Sugar Saving Plan
 s''e for Eating Places

In the interests of sugar con- seryation the Federal Food Admin istration for Alaska suggests the following plan which will insure a small supply Of sugar to every pa- tron and at the same time, keep within his allowance of two pounds per person per ninety meals.
 1. Sugar bowls should not be placed upon tables in the dining rooms.
 2. Before sugar is served, the waiter or waitress should always ask the patron whether he wishes sugar. and if SO, what kind.
 3. For coffee or tea. hot or iced, two half Jumps only or their equiv alent in some form of pressed or other sugar. to each person.
 1. For demi tasse or small cup of coffee, one-half lump only or it's equivalent in some other form of pressed or other sugar, to each per son.
 5. For cereal or fruit, one tea spoonful only of granulated or pow dered sugar or its equivalent per person. If a patron orders cereal and fruit, no more than one tea spoonful should be served for both.
 Most Americans understand the sugar situation and are patriotical- ly rationing themselves. Unfor- tunately, others demand more than their share. Unless the proprietor of an eating place adopts some methods of limiting sugar service. the probability is that toward the end of the month he will find him. self without any sugar at all.

NATIVES HAVE
 NO EXCLUSIVE
 FISHING RIGHTS
Supreme Court Holds H. IeqaI the Presidents AC- ton Reserving Annette
 Island Waters.

WASHINGTONN, Sept. 13. - Re- versing the United States Circuit Court of Appeals sitting at San Francisco the Supreme Court of the United States has held that Presi dent Wilson exceeded his lawful pow CTS when he reserved the waters ad- jacent to Annette Island for the use of Metlakatla Indians, and dismissed the injunction granted by the lower court restraining the Alaska Pacific Fisheries from fishing in them. -
 The case was brought by the Unit ed States Government to enjoin the Alaska Pacific Fisheries from fishing in the waters adjacent to Annette Island, the Government contendine that this was right especially re served by proclamation of President Wilson for the Indians. The fisher ies company contended that the President had no authority to pre- vent fishing in public waters.
 Hellenthal and Hellenthal of Ju- neau and Judge c. H. Hanford of Seattle represented the Alaska Pa cific Fisheries Company.
 This case was first tried in Ju- neau and Judge Robert w. Jennings held against the Alaska Pacific Fish cries. The case was appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judge Jennings was sustained. The case was then taken to the United States Supreme Court, and the decisions re- versed.

10000 TONS OF SHELLS
English Minister of Munitions Tells
People That Is Output.

. London, Oct. 11.-Colonel Winston
Spencer Churchill. minister of NUM-
tons, speaking at Leeds today, said
that the output of shells in British
munition plants Is now $4,000 tons
daily. He remarked that PREPARATIONS
must be made for continuing the war
on a still larger scale and with still
larger resources thrU1919.
I'VE are dealing with a crafty
enemy who is still in possession of
enormous resources" he said. even
if he evacuates France and Belgium,
that will not assure the acceptance of
our Indispensable terms for he can
then stand on his own strongly forti-
fed frontier. We must therefore not
slacken our output of munitions as it
will be necessary for France and Eng
land to supply portion of the arma-
ment and. equipment for the American
forces.
1.-THE Americans have made most
generous effort. They are sending
men to Europe far in advance of the
development of their own great NUM-
tons program. Our eXertions must be
continuous if we are to make good our
promises to those who are hurrying
ac- oss the Atlantic to our aid. With
out this equipment we cannot have the
assistance of those valiant American
troops who will be wanted to strike
the final blow if the war should last
into next summer"

LOSS is MILLION
English Writer Says German
Loss Has Been Great.
Has Been Unable To Replace
Heavy Casualties.

London, Oct. 11.-Writing in the
London Daily News. General Sir Fred
erick Maurice declared that since the
second battle of the Marine, the Ger
mans have lost 100000 in prisoners
and have suffered casualties totaling
10000 900 men.
LAS they have been unable to make
good this loss" he declares. they
have had to reduce their esta blish-
ments on the western front by not
less than half a million men. Dur
ing this same period, allied strength
on the western front has been grow
ing steadily. as more and more Amer
lean troops have come into the field
so the balance of military power in
the west is changing very rapidly in
our favor,
This IS the main fact to keep in
mind in considering the military sit
uation in the west. 1t is of more i'm
portance than the piercing of the enc
my's strongest defenses or the recap
ture of great towns. The enemy's
commitments in the west are greater
than he can meet and he must there
fore reduce them"

PROMOTE TOPEKA BOY
Arch FARRELL Is Made Sergeant Major
of Battalion in France.

Arch FARRELL. son of Mr.. ana Mrs j.
F. FARRELL of Topeka. has been ap-
painted sergeant major of his bat
talon with the 130th field artillery in
France. according to word received in
this city today. This is. the highest
rank of non-commissioned officer
and is deserving reward to a Topeka
soldier who enlisted as a private be-
fore the border trouble and who has
advanced steadily on merit since that
time.
FARRELL was a Washburn college stu
dent before entering the army. When
trouble broke out on the border he en-
listed with Battery A, Topeka's town."
and went to Mexico with the volun-
teers from this city. Later when war
was declared on Germany, farrell re-
manned with the battery and was in
training at Camp Doniphan. where he
was made corporal and sergeant.
He went overseas as a sergeant and
landed in England in June of this
year. He has been in France for sew
eral months in active duty with Bat
terry A. He is now sergeant major of
his battalion.
His brother. Sanford FARRELL, who
also volunteered in the border war and
who originally was with a Missouri
regiment, has been in France several
months.

