If Thiel expected that all would be
forgiven and that his journey would
end in q lovers meeting he was disap-
pointed. His reception by his wife was
cool. The children, however, were more
lenient and 1t is through their hearts
that Thiel is seeking TO win back the

pending his banishment, is the guest of
his married daughter, Mrs. Robert

NEW CUT IN SUGAR RATION
Householder Urged to Limit Con
sumption to Two Pounds for
Each Person a Month.

Washington, July 27.-The sugar
ration in the households from Aug
/ to Jan. l will be cut to two pounds
a person month by the United
States Food Administration in order
to assure a sufficient supply for our
allies. England is now on the same
basis; France allows a maximum of
one pound and half, and the Ital-
ian ration has been reduced to about
one pound.
The new American ration will cut
one pound a person each month from
the household schedule, and the
people are asked to accept it volun-
tarily. The two-pound limit will in
clude all sugar used on the table
and in cooking. Orders also are to
be issued governing public eating
places, and limiting the use of sugar
to two pounds for every ninety meals
srved.
"The Food administration, a
statement issued read, lis confident
that the American public will hear
tily agree to reduce the household
use of sugar here to level more
nearly equal to the present restric-
tions among the people Of the Al
lies, provided our people clearly COM
prehend that sugar, which with us
is often used in great measure as
a luxury, has become an essential
element for the success of the war
among the nations of Europe.
upon our action here depends
the possibility of maintaing the ra-
ton to our own fighting men and
those OF the Allies, as we'll as of
avoiding a still further reduction of
the allotments to the civil popula-
tions of the nation fighting Germany,
which are already down to point

AMERICAS WONDERFUL MARKS
MANSHIP

The craftsmanship of the Ameri-
cans has aroused the enthusiastic ad-
miration of the officers of the allied
armies who are in the United States
and our boys have been highly prais-
ed by English, French and Italians,
who have been serving as Instructors
at various training camps and prov
ing grounds.
"A short time ago visited one Of
the camps in the East where men
from almost every section were train
ing" remarked T. r. Thomas, New
York guardsman, at the Washington
Washington. "The boys had been put
through instruction by French Of
ficer with particular application, ~
course to the methods of warfare
now in us on the western front.
Among the men who were showing
what they could do handling a gun
was a tall, lanky North Carolina
mountaineer. This fellow impressed
the French officer by his accurate
firing. At distance of 90 yards the
mountaineer is said to have hit the
bulls eye 46 times out of a possible
so times, performance which aston
ished the Frenchman The latter
took occasion to compliment the Tar
heel, declaring that his marksman-
ship was marvellous.

MUST WORK OR FIGHT
ON OR AFTER SEPT.1

Washington, July 27.-Profession-
al baseball players were given until
September l to seek essential EN-
ployment or be called to the colors
in an order issued by Secretary Baker
today, denying the application of the
national baseball commission that
the effective time for the work OF
fight regulations as they apply to the
baseball indrstuy be extended to Oc-
tober Is.
The secretary said that the limited
extension time was given because Of
the representation made theat base
ball players may have been put in a
less favorable attitude than others
affected by the regulations because OF
their reliance on his statement that
the question of their inclusion in the
terms of the order would not be de-
cided until a case had arisen. He
made it plain however, that the war
department is interested, solely in
the strengthening f the nations mil
itary forces as the winning af the war
is regarded as the first consideration
Provost Marshal General Crowder
Mr.. Baker said, had reported that il
was not clear to him that the game
would have to be discontinued even
if the order were made Immediately
applicable as only 237 major league
players would be affected.

New York, July 27.-The support
