The fighting in Russia has begun to
assume proportions which will at
tract considerable attention, if present

from Batum, on the Caspian sea,
northward along the western foot

ga river and then swinging more to
the northwest until t reaches Omega
bay, an arm of the Arctic ocean.
Announcement is made from Toxic

Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in it's efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the eoun.
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb. We must
make Increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disan-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur.
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account Of the shin.
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirement,
have increased a. well ae those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half !:
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every Of.
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts Of sugar
Later, when the sugar supply is larg-
er, the canned fruit may be sveetened
as 1t Is used.
