Sugar Famine Need
Not Be Feared
Fronounces Food Situation
Best Since u. S. Under
took to Feed Allies

WASHINGTON, July o.-Defnite as.
s"rances that there is no danger Of a
sugar famine were given by the food
administration to- day, and the food sit
oaton generally was declared to be
oe'tcr than at any time since America
undertook the feeding of the Allied
world
Inc American public will. however.
DC expected to observe closely the new
regulations limiting the household per
capita consumption of sugar to three
pounds monthly, and to continue oil
other conservation measures, at least in
part. Whatever saving other than pro-
Vlded for in the regulations that NAV
'ecomc necessary to remove all danger
OF famine will be done by manu-
Iacturers.
1T was pointed out to-day, regarding
the wheat situation, that even with the
prospect of 100000. 900 bushel wheat
crop there can be little, if any, lessen
ing of present conservation measures.
"A reassuring wheat reserve must be
oullt up here and abroad, officials de-
clare, and maintained against q pos
s'ble short crop next year.
The new wheat harvest now COMING
IN, 1t was said, finds the available sun
ply OF last years crop very low. That
wheatlcss and meatlcss restrictions will
be removed entirely was declared at the
1ood administration as highly improb-
able while the war lasts.
Now that the short market in meat
buying has come to an end and reserve
stccks of beef and pork have been ac.
cumuiated, there may be soon slight
modification of meat restrictions in
hotels and public eating places. Volun-

 The San Jose was sunk some time today. Captain Evans. who had been kept prisoner on the submarine eight days was put into one of the San Jose's small boats, which was picked up. Four other members of the San Jose's crew were not accounted for tonight Naval authorities refused to give out anything concerning the ta.- periences of Captain Evans or the sinking of the San Jose.
 Captain Evans appeared little the worse for his adventures. He vas seized by the German commander when he tried to return to his sinking vessel for the ships papers.

FRENCH CAPTURE 2,200 MORE HUN PRISONERS
GENERAL MANGIN STRIKES
 ANOTHER GOOD BLOW
IS NOW IN COMMAND OF THE oISE VALLEY ALONG THE
 WHOLE LENGTH

With the French Army in France, Aug. (Reuters)- )-The battle has now extended to both banks of the Disc, and the enemy hitherto fronting on the west, is now menaced on his southern flank. General Mangin S whole objective las been attained along the front of ten miles.
 The enemy, although he seems 10 have been aware of the coming attack had again miscalculated the date and was in effect, again taken by surprise on a weakly held front, the German commanders apparently having no reserves within call. The allies now command the valley along the whole of its length. The enemy must ac- cordingly withdraw all but his imme- diate fighting line behind the plateau on his side of the valley.
 The operation recalls in scope and purpose General Mangins attacks at the end of June on similar ground n the Coeuvres-St. Pierre -Aigle valley south of Soissons, which gave General Mangin possession of the valley and then footing on the heights aboye. affording him a safe departure line for his attack of July IS while ros session of the valley enabled him to bring up tanks and muster reserves unobserved by the enemy.
 Successive blows delivered against the Germans since August10 all along the line on the Somme from from Soissons have brought the operations to a crucial point. After yielding in the early operations the enmey has been making desparate stand at crucial points in the past few days but his resistance has failed to over come the steady pressure by the al- lies around 14assigny and Rove.
 The french third army made further progress today in the region of Las signy and the Thiescourt hills. They have occupied the greater part of Beuvraignes and are forging nearer Lassigny from the south of Fres- are pressing northward toward Las signy by forcing en exit from the Thiescourt wood.
 These gains were made during the most severe fighting, the Germans contesting strongly every bit Of ground. Lassigny is now almost turn cd to the south as is threatened from the north. It is likely to fall at any moment

mented, both by shore patrol and other methods which cannot he discussed.
 1t can be stated, however, that no official report has been made giving any definite evidence of an enemy boat having landed. w
 From authoritative sources. it was learned today, that there is reason to believe that three German submarines have been operating on the American coasts at three separate points Two of these have recently ceased oper- 'ating," either because their stores Ihave become exhausted, or as a result Iof damage received in contact with the patrol fleets. 1t is known that the activities of one boat ceased imnlcdi- ately after a destroyer reported hav- ing discharged depth bombs near The spot where tho ii''-sisat submerged.
 One of the three submarines, it is considered certain, was especially equipped for duty as a cable cutter. This is held to explain the sudden parting recently of two Atlantic ea- bles A naval repair ship escorted by fighting craft since has picked up and spliced both cables,
 The German admiralty now has in Commission between 160 and 1S0 sub- marines, while the total number de- stroyed by the allies iias passed tine 200 mark, according to the most re- liable information available here. If correct these figures would indicate that new German construction has barely held it's own over the period of four years. as at the beginning of the war the Germans are known to have had about 150 submarines. The toll ia the last six months however. has been many times as great as hat attained at any previous period.

Washincton, Aug 1S.--Information furnished by officers of vessels at tackled by German submarines along the American coast has strengthened the belief held by several experienced officials here that the enemy raiders have had communication with persons on shore and may even have landed members of their crews in an effort to 'obtain reliable information.
 The navy department officially re- fused tonight to endorse this belicI though admitting the possibility. Positive claim that he met an off cer from the submarine that sunk tht oil tank steamer 0.

 recognition between the American ah! German is said to have been instan' tatenous. the latter making his escap' when the American appealed to brother officer accompanying him fol confirmation of his belief
 Other instances have been heard not so well substantiated, of the dis covery of evidence that German sub marines have been in close touch with the shore. One story along this line was that the captain of q coastwlse vessel was astounded to see on the desk of the German commander CO., pies of New York dailies of the same date
 Communication between the raiders and the mainland is possible at scores of places along the Atlantic shore, na- val officials believe, the irregularity of the American coasts at certain points making such possible.
