PICTURE HOUSES TO
SHOW "AMERICA'S
ANSWER"

An announcement of unusual inter-
est to patriotic motion picture patrons
throughout the United States has just
been made by the Division Of Films,
Committee on Public Information, of
which George Creel is Chairman.
Americas Answer" the second in the
series of Following the Flag to
France" war pictures, which was first
shown at the George M. Cohan Thea
ter in New York, and has since Great.
ed remarkable enthusiasm for distrbu-
ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other
big cities, will be released for distri-
button to the motion picture houses
of the entire country, October IA.
The World Film Corporation has been
selected as the medium for distribut-
ing this important Government film.
This, however, is not the only in
teresting fact in connection with the
release of the new U. S. Official Pic
ture A plan has been evolved by
which even the smallest among the
motion picture theatres can present
"America's Answer" at cost in
keeping with it's income, and without
raising it's prices to the public. The
regular admission price at the theatre
where the picture is shown is the
price that will be charged, and no
more. This will be a distinct gain
to the public.
Undoubtedly a great deal of inter-
est has been aroused in Americas
Answer" and the desire to see this
comprehensive official picture is uni
versal. This interest has been arous-
ed and accenuated in the smaller cit
les by the reception It has received
in the important centers of popula-
ton. Millions of Americans have a
legitimate desire to know just how the
billions of dollars raised for the prose
cution of the war have been expended.
Americas Answer" is comprehen-
sive reply to this query. 1t shows in
an astonishing way what has been ac-
complished behind the lines in France,
and also shows Americas fighters on
the battle front. In New York and
elsewhere soldiers were recognized
on the screen, night after night, and
were the occasion of many a thrill for
parents and sweethearts. This is one
of the ways in which the official films
get very close to the people.
The announcement that America 8
Answer" will shortly be seen in the
smaller cities and in the popular-price
motion picture houses is good news.

population will be selected from the
poorest of the refugees. No family
with less than four children will be

Each cottage will have a garden and
will rent for S. a month. Tenants
who cannot pay will be taken care of

cooperative stores, so popular in Bel
GUM. The cottages are portable and
after the war can be shipped to Bel

SEVERE CANADIAN
SUGAR RESTRICTIONS

Reports that the Canadian Govern
ment is placing no restrictions on the
use of sugar and that citizens of this
country, merely by crossing the bor-
der, may purchase in large amounts,
are emphatically denied by the Unit
ed States Food Administration.
The Canada food board recently is
sued statement calling for reduc-
ton of Canadian sugar consumption
to ~ pounds per person per month
half pound below the "honor ration"
requested in this country by the Unit
ed States Food Administration. All
regulations governing the use or hold
ing or sugar will be rigidly enforced,
the Canadian food board has declared
1t is taking strict measures to prevent
boarding, in most cases imposing a
jail sentence as we'll as heavy fine.
Manufacturers are strictly curtailed
in their use of sugar and householders
are prohibited from purchasing in
quantities of more than the requested
allowance.
Citizens of this country would be
running a serious risk if they attempt
ed to purchase sugar in Canada. AL
though restrictions there are placed
upon the purchaser rather than upon
the retail dealer, severe penalties are
provided for attempted expectation to
the United States without an indi-
vidual export license from the Canad-
ian War Trade Board, which will
grant export licenses only in cases
which meet with the approval of this
Government. Supplementary action,
along this line has been taken by the
United States War Trade Board, which
has prohibited importation without an
individual import license. Persons
attempting to bring sugar from Canada
to tbs country would be faced with
the possibility of heavy fines and jail
sentences should they be apprehended
by the customs authorities of either
country.
In addition to restrictions upon the
manufacturers and limitations upon
household use the Canadian food au
thorities have ruled that no person
shall use more than rs pounds of SUI
gar to 100 pounds of prepared fruit
in the manufacture of canned fruits
for sale. This, of course, does not
apply to jams, jellies or marmalade
