SHARE OUR SUGAR
WITH The ALLIES
British Get Two Pounds a Month.
French Pound and Half,
Italians One Pound.
GERMAN SUPPLY PLENTIFUL.
All Nations Permit Use Of sweetenlng
for Home Preserving Purpessa

Americas new sugar ration Of two
pounds a month per person Is equita-
BILE when compared with the sugar ra-
tion enforced by rigid governmental
order in England, France and Italy, ma
lions with which we are sharing sugar.
Each Allied nation-in the matter Of
sugar consumption-is sharing on near
est possible equal terms the hardships
imposed by greatly altered conditions
In the world sugar situation.
Formerly clnssed as luxury, sugar
is now war time essential. The fair
and just division Of this essential is
IN the hands Of the various Allied
food controllers.
The United States Food Admlnistra-
don has asked this nation to observe
voluntary sugar ration Of two
poGnds per person month.
In the other countries at war with
Germany sugar is one Of the scarce
articles on every menu-whether In
the households of both rich and poor.
or In the hotels.
England today has sugar ration
of two pounds per month per person.
In France the ration Is a pound and
half and in Italy it Is one pound a
month. And the prices In allied coun-
tries are from two to three times as
high as In America.
II you go to hotel In England or
France these days and order tea or
coffee they serve absolutely no sugar
with 1t. II you want sugar you must
bring It with you.
In England II Is allowable to use
one-seventb of an ounce of sugar In
the preparation of each luncheon. In
France many persons carry little sac
charlne tablets about with them for
use in hotels and in England rich and
poor must take their sugar with them
If they wish to have sweetened tea
while visiting friends.
Before the war started France had
625000 acres devoted to sugar produc-
ton. BY 1917 the French sugar acre
age had decreased to 100000 acres.
Today the French man or woman with
sugar card has no assurance whatever
that he or she will be able to actually
buy sugar. To buy It, one must Hrst
find 1t.
Italy Has Estate Sugar"
Especially drastic regulations govern
The use Of sugar in Italy. Its manu-
racture, distribution and sale are close
Iy controlled, and In part actually
taken over by the state.
Saccharine Is permitted to be sold
and used as a substitute for sugar and
The government manufactures a mix
ture OF saccharlne and sugar called
State Sugar. which Is largely used
German Sugar Ration Adequate.
Germany, before the war, produced
great surplus Of sugar and exported
large quantities. Today the Germans
nave virtually gone out Of the export
business, but have plenty Of cheap
sugar for home use 'f
Wholesale prices prevalent In the
Allied nations, according to informa.
Ion received by the United States
food Administration are as follows:
GnglOnd, 10 cents pound; France,
l2 cents; ITALY, 20 cents.
While these high prices are being
lald abroad the American wholesale
Jrce Is being held at IN cents.

Deputation May Present Program tc

Visit to Paris.

Constantinople, Nov. 27.---American
control of the Turkish gendarmerie
and finances is being urged by group
of nine newspapers Turkish
and two Erench-in ConstantiLople
The group also advocates American
supervision Of the educational system
and the separation of church and
state.
A deputation will request perTnis-

The program will be announced this
week.
'"This last war was the most disas-
trous in the history of Turkey, not be-
G. she was beaten, but because it
maze enemies Of nations naturally our
friends" declared Abdul Med5id Eff
fendi, heir to the Ottoman throne, to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press, whom he received today.
'eThe present sultan and myself" he
continued, denounced the proposal
that Turkey enter the war. Moham-
med V, who was then reigning, showed
weakness before clique of adventure
ers like Talaat Bey and EnveF Bey,
then cabinet ministers and now fugi-
tives, whom Germany had fed with
dreams OF power.
IL am more ashamed of the Armeni-
an atrocities committed during the
war than Of anything in our history,
but I must insist that they were
against the will of the present sultan
and the nation as whole. They
were instigated by unpatriotic minis
tiers who were guaranteed in their
places by their services to German
militarism"

Says Yanks Turned Tide.