HAVE A NEW SCHEME
Express Companies Would Change
Zone Rates To Get Revenue.

1t. is possible that the proposed in
crease in express rates of 5 per cent
will not become effective because of
a possible change in the payments of
the American Railway express to the
railroads. The express companies
were granted a 10 per cent increase in
rates last summer, just before the
government took them under its wing.
Recently the government found that
the 10 per cent increase in rates had
all been absorbed by increases in
wages to employees and there was
need of $12,O00,000 annual additional
revenue. A general increase of per
cent was contemplated.
The Kansas utilities commission re-
ceived today a proposal from Charles
E. Elmquist, president of the express
companies, which may obviate the in
creased fare. At present the railroads
receive SO per cent of the revenue and
the express companies get Al per cent.
1t is now proposed to make the rail-
road companies share As per cent,
which would give the companies the
per cent increase without an in
crease of the rate. Elmquist asks the
approval of the public utilities COM
mission to this modification, before
the matter is considered by the inter-
state commission. It is announced
that a still further advance in wages
will be necessary.
The tentative plan for a further in
crease as suggested by the American
Express company provides that both
intra and interstate rates in Zone
be increased in three scales. This
means that a minimum rate of SIS
cents be increased to II cents, and
each rate above that be increased ac-
cordingly, further 10 cents per hun
dred pounds are to be added to COM
modify rates. 1t is claimed this means
an increase of first class rates of a
maximum of 16 to II cents, on sec
ond class IL cents, and on commodi-
ties 10 cents. In other zones the in
crease is not SO large and from the
telegram from Mr.. Elmquist today it
is believed that the companies may be
satisfied with the new plan of dividing
the revenues

STRIKE new BLOW
American Units in Picardy Of
Toward Hirzen.
Fortress Is Important in Ger
man Army Workings.

New York, Oct 11.-American
units in the Picardy offensive have be-
gun a new movement toward the for
tress in Hirzen on the western fringe
of the Ardennes massif. for the pur-
pose of separating the German armies
in the Champagne from Won linden
burg's retreating troops in Picardy
and Flanders.
The Americans are now twenty-five
miles directly west of Hirzen. Their
position between Wassigny and Boz
hahn is astride the main Germany
railway leading to Hirzen from the
west. Hirzen is an important supply
center. 1t was along the Hirzen line
that Won Hindenburg kept his stores
moving into western France via the
Luxembourg route, which General
Pershing is now attempting to close
north of the Argonne.
Hirzen is the junction point where
the Luxembourg communication line
after skirting the southern front of the
Ardennes massif, meets the line run
ming along the northern side of the
Ardennes from Liege and the Meuse.
Block the Germans.
If the Germans can be forced back
quickly upon Hirzen from the west
the whole of Won Hindenburg's troops
in the Champagne from the st. Gobain
forest to the Argonne will be blocked
from escaping by way of Liege. They
"AAA AiANO ~ SIOWo llllO lAlC
Gus and almost roadless Ardennes, OF
else try to retire via Gutenberg.
If, at the same time, General PERISH
ing bars the way thru Luxembourg,
only the Ardennes route will be left.
A success to the allies such as this
would be one of the major victories of
the war. Supplies could be sent to
the Germans in the Champagne only
with the utmost difficulty thru the
ArdenneS and a catastrophe might fall
upon Won Hindenburg that would
practically wipe out his Champagne
army before it could protect the
Ardennes on it's return home.
To guard against this possible sever
ance of his forces, Won Hindenburg
has chung tenaciously to the ST. Gobain
massif, forty-five miles southwest of
Hirzen. The American and French
operations north of the st. Gobain
position, however, are now making this
forty-five mile passageway valueless.
A retirement from the st. Gobain for
est by the Germans may therefore
shortly be expected.

HE KIDS HIMSELF
German Propagandist Tells of Sub
Warfare and Lanents a Little.

Copenhagen, Oct. 11.-George Bern
hard, writing in the Berlin Vossische
Zeitung, says that the submarine war
fare would never have been proclaimed
if the German people had not been de-
ceived and misled. Discussing the
peace steps taken at Washington in
1915 and 1917, the writer says:
IF we had known that President
Wilson had been continually requested
to act as peace mediator and even that
specified conditions had been sub
mitted, our action would have been
different. Had we known that at the
moment unrestricted submarine war
fare was declared President Wilson
had agreed to accept the role of medi-
ator, the German people in the great
majority, would never have tolerated a
policy which brought upon them the
All this, says Bernard goes far
toward making President Wilson's
sharp words understandable.
1T also explains Ambassador Ger
ards unmeasured speech, when one
recalls that the German government
permitted him to make a friendly ad-
dress in the presence of high officials
at the very moment when the subma-
rine campaign was already decided
upon" he concluded.
