SUGAR FOR CANNING =
Can Only Be Secured Upon the Sign
ing of Proper Certificates in the
Hands of Dealers.
Special to The Observer.

Special to The Observer.
Columbia, June 25.-Under new
sugar regulations recently announced,
limiting purchases of sugar for
household use to two pounds to in
dividuals residing in cities and
towns and to. five pounds to indlvad-
uals residing in rural sections, sugar
can be secured for canning and pre-
serving fruits and vegetables upon
the signing of certificates which deal
ers throughout the state are furnished
by the food administration.
For canning and preserving pur-
poses twenty-five pounds OF sugar
per month can be obtained by any
person; but the sugar must be uGed
for this purpose only, and the per-
son obtaining it will be required to
sign pledge to return to the dealer
any sugar so bought and not used for
canning and preserving.
1t is regarded as important by the
food administration that as much
perishable food products as possible
be canned this summer, not so much
for market as for home use next VIII
ter. Conservation of sugar must nee
essarily be practiced, but provision
has been made to provide sugar for
canning and preserving purposes in
order that a great waste OF perishaDle
food products may be avoided. Moth
ing that can be saved should be al
lowed to go to waste.
Every household is urged to put up
at least a few cans and jars OF fruits
and vegetables.

The Military Order Foreign Wars of

Wilson has recently been admitted as

increase in membership through the
imitation of officers of the army, navy
and the marines who are serving in the
present war with Germany.
This military order was instituted in
1894, by the few surviving officers Of
the War of 1872, together with their
I1neal descendants and those of the
War of the Revolution. Previous to
the opening of the present war the
general commandery of the order was
composed OF twenty-five state com
mandcrles with a membership of about
hfteen hundred companions. The wars
represented by these members are the
american Revolution. War with Tripoii
War OF 1912, Mexican War, Spanish
American War, China campaign. Mex-
lean border campaign, Vera Cruz cam

"Robert NJ. Gooch, was a Rhodes
scholar, from Virginia, and one of the
best drivers in the service. He went
ont on that road while it was still
under fire of the guns which killed
Kelly. He went by himself. too, with
no one to walk in front Of his ambul
ance to guide him through the shell
holes. There was one, a treacherous
place filled with water, but he went
right through it and didn't stop for
shells or anything until he had found
Sanders lying near Kelly, and brought
him in. Then he went out again
through the same fire and brought the
two wounded Frenchmen back.
"Meanwhile, Perry, our chief, had
had telephone call telling him OF
the accident, and had started his own
ambulance out on the road. 1t was

NIcCOuIl, koOHlue, rance, Dec. ~.
THE sphere of the Smith College
Relief Unit is not bounded. as
one might infer from my previous
sketches, by its headquarters at Gre
court.
The sixteen villages in our charge
are served by our medical staff of two
physicians and three nurses; by our
five social service visitors; by our farm
department, which sells chickens, rab-
bits and milk and buys fodder, fruit
and vegetables and last, and most I'M
usual, by our travelling store.
This is in charge of two younger
members of the unit who qualified
early for the work
One became famous in the submarine
zone, not for hcroism, which she had no
opportunity to display, but for firmly
refusing to give up the two steamer
chairs in which she, like other less do
termlned members of the party, spent
the nights on deck Our chairs were
unceremonously pushed aside by the
crew, preparing to hose the deck in the
gray OF dawn. Not SO hers. The unit
rudcly aroused, heard her voice crisn-
~ announcing, Take my chair? guess
mott" And the deck hands understood
the tones, if not the words. and lef.
her IN possession. Her partner rose to
equal prominence by being the first
passenger to reach the cabling office at
our port of arrival. In other words. our
two storekeepers are among the mum
Der of those practical hustlers of whom
Smith College is perhaps most proud.

They Served for
Love of France

They came as volunteers, a few for
the adventure, all for love Of France
The record of these 5000 is not merely
hard work. or suffering, or brave deeds
sometimes rewarded with the Croix de
Guerre; the young men of America have
given life and limb as we'll for the
cause of France. Twelve were killed
in the field, many were wounded, and
as with the armies of all nations, there
is another list of sickness and death as
the additional price they paid.
The ambulance work began with the
war. In October. 1914, the first unit
was organized in London, and came to
Cross. Richard Norton, of Boston, was
the chief. This service later became
the Norton-Harjes Ambulance, and had
200 boys as drivers.
The American Field Service grew out
of the American hospital at Neuilly.
In the first weeks of the war ten Ford
machines were donated, and in Deem
Der, 1914, were operating in Paris. The
service was permitted to go into the
field in April, 1915, and in April, 1917,
after the American declaration Of war,
was further privileged to engage in
military operations, that is, the canton
service behind the Chemin des Danes.
Eight hundred served in the latter, and
the total number on the rolls of the
organization is 1000. A. Piatt An
drew, formerly Assistant Secretary of
the United States Treasury, and for
two years treasurer of the American
Red Gross, was inspector general of
the field service, in charge Of all its
operations.
The French War Office at first was
reluctant to permit the Americans to
go to the front. The country remain
ing neutral, it was thought inexpedi-
ent to permit it's nationals to observe
military operations, of which close con-
tact with the fighting gave many OPP
portunities, and unfair to expose the
boys to the dangers which only those
conscripted as soldiers had hitherto
faced.
From April, 1915, the history of the
ambulance is the history Of the French
participation in the war. Every cam
paign found the Americans more in
number, more experienced, better
equipped. They wore the French he'll
their uniforms were khaki. With the
poilus, they learned the need of the
mask at the Battle of the User, in
1915, for they, too, suffered at the first
German gas attack.
The glory of Verdun is shared by
these American youths. In February,
1916, when the poilu said to the Boche
You shall not pass" and thousands
followed thousands into the breaches
the Germans made in the defcnccs. the
ambulances crept closer and closer to
the lines. Many time they hid amid
the ruins, less than two miles from
the front trenches, in advance of the
big French guns, and always in danger
of bombardment.
"The Boche would just as soon she'll
