The State Department cautioned that
II was unwise TO place too much re-
lance on the reported break II was
recalled that from time TO time there
have been reports OF Turkish dissatis-

II is likely that some OF the Turkish
government IS anti-German, but 10 is
doubtful IL this group is predominant.
As to Bulgaria. IL was pointed out
that the prospects OF Balkan dlstribu-

now TO trade with the Allies.
II, as is reported. there has been a
break in the relations between Ger
many and Turkey, the direct cause may
well be that Turkey. who was a party
TO the treaty Of peace accepted by the
BolsheviH Of Russia at Brest-Litovsk,

mania at Bucharest on May 3, feels
herself uniustly treated in regard to

self deserted by Germany ever since
the autumn OF 1916, when most Of the
Germans who had been sent into Asia
TO aid the Turks in a second attack
upon the Suez Canal and TO defend the

''Have you Americans any concep-
tion of what the requirements of
France will be, when the allies have
won the war and our country begins
its work of reconstruction ?" This
question was asked me a few days ago
by prominent business man of Paris,
who, having been gassed, can no long
er fight, and is visiting this country.
From what he proceeded to relate it
is evident that comparatively few on
this side do realize what our export
trade to France is destined to become.
"For many years" he said, "our
people secured their machinery, print
ing ipresses, tools. electric machinery,
and lighting fixtures, etc., all from
Germany. This was because German
prices were lower than other coun-
tries. : But now! Germany could not
name a price which would induce a
Frenchman to buy of her, no matter
what his need, England will be busy
supplying her own wants and those. of
her export trade, hence we are looking
to your country, Our textile mills,
nearly all of which were in northeast
France, have long since been destroyed
and thesmachinery carried into Ger
many. Our textile manufacturers are
already making a new start in south
west France; securing what little ma
chinery they can. With the end of the
war this industry will be one of the
first to resume, and we shall require,
of textile machinery alone, oyer 200,-
100000 fracs. could go on down c
list of a hundred articles, whose re-
quirements, while not SO great, will in
the aggregate total vast sum. Part
ly because our people regard the
Americans so highly, and are full of
admiration for the splendid things
they are doing in our country, and
partly THAT we may know and read
your language, great numbers of our
people are studying English, not only
to be able to read it, but to speak it
as well. We expect to offer such at
tractive opportunities, especially to
constructing engineers and mechanics
of all kinds, that thousands Of your
young men will remain in France, at
least during the first two or three
years of reconstruction. ."'-H. II.

TESTED
MORAL Fiber
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
pies Would Be Easy Compared !
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Amerlcans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port o. War by Conserving for
M yHg the Benefit Of the
ri; AIiiea

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that II was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities. but that Il
would be far more difficult to accom-
pllsh an actual decrease in the use OF
luxurIes. The doubters took sugar as
an example. and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people. -
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
tions will be able to go farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now In prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption AZ the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased. If the Eu-
ropean ration Is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Admlnistra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration Is in itself proof that
the ration Of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records Of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
tember and October 995,0 900 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period Is 100000 tons. This
shows definite, concrete saving Of
over 100000 tons. These figures APP
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
the kitchen and In the various indus
tries, and Show fconclusiveiyo that In
the homes and public eating places Of
America, where 20 per cent. Of all our
sugar Is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons Of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution In August only 225,000
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed 279,0OO tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons In October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

tain claims which might be made
against the state. The board was to
be a sort of jury to determine these
claims and no thought whatever was
had that it would assume auditing
duties. But it has and now overlaps
the work and the duties of the. audi
tor general.
Mr.. Mathews was aksd if the board
ever permitted the head Of any de-
partment to purchase any articles for
use in the department, and his reply
was: b. u. slse
s".We never permit them to buy, but
sometimes they do"
Mr.. Matthews said when they did
this they were scolded, but that even
then they did sometimes repeat, al
though not so frequently now as for
merly. The auditors o. KID the bills
just the same and they were paid.
The Duplication of Work
Mr.. Matthews was asked if the board
classes of claims which come TO the
board Of auditors and also go to the
auditor general, and this was the
enlightening reply:
"There are probably thirty differ
ent classes audited by this board. That
is, we probably have 80 different de-
partments whose claims come here.
Perhaps the. same class of claims
would go to the auditor general as
come here. For instance, there are
certain board members travelling ex-
penses which go to the auditor gener-
al and some other board members
travelling expenses come here"
1t was also brought out that the
salaries Of certain departments are
audited by the auditor general Thus
is becomes necessary for the depart
ments in sending in its bills for audit
to separate them in order that part
may go to one auditing department
and another part I'd, another auditing
department. Mr.. Lord asked the
question:
"These things necessitate addition
al bookkeeping, don't they?"
"Yes," was the reply "They (the
auditor general) have to keep two
funds and we keep two funds. We
keep two postage accounts for the
board of corrections and charities.
The postage for the board Of correc-
tions and charities would not have
come to this department (board), but
they wanted it to come here"
Mr. Maffhoxrrc oIc~ -kook.G~I kI-L "a
usually" happens that departments
bought furniture, carpets, cts. before
it is brought to the attention of the
board of auditors"
Mr.. Matthews also showed that
sometimes accounts are charged
charged against one fund by the
board and against another fund by
the auditor general, and that there
was duplicate Of effort, printing, pa
per and clerical help.
Work Practically the Same
o. B. Fuller, auditor general in his
testimony said:
"The work of this department and
the work Of the board of auditors is
practically the same. Where we pay
the claim that has gone through the
board, it means that we go over the
same ground the board has gone over.
don't think it should be necessary
FOR them to have the clerical force
doing work similar to that done in this
department"
State institutions almost without
exception buy what they please, pay
for it out of sums they have drawn
from the state treasury and deposited
to their own accounts and periodically
send the bills to the auditor general
for audit He may refuse to audit but
