The following letter from a Cairo

sugar situation. IL was not written
for publication. and Is. therefore, the
better as an explanation of the present
shortage. Here IL Is:
what IL the cause of the present
sugar situation? This Il the question
that Is being freely asked these days.
There are various answers given, some
that are erroneous and some that bear
truth Is IL because the United States

This lot OF sugar is practically exhaust

purchase the new crop. The Cuban
crop A. larger than last year. The beet
sugar crop I'm this country Is larger
than last year. Then why the search
tyr There are several reasons:
IL We are at that season when the
old crop A. about exhausted and the
new crop IL just beginning To move
-. The shipping strike materially
curtailed shipments OF raw sugar from
Cuba and other producing countries
to the United States which caused re-
finers To run short

IN the consumption OF sugar this year
over any previous one The figures of

of three hundred twenty six thousand

The photo postal cards which are

for the work of the Library Associa-

fattering to the charming little lady
who serves as librarian to hte boys in

Miss Bowman Is not a self-adver-
tiser and consequently when the pic
ture was taken she turned her face
away from the camera. This shows
her bending over, showing a book to
one of her readers. She wears an Al
pine hat and the picture gives her the
appearance Of an old man. Nothing
could be farther from the truth

to the medical men it must be said
that the game which the train won

lost in the camp.
In a series of games with Walter

handicapped by different playing
rules, and the fact that they were on
a strange court. They met and de-
feated the Walter Reed five at the
Base Hospital Y Hut in this camp by
a wide margin.
With the organization of the Army
and Navy League. the Base Hospital
team was selected to represent Camp
Meade. That they upheld the honor
of the camp, intrusted to them, is
evidenced from the fact that they
finished their schedule with a per-
centage of 1866, meeting and defeat
ing teams from Fort McHenry, Aber-
deem, Edgewood Arsenal. Curtis Bay
and Evergreen General Hospital. But
one defeat was suffered in the league.
this at Annapolis, at the hands of the
team from the trainings ship Reina
Mercedes. This prevented a perfect
record for the Meade boys, who hold
the military state championship of
Maryland.
Much Of the success of the Meade
team is due to the great interest
taken in the game by Lieut. James
w. Willford, detachment commander
at the Base Hospital. A basket ball
player himself. it was a source OF
great pride to Lieut.. Willford to
match his boys against the best
teams in this section, and feel conf
dent of their coming home with flying
colors.
Sergt. Andrew F. Patrick acted as
manager of the team, and it is due
to his untiring effort and firm belief
in the ability OF the medical men that
a team was organized. Thanks also
