Scarcity of neut- ral shipping, MT. Sulzer says, makes it difficult to get grain to Switzerland. He denied that Germany has threat ened to sink grain ships unless the Swiss divide the cargo with her.

the United States Averted a
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach It's height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,O00 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions Of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes Of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
it would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. BY it we have been able

spoken in favor of the project.

anything really disfguring about war

through patriotic eyes? There can be
a dignity and a nobility about an ex-
cavation that is used for q war pur-
pose, entirely different from, say, an
excavation that is being used for sewer
pipe. If these trenches are dug in Cen,

Criticism Of the plan to construct
battle trenches and No Mans Land
IN Central Park for the purpose of
stimulating interest in the third Lib

by expressions of appreciation of the
plan from leaders in public thought
and accomplishment.
lhe Liberty Loan Committee, believ-
ing that by visualzing the realities of
war 1T could arouse sentiment that
would assure the success Of the loan,
asked for the Central Park site. This
request, made last Friday to the Board
OF Estimate, was held over for final
action until this morning, when the
Committee on City Planning will decide
whether the park shall be used for such
a purpose. However, the board did an
propriate $4,000 to pay the expenses
Of the project.
The Liberty Loan Committees pro-
posal to reproduce the cline of death"
with all its details met with vigorous
opposition from The New York
Times" The individuals who oppose the
plan are Mrs. Clarence H. Young, of SO

Sylvia, the prize African turtle, was
back in her luxurious pool at the
Flower Show al the Grand Central Pal
ace yesterday, surrounded by orchids
and water lilies and her usual retinue
of goldfshes. All that was left of her
great adventure was a sad light in her
eye and an irritated flirt to her quar-
ter-inch Of tail She snapped. at the
longest goldfish when he suggested
little bracer OF rose water, and she
turned away from her MONDAY meal Of
green flies and ground grub salad. All
the afternoon she lay moping on fiat
rock, where the cool water trickled
over her left shoulder, aud even when
p. W. Popp, her guardian, tickled her
solicitously with his goldheaded cane
she did not stir.
"It's only a bad case Of spring fever"
gad Mr.. Popp, reassuringly to Manager
Harrington. They were worried about
Svlvia's health to the extent that they
even thought Of calling up Mrs. II. Oar
ginqton, out at Mamaroneck, and. asking
her if they should take the prize turtle
home.
"Thesc here pampered animals" said
Mr.. Popp, "often long for the open
when the spring breezes blow It's a
heritage from the time when they all
iived in tropic swamps and caught thelr
own green Grubs"
Sylvia's little touch Of spring fever
wouldn't have mattered if she hadn't
been worth thousand dollars--and so
important that they called out the en-
tire force OF Flower Show detectives to
hunt for her all day Sunday. 1t was
late Saturday night before she was
missed as there are many hooks and
lily pads in the rock grotto Of Mrs
Darlington's exhibit where turtle can
hide, and no one paid any attention to
the fact that ghe was not in the front
puddle.
Then the search was delayed by the
fact that Nj Popp, who thought he un-
dcr1tood Sylvia's psychology, decided
that she must have become Jealous OF
