PRODUCE AND SAVE SUGAR
To SAVE SHIPS AND SOLDIERS

We Of the west are al a source Of
supply.
Neither the congcsted condition of
our railroads nor the hazards Incl
dent at this time 90 ocean trans
p%ortation are depriying us NJ sugar.
For the sake. however. NJ our
country and our homes. our Allie,
and ships for our soldiers, W.
should save sugar.
Here are some of the reasons
why
Before the war, England bought
each year. from what We now tern.
Pan-Germany. something like 1000
OO0 tons ~ beet SUGAR.
France consumed about l.OOOOOO
tons NJ sugar most of which W,
produced from it. ~ sugar beet
fields, nearly all NJ which were baca
of German lines from september.
1914. until the retreat NJ last May
During this retreat, however, fac
tory and field were put out n com
mission for present usefulness.
From the foregoing statement, u
- obvious that England and France
must have from somewhere a por-
ton, al least, NJ this 3OO0OO0 tons
u sugar II which they have been
deprived
Also this Is q good illustration NJ
why the western beet sugar indus
try should be- encouraged.

that Germany was violating the terms

on the Asiago Plateau.

supplementary German official report OF
last night, which was not received until
today, announces the opening OF the as.
sault, describing 1t as a violent attack
There were no accompanying details. In
the lack Of more definite news the posi-
bility suggests itself that the Italian Ell.
fort is one somewhat similar to that OF
the French a few weeks ago cast Of the

Of the Autyu.Gcrmdn line on a consider

down. The Italians held mastery of thu

rying down the Nos and Campomul
valleys were dispersed by the artiller
of the Italians and their allies.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Jan. 90
Vineyard sound, Buzzards Bay and Nan

day and shipping was at a standstiil.
Six tugs with 10 barges, many of them
