NO CHRISTMAS CANDY EMBARGO
BY THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION

Christmas candy will not be re-
stricted by the Food Administration.
Many candy stores, in accordance
with a voluntary sugar conservation
plan undertaken upon the initiative
of the trade itself. have been refus-
ing to sell more than l pound at
time to q customer. This restriction
is not regarded by the Food Admin
istration as a necessary conservation
measure this holiday season. since
the sugar shortage has been mater
tally relieved.
Different this Year.
Last year the Nation faced SER
ious sugar shortage at Christmas
time, and the manufacturers were
allowed to use only 80 per cent of
their normal requirements of sugar.
This brought about a candy shortage,
and the Food Administration was at
that time asking people as a pat
riotic conservation measure to hold
candy consumption to the minimum

tanned little or no sugar.
No Action to Limit Sales
The Food Administration has new
er taken any action which would limit
manufacturers sales to individual
customers. Several of the CONNECTION
ers' associations, however. have pass
ed resolutions requesting their men,
bers to sell not more than one pound
to customer, unless it is for ship.
ment to soldiers overseas. While
the Food Administration has never
participated in any Of these measures
during the sugar stringency, it re-
garded them as valuable aids to con-
servation. The need for sugar saw
ing in this direction however. has
passed. and the Food Administration
this year will not ask that the Christ
mas purchases be limited.

CUT DOWN ON SUGAR
Ii People Abuse Present Privileges
Drastic Measures Will be Taken,
Food Administration Declares.

Hartford, July 20.-A reduction in
the sugar ration per person and for
each enterprise which has been re-
curing largo quantities impends
during August, according to a state
ment from the Office Of the federal
food administrator today. This opin-
ion is based upon q telegram just in
from Washington. The reduction de-
ponds on reports from regional offices
of the food administration as to the
demand for sugar and the supply
given in July.
Retailers will be given notice to be
extremely careful about issuance of
canning cards because there has been
abuse here and elsewhere of this fea-
ture of the conservation plan. Re-
tailers are expected to watch their
own customers and see that in pro
tecting all with a supply that re
peaters'' do not abuse the privilege
and get more than the stated two
pounds per person per month. Other
wise the allowance is apt to be cut
below two pounds.

Washington Awaits Details.

Washington, July 2O.-Navy de-
partment officials today awaited more
detailed reports of the sinking yester-
day of the United States armored
cruiser San Diego off the Long Island
coast, near the entrance to New York
harbor. Two facts were to be estab-
lished, the cause of the vessels de-
struction and the number of men
lost if any. Reports received at an
early hour today contained few de-
tails, and in the meantime officials
refused to venture an opinion as to
the possibility of the vessel having
been a victim of German submarines.
In many quarters there was a feel
ing that. the cruiser was sunk bv a
drifting mine or by on internal ex-
plosion, despite reported statements
of survivors that what appeared to be
a periscope was sighted. On the
other hand, many officials were In

TO RAISE RATES
Trolley Express Charges VIII Be Adj
Notwithstanding Costs Are In
crcsing.-WiH Present Petition.

The several subsidiary companies
having contracts with the Connecticut
company, for hauling eXpressage by
trolleys will petition the public utilities
commission next week for authority
to advance the present rates. Accord
ing to reports the advance in the rates
will be about 33 IL per cent. over
the present charges. Local traffic men
could not be reached this afternoon
to get confirmation of the report.
If the public utilities commission al
lows the extra charge it will be eff
fective immediately.
When the petition is presented the
express managers will be prepared to
submit schedules showing the in
creased cost in hauling the freight.
The higher wages is one of the causes
for better prices. Operating expenses
are greater on account of the power
increase of cost. The advance Of cost
for hay and oats for horses used in

GERMAN PAPER IS
AGAINST MARRIAGE
Docs Not Think Won Bernstorff's Son
Should Take American Girl
as His Bride.

Correspondence Of the Asso. Press.)
Amsterdam, June 3O.-Bismark' s
injunction that German diplomatic
representatives abroad should not
marry any but German wives ought to
be revived, says the Koelnische Volks
Zeitung in al article which strongly
disapproves of the union of Count
Won Bernstorffs son with Marguerite
Vivienne Burton Thomas, of Burling-
ton n. ]. and even more SO of the mar
riage of his father, the former ambas-
sador in Washington.
The latter's conduct, both before
and after the beginning of the war
and until America joined in, has, it
says, shown many strange vagaries
which would be incomprehensible but
for the fact that his wife, Jeanne
Luckemeyer, was an American
woman.
The Volks zeitung holds that the
Bismarkian dictum chat a German
ambassador or minister who marrier
a foreign wife should leave the SER
vice should be strictly observed 1t
further says that the service must be
overhauled and reorganized on a
broader basis. Sweeping changes
must be introduced and many ira
ditions of the old school must be
thrown overheard.
