and are giving their time and atten-

American Willingness to Give Up

STAND WITH THE ALLIES
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted
Famine at Homo In Spite
Of Low Supplies

The fact that the people OF the
United States We're able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conelu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption OF sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
total OF 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began TO reach lis height, consumption
was reduced 10 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons Went into dis
trihution and in September only 279,-
900 tons. IN October the distribution
fell TO 10000 tons.
Ii The general public had failed to
observe the injuuciions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the tbroes Of sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were 50 low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption TO point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux.

Few accomplishments Of ne Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-.
dominanily as this reduced consump

to bridge over the period Of stringency

Now the nation is In position SO
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to go
far atield can maintain Its recent re-
strlcted rations. II, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them

BISHOP JOHN ]. 0'CONH0R
TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL

Bishop John j. o'Connor Of Newark
thus expresses his approval Of the Red
Cross Christmas roll call:
"A citizen of the United States can
offer no valid excuse for failure to en-
roll himself In the American Red Gross
Society. An organization whose one
great principle is humanity has the
right to culI all men to Its standard.
The Red Cross appeals to the common
human In US. II aims at giving hne
words, like sympathy and pity and
mercy, some practical value. The world
has waited long time for an organI-
zation which could give to vague feel
ings Of sympathy wide, practical ap-
plication. The American Red Cross
fnlAlls every requirement Of broadly
humanitarian association. 1t accepts
only universally admitted principles
It limits Its operations to no particu-
lar class. 1t sides with no party. It
asks Of its members but two things
that they have pity on suffering wher-
ever found and that they have the will
TO relieve misfortune.
'sThe appeal Of the Red Cross for an
Increased membership should be In.
stantly needed The man who fails to
heed this call places himself outside
the pale. He does not feel with his
native land. He is not one with his
kind. Here is our opportunity to join
In work which gives to religion and
Its teaching present value. Place your
names on the rolls Of the American
Red Cross

WILL GIVE COMFORT KITS.

Because Of limited room on the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage OF soldiers However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our boys.
the American Red Cross is arranging
for as large freight shipments Of these
as possible to be distributed through
its Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
burly soldier boy was as pleased as
punch over some simple puzzle that
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance is told Of u
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and DIT and with
not even as much a. Z toothbrush In

four months and the Germans were

WHY AMERICA NEEDS

George q. Scott, general manager
Of the American Red Cross. thus ex-
plains the necessity for the Christmas
Roll Call:
"The response that the people Of the
United States make when the Christ
