FRONT SHORTENED BY FIFTY MILES I I Allies' Successes Reduced It Twenty Per Cent, Says March * 32 U. S. DIVISIONS ON THE OTHER SIDE Chief of Staff Names Them. Many Ships Still Needed. Washington.?As a result of the allied successes during the past month, the battle front in France from Rheims to the North sea, has been reduced in length more than fifty miles. (Jen. March told the newspaper men today in his-mid week conference. When the (Jermans began tin ii last advance the line stretched for *250 miles. It is now less than 20U miles. (Jen. .March (numerated th rty-two American divisions as having arrived in Fiance. They are as follows: First, Second, Third, Fourth. Fifth. Sixth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth, Twi nfy-ninth, Tni: tieth Thirty-second, Thirty-third, Th i rt y- f i ft h. Th i rt y-s i x t h. Th i rt yseventh, Forty-first. Fort y-s con..!.

Ninety-fir. t, Ninety-second and Ninety-third. The success of the enlarged American program of the War Department, Gen, March said, still is d. pendent upon the acquisition o adc I quote shipping, and while the emer f gency fleet corporation is constantly J v fewO^fng the tomiag1 at the r.r...v' j <lisposal, it still is necessary to char tcr and hire many additional ships. In response to a question Con. March said the Eightieth division, composed of Virginia and Pennsylvania troops v. as "serving" with the British army in Flanders. He announced last Saturday that Dm Eightieth wa - training with the British in Flanders. The New Drive. Lacking official details of the Brit ish drive reported in A sociate ' iYess dispatches this morning, C< n March decline i to comment uot n. .hi" new allied thrust. He said, describ ing the period which had elapsen since his last talk, that the allies !ia continued their attacks on limit d J fronts and at widely separaj^'d points. In r landers, no potmen oiu nr.points of the saliont which had existed there have heen in by allied attacks southeast of Meteren, on the north flank, and : ar Mrrville, on the south side. The apex was thus made "unhealthy" for the enemy and he was forced to withdraw for from one to two miles on a fourteen mile f ront. On the plains near the Oise the allied advance has put the line well back of the 19HJ-1917 line. (Jen. March said the War Department had I not yet received details of the cap- j lure of Frapollo in the Yosges, by J Fifth United States division (regulars.) The line at this point is four miles cv ' tbt) (human border. In cimiiiiinting upon the shipping" situation. Clen.

THE HOEET WHEAL ii .1 i i i i i IJJI War Time Sweeteners A MERICA has several excellent war time sweeteners that will be used largely during the ? shortage in the sugar supply. They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and molasses and may be used in preparing desserts and other dishes requiring sweetening. When a cup of syrup or honey is used K X, *? replace a cup of sugar the liquid in the recipes should be decreased one-fourth. nVKjVnH One-third of a cupful of sugar is equivalent iS9llaaiHBEHj to one-third of a cup of honey, about onehalf cup of syrup and about one-half cup of com sugar. One-fourth of a cup of sugar is equal to about one-half cup of syrup or one-third cup of corn sugar. One tablespoon of sugar is equal to one tablespoon of honey, about one and one-half tablespoons of syrup and one and onethird tablespoons of corn sugar. Suorar mav be saved hv the use of reisinn HofAa ^ - - ? V V* M WVO) IA|^ H| dried pears and fruit pastes used on the breakfast cereals. Fruit marmalades, butters and jellies should be'used to take the place of the ordinary sweetening at a meal and not as accessories to it. Fruits may be preserved without sugar. It. may be added when sugar is more plentiful. Preserving demands this year a thin syrup instead of a heavy syrup. If sugar is used one-half of the amount may be replaced by another sweetener. S Drying is a means of preserving (without sugar) ap- I pies, cherries, strawberries and black caps. ! When ready to use they may have added the needed 8 sugar in the form of a syrup. When sugar is more plentiful | fruit juices may be made into jellies or may be used as ; fruit juices with or without sugar, as beverages, fruit j) gelatins and frozen desserts. 8 Fresh fruits supply the place of sugar in the diet. They ; should be used freely. Desserts where ^ sugar is scarce $ may ue maue 01 geiauns, juiikuis, custarus, puddings and I cakes. 1 i _j .-? ? J.v.*r ??*&- .... -??" ?'

AMFRIOAN families would have less sugar than the people of war torn France, if we depended entirely on our home-grown sugar stocks. Approximately 75 per cent, of our sugar is shipped to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,AAA 1 ! .. . 1 i ! i uuu tof 1 is ii your in normal limes. The United States Food Administration asks each family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month per person for household use. The military situation demands that every available ship be placed at the disposal of the Army or Navy. When we s?.ve sugar, we save shipping. _ ^ 1 s~ n i I I i One Saw Mi!!, complete, with 60 h. p. boiler, 50 h. p. ! engine, No. 3 Hegy Saw Mill, 35 ft. carriage, .No. 1 American Edger, capacity 20,000 ft. per day, cut off D, OOKWAT, M. ft [AUC1 Ml G.
