RED CROSS STIRS
SARDINIAN FERVOR
American Relief Officers Given Glad
Welcome by Islanders.

The first American relief for Sar-
dinia has been. carried by two Amer
lean Red Cross representatives,
Capt. Carroll, OF CaTrollton, and Capt
]. p. Stevens, according to a cable
gram from Rome Just received at
the National Red Cross headquar-
ters. Capts. Carroll and Stevens ar
rived at Sardinia, December II. and
visited Sassari and Cagliari. capitals
of the islands. They made a motor
trip through the mining districts.
The appearance of Americans in
army uniforms created the greatest
enthusiasm. In the smaller towns
crowds waited a half day for the
officers. In the chief cities the streets
were bedecked with flags and the
visitors were greeted by shouts of
Viva America"
Capts. Carroll and Stevens report
the spirit of the Sandman people
to be excellent. despite the suffer
ing to which they have been subject
ed. Everywhere the visitors heard
expressions of gratitude to America,
coupled with the feeling that the
alliance with the United States would
aid in a victorious conclusion of the
war.
At the hospitals the Americans made
inquiries to ascertain the sort of re-
lief most needed. Soon after the
return of the Red Cross representa-
tVes to Rome. a telegram was re-
ceived there expressing the gratitude
Of the Sandman authorities for the
relief already supplied.

COAL
PROVIDED FOR
OHIO PEOPLE
Fruit Trees Cut for Fuel
Fail to FIX Things for
Freezing People.

Ohio people are burning their fence
rails and pickets, and cutting down
fruit trees this winter because, ac-
cording to Attorney General Joseph
II. McGhee, of that State, they were
told last September by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield to rely on his "imag-
mary coal pile"
Testifying before the Senate Manu-
features subcommittee yesterday. At
torney General McGhee said he came
to Washington last September and
told DR.. Garfield that a fuel famine
was impending. He declared he ex-
planned to DR.. Garfield that the mines
were running below capacity produc-
tion, that most OF the coal was going
TO the Northwest, that the factories
had their coal under contract from
last spring, and that the domestic
consumers simply could not procure
coal for the winter. DR.. Garfield
then described his Imaginary coal
pile" plan, and asked him to be pa
tient until the coal needed by the
Northwest could be shipped.
This coal pile was mostly imagi-
nary" interrupted Senator Kenyon.
ence with the Federal Fuel Admin
istrator lasting through two months,
which failed to get coal for Ohio's
domestic consumers. Finally, be-
cause utility companies were also af-
fected. and there was no prospect
of relief. the State authorities COM
mandeered coal on the railroads.
There was then about 1000 car
loads of coal on sidings, McGhee
said, getting nowhere. He cited one
instance where four carloads on a
trip of thirty miles stood on a siding
midway between mine and consumer
from April to December.
Under government operation of rail-
roads. he predicted. conditions will
improve. At present. however, Ohio
is as badly in need Of coal as ever.

SUGAR SUPPLY
WILL BE FAIR,
SAYS HOOVER
Food Administrator Has
Warm Session with SEN
ate Committee.

Herbert c. Hoover. Food Admins
traitor. wound up his stormy session
before the Senate Manufactures sub
committee yesterday with the dec
laration that America will have
fair sugar supply this year. with
prices reasonable. The day was taken
IN by a sharp running fight between
Mr.. Hoover and Senator Reed. pre-
siding as chairman of the committee.
The question of Cuban. Louisiana,
been sugar and Hawaiian sugar
prices was threshed out again. Draw
ing from Hoover the statement that
the Louisiana supply of about 1S,OO0
tons was contracted for last fall
through the Food Administration, as
a protection" for the planters. Reed
asked what prices sugar would have
otherwise commanded.
Clashes with, Reed.
twenty-five or thirty cents a
pound Hoover answered.
Reed derided this form Of PRO
lection" and Hoover admitted there
was a contradiction Of terms.
Hoover denied that the admins
tration fixed prices, but admitted that
Il does fix profits. bringing from
Reed the taunt:
Then you get in the room, whether
YOU go through the door or not?
Hoover did not answer.
Then followed a wrangle over the
food control bill, which governs the
Food Administration. Reed asked
whether this bill had been violated
in regard to methods of determin-
ing pr.ses not under the natural law
OF supply and demand. Hoover an
swered that every action Of the ad-
ministration with regard to prices
had been taken at the advice of
counsel
Hoover went on TO point out that
no trade is so replete with private
and corporate quarrels as the sugar
trade. and that this bitter rivalry
has hampered the Food Admins
tration constantly.
Admits He Never Voted.
We have had an almost over
whelming response throughout the
country, however" he added, pro-
dueing a sheaf of twenty teIegFams
Of approval from Missouri, Senator
Reeds home State. These were
read into the record by Senator
Jones, of New Mexico. The whole
foundation of the Food Admins
tratiOn." Hoover continued. lis
based on cooperation of the Amer
lean people"
Senator Yardaman, of Mississippi,
took a hand in the questioning, and
brought out the fact that Hoover
has never voted in the United
states 1t was because OF moving
about. Hoover said. He admitted
he had spent most of his time in
England for the last ten years.
senator Vardaman then asked about
Hoover's stan.
Il have applied one test" Hoover
answered. IF a man is willing to
subject his interests to helping this
country win the war. 1 don't care
what his associations are"
Today Frank c. Lowry. secretary
Of the Federal Sugar Refining Com
pany, will testify.

This was because Elisha believed
that stewed rabbit would taste better
IL it had been frozen a few times.
The rabbit was hung high enough
TO be out of reach of any four-legged
thief. Somehow or other Elisha never
figured on the two-legged ones.
Wednesday afternoon, as he sat in
the kitchen smoking his pipe. he saw
a man sneak up to the window and
run off with the remains Of Br'er
Rabbit
Without a moments hesitation
Elisha grabbed his razor, the one he
kept exclusively for social purposes,
and started out.
But he found that he couldn't run
worth a cent. Rheumatism in his left
knee prevented him from catching his
man or his rabbit.
A cop had him before he got Il

the razor open in his hand ready to
perform an operation.
He had no proof that someone
swiped his rabbit. But he did prove
that he was a law-abiding character.

stole his dinner. The court let him

PREDICTS FURTHER
DELAYS ON SHIPS
Theodore Ferris Says All Plants
Are Handicapped.

Further delays are in store for the
shipping program, Theodore E. FeI-
ris. of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion, told the Senate Commerce Com
mittee yesterday. He predicted that
one Of the biggest firms building steel
ships will not be able to deliver a sin
gle vessel on schedule time.
Naming the American International
Shipbuilding Company. of New York,
which is due to deliver its first com.
pleted steel ship in September, Ferris
said he thought it hardly NkeIy the
company could complete its first ship
before the end of the year. Mr.. Fer
ris, who is supervising architect for
the corporation, described changes in
wooden ship specifications that held
up the wood ship program last fall.
Meyer Bloomfield asked the commit
tee to obtain power for the corpora
ton to commander housing and
transportation facilities in the region
Of shipyards throughout the country.
