored to cross in the neighborhood of Pargny were driven back.
 "On our right we are in touch with the French, and to the north of the river Somme at Peronne our troops hold their positions. after beating off a number of attacks on different DOT tions of this front during the early part of the night.

 In yesterdays bombardment, 24 shots in all were fired from 7;20 a. m. to 3 o'clock p. m,, a shill driven every 20 minutes. The bombardment presented all the characteristics of a lombard ment by heavy artillery, there being regular intervals between the shells and the shells falling within a re- stficted area. Enemy aviators, flying high over the city during the early hours of the bembardment, regulated the firing,
 Different Warning Used
 The government has decided that the bembardment of Paris by long distance guns shall not interrupt the normal life of the capital, but that the population shall be warned of the bombardment by distinctive means, differing from the usual warning for an air raid.
 Drums will be beaten and the police will sound whistles. The public serv- ice, the subway trains, the tramway and the automobile busses will con- tinue to be operated normally.
 The new warning is to be known as warning number g." It will mean that any formation of crowds in the streets is prohibited and that all shelters ex- cept the tubeway station will be open.
 The beginning of any kind of a raid will be announced as before by a spe- cial trumpet call and the ringing of church bells.

LONDON, March 24-An official report of the aerial operations say that 54 enemy airplanes have been brought down.
 The text of the statement reads:
 The enemys low flying airplancs were most persistent in their attacks on our infantry in the forward areas. Many of these machines were attacked and brought down by our pilots. A to- tai of 29 hostile machines were brought down and 25 others were driven down out of control. Two enemy balloons also were destroyed. Nine of our ma chimes are missing.
 Mannheim Get 1t Again
 Our machines on Saturday carried out another most successful raid on factories in Mannheim. Nearly one and half tons of bombs were dropped, and bursts were seen on a soda factory, the railway and docks.
 Several fires were started, one of which was of great size, with flames reaching to a height of 200 feet and smoke to five thousand feet, The con- flagration was visible for a distance of 35 miles.
 During the night ten heavy bombs were bropped on an important railway bridge and works at Kong, just south of Treves, in Germany. Eight of these bombs were clearly seen to be bursting among the railway works.
 Attacked by 32 Planes
 "Our bombing airplanes were at- tackled by 32 hostile machines and a fierce fight ensued. One of the enen,y's airplanes was brought down in flames and another was downed and fell in the center of Mannheim. Five others were driven down out of control.
 Despite this severe combat and the enemys heavy anti-aireraft gunfire. all our machines returned except two,"
 Bombs Dropped by Ton "Nearly two tons of bombs were dropped from low heights on a hostile airdome south of Metz. Six bombs were seen to burst among the hangars and to set fire to some of the huts of the airdromes. All our machines returned.
 From nightfall until early morning our night flying squadrons bombed areas on the battle front in which hos tile troops were concentrated, as well as enemy ammunition dumps and large guns. More than IA tons of bombs were again dropped by our machines, two and a half tons of which were loosed on the docks at Bruges. All our machines returned."'

 WASHINGTON, March 24.-The German offensive, says the war de. partments weekly eommunique, issued today, proves that the German militar- lsts, no longer able to control the German people by political maneuver, have been forced to attempt a gigantic Leat of arms to maintain their demi- nation.
 While the great attack has been able to make no headway no definite en- veloping movement has been outlined, the communique says, and it would be -remature to express opinions on tht tactical phases with a combat situa- tion inevitably changing in battle of such magnitude.
 The assault launched by the Ger mans against the British front has re- opened the fighting season in the west" says the communique.
 Desperate Military Venture
 This operation confirms to us that the German higher command, unable to control the strategic situation through political aseA,les, as ilas been upceasingly attempted during the past four months, has been forced to engage in a desperate military venture in an effort to retain it's domination over the peoples of the central em- pires, and, if possible, force a yictori- ous peace by the fortune of arms. The German attack began With a brief but overwhelming artillery bom- bardment with high explosive and gas shells, at dawn on March 21, in the rolling country north of the Disc, 94 ] miles northeast of Paris.
 From Croisilles, south to Vendeuil distance of 47 miles, the Germans 1 concentrated this preliminary barrage | in which a number of Austrian bat teries participated.
 | Much Artillery Is Used At the same time hostile artillery was active in the Pres+ La Bassee re- zion.
 "The German infantry divisions thereupon advanced to the attack along the Hanks of the salient in front ol Cambrai, furious fighting continues or the northern flank between Croisilles | Bullecourt and Lagnicourt; on thf southern along the line Gouzeaucourt- Haricourt- LeYergieu and ending acres. the Crozat canal to beyond La Fere.
 The British forces are heavily en- gagged. While the Germans have beer able to make headway no definite en- veloping movement is yet outlined.
 Tt would be premature to expres. an opinion regarding the tactiea phases of the operations now takins place. We must expect further ehange in the combat situation, which ar inevitable in battle of such magni tude.
 Enemy Casualties Heavy
 Enemy casualties have been exceed ingly heavy,
 Our own forces in training in LOT raine are still holding onto tn trenches northeast of Badonvillel which were captured last week. In thi region our artillery is continuing t batter the German lines and a mum Der of scouting parties. which hay penetrated the German positions re port that enemy works have been con siderably damaged.
 Tn our sector north of Foul, ou artillery has successfully bombarde enemy works and billets behind thei lines.
 Simultaneous with the German of fensive operations in the west we not further hostile activity in Italy, whic may be the prelude of an offensiy in this theater."

