Next Saturday evening at
Phelps theatre, the picture,
"The 4th of July in Paris" will
be shown. 1t may interest our
readers to know that Guymon
boy, Lloyd E. Alderman, was in
the parade, and from a letter
which he wrote home, and
which recently appeared in
The Guymon Herald, we take
the following:
There were a few men from
each company allowed to at
tend the grand 4th of July par
ade in PariS There Mere eight
men from Go. B. | Mas lucky
| guess to get such an opportun-
ity.
On the Place de'lAlma hun
dreds of people had gathered
by 7 o'clock in the morning.
Most of the great crowd wore
small American flags and
French flags in their hats, belts,
coats, etc. The houses, stores,
and all else were decorated
with the Star Spangled Banner
and French Tri-color.
AS we passed the wounded
French soldiers we received a
cheer that will be remembered
a lifetime by those who heard
it.
The scene became more and
more brilliant as we continued.
Around Washington Monu-
ment flowers and ferns were
arranged in profuSion.
During the parade American
Aviators were flying continual
ly above us, doing all kinds of
stunts. ~t
We were smothred with
beautiful flowers during the
march, everyone throwing
them-several places the flow
ers were as deep as A and 5
inches in the streets.
AS we passed the principal
places everyone was at atten-
ton. with hats off, until we.
came along with our helmets
and combat packs on just as we
were in the trenches. Then
would come the greatest out
burst of cheering l ever heard,

CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED

The world today 10 producing forty
per cent less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as we'll as the
neutrals, the U. s. Food Administra.
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop Of
I9l7-l9l8 is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the l917-191S crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons In excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half of
the world cane crop. and the Java sug-
ar Is too Far removed from America to
transport when shipping Is badly need
ed TO transport and maintain the mill
tnry forces in France
In Java large part of the old sugar
crop Is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties Of obtaining adequate shipments
Of lava sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar is now only 291
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break Of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 752,542 tons of
sugar each year. For 1917-1S the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies.
France nevertheless managed to manu.
facture more beet sugar in 1917-1S
than in 1857, when the total output
was 202,415 tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 100000
tons Of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
110.250 less than the annual output Of
sugar for the eve year pre-war pc

American infantrymen have had the
rare experience of bagging u German
airplane with their rifles. A German
airman recently appeared over the
town OF ST. Die, in the Vosges noun
tains. He was flying so low that he
had difficulty IN escaping the fire OF
the Americans and his machine caught
momentarily on the tower of the city
hail. Two military policemen fired al
the machine with their pistols, but
the aviator did not appear TO be am
noyed and continued his observation.
Before flying off toward the east he
raked the ground with machine gun
fire, wounding a civilian.
Unfortunately for the German, he
passed over a company of infantry
resting at the side of the road. The
officer in command ordered the mer
to fire at the machine and every rifle
in the company came into action. The
machine fell in flames,

Bulgaria and will pass through Sofia
so the Bulgarian population win see
that forces are being sent to their as

penhagan dispatch quoting the

says.
ut must therefore be hoped that
the king and the pro-German ele-
ments must again soon be masters Of
the situation" Theodor Wolff is
quoted as writing in the Berlin fage-
blatt.
Premier Malinoff is supported by
only part of the Bulgarian general
assembly, writes Herr Wolff who has
Just returned from Bulgaria, "and
such efforts as are proceeding We're
prepared while the kings of Saxony
and Bavaria were visiting Sofia. Ma
linoffs plan is to give up the terri
tories taken from Serbia and to de-
mand compensation in Turkish terri
tory"
The Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin says
Premier Hallnoffs action opens the
prospect of grave times but that a
fateful step may be prevented by the
Intervention of German and Austrian
troops, adding:
I'VE must use all the means at our
disposal to maintain connections with
Constantlnople. German troops will
not only protect the Bulgarian state
bat German troops in Bulgaria and
