Thrilling Rescue Of British Crews.

Dover, England, April 25. (By the
Associated Press. )-One of the most
thrilling incidents of the British naval
raid on Zeebrugge on Tuesday was the
rescue by two American built motor
launches of nearly 200 members of the
crew of two ships sunk at the entrance
to the Bruges canal. The feat was &C
complished under heavy fire and the
actual transfer was made in less than
five minutes, ..s. .
Two Of the three block ships which
passed inside the Mole reached their
objective and swung brOadside across
the mouth of the channel. Then, ac-
cording 10 plans, two motor launches
dashed in from the sea through the
enemy barrage at express train
speed and drew up alongside.
All the time shells We're falling,
some striking the block ships and
causing casualties, out the crews up
held their traditions for coOlness.

However, 1t may be safe to predict

1t is not unlikely that within the pres

are in training for that work.
So, it is probable that these aviators

Nv Reducing Consumption People Of

Famine At Homo In Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
siyely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol.
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year
In July. when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 5000 tons went into dis
trIbution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 10000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were SO low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth SO pre-
doninantly as this reduced consump.
ton Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation Is In a position so
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use OF sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to 60
far ateld, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. II, however. those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump.