Milwaukee, Nov. 27.-"Tanks and
the Canadians were always considered
good combination" said Lieut.. Har-
ry G. Nilsson in an after-dinner talk at
the City club. The lieutenant told of
the heroic sacrifices made by the Cana
dams and the scenes he had witnessed
the last four years. For four weary
years the Canadians faced the enemy,
often ten to one in number-yet, never
did they yield a trench" said Nilsson.
Then, when the allies were getting
war weary and the darkest hour was
at hand, when Paris was given up,
and the future most dark--thank God
2.000,0 900 soldiers arrived and soon got
the Hun on the rum" said he.
Though we needed food, and we need
ed ammunition and guns, what we
needed most was the smiles of those
American boys as they marched past
us and went into action for the first
time with a spirit that cheered us sll

RULES IN FAVOR OF WORKER
Industrial Commission Awards Full
Payment to Worker Who Lost
Sight of Eye After Settlement
With Insurance Company.

Madison, Nov. 27.-A case Of I'M
usual interest under the workmen's
compensation act was decided on Mon
day by the industrial commission.
This was the case Of James Briggs VS..
]. I. Case Threshing Machine company
and the General Accident Liability AS
surance company. The injured man
got a piece of steel into his eye, for
which he received treatment from the
company's physician. He also consult
he would probably lose the sight of his
eye. The company's physician report
ed him able to retuxn to work after
two weeks, when he did resume work.
The insurance company then paid him
1895 as compensation and took from
him a receipt which stated that $685.
was accepted in full settlement and
satisfaction" of the claim. Thereafter
he lost the sight of the eye. The in
surance company, however, refused to
pay him additional compensation. In
May he filed an application for adjust
ment of his claim for additional COM
pensation with the industrial commits
sion. The insurance company did not
deny that the man lost the sight of his
eye because of the accident, but
claimed that the provisions Of the COM
pensation act applied which provide
that any compromise of claim for COM
pensation may be reviewed, modified
or set aside by the Industrial commits
sion only within one year after the
date of such compromise. The COM
mission denies this claim and awards
full compensation for the loss of the
sight Of his eye. 1t holds that the set
Element for 1896 was not compro-

Federal. BOARD
WILL AID TIT: CITY
City is Asked to Make EST
mate of Labor Conditions
to Aid in Placing Re
turning Soldiers.
MAY SEND men TO KENOSHA

Soldiers who fought valiantly in
France may aid Kenosha in carrying
out public Improvement programs dur
ing the coming year as Mayor Joachim
has received letter from the Federal
War Board announcing the willingness
of this board to cooperate with the
city in all sorts of Improvement work
during the coming year The city is
all the work that is to be done during
the coming year and file this esti-
mate with the Federal Board. The
estimate is to show not only the cost
and extent of the work but also the
number Of men to be required to carry
out this work and the ability of the city
to obtain these men in Kenosha. If
there is need of men to carry out work
they will be furnished by the Govern
ment Employment bureaus.
cit is impossible to even guess just
what the conditions in Kenosha will be
during the coming year" said City En-
gineer Hurtgen this morning. eve
are not anticipating that it will be
necessary for US to call upon the gov
eminent to supply men for the carry
ing on Of city Improvement work.
However it may be that working condi-
tions in the city including demands for
men to take care of positions in the
factories will be such as to make it
necessary for US to have aid from out
side. We are going to file our esti-
mates with the government employment
board and in every way safe guard the
rights the city may have in connection
with the distribution of labor when
/ the boys come home.o
The county of Kenosha has already
filed with the Federal board report of
the work estimated to be done on the
roads of the county during the coming
1 year. This is a considerable amount
of work and it would have been impos-
sible to have done it under labor con-
lditions existing during the past twelve
months.
Both city and county officials believe
that with the close of the war and the
readjustment of labor many men viii
be released for Houtside'' work and
it is thought probably that the number
will be sufficient to meet all demands
of the city and county.
1t is understood that the demobiliza-
tion of the army viii be carried for.
ward just as rapidly as work can be
provided for all of the men in service.
Many communities have already a n
nounced that they will provide work
for the returning soldiers and practi-
caly all Of the Kenosha men in serv-
lice are assured unemployment where
they were working when they answered
the call.
On account of this distribution of la
Dor it is expected that the Federal en-
ployment bureaus now located In all
the larger cities of the county including
Kenosha viii be continued in service
for an indefinite time.
