Shreveport Wants Road
Work Pushed

Shreveport's Chamber of Com
merce has passed resolution ask
ing Judge Rufus e. Foster of the
United States District Court to ad-
vance the date of hearings on injunc-
ton suits Of the Texas and Pacific
Railway VS.. The Parishes Of Ayoyel-
les, St. Landry, Rapides, Natchi-
toches and Sabine, in relation TO the
issuance of road bonds.
The suits are holding up work on
the Jefferson highway between Baton
Rouge and Shreveport and in the
other parishes. The delay in road
building has hampered the compile
ton of the highway from New Or

is pointed out, will be Of great value
to the government in the transporta-

the Al camps, military schools and
cantonments on or near the road.

Sugar For Preserving
Purposes

The latest instructions from State
Food Administrator Parker on the
sugar situation advise local admin
istrators td notifyrmerchants that
sugar for preserving purposes should
take precedence over all other con-
sumers' demands. While no certifi
cate is required of the consumer who
desires more than the two-pound
amount for preserving it is request
ed that retailers keep concise rec
ord of such sales, mail them into the
parish administrator office and if
justified that office will then issue
the retailer in question a certificate
to cover the amount sold for preserv
ing.
Mr. Parker states that he cannot
rule positively at this time that such
an arrangement can be entered into,
but he repeats that requests for pre-
serving and canning must be hon
ored by the retailer in preference to
all other sugar sales. 1t is the pur-
pose and desire of the government to
have as great an amount of food
stuffs conserved by these methods as
possible.

region west of Rheims and
south Of the Marne the Ger
mans made their most desper-
ate attempts to penetrate the
allied line but their gains were
made only a yard at a time and
and at the greatest cost.
While so far the allies seem
to have the situation well in

into the conflict a large num-
ber of reserves. 1t is known
that a vast number Of these

Officials at Washington are
highly, gratified with reports

crisis of the offensive has not
