\. T.. r. OFFICIAL PAPER
DISCONTINUES SPORT PAGE


The real reasons why the Stars and
Stripes, the official newspaper OF the
American expeditionary forces pub
lished in Paris. abolished its sport
page. are explained 1t length in late
issue Of the paper
The reason will cause every 100
per cent American to agree with the
editors Of the sheet. They are a nice,
bank-handed slap at the athletes who
arc still on this side Of the creek,
taking things easy.
The article follows:
This Is the last sporting page the
Stars and Stripes will print until an
allied victory brings back peace.
"The reasons for the decision to dis
continue an ancient institution are al
most as numerically great as allied
shells crashing into German lines.
They are at least sufficiently
thick to pulverize or blot out any
objections that might be offered by
those whe have yet failed to see the
light.
This paper realizes the great aid
sport has given in the past in devel-
cping physical stamina and enduring
morale among thousands Of those
now making up the nations army
1T recognizes the value of such
training in the future. 1t was sport
that first taught our men to play the
game, to play it out, to play ii hard
II was sport that brought out the
value Of team work, of long, hard
training, and the knack of thinking
quickly at vital point of the contest
But sport as spectacle, sport as
an entertainment for the side liners
has passed on and out. Its glamour
in a competitive way has faded. Ii
leading stars are either in the iror
harness of war-or forgotten-unti
Germany is beaten.
The Stars and Stripes appreciates
IN full sports abiding value and th'
countless thousands OF well-traine'
men It has sent into line. But thes
men have given up the glory of tn
sporting page boost and the old ac
tion snapshot. They are not to b
mentioned today because their jo
has taken another hue.
There are tennis and golf cham
pion9, football players glore, trac
stars without number boxers and bal
players who have traded the eas
Glcry they knew at home for tn
hard, ungloriiied grind of the S. {
$. or the bloody heritage of tn
western front. And their fame her
belongs with the mass, not with IL
dividual mention.
Neither is there space, entertain
ment or policy in attempting to har

SUGAR SHORTAGE HITS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL

In Spain and Portugal sugar prices
nre soaring. Both countries have been
seriously affected by the short beet
sugar crop in Europe and the lack OF
ocean tonnage TO move stocks Of cane
sugar isolated In far away ports.
Granulated sugar, home grown, was
being sold in Barcelona, Spain, during
the early summer at 10 cents pound.
The price of brown sugar in Lisbon,
Portugal, fixed by governmental order,
was $l.04 to SLIP pound.
BY comparison the price Of beet
sugar In Sweden is IA cents pound.

Washington. President Wilson
Thursday issued this statement on the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign:
Recent events have enhanced, not
lessened, the importance of this loan,
and hope that my fellow countrymen
will let me say this to them very
frankly The best thing that could
happen would be that the loan should
not only be fully subscribed, but very
greatly oversubscribed. We are in
the midst of the greatest exercise Of
the power of this country that has
ever been witnessed or forecast, and
single day of relaxation in that eff
fort would be of tragical damage alike
to ourselves and to the rest of the
world Nothing has happened which
makes it safe or possible to do any
thing but push our effort to the ut

response must be complete.
