WdShlngton Bureau
WASHINGTON. Oct 21.-More than
5000 600 POUNDS of sugar may be re-
!eased by the United States navy for
thH use of the public in an attempt to
relieve the situation resulting from the
natlon-wlde shortage of the commodity.
Although no official statement has been
Forthcoming, Secretary Daniels inti-
mated to-day that such action would be
taken in few days if conditions
should warrant it.
The navy now has in reserve 9,OOO,-
QUO pounds of sugar, which is enough
to meet its own demands for six
months. BY contributing one-third of
this amount to public use the navy
would have four months supply left.
II is out OF the question for the army
to release any of its sugar, as only
enough is now in reserve to supply the
military forces until the middle or the
last of December, according to an an
nouncement by Quartermaster General
Rogers here to-day
Secretary Daniels said the holding
Of 100000 pounds of sugar by the
navy did not constitute boarding.
Our supply is sufficient to last only
six months" he said. "Three million
pounds are afioat with the two fleets
and the remainder is stored at navy
bases in New York, Norfolk, Boston
and naval storehouses on the Pacific
Coast. We are endeavoring to decide
whether it would be wise to turn over
Equalization Board for distribution
where most needed, or whether wisdom
would suggest holding the entire lot
for naval uses. The navy does not
want to get out of sugar, and then 20
into the market the first of the wear
and pay high prices for its supply"
Both the army and navy have taken
measures to conserve their sugar sup
plies. In the navy the following mes
sage has been received by all commands
from Secretary Daniels;
Due to the present shortage of
sugar, commanding officers and others
ticular care to the end that strict
economy in its use is observed it being
borne in mind that while it is not
expected that the navy will run out of
sugar, the public is already on reduced
allowance, and extravaganza or any
suggestion of wastefulness in its use
by the navy will not only be utterly
objectionable but would reflect dis
credit upon the navy itself"
Explaining the army's inability to
help out the sugar supply available
to the public, the following statement
was authorized at the Office of the
quartermaster general:
"The supply of sugar now in the
possession of the army is hardly
enough to last until the end of the
present quarter. December 81, and
probably will only last until De-
cember Is.
"For this reason Quartermaster Cen
eral Rogers wired to all zone supply
officers on October 20, directing that,
effective at once, the army sugar sup
ply must be conserved, and that it was
necessary to limit the sale of sugar
to any one person in the service to
six pounds q month and not more than
twenty-four pounds to one family. He
further directed that this order be Ell

Spreckels B!an,es
q. S. for Shortage

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Federal
control of the sugar crop was opposed
today before the Senate Agricultural
committee by c. A. Spreckels, New
YORK retlner, who blamed governmental
interference for the existing sugar sit
uation
There is no shortage, he said al
though the supply is "dislocated." One
mliilon tons CT the 1919 crop will be
aValiaole before January l, he added,
10 relleve the present situation
Mr.. Spreckels said he would not OBJ
lect to government control if it would
reduce the price to the consumer. In
stead, he insisted, it has brought about
an increase in price.
II the matter was left to the law of
supply and demand it would soon get
down to a proper basis" he added.
Mr.. Spreckels had frequent clashes
with William A. Glasgow, attorney for
the United States Sugar Equalization
Board: He charged ;here had been
hoardlng over the country, and de-
clared Western beet sugar growers
were wlthholding the crop from the
markets: markets, He also asserted several
thousand tons of raw sugar from the
philippines were being held in New
York by "speculators."
Pressed by Mr.. Glasgow as to the
identity OF the persons holding the
sugar from the Philippines, the wit
ness named the James S. Connell Com
pany and Czarnikow, Rionda & Co., both
of New York.
Mr.. Glasgow told the committee the
Connell company had offered the board
its sugar at an exorbithnt price, which
was declined. President Zabriskie of
the board, however, asserted that nc
such offer had been made, and Senator
Gronna, Republican, of North Dakota
heatedly demanded that the board fur
nish the facts.
At the home of Herbert S. Connell, ot
the James S. ConnelI Company, it was
said last night that Mr.. Connell was
consulting his counsel, preparatory tt
making a vigorous and formal denla,
of the charge made by G. A. Spreckels
before the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee.
At the Offices of Czarnikow, Rionds
& Co., 112 Wall Street.. one Of the man
ayers Of the firm said:
~ don't know how we could hoarc
sugar. We don't have any. We neve,
do have any. We haven't heard wore
about the accusation, but we can say ir
advance that we absolutely deny it,"

First Wedding Rings

For ages the fourth finger of the
left hand has been chosen for the

how the custom originated The fact
is that the Romans, who were the first
to use the wedding ring. selected that
