The Toll France Has Paid.

FOur-tifthS of the women in France

not among those who credit reports of
a France exhausted" and "bled
white" observes war writer. French
women 20 into mourning on the small
est provocation. Rye shops abound.
Every little way in a French city one
encounters the sign, Mourning in "a
hours" When madame puts on black,
no one straightway infers the demise
of monsieur. Much more likely an
uncle by marriage had dropped off,
or perhaps some eighth cousin thrice
removed. 1t is always possible that,
for one wooden cross on a battlefield,
there will be six dozen gowns at the
dye shop. No one denies that the
French army has suffered terrible
casualties. No one feels inclined to
understate them, the French least of
all. But only Americans who have
never lived in France will imagine that
the Swar1nS of black-c clad women indi-

so plucky as today, never so efficient,

ONE MUTE STORY OF THE WAR
Sunny Nieuport on the User, Little
City of 1000, Among Others

Newport lies upon the User, the tidal
stream that stopped the German rush
for Calais, writes William Townsend
Porter in the Atlantic Monthly. That
June before the world went mad, the
peaceful town drOwsed in the sun-the
pearly Belgian sun that painters love-
The men went down to the sea in their
fishing boats, or worked their fields {;
old women, their lace upon their knees,
sat in patch of shade before the door
and Piled their bOhhins; children, with
shrill sweet voices, darted about like
birds; the creaking vain went TO and
fro piled high with the harvest.
-Four thousand simple folk! Not one
remains. Their houses, too, are gone.
Their ancient church, their historic
tower, are mounds of ruin. And still
the kissing shells. hour by hour. day by
day, tear down the crumbling walls,
adding fresh ruin to a scene most DESC
late.
The people of the sun are gone. An
other race inhabits there. They live
in holes beneath the ground. They
come not forth except to kill.

An embargo on passenger service

The Price OF Sugar

There seems to be ! deliberate re
fusal upon the par5 OF many meT-
chants to obey the orders OF the
Food Commissioner III the matte" OF
the selling price of sugar. me
price fixed by the Commissioner was
91hc. a ID. at retail. while it is re-
ported that 10c., lie, II 32c., ana
lie. are the prices being charged II
is not known what excuse will be
offered by the sugar merchants VINO
are charging in excess OF the price
fixed by the Commissioner; it may be
that they will claim that they are
being over-charged by the manufac-
turers and jobbers; if such is the
case, they should protect themselves
by reporting the matter directly to
the Food Commissioner.
The. price of sugar, taken from
the American Sugar Bulletin OF Jan.
IS, 1918, quoted by the American,
National, Arbuckle. Franklin, and
other companies, is S7.45 per 100
fbs., not quite Z 1ac. a ID, and this
price is subject to 2 per cent dis
count, leaving a net price of $3.50
per 100 TBS. In on epound bags the
sugar is quoted zoe. a hundred lbs.
more; that is, S7.65, and in smaller
lots at $7.75 and $7.S5 per 100.
In a number of cities the agents
of the Food Commissioner are max
ing arrests and Furnishing those who
have been overcharging. We would
suggest to all merchants who are so
doing to prepare their defense; the
United States is a large country; it
may take sometime TO get around,
but eventually the strong arm OF
Uncle Sam will reach those who are
disregarding the regulations of the
Food Commissioner, as we'll as
others.

JOHN l.. SULLIVAN

The following is part of an ar

From Obscurity as Boston lab
orer to fame such as few men have
ever known; from poverty to riches
which enabled him to become the
best spender in America" for al
most forty years the most spectacu-
lar figure in the life of sport-loving
America; the most idolized man that
pugilism ever produced. That is
Sullivan's life story.
The mighty warrior has passed to
the Great Beyond. But he will live
in memory. The tales of his triumph
thru the years he reigned supreme,
taking on one after another of the
mightiest battlers that a decade
could produce. They've called John
l.. the Champion of Champions.
And so he was.
The browning achievement in the
career of John l.. was his brilliant
wonderful victory over the drink
evil. During his heydey he proudly
boosted that he could drink any
man under the table" Once when
ne heard that a man in the West had
taken seventy-eight mixed drinks in
succession, John l.. announced that
he would take the drinking champ
ionship unto himself. And he did,
by imbibing 100 mixed drinks, one
after another. His greatest fight was
won from liquor. This was the man
who announced years ago that Il am
through with drink for all time"
The public laughed at his resolution.
John l.. and strong drink seemed
synonymous. But John L., from
that day on, never took another
drop of liquor Not content with
merely setting a splendid example
by his reform. he took the lecture
platform in behalf of temperance.
He attacked the whiskey evil with
all the ferocity and power that he
used against his ring foes in the
earlier years. And John L., with
out doubt brought back to total
abstinence. more drunkards than
any man that ever lived.
The fight against the BLACK Bot

fought-and it was his most glorious
victory.
