THIEVES MASQUERADE
 AS ENGLISH TOMMIES
Khaki Clad Crooks Causing Scotland Yard Endless Amount
 of Work.

London, June 15.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Thieves ill khaki have lbeen causing Scotland Yard an endless amount of work re gently. Some new tricks of the thie- yes trade is almost a daily develop ment, as one of the outcomes of the war.
 Even the London pickpocket who has escaned military lservice has found his profession more profitable, with fewer chances of detection, when attired in the uniforf of a. af4British soldier. The pickpocket usually wears the garb of "a private. But it is the thief or the forger in the uniform of an army officer working on a larger scale who has been the chief concern of the Scotland Yard detectives.
 Crime ill London decreased mater ially with the beginning of war, but it is now on the increase. Thieves and criminals generally have been edu- eating themselves to take advantage of the situation brought about by the presence of great numbers of men in uniform. So the police virtually are as busy as in the days before the war began.
 It is an easy task for a wounded soldier to get the attention and sym pathy of almost an civilian and it is upon this theory that many bad check operators have been working recently.
 One of the methods used by spur ious check writer is to make friends at boarding house or hotel or store and eventually reveal touching story of hard luck. After few days ac- quaintance he will offer check. The better acquainted he has become with his victim usually the larger is the amount of the check.
 In several instancts the wounded officer" made Headquarters" in three places in one distrct and succeeded in cashing check at each place. all the same day. When police arrived. of course he had moved and there was nothing left behind but memories and the worthless check.
 The amounts of the checks vary, having reaching as much as the equ- ivalent of $500 in several cases. But $10O or $150 is the amount more com monly used by the forger or the pre- tended wounded officer" who claims to have money in the bank.
 Two bad-check artists who made the claim that they were Australian of ficers who had been wounded in bat tie. worked together, each sympath- izing with the other, and incidentally getting more sympathy from new ac- quaintances. And before discovery succeeded in caShing checks in SeV- eral London districts, The police found the uniforms but not the men.
 In an endeavor to keep ahead of the activity of the thieves in khaki, Scot land Yard these days is kept busy.

MAY BAR MAKING ..0F ICE CREAM
 ID SAVE SUGAR
Food Administration Con- sidering Drastic Restrict
 ions for United States

Little Rock, June 20.-Cuban sugar deliveries have fallen far below the estimated consumption and the sugar situation is serious, according to word received from the federal food administration. Large submarine los- ses and lack of shipping may make necessary further curtailments in the use of sugar.
 Some of the industries using sugar that are now classed as essential may be put on the non-essential list, ana the amount of sugar sold to the non essential industries reduced to sloO per cent.
 Ice cream may be one of the items put on the rlon-essentlal ISL The unrestricted manufacture of ice cream was allowed by the food ad- ministration in order to promote the production of milk and provide market for fresh milk. However, evidence has been brought to the attention of the state food administration that manufactur' CTS of ice cream have resorted to the use of canned milk and water and that ice cream often adultOrated, It is said.
 The use of canned milk defeats the purpose of the food adminlstra. ton in allowing the manufacture ot ice cream, since it uses up the re- serve supply of condensed milk which is badly needed by the army and navy, and does not promote the production of more milk. It has also been suggested that an intensive campaign be instituted tc encourage canning and preserving with the use of as little sugar as pos sible
 All manufacturers listed as non essential, who failed to file then statement June 10, showing the amount of sugar which they had on hand, as required by the regulations of the federal food administrator will be issued no more sugar this year, and their present supply is te be requestioned by the food admins tration and put iii circulation.
 The excess sugar found on hant of manufacturers listed as non-es senlial, according to istatemehts turned in June 10, is to be request toned by the food administrator July 1.
 Retailers and hotels are to be pu on certificate basis. We are pre- pairing rules and a comprehensive O. putting retailers and hotels on cer tificate plan," said telegram receiv ed at the state food administration office Wednesday.
 "Even though you may have tenn porary surplus of sugar in you state, conservation is important, al this sugar must be distributed over considerable period"

WARLIKE SCENES WITNESSED IN
 ANCIENT LAND

With the British army in Mesopo- tamia, June 16.-(Correspondence Of the Associated Press) Warlike scenes again encompass places made sacred by Biblical stories or assocla- tion with Biblical characters, along the British lines in this birthplace ot civilization.
 Going from Nahaf to Hillah one passes Kufa, with it's beautiful mos que, built upon the spot where accord ing to popular belief, Jonah was cast up by the whale. Half an hour later the traveller comes upon another shrine, the tomb of Ezekiel, revered bv Moslen and Jew alike.
 The next relic one passes IS Blrs Nimrud, a huge mound of earth with a rock-like brick foundation sur mountin git, which according to Arab tradition, is all that remains fo the tower of Babel. But here the scientist comes in with his disappointing re- searches and tells us that it is mere ly a piece of work dating no. further back than Nebuchadnezzar. The tow CT remains in view until one enters lillian. Here science and local tra- ditions agree, and one may look unon the identical chamber where Belshaz- ger saw the handwriting on the wall
 The story of Noah and his flood is tale easily credible in Mesopotamla It nearly repeated itself in the first two years of the British struggle to- wards Bagdad. It takes little imagln- ation to picture the dove vainly seek ing resting place between Kut and Ali Gharbi.
 Those who survived the July Of 1917 can easily believe the story or Shadrach, Mesbach and Abednego, or. if there is any doubt in their minds, It vii concern only the artificial orlgln of the fiery furnace.
 Babel. the mixing of the tongues and languages, is still in progress m Mesopotamia. Moreover, a new ton que is arising to increase the origin al confusion, a compact of English, Arabic and French. In the new ton que, railroad is called "shemln-oui- fer" corruption of the trench 'chamin-de-fer.' An automobile IS called "stronbill," which is as near as the Arab can get to the Engilsh pronunciation.
 At Alden the Arabs have colned verb from an English expletlVe- ''damful1ni," to abuse, which IS con, iu gated in all the Arab moods ana damfuled you" He dam fuled me-" with the proper Arab ln- lectiGns.
 The British soldier, too, is broaden ing his vocabulary. Two of the com Arab words, "imshi" or go' and "makoo," there is none, have Deen adopted into army parlance: Tn bas- rah one may hear the soldiers cali ing out for "bill-bellam." Bellam m Arfabic is a boat, and "bill' IS the proposition "in," but Tommy Atkins Is never a purist even in his own ian-

U. S. BUILDS NEW
 NON-SINKABLE SHIP

Washington, June 20.-A new type of "unsinkable ship" is being built in America. It became known today that contracts for 10 of the vessels have been let by the French government to an American yard The design is the work of a Frenchman, and embodies principles hitherto untried, details of which are being kept secret.
 Since the adverse report on the buoyancy box system tried out in the steamer Lucia, the shipping board has not undertaken any new efforts to frustrate the work of the submarine torpedOes.
 \ Work is continuing, however, in in creasing the bulkheads of vessels, which was begun slime months ago.
 It has been learned that the Ger mans had to use three torpedoes to sink the transport President Lincoln because the increased number of bulk heads prevented the first two explo- sions from flooding sufficient space to sink the essel.
