MAN WOUNDED
IN FRANCE not
c. D. WHEATLEY

A remarkable coincidence revealed
in the wounding of a lieutenant in
France is found in certain correspond
age between George d. Wheatley Of
Americas, and Major TraAk C. Wheat
ley, of North Abingd m, Mass.
1t will be recalled that at the time
the name of Lieut.. George D. Wheat
ley appeared in the casualty lists it
was thought here the wounded man
might be &c. D. Wheatley, who has
been missing from Americas since
1913 His father wrote the mayor Of
North Abingdon, with the result that
he has Just received a letter from
Major Frank G.. Wheatley, telling him
that Lieut.. Wheatley, wounded in
France, is not the missing Americas
man He is, however, of the same
age as GO D." and evidently rela-
tive of the Americus Wheatleys, al
though the two branches of the fam
lily have held no communication dur
ing two hundred years past.
In relating the circumstances OF hi
sons being wounded, Major Wheat
ley stated that he was wounded in the
fighting about Chataeou THE ~ but
that about October l he re-joined his
command.
LAS far as we know" Maj Wheatley
wrote none of the Wheatleys have
ever been lacking in their duty to their
country" He then stated that in 1882
John Wheatley, son of William Wheat
ley, a surgeon in. the British navy,
came from Dublin to Norwich, Conn,
ing the Wheatley family now living in
Massachusetts. His son, Luther
Wheatley, was the grandfather of
Major Wheatley.
This is interesting to Americas peo-
pie chiefly because of the fact that
the founder of the Americas branch of
Wheatleys came to this country in
1892, and was named John Wheatley,
this name running throughout the
history of the American branch of the
family. which has long been promi
nent here. That the lieutenant wound
ed in France should be named
George Dudley Wheatley," is re-
markable, inasmuch as the name
Dudley first became associated with
that of the Americas Wheatleys after
a member of the family married
Miss Dudley here.

With the prospect of more than 4O0,-

step toward rapid mobilization as soon

The local draft boards will sgd out

asked for a report on the number OF

SUGAR RATl0NS CUT
Heinz Halts Sale in Twenty-Five Pound
ots i, PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia July S.-No more su-
gar will be sold in twenty-five pound
lots for canning purposes to consum-
ers in this city.
Jay Cooke. food administrator for
Philadelphia. issued this new restric-
ton.
This additional limitation is taken
as evidence of how seriously the food
administration regards the risk of a
sugor shortage.
When the new restrictions went into
effect July 1, limiting sugar sales to
three pounds per person each month,
the guard was relaxed sufficiently to
permit housewives to buy sugar in
twenty-five pound lots for canning
purposes.
The food administration reasoned
that the housewife who used twenty
FIVE pounds of sugar in canning fruit
which otherwise might be wasted, was,
in reality, conserving sugar.
But the sugar situation apparently
has become so acute that this canning
provision has been eliminated. The
food administration also reasoned that
the early canning season is about
over. and that 1t will not be resumed
until August. when peaches become
plentiful, and therefore the need Of
sugar for canning Is not so large.
