SUGAR VERY SCARCE
IN MEXICO FRIDAY
Most " rchants Have Less on Hand
Than at Any Time During the
Recent Months

Now that the coal famine is prac-
rally over in Mexico the city is fac
" an extreme shortage in another
ne. Sugar is now the scarce arsicle.
Very little of any kind was to be had
the market Friday, and the latest
hl.ment was Of a Louisiana Clarified
u.o.uot which sold at retail for TWEEN
ty-tivc cents a pound. Pure cane sugar
OF the quality usually obtained here is
SUI being sold by some of the merch-
ants, who have been able to get It, at
teen cents a pound.
Nine barrels of sugar were received
IN Mexico Thursday and was sold to
the retail merchants in hundred pound
sacks. But that amount did not 90
very far in satisfying the great
demand for sugar which comes this
time of the year. A car of sugar
is expected to arrive very soon, and
to this merchants are p%inning their
hope. Unless it does come Christ
mas baking and candy making will be
greatly reduced.
Grocers were more discouraged over
the outlook of the sugar situation Fri
day than they ever have been. They
are willing to buy sugar at any price,
~!'cause consumers are willing to pay
almost any price for it especially at
this time of the year. Beet sugar sells
at about seven cents cheaper on the
pound than does cane sugar, and the
chief difference is in the odor, the lat
ter being more pleasing to the smell.
The government has set a wholesale
price of 10 cents on beet sugar and
u cents on cane; but at present mer-
chants are paying more because Of
he extreme scarcity.

good food, in an American hospital
is not a thing TO be sorrowful over,

Edward Whitehouse is the only man
from Audrain County who had exper-
fence as a prisoner of war in Ger

was taken on the Chateau Thierry

out Of the enemy's territory until Dec

First Food in Five Days.

There were two other men in 1.-THE same
part of the trench with him when he
was taken prisoner, but he didn't see
what happened to them. He was taken
to the German front lines and kept
most of the day, having been captured
about s o'clock in the morning. All
Of that time he was having to care FOR
a wounded German whom he had slung
across his shoulders. Finally he was
allowed to go. back behind the lines
but was kept at the front for four or
five days. He was not allowed his first
food until he had been a prisoner five
days and four nights, and then he was
given soup made of rotten potatoes.
He drank it however, he said, for it
was that ~ nothing, and after having
been in the front line trenches for
fourteen days with only one meal a
day, and then having gone so long
with no nourishmcnt at all, he was
willing to eat anything.
Mr.. Nhitchouse said he vas first
taken to Casscl, in Germany, and re-
manned there in a prison camp with
English and French prisoners for
about two weeks. Then he was sent
to the big American Prison Camp in
Rastatt. After about a week there he
was put to work on a farm belonging
to an old woman, where, he said, ne
was supposed to work, but where ne
did very little actual labor. pleading
ignorance Of how she wanted things

Located by Red Cross,

After several weeks he was located
by the Red Cross which then began
sending food and clothing to him,
along with the other American pris-
oners. From then on he Jared better,
he declared, for the German food was
next to unedible. One week, having
saved up plenty of Red Cross food TO
last him, Mr.. Whitehouse said he re-
fused to work. When the guard called
him Monday morning he replied that
he was i'll. The guard then said that
if he did not work he could not have
any food; so all week he was provided
with no food, and lived on what ne
had saved from his Red Cross boxes.
When questioned as TO whether he
received any rough treatment at the
hands of the Germans he replied in the
negative. He saw men, however, he
said who told of being abused by their
guards. He said that once in a while
a young guard would get Smart" out
that the older ones would make them
be humane. ave had too many of
their prisoners for them to take too
many chances with u.s." he said.
After the Armistice was signed the
American prisoners were allowed to go
any place they desired, about the city,
after they were out of the prison camp.
The guards usually helped them out
of camp, he explained, and then they
could go about alone. They were so
long getting out of Germany because
o fthe poor accommodations in travel
ing. They could have gone sooner if
they had been willing to walk, but
waiting for trains kept them in Ger
many longer. Trains from Switzcs-
land finally carried them into France.
Germans Happy Over End.
When asked how the Germans felt
over the signing of the Armistice Mr..
Whitehouse said, "They were tickled
to death. The guards came running
to US and said, You can soon 90 home
now boys; it's all over. But" he went
on to say, they were sure disappoint-
ed when they didn't get to Paris back
in September. The German officers
told me, after | had been taken pris-
oner. that when they came over the
top at Chateau Thierry and saw the
Americans they were much surprised.
They had no idea we were there, and
expected to wade right through the
French and English. They probably
have done it, too; for those men
we're worn out"
