Our objection to this amend

endurn, which we already
have, it takes away rights we
enjoy under the present pro-
visions in the state constitu-

privileges. [

Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing cen
ters OF the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies German sugar
is, Of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because Of
the ship shortage.
While L boats made big inroads on
the worlds shipping, France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining in sugar
manufacture. England I'm the mean
time was cut OF from German sugar
100000 tons year-becnuse OF the
war. The result has been that the al
lied nations have been forced to turn
TO America and the West Indies for
their sugar.

Effect on Military Situation.

ed 10 normal very soon II ships could
be sent to Java, where 250,OO0 tons Of
sugar is waiting for shipment But
the shipping situation is SO acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed TO transport this sugar
II would take the boats one year TO
haul 2500O0 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
1000 soldiers to France.

that the American public will diminish

were also compelled to rely upon the

fortunate. for the reason tina. the
French production could barely meet
the requirements of their own armies.
1T should be fully realized that the
French government has always taken
a most liberal attitude and has been
stble assistance in meeting our de-
hcienciea in these as well as in other
respects. Our dependence upon France
for artillery. aviation and tanks was,

Enemy Efficient, Courageous.

1.-The German army had as yet shown
no demoralization, and while the mass
Of its troops had suffered in morale.
its f1rst-class divisions and notably
it's machine gun defense were exhib-
iting remarkable tactical efficiency as
well as courage. The German gen.
eral staff was fully aware of the con-
sequences Of a success. on the Meuse-
Argonne line. Certain that he would
do everything in his power to oppose
us, the action was planned with as
much secrecy as possible and was
undertaken with the determination to
use all our divisions in forcing deci-
sion.
1--WE expected to draw the best Ger
man divisions to our front and to
consume them while the enemy was
held under grave apprehension lest
our attack should break his line,
which 1t was our firm purpose to do.
Our right flank was protected by
the Meuse, while our left embraced
hills and elaborate defense, screened
by dense thickets, had been generally
considered impregnable. Our order of
battle from right to left was the Sd
Corps from the Mouse to Malancourt,
with the SD, S0th and 4th divisions in
line. and the Sd Division as corps re-
serve; the 5th Corps from Malancourt
to Vauquois, with 18th, S7th and 91st

far greater effort has been put forth

assist us than could have been eN-
pected. The French government and
army have always stood ready to
furnish us with supplies, equipment
and transportation and to aid us in
every way. In the towns and ham
lets wherever our troops have been
stationed or billeted the French poo
pie have every where received them
more as relatives and intimate friends
than as soldiers of foreign army.
For these things words are quite
inadequate, to express our gratitude.
There can he no doubt that the re-
.lations growing out of our associa-
tions here assure a permanent friend
ship between the two peoples. Al
though we have not been so init
mately associated with the people of
Great Britain yet their troops and
ours when thrown together have al
ways warmly fraternized. The re-
ception of those of orr forces who
have passed through England and of
those who have been stationed there
has always been enthusiastic. Alto
gether 1t has been deeply IMPRESSED
upon US that the ties of Language
and blood bring the British and our
selves together completely and IN
separately.
