Effect on Military sItuatlon.

American sugar stocks could be fill
ed to normal very soon if ships could
be sent to Java, where 250,00O tons of
sugar is waiting for shipment. BUT
the shipping situation is so acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ships needed to transport this sugar.
It would take the boats one year to
haul 250,000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
100000 soldiers to France.
The food administration believes
that the American public will diminish
its sugar consumption by 10 or 10 per
cent. when it is made clear that such
sugar saving is a patriotic act and
when 1t is understood that there are
plenty Of sweeteners available to take
the place Of sugar, such as honey or
corn syrup,

the foundation stores of our lives. Our
present crisis is rest of present viz
tue as well as past atta!nments. It has
developed the developed selfisbness and
cOwardice Of many. In essence it is q
breaking down Of the mutual conf
dence on which all large business trans
actions are based Then the walk by
faith gives place to that by sight, then
faith in man and God is cast off.
Faithiess cowardice spreads like
demon of destruction from one weak
nature to another, united it is an ire
sistible force.
What IS needed is true courage, which
is victory over ones selfish timiditv,
a virtue essential to completeness Of
character; and which is the outgrowth
of faith i'll and allegiance to the true
king. This spirit in the nation will free
it from sudden gusts of fright which
shake the business world For the lack
OF this we pay fearfully high prices.
Cowardlce is closely related to cruelty.

nature or cause of 1t may be, develops

trample women and children in the mad

circles we have men saving themselves

They have gathered up all the money
they could and locked it up for them

general peril, or forces factories to
shut down and banks to close. Their
excuse Is, every man for himself. Such
maXims do not belong to any stage of
life ON our earth, faulty as it may be,
except among ,bruteS. If no higher
principle of action than this should
govern society, the Jesutal principle of
the survival of the fttest would soon
be established. But even the savage
has risen above that. Such men are
barnacles on the ship of state They
use the blessings and privileges, the
methods and offences of civilization to
shield themselves in a course of con-
duct. which is spurned by any rational,

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Hen Must Work; Dogs Don't. The
Latter Consumes ana not Produces.

To the citizens of Garrett County.
The question of DOG LAW has
again come to the front. 1t is not a
question OF whether or not we need a
law for the protection of sheep, but the
real question is-DO WE WANT A
DOG LAW? If we do, now is the time
to get to work and get one. There Is ex-
tremeIy more truth than poetry when it
comes to the dog proposition. Every
one knows that the dog law of the past
has been the cause of lot of social and
political unrest. Our law makers are
not going to work up enmity against
themselves by enacting dog law that
will not meet with public opinion.
Ii ever there existed a time when
Garrett county citizens should agree on
some sort Of a dog law, now is the time.
The unrestrained dog is not only IN
popular with the sheep grower. the
farmer, and the townspeople, but the
Federal Government has tabooed him.
He is a consumer and not producer
at time when the best of men cannot
be without work, and not get into the
hands of the law on account of it. IF
IT is IMPORTANT TO HAVE LAW
COMPELLING MAN TO BE A PRO
DUCER, IS IT NOT HIGH TIME
THAT WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THE IDLE DOG WHICH CONS UMES
WHAT MAN PRODUCES. He will
make good meat scrap Tor poultry, and
his hide is worth money. ARE WE
GOING TOALLOW THESE ANIMALS
MORE PRIVILEGES THAN WE OUR
SELVES HAVE? THINK 1T OVER,
MEN!

A Trip From Deer Park to London
l wanted to go to London by way of
New York.
AS the through tram did not stop at
Deer Park, boarded one at Oakland.
Our first stop was at Piedmont, the
next Cumberland. The important places
| passed were Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia.
After my arrival in New York went
to the docks and boarded the steamer
"Queensmore." AS this was my first
trip to New York wanted 10 visit that
CITY, but my ship was ready TO start.
AS soon as | en- cred the ship | was
shown my cabin; then | went to the
upper deck to see the ship leave the
dock.
l did not get lonesome crossing the
ocean. Imet many people who were
going abroad.
When the ship stopped at Queenstown
to deliver mail, our wireless operator
notified the captain that he had picked
up message going to some submarine
base notifying them that the steamer
"Queensmore" was being watched by
submarines. This caused much excite
ment among the passengers. but the
captain told them to keep cool We did
not leave there until after dark.
A warship accompanied our ship
through ST. Georges Channel to Liver
pool. There we took train for London.
The trains are smaller in England
than the ones in cur country.
After my arrival went to the hotel,
ate my lunch, and retired TO my room.
The next day | went to see the sights
of the city. Among them were West
minister Abbey and London Tower.

Succumb of CARROTS Men.
Private James A. Chisholm enlisted
in Co. K, 38th Infantry. U. S. Regulars,
Sept. 8, 1917, and died at Camp Green,
N. c., Jan. IA; 1918, aged 20 years, 9
months and days.
He was the first soldier called from
his native county to give his life to his
country during the present war. AL
though God in his infinite wisdom saw
fit to call him home before he went in
to actual battle we feel that he did all
he could for his flag and the land of his
birth. The angels could do no more.
His perfect willingness to obey every
thing that was asked of him by his
superiors, no matter how hard, without
the least rnurmur from the time he en-
listed until his death, all go to show the
good soldier that he was. The funeral
was held Sunday afternoon, Jan. goth,
at the Chisholm home near Gormania,
being conducted by Rev. Orr, of the
NJ. E. church, who paid very touching
tribute to the deceased. He spoke very
highly of his loyalty and patriotism to
his country. The flowers were beauti-
full, one wreath coming from his COM
pany showing he was not forgotten by
his comrades in arms. The following

Sugar control has saved the Amer

err, United States food administrator,
declared the other day.
He pointed out that sugar was sell

and that it would have advanced 10 20

every 1 cent raise in sugar from
September l to January l means SIS
100000 to the American consumer"
Mr. Hoover said. Numbers of gen.
tlemen will tell you that 20 cent sugar
would have prevailed and the public
robbed of $1S0,000.000 this year if we
had not taken these actions Later
Mr. Hoover called attention to the fact
that uncontrolled sugar advanced to
80 cents a pound during the Civil War
France Cot Cur Sugar.
Today the American public has been
allotted 40 per cent Of its normal sup
ply. Before the war the average an
nual household consumption here was
50 pounds a person. In England the
annual consumption during the war is
"a pounds and in France each person
is allotted a little over one pound a
month.
''In August the French government
found itself unable to maintain even
this ration" Mr.. Hoover declared.
AN appeal was made to America.
France needed 100000 tons. We
agreed to fill this demand and up TO
December had shipped S5426 tons. In
the meantime an appeal was made to
the American public to reduce its sug-
ar consumption, and requests were
made to distributors to supply the
confectionery and sweet drinks trade
with so per cent. Of normal supply

taller is able today to buy sugar at

enables him to sell to the housewife at

There have been some violations Of
the sugar rulings. Mr.. Hoover said
recently: "Sales of sugar from 1G To-
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop
ped and is evidence itself of the prices
at which consumers would have been

Why Shortage Exists.

The three great sugar producing cen
tiers of the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies. German sugar
is. of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar is unavailable because Of
the ship shortage.
While Z boats made big inrOads on
the worlds shipping, France and Italy
ceased to be self sustaining in sugar
manufacture. England in the mean
time was cut off from German sugar
100000 tons a year-because of the
war. The result has been that the al
lied nations have been forced to turn
to America and the West Indies for
their sugar.
