LEAVE FERRY
SLIP UP TO
NEW COUNCIL

Members of the incoming city
council will be asked to decide
next month whether or not they
want to spend $4,000 for road
way and slip for the new ferry
boat at PIT. Defiance.
Pressed by Commercial club
committee composed of A. V.
Love, F. P. Haskell and r. ID. Nc
Donald for action on the ferry
question Wednesday, the present
council decided to put the prob
lem up to the new commissioners.
An ordinance appropriating
$4,000 for the work will be in
troduced next Wednesday, and
held over for the incoming coun-
Gil to act on.
County commissioners have
agreed to stand all other expense
if the city will pay $4,000 for
the slip and part of the roadway.
This is $4,000 more than the city
council originally agreed to pay,
and there are no available funds
at present for the work.
The ferry is still making regu-
lar trips to the Todd shipyards.

TO RATION
THE SUGAR
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. April 20.
-Rationing of confectioners and
manufacturers using sugar is COM
ing soon, it was learned today.
This step, to follow closely the
sugar card or certificate for house,
wives, is believed necessary to pro-
vide sugar for the canning season
about to begin.
Over 1,690,000 tons are used
every year for canning fruits and
vegetables, sugar experts declare.
All except 10000 tons of this is
used by housewives in the millions
of Americans kitchens.
Hoover's sugar card. while not
so drastic as those issued in
Europe, pledges householders buy
ing sugar on the card TOT use 1t
only for canning and preserving.
Surplus sugar must be returned.
The fuel administration today
announced that commercial green
houses must cut their coal con-
sumption SO per cent. Wealthy
estates must reduce coal used in
their luxurious hot houses, also.
Private yachts are to suffer an
equal cut. Passenger auto man
ufacture, it is indicate, may be cut
down to 25 per cent of the 1917
output.

You ask, What is yours?"
Union avenue would be good, but
that being already in use in the

In my judgment Unity Way

RAID HERE

As the result Of a raid on the
waiting room of the Tacoma free
employment bureau Wednesday
morning. in which every man pres
ent was forced to show his regis
tration card and explain why he
was out of work, NJ. Hewlett, age
"a, of Seattle, was taken to jail
and held as an anti-conscriptionist.
Hewlett had no registration
card, and confessed that he had
deliberately evaded the draft reg
istration because he did not want
to fight for his country.
The raid was conducted by
Boatswain Blocker of the navy;
Special Agent Adkins of the navy
intelligence bureau, and Policeman
Prezinger. Each of the Is or 20
men lettering the employment Of

All except Hewlett who were of

U-BOGt Efficiency Hindered
by British Naval Raid

The military expert of the New
ork Times, discussing the import
ance of the British success in clos
ing the submarine nests on the Bel
gian coast, says:
at Zeebrugge, and is now past his
tory Apparently it was in every
way successful, as reports indicate
that it has not yet been restored to
use. In fact, the aviators of the
allies have been usually active in
preventing any repairs and other
work incidental to the clearing of
the mouth OF the canal from pro-
ceeding.
"On Thursday night similar ac-
ton was carried out against Ostend
the only other remaining port
available for U-boat uses. The
British Admiralty, which, it may
we'll be remembered, is always eau
tious and conservative in it's state
ments, announces that the attempt
to close Ostend was a success. 1t
appears, then, that both of the bases
on the Belgian coast have been for
the time being destroyed or i'm
paired, and that the submarines
may have to return all the way to
Germany to be resupplied and re-
paired. This will greatly reduce
their efficiency. The efficiency of
any craft. whether as a means of
transportation or for offensive op-
erations is In inverse proportion to
the distance which 1t has to travel
before reaching its destination. This
