SUGAR SHORTAGE Is
BROUGHT TO AMERICA
BY CHANCES OF WAR

Since the pinch of the sugar
shortage pressed in upon the
sweets-loving American populace,
every one who has had a part OF
his regular sugar ratlons cut
down has asked, either himself or
some one else "Why Z"
In the past France. Italy ana the
Low countries raised their own sugar.
England received over one- hsss OF hef
supply from the Teutonic Empires. I'M
ported largely from Java. One-hsif OF
Americas sugar supply is obtained
from Cuba, one-seventh from the sugar
beet production of the United states,
one.eighth from Hawaii. one-twenueth
from Louisiana, and the rest from
Porto Rico. and the Philippines.
Factories Destroyed.
Because OF the destruction OF the
greater part OF their factories, the pro,
duction of both Italy and France has
been cut down TO one-third. The Cen
,rai Powers-tbeir regular source or
supply-has been cut off. They must,
therefore, depend almost entirely upon
America.
There 10 vast quantities OF sugar
stored In Java. but neither time nor
ships can be spared while sugar can
be obtained elsewhere by one-third
the haul.
Why Save1
Why are Americans urged to save
sugar?
They must meet the Allied shortage:
they must release ships formerly used
in the sugar trade to carry soldiers
and supplies TO Europe: they must
make up the loss of beet sugar lands
and factories captured or destroyed
by the Germans IN Northern France
and Italy Ships which would have
kept up the flow of sugar have been
sunk Twenty-siN thousand tons OF
sugar were lost recently in submarine
raids upon Americas Atlantic coast.
Fifty thousand tons OF sugar carrying
shipping were transferred to meet the
requirements Of Belgian relief

In spite OF the shortage. sugar n

TO put the people Of the United States
once more to the test. This time the
nation faces q shortage OF sugar. This
time, instead Of the national passion
for fiakey white wheat bread and

made to sacrifice Its share to the Altar

from washington. will be two
pounds per person per month. in
stead OF three pounds as formerly nj.
