Quite naturally the German newspapers
consider the armistice terms hard. but what
did they expect In the face of Bucharest and
Brest Litovsk? Did they believe that the allies
would come to them wearing silken gloves,

hard when compared with those by which

Stocks Will Be Short Until Beginning of New

Two pounds Of sugar q month-half

has asked every American to observe
until January 1, 1919, In order to make
sure there shall be enough for our

and for the civilians of those nations.
BY New Years the world sugar sit

the new crop. Cuban sugar of this
years crop will be arriving in this
country.
Every available sugar source will be
drawn on by the Food Administration
during the next winter months to main-
tain sufficient stocks here to keep up
our national sugar supply. During Oc-
tober the first American beet sugar
will arrive In the markets. BY the
middle of November some of our Lou

ton is already reduced to a minimum.
Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces In Its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution Of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the eoun-
try, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been dIsap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur.
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account Of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have Increased az well az those from
the ALLIES.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half !.
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every ef'
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts Of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply Ia larg'
er, the canned fruit may be swestensd
as 1t Is used.
