Montpelier, June.-Owing to IN
creased difficulties in obtaining sugar
arising from submarine losses Of gu

Food Administrator F. H. Brooks has
notified dealers in all parts Of the
state to limit the sales Of sugar to
domestic consumers In cities and
towns to two and one-half pounds
and sales to rural consumers to fve
pounds. This new schedule cuts the
former in two and the new ruling be
comes effective at once.

NO LONGER AN ARIsrocRAT,

But a short year ago an aristoera'
among foods, the Irish potato Is
sinking around to the back door
asking to be permitted to enter the
Kitchen again.
The now thoroughly humble spud
may be purchased for rs cents a
bushel at retail. and owners OF auto
mobiles say that scouting expeditions
into the country will discover pota-
toes that may be carried home in the

Here is one food on which conser-
walton does not need to be observed.
mr.. Hoover may be forgotten while
j consuming potatoes baked. fried, or

Nobody need worry about taking
food from the mouths OF hungry
Belgian children or American soldiers

not have to watch with anxious eye,

dnlge in potatoes three times a day

Allied aviators, but IL II. G. Wells ia
to be believed, the Germans have
been given merely a taste Of what is
In store for them.
He predicts a bombardmsnt from
the air that will be virtually con-
tinuous for twenty four hours a day,
day after day.
The German bombardments OF
London rarely last more than an
hour. The loss OF life in these raids
ranges from rs TO 200, with many
times that many injured. The prop
erty loss is very heavy.
Picture then the conditions in a
city the size of st. Paul or Mime
apolis, with a feet of airplanes hoy
ering over it twenty-four hours a
day, and dropping bomb after bomb
on buildings. railroads, bridges and
highways. The city would be unin-
habitable within a week.
The Rhine valley is the great
manufacturing center of Germany.
and If the formerly prosperous cities
there were devastated, it would be a
terrible return for the policy Of
inaugurated by the
Germans. During the present Of
fensive, the Allies have re-establish-
ed their air supremacy. They are
committed to q policy Of reprisals,
and when the present German drive
is checked, there is every reason to
believe that the real air offensive
against the German manufacturing
oenters will begin.
That is why the reports Of the
breakdown OF the American air
program are SO distressing. General
Wood is reported as saying there are
1000 American aviators at the front,
with no machines to fly. The
Aeronautical society committee, a
few days ago, made a report fatty
accusing Secretary Baker Of mis-
statements regarding the air pro-
gram, and in debate in the senate,
sensational statements regarding the
complete breakdown in the air pro-
gram were made. These charges
come from such sources that they
cannot be ignored. They have not
yet been refuted.
Americans are not afraid OF the
truth and they don't object to all
necessary secrecy regarding war
The one unforglvable
attitude for the war department or
the committee on public information
to take, is to give out pleasantly col
ored misinformation which tends to
lull the people into false sense Of
security. There Is a growing feeling
that Mr.. Creel's department OF
public information has been quilting
the public in regard to the air pro-
gram. II it Is not well founded, the
public should know it promptly. III
Il IL well founded. Mr.. CraeI should
be permitted 10 return to Denver Just
as quickly as the first train viii take
him.

It is a disconcer1SnR thing that q
per cent Of the voters in any great
community of the United States
should be for the kaiser against the
President and for Germany against
the United States; but the Wisconsin

Ing the issue there out into the open

knows Wisconsin and knows the
shameful subservisnce OF both Dem
ocratic and Republican politicians in
the past to the German vote can find
plenty of cause for qualification that
Berger's showing at the polls was not
far greater. Additional satisfaction
can be derived from the elections in
Chicago, where the total Socialist
vote fell Off and every Socialist can
didate for alderman was beaten
