Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
fair distribution OF sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun-
try, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at a low sbb. We must
make Increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account Of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have Increased az well az 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 eff
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 sweetened
as. 1t is used.

ReIchstao Has Little Power.

OF the 1877 members of the reichstag,
Prussia sends 236. The body can be
dissolved at any time by the bundles
rat with the consent Of the emperor.
This power has been used effectively
three times to break down the resist
ance Of the reichstag-in 1878, when 1t
refused to pass the bill to suppress
the socialists; in 1887. when 1t would
not agree to fix the size Of the army
for seven years, and in 1893, when II
declined to change the military sys-
TEN. In each case the new body did
what the government demanded.
Since the principal financial arrange
ments are matters of standing law, If
the reichstag refuses to pass new
budget increasing allowances, or
passes one reducing them, the govern
ment can be carried on on the old basis
without any action on the part Of par
lament.
