trenches and going over the top with
the doughboys. Once, he got into
hastily thrown up trenches that were
so small that Elkins didn't fit them
and he got stuck and had TO be pried
out. according to Major McConville's
narrative. 1t was dangerous enough

says, that officers over there wern't.

the failure of President Wilson'S veto

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. a.
The sugar shortage in West Virginia
continues and is the cause of numer-
Gus and frantic appeals to the two SEN
ators and the representatives. On &C
count OF 1t there Is many pantry OF
cellar that will for the first time next
winter be quite empty OF canned fruits
and vegetables. Summers and Pres
ton counties are the last to appeal to
Senator Elkins. Two car loads were
secured through the efforts of Sena-
tor Sutherland and sent TO points in
the state before the War department
surplus was exhausted.
The governments explanation of the
sugar situation will be found OF inter
est by those affected by 1t. 1t is con-
tanned in communication which SEN
ator Sutherland requested from the
Department Of Agriculture, and is as
follows:
There is no doubt en- uneven dis
tribution OF sugar, and jobbeFs and
wholesalers in some localities have a
sufficient supply while those in Others
have practically none at this time. This
however, is attributable not to any ac-
ton Of the government. but merely 10
the fact that these jobbers and whole
salers who have sugar for heir trade
took on sufficient stock last spring
when it was possible to obtain sugar
in any quantity, while the others fail
ed TO place their orders.
THAT is. the government does not
control the distribution of refined
sugar; that is in the hands Of The trade
as normally; the government has no
power to divert shipments in private
hands nor to redistribute it. There
are stringent laws against boarding,
however, and unnecessary supplies in
the hands Of any dealers may be Ii
belled and sold.
THE Sugar Equalization Board, Inc,
has no other function than to distrib-
ute the raw sugar to the refineries.
The refined sugar which the Sugar
Equalization Board did distribute was
received from the army surplus. AMI
that is the only refined sugar which
the government has had control over
SO far as its disposition and direction
into consumption was concerned.
There was, of course, not enough OF
the army sugar to meet all demands
and It had to be allotted in the most
equitable manner possible. We must
to make it clear, however, that this
army sugar was the only sugar which
the government has distributed or at
tempted to distribute.
I'VE arc attempting to check up the
profiteering in sugar and the selling
at exorbitant prices which has bee1l
going on in some sections OF the coun-
try. Unnecessary rules within the
trades arc responsible for many OF
these instances of unreasonable prices
with the increased supply of sugar
from refineries which will soon be
cga.lab,l and with vigorous action TAX
