drives two stakes into the ground,
about five feet apart. Across these
Stakes he stretches a curtain made out
of empty sandbags ripped open. He
soaks this curtain In water and fires
through 1t. The water prevents 1t
catching fire and effectively screens
the flare of the firing gun from the
enemy.
Sound Is n valuable asset In locating
a machine gun, but Tommy surmounts
this obstacle by placing two machine
guns about one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty yards apart. The gun
on the right to cover with Its fire the
sector of the left gun and the gun on
the left to cover that of the right
gun. This makes their fire cross; they
are fired simultaneously.
By this method 1t sounds like one
gun firing and gives the Germans the
impression that the gun is firing from
point midway between the guns
which are actually firing, and they ac-
cordlngly shell that particular spot
The machine gunners chuckle and say,
Fritz is brainy boy, not 'alf he
amt"
But the men In our lines at the spot
being shelled curse Fritz for his igno-
rance and pass a few pert remarks
down the line In reference to the ma
chine gunners being "windy" and
afraid to take their medicine.

THE SUGAR SITUATION

America, which made exports OF

is called upon to exercise like virtue

The burden of maintaining Allied

sugar territory is oyerrun by German
! armies; French sugar mills are taken
and destroyed Subarmine sinkIngs
and losses by battle have cost us
great stores: labor shortage makes
inroads on production. For England
the allowance is two pounds of sugar
a month; for France, one pound LOT
italy. one pound America seeks 10
share equally with all who sit at the
common table. joined in the common
defense.
The sugar campaign comes on US
suddenly. Revised accounts OF losses
and resources and new statement or
needs which We are in honor bound
to meet compel a sharp change in
program We must act quickly-What
is not well begun in the next SIX
weeks will not be done at all. The
success of this program rests on the
honor and cooperation of the Ameri-
can people. What are they doing
now? We hear of people going from
store to store, trying to double their
portion over and over. They don't
realize they are trying to beat the
game That is failure Of the pro
gram.

Would we do it if it WAS 10 share with

stricken neighbors across the sea? We
can if we will. We will if we real

background of the wheat campaign
was six months building, but the sug-

six weeks-or fail II is the second
