LESS SUGAR Is
ALLOTTED STATE
FOR new MONTH

Skulking submarines, a great mer-
chant fleet transformed into gigantic
ocean bridge over which America S
khaki clad army has marched into the
battlefield OF Europe, have combined
to put the people of the United States
once more to the test This time the
nation faces n shortage of sugar. This
time, instead of the national passion
for flakey white wheat bread and
fluffy cakes the national sweet tooth
has TO be combated and educated and
made to sacrifice its share to the Altar
of Liberty.
New allotment of sugar to consum-
ers, according to recent dispatches
from Washington. will be two
pounds per person per month. in
stead Of three pounds as formerly al
lowed. Colorado's entire sugar allot-
ment for July was 4.482, 900 pounds. In
August the state will be allowed only
z.1ss.00o pounds Of sugar which 10 .
decrease Of 1.%S<.000 pounds for this
state alone.
According to present calculations.
housewives will b able to obtain can
ming sugar up to . limited extent de-
eendins entirely upon the supply. Food
Admini4t{ASi0pSp pfflciAls urgs Ill houss-
wives TO use discretion IN their can
ming and avoid canning heavy jams
aal preserves which take much more
sugar than the canned whole fruits.
Officials also urge that wherever pos

stead OF canned ~ this process takes
No sugar whatever.
Never forget that the sugar situa-
tioa y serious and every Coloradoan
should bend every effort to the saving

By Frank Taylor, With the Ameri-

Yankees stormed the heights between

ALLIES ADVANCE 1s MILES

By Fred Ferguson, with the Amer
ican Forces in France. August l.
The French and American advance
has penetrated to a depth of nearly
19 miles since they started their coun-
ter-offensive. In praising the Amer
leans for their fighting spirit, Gen
eral De Goutte, who is commanding
the French army at that front, de
clared that the offensive was being
executed in a manner which spared
the Allied reserves.
The german resistance has stiffen-
ed north of the Ourcq and bitter fight
ing is now in progress there on the
plateau. Since crossing the Ourcq
river the Allies have used thanking
movements in an effort to squeeze
out the german machine gun detach-
ments that have been left behind TO
cover the retreat of the main body
of germans.

Washinqton, November 2

Washington, November 2.
HERE is the key-story to the con-
IL fusion and impotence of the
spy-catchers and sedition CURRIERS' of
the United States:
Three interned enemy aliens-Karl
Heynen, Hugo Schmidt and r. A..
Borgemeister were brought re-
Gently to New York by one of the
dozen Investigating bureaus - the
Alien Property Custodian. The pur-
pose was to extract information re-
garding German holdings. Since the
United States had no power of prose-
cution over the men the Alien Prop
erty authorities installed them at the
Hotel Imperial, treated them as we'll
as they could, and "jollied them
along" for a couple of weeks, until
they had them in a communicative
mood,
At this point--the maximum of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bureau
of the government summarily took
hand. The Bureau of Investigations
Of the Department of Justice, which
is in the last analysis responsible for
nterned enemy aliens, took fright
oyer the possibility that the old
charge of treating dangerous Ger
mans too well would be revived. The
bureau ordered the three men to
Ludlow jail.
They went-and went mum.
The office of the Alien Property
Custodian protested to Washington
and demanded that the men be put
IN its hands again. Perhaps they
could still be coddled back into com
municativeness.