AMERICANS DENIED
 PASSAGE THROUGH
 LINE FROM FINLAND
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

STOCKHOLM, Friday, March 22.-- The envoy sent by Minister Morris to General Mannerheim, the White Guard leader in Finland, in an effort to make arrangements by which the Americans in southern Finland could get through the line of the contending armies, has reported that General Mannerheim re- fused to consider the requests of the allied enyoys. The general offered to send an airplane to drop letters from the allied ministers into the Red Guards territory but flatly refused to have any barley with the Red conn., mand, to grant the requested 24 arm istice, or even to send an officer with bugler to escort the allied emissaries.
 Awaiting Development
 General Mannerheim further inform ed the American, British and French envoys that the military situation was such that it might be a month before they could reach their countrymen in the Red Guard territory. The envoys returned to vasa from the headquar ters in Hapaamaki, and are awaiting developments there.
 The protect against the arrest of Professor Henry c. Emery, an Amer ican and of Englishmen by the Ger mans on the Aland islands has been delivered, but apparently it has not been answered. Nor has the minister received any answer from M. Gripen- berg, the Finnish minister at Stock holm, to his protest against Professor Emery's arrest.

JAPAN CONSIDERS PROBLEM OF GOING
 INTO EAST SIBERIA
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wire]


 TOXIC, March 24.-The interest in America and Europe in the possibility of Japanese military intervention in the war is duplicated in Japan, where the question of the dispatch of an army to Siberia not only overshadows ev- erything else, but has created a na- tional problem not approached in inn portance since the usso-Japanese war. The correspondent, in this con- nection, is reliably informed that Jap an, after the frankest exchange of views with the allies. is still studying the question and has not decided upon its policy.
 Representative opinion among the Japanese regards the situation as seri- ous and as fraught with possibilities of danger to the safety and national interests of Japan, as well as to the cause of the allies. The chaos in Si- beria, with battles between opposing factions on the border of Manchuria, is regarded as made more sinister by the presence of 10000 German and Austrian prisoners who are virtually at liberty, and by recent accounts that German officers have been seen in the ranks fighting with the bolsheviki.
 Makes Naval Preparations
 It is announced that the Japanese navy is making careful preparations to meek the possibility of the Germans transporting submarines to the Paci- fife. The two Japanese warships at Vladivostok. it is pointed out, could land marines in the event of danger to the lives and property to the Japanese. The fact that several Japanese were among the killed and wounded in the recent Siberian engagements has en- couraged the press more vigorously to urge governmental action.
 In Japan the war has created grave question by the steady rise in the price of food and other necessaries, causing increasing hardships to the masses.

FLAGSTAFF, March 24.-In regard to the proposed removal of Superin- gendent k. H. Blonc of the North ern Arizona normal, State Senator Hugh Campbell, who arrived here to- day, after spending the winter in Phoenix, says, "The loyalty of br. Blome has already been tried. Go to the normal school and you will see the large service flag there and then con= slider the fact that all those boys whe left the school to serve their country under the personal influence of Dr, Bleme. It is a known fact that many of the boys, who volunteered, did so with the encouragement and adViee of their principal, Dr. Blome.'
 Col. Fred S. Breen states that he personally attended a mecsing of the boys at the normal at which Recruit ing Officer LaBarron was present and at which pr. Blome gave his approval and encouragement to the boys to en- list for service to their country.
 George H. Crosby, Jr., of the su- perior court of Apache county, who is now in Flagstaff says, If an eminent educator of this state has been put cut of office on account of charges of dis loyalty we want to know them and find them out. This cannot be done without a hearing and the hearing must be public one, held in Flag staff and before an impartial commis- sion. We believe that the trouble re- suits over personal trouble, and U should not wreck an institution of learning without a fair and just hear ing. We wish to ask those who are circulating the petitions to not dis continue the work because of the fact that hearing has been granted In regard to a statement made by Governor Hunt few days ago that Dr. Blome had to hide out" for a few days last spring on account of some trouble at the school, Judge Crosby says, .Dr. Blome did not hide out but merely went to Winslow one evening, returning early next morning, in order 1 to save the school and the city of Flagstaff from probable disgrace. On certain occasion a class flag was displayed on the grounds. as is eusto- mary when certain class wins vic tory in athletics and it was reported by certain people that this flag was
