While the Italians have been busily ; cleaning- vud the Piave battle front, gathering together the spoils of war and making straggling Austrian prisioners, the American iroops stationed in the Belleau wood northwest of Chateau Thierry have been devoting their time to showing the Germans again the fighting tim ber of which they are made. In the demonstration the Americans gained control of the wood in its en tirety, advanced their position ma terially northwest of the wood and mfo orisioner of 264 of the. enemy, in addition to inflicting heavy losses j in men killed or wrounaea. The attack was launched Tuesday night with the purpose of driving out the few remaining nests of Germans in the wood nests from which ene my parties constantly were harassing the Americans. It followed a hur ricane of artillery fire, the intensity of which stunned 'even those of the Germans who previously had gone through the teriffic drumfires of the British and French. The hammering of the jruns was kept up for thirteen hours before the infantry set-out to accomplish its task, and the havoc wrought by the American shells, many of them of high explosives, was pvidont from the number of enemy 4-,,t; rr fVic prround and the state of general demolition that pre vailed. ' ' . 4. The capture of B lleau wood is of considerable strategic importance, ow ing to the fact that from it the Ger mans had been able to rake the Al lied positions on all sides of it with thteir artillery. Its eastern and northern edges also command the rail road behind the German lines run ning to Chateau Thierry. All the positions still held by the Austrian on the lower Piave, con stitution the Capo Sile bridgehead. have now been taken by the Italians, ,td 5.00 square yards. The new posi tions of the Americans, however, dom inate the ridge beyond so that they now hold the upper hand. Another German officer, arrogant and sarcastic, remarked: "We are just starting with the Americans. We are going to wipe out whole divisions as if they were companies." , The German privates were less ar rogant and apparently were glad they were captured. One declared that the Germans were surprised , at the Americans, who appeared so young, but fought like devile when they got started. W.S.S. mm Wit t 0 MUST ACCOUNT j FOR ALL "SUGAR DONALD JM.

Food Administrator Page Announces New Program. 7 Our Germans who go to America, lose their tie to Germany; in spite of all our government can do, they cease to aid Germany and its future. We live in an epoch when again as often in past ages great movements of a people driven to conquest by the nec; essity for expansion are in progress. And though I regret the heavy strokes' that have to be given,! recognize that for Germany it is a necessitf&nd that in fullfilling her destiny she will for ward, the history of the world. For instance, our workpeople aife the best in the world; they know that and also ' that our army and our navy are the weapons of blood and steel which can open the world and give them wealth and power as the competent directors of workmen who, under their super vision, would do more for the world 1)han they otherwise woukUdo. They know they can thus become rich mas ters themselves. In England, for in stance, the workmen are idle "and aanricious. but under a strong regime viey would work well, and disciplined as they would be with us, tney woum recognize their own place and become contented with it.

When our navy is larger than the English it ; will ;be too late for England to interfere, ami the opportunity will rest with Ger many. The day for the decision of England's fate will then come quickly. Many here seem to think that England will submit without much struggle.

With the coming in of the ne w wheat crop, North Car ina farmers who were patriotic and wise enough to raise their own wheat will be allowed to have an entire sea son's supply of flour ground. The only condition to ths privilege, according to State Food Administrator Henry A. Page, is that while wheat is still in poor milling condition, a supply suf ficient to last until October 1 hall be ground. , , .AH wheat producers as well as other consumers are requested to continue o observe' the " present "conservation program of the Food Administration ci n meal and other cereal substitutes which calls for the use of as much as of wheat flour. The maximum measure of consumption of flour from new crop vvheat for wheat producers will be 12 pounds per person per month instead of the present requested volun tary rationing of 6 pounds.

About' three months ago the Food Adminis tration at Washington issued milling rules which prohibited all wheat mills Iron delivering more than a 30 days supply of flour to any "one including wheat growers. Food Administrator lage- granted an exception to this iTJe insofar as North Carolina was concerned so that farmers living more than three miles from a mill could se cure ;:their supplies up to 60 days.

On July 1 and thereafter-the distribution 4f sigar in the United States will be conduct ed under the absolute direction of the United States Food Administra tion, according to announcement made by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page today. This radical depart ure is necessary in order to conserve the sugar supply so that ample sugar will be available "for household use and for 'preserving and canning. On and after July 1 State Food Ad ministrators rwill issue certificates to all buyers of .sugar, including whole salers: "retailers; manufacturers, eat ing houses, hoarding houses and every dealer- or user of .sugar whatsoever with the exception of household consumers.--' No-'-sales of sugar must be made?

Actual facts and figures will not be available until the school house meetings of Friday afternoon, but indications are for encouraging re turns. . - direction of County Food Administra-J torsr " ' a" ' "" ' ":" " .-' x'' y ' The same applies to any hotels, res- taurantSj bakers, or dealers who have on hand July 1 more sugar than they are entitled to. It is manifestly un fair for any one to be over-stocked under conditions which the country faces at this time. Our national sugar supply does not come from stocks, b.v arrives in monthly amounts and any attempts to provide ahead upon the(j parts of dealers, commercial users or individuals will be severely punished by the Food.- Administration' which shall be able to keep in touch on all sales of sugar through their new sys tem of inspection. Causes For Rationing. The extension of the rationing plan for the distribution of sugar is the( result of a number of causes that have cumulated to make the sugar sit uation more difficult than could have been anticipated even a few weeks ago, according to a statement issued by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page today. x On account of the shipping situa tion it is impossible to secure the sugar which is available in remote markets and there has been a small er yield of sugar in the West Indies. The domestic beet and the Louisiana crops -have also fallen below antici- nation. In additionvto this, consider able quanity of sugar has been lost bv ; submarines. As close an estimate as can be made indicated . a reasonable expectation f rem all sources of about 1,600,000 tons of sugar for United States con sumption during the last half of the . . . -m 1 present year. This is based upon me maintenance of the present meagre Allied ration. This supply of ,600,000, tons nece sitates a considerable reduction in our consumption. To provide three pounds of sugar perx month per person for household use, to take care' of our Army and Navy and to provide for the necessary preservation of fruit, milk, etc., will require about 1,500, 000 tons of sugar for the six months. A househoW consumption oi mxec pounds per month per person, togeth er with the special allowance for home canning, means a reduction of some 25 per cent, in these branches of con sumption from normal but it is still nearly double the ration in the Allied countries and is ample for every eco nomical use. .

This includes all pub lic eating places using sugar. - Group D, that is bakers, will re ceive certificates for 70 per cent of the average amount used during July, August and September, 1917, or al ternately 70 per cent, of three times that used in the month of June, 1918.
