A statement accompanying the
order indicated that the new re-
strictions might be made to apply
to other camps or stations later. but
for the present the order applies 10
the following. Hampton Roads: the
training camp at Mare island, Calf.

co. Va, and Port Royal. :. c.. and
Newport r. l.; Great Lakes train
ing station near Chicago, and train
ing stations at Norfolk. Va.
Within the five mile zone, under
authority OF the selective service
act, the secretary forbids the sale
or giving away of any alcoholic liq-
uOr. including wine or beer or the
importation Of such liquors. except
for medical or sacramento pur-
poses. As the army has done i'm its
regulations. an exception is made
Of the serving of liquor in private
homes TO guests or members Of the
family.
In this statement explaining the
order, Mr. Daniels said il had be
come necessary to protect the young
sailors gathered for training. He
referred at length to conditions at
Newport and at Vallejo. Calf. near
the Mare island station, which he
said the local authorities had been
vainly urged to correct.
Mems Welfare Endangered.
For many months" said the
statement, the evils resulting from
the presence of intoxicating liquor
in vicinity Of certain places under
naval jurisdiction has been brought
repeatedly TO the attention of the
department. BY various means this
liquor finds its way into the posses
sion Of enlitsed men of the navy
and marine corps stationed at these
places. and the moral and physical
welfare Of these men is thus being
seriously endangered
"A so-called dry zone of only a
half mile in width surrounding
these stations would be ineffective
inasmuch as, in certain cases, a
considerable area in which the OBJ
jectionabie trade in liquor flourishes
would not thus be covered. It is
therefore. the strong conviction Of
responsible officers of the spot that
the dry zone about these places
should he the full five miles in
width. irrespective of the fact that
an incorporated city or town lies
within such distance
The department strongly con-
ours in these views and considers
that conditions amplify the estab-
lishment Of such zones which is
most earnestly recommended by all
that are interested i'm the efficiency
and welfare of the naval service.
There are cited below some facts
and quotations regarding the situa-
ton at the places mentioned
In regard to Newport. the score

Every 5,OOO-ton ship which

If we can save the Allies

travaSant use and waste are a
War has disturbed the
whole worlds sugar supply.
1t has not only wiped out any
available surplus, but it has
put all nations on a hand-to-
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first to feel the pinch.
Before the war, enough sugar
was produced ON the Con-
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today, two thirds Of this
suSar-producing area is with
in the battle lines.
England, France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for a supply Of this
indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
its cane sugar. During 1917,
Cuba sold and shipped to
Europe nearly 100000 tons
Of raw sugar-one-third Of its
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
Of sugar as food in this coun-
try, the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor in combating
waste. 1t enabled the Ameri-
can housewife to add to the
store Of the food Of the ma
ton at a time when fruits
and vegetables were plenti-
full and cheap.
The sugar is not only in the
fruit jar, but it has carried
into the pantrieS Of the coun-
try a vast supply Of fruit and
vegetables which would
otherwise have been lost.
Sugar itself is not only a food,
but it is also the great pre-
server of other foods.
As the demand for sugar
grew, both here and abroad,
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton in Porto Rico and other
cane sugar countries was &C
ouired. But this was not
enough, and the shortage
came.
