 ICE CREAM TO SAVE MORE SUGAR
Factory Output Reduced 25 and Confectioners'
 50 Per Cent.

Washington, June 22.-Restrictions on the use of sugar by na csulacturers will be drawn much tighter by new regulations effective July 1, it was announced today by Food Administra- tor Hoover. The new measures are expected to prevent serious scarcity for home consumption and ht the same time to put the nation on the three-pound per capita per month ra- ticn.
 Less essential manufactured pro- ducts will be allowed 50 per cent of the normal requirements in compari- son with the present allotment of 80 per cent. Several commodities he classed as essential foodstuffs in which sugar is used are placed in the non-esesntial food class in the new regulations.
 Sugar issued ice cream manufactur- CTS after July will be decreased to 75 per cent of the normal consump- ton. Soda fountains will be cut to 50 per cent of normal, and manufac- turers of preserved fruit for soda fountains will be on the 50 per cent basis. Ice cream made by soda foun- tains and confectioners on the prem ises will have it's sugar contents cut to 50 per cent of normal.

GERMANS REGARD YANKEE TROOPS

New Hun Division Facing Americans Are. Warned
 to be Cautions.

With the American Army in France June 22.-The American soldiers now are regarded by their German antag cnists as "bad boys," for whom the German soldiers are cautioned to look out, according to a yung German de. serter who surrended in the Ameri' can line on the Marne last night.
 This willing prisoner added that conditions in the Germans line con- stantly were growing worse. He had deserted because he was war weary and underfed, and he declared that many of his fellows would desert also if they had the chance.
 There have been lively machine gun and rifle fire actions and intermit- tept artillery fire in the norther sec tion of the Belleau wood where the Americans gradually are smoking out the remnants of the German machine gun nests. Otherwise the Marne front has been quiet.
 The 28th German division has been Relieved by the 87th.The newcomers are said to be only second rate di- vision, whereas the 28th was consid. cred by the Germans as one of their best.

 Year of II. s. Shipbuilding.

Washington, June 22.-Celebration of July this year will be made not able for all time by the launching from American shipyards of the larg- est number of ships of the greatest aggregate tonnage ever put into the water in one day.
 Independence day contributions to the merchant fleet on which the world is depending for victory over the Ger mans will be at least 89 vessels, with capacity of 439,886 deodweight tons. In addition enthusiastic work men are straining every nerve tc com pleta six other hulls in time for them to join in the splash that will be heard around the world, which would make the total tonnage 470,886.
 The conservative estimate of launch ing to take place on the day Ameri- cans venerate more than any other is one-third more than the entire pro duction of sea-going tonnage in the United States yards in the fiscal year of 1915-16 and exceeds by 42,050 tons the launching for 1901, the record pre-war year in American shipbuild- ing.

Number Increased 100000 Since Statement Lost

Washington, June 22.-Nine hum dred thousand men have been shipped across the seas, General March told newspaper correspondents at the weekly conference today. These in- American ports of authorization.
 The United States is today five months ahead of it's program for plac- ing an army in France, General March said.
 The figures on American troop ship ments are significant since General March, at the first conference last week fixed the number shipped at more than 8OO,00O, the addition of 100000 during the week showing the rate of progress that is being made.
 While the general battle situation looks good today, General March said, the present Hull on the western front means only that German combat di- visions are being reformed for an- other drive Viewing the whole situ- ation, including the Italian front, the chief of staff said that the central powers were again held on all fronts
 American troops have done well wherever the test of battle has come thus far, General March said regard ing the character of the troops, whether regulars, national guards, national army or marines.
 The fight at Cantigny, the most inn portant engagement in which Ameri- can troops have participated because it gave opportunity tc judge of the said, had been fought by the first di- vision, commanded by Major General Robert l.. Bullard. This division is now, he said, a thoroughly trained, high grade unti and was the first American division to reach France.

Austrian Situation Along Lower Piave Menaced
 by River.

The Italian Army Headuarqters in Northern Italy. June 22.-The second week of the great battle on the Italian front opens with the outstanding fact that the Austrians are unable to go forward
 Notwithstanding seven days of des- perate struggling in an attempt to straighten their foothold on this side of the Piave river, particularly on the Montello and at San Donna di Piave, the enemy forces have been held
 Italian military observers consider that the invaders position is such that he must abandon his attempts to obtain possession of both banks uf the Piave just as he was compelled to do last winter. At present the Aus trians on this side of the Piave are fighting mainly with machine guns, rifles and bayonets, as they have been unable to bring heavy artillery across.
 They therefore, are reduced to fighting for 9 few hundred yards of ground where the situation always IS precariOus to them because of the flooded river to their rear. The Aus trians have been for days on the ,ie fensive, the last Italian counter at tacks having given the defenders he initiative.
 In regard to the losses during the first week of the great offensive the Italian military authorities say that each side suffered approximately an equal number of casualties. IT., Aug >trian, claims. according to reports found in possession of prisoners, were that the Italians had sustained much greater losses.
