Louisiana Asks Chance For
The Enormous Amount
OF Second Sugars
On Hand
Sales Of These Sugars Will Pro-
vide For The Proper Hand
ling And Conservation Ut
The Coming Crop

Louisiana has about ten million
mounds of second and third sugars
on hand, which were worked up in
June. The sugar producers depend
ed upon the sale of these sugars to
provide much of the money for the
preparation for the harvesting and
conversion of the coming crop. The
price fixed for these sugars is fairly
satisfactory, but the planters say
there has been little possibility of
sale because of the sugar distribution
system. With the industries cut
down to the lowest notch they natur-
ally confine purchases to the highest
grade sugar so as to secure the most
sweetening the law allows. The Sec
ond and third sugars provide six or
more degrees less sweetening and
were, therefor, drug in the market.
The planters claim that the rules
would force an eventual sacrifice to
the refneries, who would not reduce
their margin of profit accordingly,
so that the refners would be the only
people benefited. They urge an
amendment to the rules SO that the
second and third sugars would be adj
mitted to the allotment on their
sweetening value, instead of on the
quantity basis. Geo. M. Rolph, head
Of the sugar division Of the United
States Food Administration, after re-
fusing to make any exceptions, argu-
ing that opening the door would have
tendency to disrupt the entire dis
tribution system, has consented to
give Louisiana a special hearing and
an early conference will take place.
Jno. M. Parker, Food Admins
traitor for Louisiana, has in the mean
time come to the rescue as far as this
state is concerned The July allot-
ment Of 100000 pounds was cut
to a little over 100000 pounds for
August. A reduced distribution was
made among the dealers, bakers, eat
ing places and other essentials. The
remainder is being divided among the
on-essentials and less essential in
dustries, and the outlook was that
many of these would be seriously
crippled. In order to give them as
much sugar as possible without en-
trenching upon the short supply Of
high grade sugars, Mr.. Parker avoid
ed further cutting down in large
number of cases by permitting them
to purchase second and third sugars
in place Of the higher grade, which
gave them very nearly as much sweet
ening material as they previously
had. This will work double benefit,
as the welfare of the state is to a

NO MORE FRITZ DOGS.

Cincinnati, O., July 31.-Exit the
Boche daschund from the society Of
Cincinnati dogdom.
No longer will the lengthy CANNES,
which tradition has associated with
link sausages, find company with de-
cent fidoes. A U. S. Marine Corps
poster was responsible for the Ger
man doggie's social demise here.
The poster depicts an American
bulldog chasing a German daschund
with the words, "Teufel Hunden
Devil Dogs, German nickname fer
U. S. Marines"
Since the appearance of the Ma
rine poster the local daschunds, of
which there are great number. have
led miserable existence, as small
boys have "sicced" bulldogs, terriers,
hounds and every other breed of ca
nine on the poor "Fritzies," until at
last they have been practically driven
off the streets of Cincinnati.

large extent bound up with that OF
the sugar industry.
Official ban has been placed upon
sherbets just as it was 1pon the
"snowballs." the newsboyss summer
delight. There is an immense summer
trade in sherbets in New Orleans and
other Louisiana cities. Outside OF
their cooling effect, the only food
value in sherbet is the sugar con-
tents. This sugar demand made it
impossible to continue manufacture
in view of the decreased allowance.
Enterprising soda fountain operators
thought they saw way out by utlllz-
ing concentrated syrups instead OF
sugar and applied for permission to
do so. The matter was referred to
Washington, which has ruled that
sherberts be discontinued entirely
without regard to the manner of their
making. 1t also intimated that Louis
lana did not spring anything new in
the application. The question had
already been discussed with the ma
tional refreshment industry, the use
of ice as we'll as sugar was involved,
and the National Ice Cream Manu-
facturers' Association has voluntarily
discontinued the production of sher-
bets. Louisiana was, therefore, asked
to smilingly do the same. Ice cream
is about the last resort of the tastes
which crave for combination of cool
ness and sweetness.
Citizens from this and other states,
who recently have travelled, congratu-
late Louisiana upon the patriotic
manner in which she is observing the
sugar conservation rules. Mr.. Park
er, because of his office, is in closer
touch with the spirit, for he has had
daily callers voluntarily conveying
information of sugar possession in ex-
cess Of the government limit with of
fers to surrender the surplus. The
parish administrators report many
similar cases. Jos. Ramirez, adminis-
traitor for East Baton Rouge, becam1
convinced that the Mayer Hotel, at
the capital, had more sugar than the
rules permitted, and in order to find
out, he and W. P. Connell, the district
administrator, made charge in the
Federal Court, which provided a
search warrant. 1t proved that not
only were the hotels returns incor
rect, but that it was boarding some
1900 pounds of sugar. A hearing
before E. T. Merrick, head of the
Enforcement Division at New Or
leans, was marked by a frank admis-
sion of the Mayors, who said that the
legislature rush had forced them to
depend upon employees to look after
the sugar matter and that the mixup
had resulted without their knowledge.
In view Of their wheatless and other
food conservation record, Mr.. Mer-
rick ordered them to pay a fine Of
$1,000 to the Red Cross and to dis
tribute their sugar among BATON
Rouge charities. The sentence has
been complied with. The court charge
has been dropped, its main object
having been to obtain the search war
rant. C. D. Kalmbach, food admin

The rumored and expected changes

Attack Aims to Wipe
Out Hun Position in
and About MontdidieT
By Associated Press

Paris, Aug. S.-Franco-B British
troops at o'clock this morning be-
gan an offensive in the region south
east of Amiens. the war Office an
nounces.
The attack is developing under ia
vorable conditions.
An attack southeast of Amiens
probably is aimed at weakening, if
not to wipe out, the German position
in and around Montdidier, where the
battle line swings to the north. The
British troops hold a sector south
of the Somme which joins up with
the French lines south of Villers-
BretonneauX. Late last week the
Germans withdrew to the east of the
AVre in the region west and north
west of Montdidier. Since then the
French have been gaining ground on
the same front.
A line from the Somme to the
Avre and thence south along the
river faces fairly open country and
the region of Picardy in front of it
is part of the region devastated by
the Germans in their retreat from
the Somme in March, 1917. A break
through in the Montdidier region
would have a menacing effect on the
German lines from Rheims to Ypres.
American troops have been hold
ing part of the French line at
Cantigny, west of Montdidier.
