Seen in New Order Of
Food Board.

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 2.-An ease
rnent Of the sugar situation 10 apparent
from the direction just received by
DR.. Harry E. Barnard. federal food ad.
ministrator for Indiana, from the. fed.
erAl administration at Washington,
which will permit Of the sale of 80
per cent Of requirements tn confec-
tioners and manufactures Of non-essen.
tial food products. Up to this time.
since the sugar shortage became acute,
these users have been privileged to
buy and use only fifty per cent OF
their former requirements.
This concession on the part Of the
federal administration. Or. Barnard Is
advised. 10 in anticipation Of the new
crop. 1t does not imply any relaxation,
however. in the strict regulation of
the individual consumption, which con-
tinues at maximum OF three pounds
per month. Nor are grocers to alter
the rule limiting sales and quantities.
Following 10 the telegram by Or.
Barnard from the federal food admin.
istration:
"The sugar division Of the food
administration has sent the following
wire to sugar distributing committees:
In October you were requested to
limit sales to confectioners and man
ufacturers OF non.essential food prod
ucts to fifty per cent OF their normal
requirements. On account OF the close
approach OF new crops Of sugar you
are hereby authorized to sell to said
confsctioners and manufacturers up to
eighty per cent OF their requirements.
II Is hoped that as soon as definite in
formation is obtained as to the prob
able outturn OF the new crops. all
limitations will be removed. Conserv.
alton should be practised, however.
ana we request that you suggest to
the confectioners and manufacturers
OF non.essential food products that
they use substitutes for sugar wher-
ever possible, such as honey glucose,
etc. This ruling should enable these
manufacturers to maintain their or.
CARNATIONS and continue in their EN-.
ploy the people who have been with
them for so many years."

MODERN BATTLES
 CAREFULLY REHEARSED.

In the course of his description of the Battle of Cantigny, where Ameri- can troops had their first opportunity to make good, Herbert Corey, the war correspondent, tells us in the No- vember Everybody's that When there is time to spare such affairs are re- hearsed as carefully as any other great modern spectacle. Not a Queen of Sheba' herself, with her fireworks and adjuncts, could bo given more minute drill. Miles in the rear an area had been found which duplicated that of Cantigny as nearly as possible, and on it the stage managers did themselves proud. Both enemy positions were marked off, and the enemy gun emplacements indicat- ed by stakes and flags. The town it. self, or what remains of the town. and it's streets and houses and tunnel exits and dugouts were carefully plotted out.
 "A sand-tsble was even built, twen- ty by thirty feet in size, on which every house was built to scale. Then the regimental and then the battalion and later the platoon officers were rehearsed in the parts they were to have in the new play. They were kept at 1t until they were letter per feet on every detail. They knew where they were to jump off from and where they were to go to. They knew the compass bearings of their 1, prospective routes, and each had marked down a landmark to follow. At last, on 'J three day, the whole regiment was rehearsed.
