WHY SUGAR is SHORT

There is a greater shortage
of both the sugar-ca cane and
sngar-beet crops than was eX-
pected in the early part of the
season. At no time since the
beginning of the war has there
+. been a normal output of sugar
becanse of the devastation of
foreign sugar-beet fields. There
has been serious loss of sugar
at sea due to the submarine
warfare. The Government re-
luires generous supply to meet
the needs OF the men in the
service.

STORM IN SOUTHEAST
 KILLS 10, INJURIES 100
Probable That Casualty List in Ala bama Will Re Increased When
 Communication Is Restored.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. i2.-The South Atlantic and East Gulf states today were slowly recovering from one of the worst wind, rain and sleet storms in recent years, which swept the territory late yesterday and last night. Communication with sections isolated by the elements had been partially restored by noon today, but fire companies were working under a great handicap, owing to large territories affected.
 Ten persons are known to have been killed and nearly 100 injured, with unconfirmed reports of addi- tional life loss at towns with which wire communication has not been restored. Casualties reported stood at 10 dead and nearly 100 injured, Property damage is believed to be comparatively small.
 Dead and injured: Cowarts, Ala, seven killed, 25 injured; Webb, Ala, i killed, scores injured in the de- struction of several buildings; Troy, Ala. 1 killed. several injured; Ma con, Ga, killed, several injured.
 At Andalusia, Ala, an orphanage was demolished and four children injured. Two churches at Andalu- sia also were wrecked and several other buildings damaged.
 At Camp Wheeler, near Montgom- cry, some tents were blown down, but no one was injured.

SECRETARY BAKER
 REPLIES 10 CRITICS
Says No Army of Similar Size in Worlds History Has Been Raised,
 Equipped, and Trained So Quick ly-lAdmits Delays and Errors.

Washington, Jan. i0.-Secretary of War Baker, in statement pre- sented to the Senate military com- mittee today, replied to the criti : cisms of the conduct of the war de- partment.
 Conceding delays and errors of judgment in so vast an undertaking, the secretary epitomized his reply in these words:
 No army of similar size in the history of the world has been raised, equipped or trained so quickly. No such provision has ever been made for the comfort, health and general well-being of an army"
 He said that America now has in France an army of substantial size, ready for active service" The men, he declared, have been trained especially for modern war fare. and great program has been formulated for the production of new instruments of war. Arms of the most modern and effective kind have been provided for every fight ing man who can be sent to France in 1918.
 The secretary declared that an army Of million and half men now is in the field and was recruit cd without hurting the nations in- dustries.
 The subsistence of the army, Sec retary Baker declares, has been above criticism, while it's initial clothing supply. temporarily made 1uate, is now substantially complete.
 During the past nine months, the army has been increased from 9,52i officers to ii0,856 officers, and from 2O250 men to i.l28.650 men.
 The total number of men already in the military service is one and one-half times as large as any force ever mobilized by the United States" 1" the secretary's statement says.

EFFECTS OF RAILROAD CHANGE
(By Clio Harper)

The government has taken long step toward government ownership of all railroads, when, as war measure, it takes over the manage ment of all the railroads. It is said that the general public will see very little change in conditions, but they will be made, nevertheless, and new regime is being ushered in. And when the war is over, it is be- lieved by many that the old condi- tions will never return.
 One of the conditions brought about by the change is the elimina- tion of competitive offices, such as soliciting freight, passenger and commercial agents. Since all traf- fic is to be routed and controlled by the Railway Administration, along lines that will accomplish the high est efficiency of service These of fees are being closed by practically all the railway systems and the men are being transferred to other cities and other positions, wherever prac- tibable. In some instances, the men. who have been on the job for years, do not know just where they will be placed, or what their future will be,
 Another phase of the possible Government ownership of railroads, which some are predicting will fol- lnrxy fha fc nn1,,at..., .~. revenue that will follow the change.
 The total property assessment of the state is about $525, 100000, for last year, of which approximately S90,000,000 is on the railroad prop critics of the state Tn addition to the advalorem taxes. the railroads pay about si00,000 annually in fran chise tax. It is estimated that the withdrawal of these properties from taxation would reduce the general revenue of the state from f7 to 20 per cent. The county and municipal taxes would also be reduced in about the same proportion, except for the franchise taxes.
 The Government pays no taxes on us property, and If the railroads were owned by the Government the states would be deprived of one of it's most prolific sources of revenue.
 The government would, of course. buy the railroads. paying for them full value, but comparatively small part of the stocks are owned Tn Arkansas and majority of the states. The bulk of the securities is owned in New York and Eastern money centers.
