Early in the war when Field Mar

were straining every nerve to bold
back the German advance which they
did finally at the Marne a French gen

which was left without support, wan
almost annihilated. The story feat

remit!y: “Sales of sugar from 16 to
20 cents per pound have been reported
and followed up vigorously and stop

at which consumers would have been

Effect on Military Situation.
American sugar stocks could he fill
ed to normal very soon If ships could
be sent to Java, where 2c>0,0U0 tons of
sugar Is waiting for shipment. But
the shipping situation is so acute that
the nation cannot spare the eleven
ship* needed to transport this sugar.
It would take the boats one year to
haul 250,000 tons. In the same time
they could be used for transporting
200,000 soldiers to France.
The food administration believes
that the American public will diminish
Us sugar consumption by 10 or 15 per
cent when It is made clear that such
sugar saving Is a patriotic ad and
when It Is understood that there are
[plenty of sweeteners available to take
the place of sugar, such as honey or
corn syrup.
Why Shortags Exists.
The three great sugar producing cen
ters of the world are Germany, the
West and East Indies. German sugar
It, of course, used at home. The East
Indian sugar Is unavailable because of
the ship shortage.
While U boats made big Inroads on
