CUTS SUGAR RATION
Food Administration Reduces Al
loWanCe to Two Pounds.
Step Taken Is Necessary to Insure
Supply for American Military
Forces.

Washington, July 27.-The food ad-
ministration requests the American
public to go on sugar ration of two
pounds per capita monthly beginning
August l to meet world shortage in
this commodity and care for the inn
uiediate demands of the Allies and the
American military forces.
The American public at present Is
on three-pound per capita ration
monthly, under request issued by the
food administration a month ago.
Household ratioDing will be volun-
tary as at present, but public eating
places will be required to observe new
regulations permitting the use of two
pounds of sugar for every so meals
served, instead of three pounds as now.
Unless the consumption Of sugar is
reduced by householders and the pub
lie generally, the food administration
warns In an appeal made, supplies for
Belgium, the Red Cross, Y. Nj. G. A.,
Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army
and other organizations working for
the welfare of American military
forces in Europe, cannot be main
tanned.
The statement says that, while sugar
Is often used as a luxury in America,
it has become an essential element for
the success of the war among the ma.
tions of Europe.

Be Hampered.

Washington, July 27.-The Ship
building Board, In the face of a threat
ened strike of seamen on the Great
Lakes, which would tie up the trans
portation of iron ore, coal and wheat
essential to the war program, has is
sued a statement informing the public
Of every step in the controversy and
declaring the board docs not feel that
there are any grievances to justify a
strike at this time"
kilograms were sent to the Sailors
Union and the marine firemen, oilers
and water tenders union, pointing out
the disastrous effects which a strike
would have upon the country and its
consequent effect on the prosecution of
the war.
Chairman Hurley signed the state
ment because the strike resolution was
so worded as to make the board a
party to the controversy.
I'm issuing this statement" Mr.. Hur.
ley said, ''the shipping board has gone
fully into the grievances mentioned in
the joint strike resolution because of
the grave menace to the national
safety involved In strike on the Great

In Personal Statement to Coun.
trymen, President Asks That
Order Be Preserved.
IS STRONG AID TO FOE
America Must Show World Democ-
racy 1t Seeks to Apply in Other
Lands Is Observed as Peo-
pies Will at Home.

Washington, July 27. - President
Wilson, in a personal statement to his
fellow countrymen, denouncing mob
spirit and mob action, calls upon the
nation to show the world that while
it fights for democracy on foreign
fields it is not destroying democracy
at home. The president referred not
alone to mob action against those sus-
pected of being enemy sympathizers.
He denounced mob action of all sorts,
especially lynchings, and while he did
not refer specifically to lynchings Of
negroes, it is known he included them
in his characterization of mob spirit
as "a blow at the heart of ordered law
and humane Justice" Lynchings of
suspected of being enemies or foe
sympathizers, have been used by the
German propaganda throughout Gen.
trail and South America as we'll as in
Europe to contend that the preten-
sions of the United States as a cham
pion of democracy are a sham. Deep
ly concerned, the president decided
to address his countrymen and to de-
clare that every mob contributes to
German lies about the United States
what her most gifted liars cannot i'm
prove upon by way of calumny"
The statement concludes:
have called upon the nation to put
its great energy into this war and IL
has sponded-responded with a
spirit and genius for action that has
thrilled the world. l now call upon it.,
upon its men and women everywhere,
to see to it that its laws are kept in

show our utter contempt for the
things that have made this war hide
Gus among the wars of history by
showing how those who love liberty
and right and justice and are willing
to lay down their lives for them upon
foreign fields stand ready also to illus
trate to all mankind their loyalty to
the things at home which they wish to
see established everywhere as bless
ing and protection to the peoples who
have never known the privileges Of
liberty and self-government.
can never accept any man as a
champion of liberty either for our
selves or for the world who does not

own beloved land, whose laws we our
selves have made. He has adopted
the standards of the enemies of his
country, whom he affects to despise" /"

Both laws of General Foch's
Gigantic Pincers Are Nov
ing Very Smoothly.
HARD BATTLE RAGING
Germans Do Not Intend to Be En-
trapped Without Fighting and Are
Throwing Thousands More Men
Into Congested Salient.

London, July 27.-The Allied armies
conducting the gigantic pocketing
movement against the German crown
prices forces in the Soissons-Rheims
salient have been reinforced by Gen.
eral Foch.
Both jaws of the pincer are moving
smoothly, with the pivot along the
Marne working in unison, and the pro,
cess of attempting to capture many
of the nearly half a million Germans
in the big pocket is well on the way
to what at present seems like possible
success.
The Germans, however, evidently do
not intend to permit themselves to be
entrapped without fighting. Having
into the already congested salient, they
have started a counter attack of great
violence all along the semi-circular
front from the Ourcq river to the re-
gion Immediately southwest of Rheims,
and their men are said to have orders
to stem the Allied tide of advance at
all costs.
Allies Steadily Pressing On.
Nevertheless at last accounts the
Americans, French, British and Italian
troops, themselves well reinforced to
meet the new turn in affairs, were
steadily pressing forward at nearly all
points on the battle line to Rheims,
while east of the cathedral city a
Polish contingent-the first of the
Poles to enter the combat--is declared
to have carried out successfully an en-
terpfise against the enemy in which
more than 200 Germans were made
prisoners.
The western jaw of the pincer con.
tinues to move eastward along the
Ourcq river, on both sides of the
stream, and the Franco-American
troops now are virtually knocking at
the gates of Fere-en-Tardenois, the i'm.
portant railway junction and store
house for Germany's war supplies
Further south on the Marne new ad
vances have been attained.
Rheims-F ismes Line Threatened.
North of the Marne, midway between
Chateau Thierry and Rheims, the
French have extended their line north
ward in the forest of Fere, in the Ris
forest and north of Dormans, while
the eastern jaw of the pincer, under
pressure of the British, has moved for
ward in a northwesternly direction for
about mile and half over three
mile front to Mery-Premecy and Gueux,
the last named village five miles west
of Rheims, and a scant mile and half
from the Rheims-Fismes road. At
Mery-Premecy the Allied line now
stands about ten and half miles
southeast of Fismes. which is the cen
trail station on the railway running be-
tween Scissors and Rheims.
For week and a day the Allied
troops have hammered against the
Soissons-Rheims salient until its width
across between the cities has been
narrowed to about 81 miles from an
original width of 81 miles, while the
triangular salient has been welded
into semi-circular cul-de-sac. Over
the entire pocket the Allied artillery
continues to rain shells from all sides
and airmen are keeping up their in
tensive bombing of troop formations
and military works.

Unless differences are adjusted by

The situation Is a result of the ac-
ton taken at Leeds when delegates

voted to strike unless the embargo on
labor was withdrawn.

deadlocked. The government is refus
