Great Britain follows the lead of France and Italy in recognizing the Cesho-Slovak people as a nation, and their fighting men in Italy, on the ‘western front and in Russia, as the ‘representatives of a nation in arms. This is a step which must further greatly the allied cause. The United States has long since ‘madé formal announcement of its isympathic interest in the Cecho-Slo- -vaks, and has paid honorable tribute ‘to the services of those of the race ewhose have fought valiantly on three xfronts. American recognition of the nation will not be long delayed, The tattitude of the allies, today, is guar- antee that when the great war is done, ‘the oppressed nationality will enj its well-earned reward. In the saf ‘guarding of its rights and liberties, -Americta,for generations in the haven of Bohemian nationalists, will play a large part. Recognition of the nation is the first Cecho-Slovak ' tep in the direction of that dismemberment of the Haps- bugh dominions which so many regard ms an essential of any permanent peace. The Italians, indeed, last spring reached agreement with the South Slavs in regard to the east coast of the Adriatic and the Dal- matian hinterland and made possible energetic military action in the Bal- kans, but the Cecho-Slov: are the first of Austro-Hungarian subject peoples to be accepted as allies in the great conflict yen as their services to the cause of civilization have been most notable. They have demonstrated their de- votion to the cause of democracy by, fighting for it, and their valor is their | title to independence. There is a new nation in arms against autocracy. AS ES CHILDREN AND RELIGION. Shall the child who hates Sunday} school have a religious education forced upon him? Or shall the moth- er let the matter drift with “This is a heathen age, after all. And when they are grown they can choose their own religion’? The editor of the Delineator says: “The mother mentioned above is an exponent of the universally solvenly and sentimental method of modern child-training. Of course, children dislike Sunday school. They dislike public school, too, They dislike or- derly habits and wiping the dishes and the wood-box.

The very first shot cut a control wire in two and this put our ship in a mighty serious position. But the observer kept on pumping lead into the boche and they turned tail and beat it. That shows how yellow they are. “By skillful maneuvering my pilot fot the ship safely home and made a ‘fine landing. We put two new wings on her and she is again on the job. I had a two hour and five minute ride in her since. The pilot and the observer sure deserve all the credit they get as they do wonderful work. “Have had nice weather all along and several showers today. There are wonderful crops around here this year.

Increased sugar demands from the Allied nations—where the present sug- ar ration is mireery. reduced to the lowest possible le id the need of keeping our army and navy supplied are two of the leading causes of the curtailment of America’s sugar ration. Americans are requested to make two pounds of sugar per person (half a pound a week) serve for all sugar uses in the household—including cook- ing and all sugar served at the table. Public eating places, as well a8 housewives, will be required to Nmit their use of sugar to two pounds for every ninety meals served. In the U. S.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 191g USE LESS SUGAR; NEEDS GROW Americans Asked to Use No More Than Two Pounds Per Person Per Month. Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919, When New Sugar Crop Arrives. . The sugar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories and bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc. tion from the American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap. pointing; the yield in Porto Rico has likewise been smaller than anticipat. ed, and the Inability of the United States and the Allies to secure sugar from Java and other distant sources ‘on account of the imperative call for ships for the movement of troops and their suppiles has materially reduced the supply from such quarters. Added to this already difficult situation, the quantity needed by the Army and Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti. mates; we must send a large amount to France and Italy to take the place of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian Invasions, dur. ing which much beet land was over. run and many factories destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; and finally over fifty million pounds were lost recently through submarine sink. ings off our Atlantic coast, The Food Administration 1s conf- dent that the American people, with the record of wheat savings behind it, having by voluntary savings sent 140,- 000,000 bushels of whent to the AMNies after practically every bushel had been exhausted from our normal surplus, will with the same spirit save the sugar situation of the world. ‘MARRIED SEVEN | DAYS, BENEDICT ASKS DIVORCE | Edwin J.
