She carried thirty officers and men usive of the naval gun crew of cleven. The vessel was under command of Captain T. S. Jones, and left New York two weeks ago with a general cargo of munitions for France, but did not carry any ammunition except tho for the naval guns aboard. She wa a convoy of twenty-four shiy One of the als of the Lucken- bach Steamship company the Harry luckenbach 15 when she was requisitioned by General Pershing as a supply vessel under the general re- quisition order of the Uni s It is believed that the steamship was sunk in the Eng- lish Channel when under convoy with other vessels bound for France. The Harry Luckembach was a single screw three-masted iron | that was built at West Hartlepool, England, in 1881 as-‘the Surrey, and was renamed’ the Michigan before be- ing transferred to-her present registry. She was of 2,798 gross tonnage, 300 feet long, 40 feet 2 inches beam, and 24 feet 5 inches depth of hold, and had a speed of ten knots. The lost steamship is the fourth vessel of the company that has been sun by German submarines. The others were the Jacob Luckenbach, sunk July 7, 1916; the Lewis Lucken- bach. Oct. 14, 1917, and the D. N. Luckenbach, Oct. 27, 1917. D Luckenbach were killed by the explosion of the torpedo. The J. L.

Any consideration of the guestion of available sugar supply must take into account a series of ex- traordinary factors. The immediate effect of the declaration of the European war was to cut off from the world’s market the sugar of the Central Powers. About one-third of the world’s total pro- duction formerly came from within the present battlelines of Europe. The Western battlefront passes through the sugar producing territory of France and of Belgium. In conse- guence, England, France and other foreign countries have competed with the United States for Cuba’s cane sugar. Not only did this cause an advance in the price of raw and refined sugar, but until competition was checked by the recent agreement among the Allies, it resulted in lessening the supply available to the people of this country last fall. At the same time, an abundance of sugar—hundreds of thousands of tons—has been locked up in far-away Java, owing to the lack of ships to transport it. It is no more available thaa unmined gold. To provide ships to bring this sugar h to Europe—would withdraw them from the more important business of carrying our soldiers and their supplies overseas, as Mr. Hoover has pointed out. era—0or The nation-wide movement to save the fruit crop last sea- son greatly increased the use of sugar. While the quantity in the sugar bowl was for this and other reasons lessened, this sugar is wisely stored as food in preserved fruits, jams and jellies. “Every jar of fruit preserved adds that much to our in- surance of victory, adds that much to hasten the end of this conflict.” Because of the increased demand for sugar, more sugar cane has been planted in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Louisiana, the chief sources from which the United States gets cane sugar. The reports from Cuba and Porto Rico make the situation more favorable than a month ago for a supply to meet the sugar needs of all who are dependent on this source—includ- ing this country, our soldiers abroad and the Allies. We buy raw cane sugar in the open market and refine it. To the extent of our ability, we are co-operating with the Government to insure a fair distribution of cane sugar, to stabilize the price to the consumer and to prevent hoarding and waste. We kept our refineries working last fall so long as there was a ton of raw sugar to be had. In order to make our output of refined sugar go as widely as possible, we distribute Domino Cane Sugars in convenient- size cartons and small cotton bags. These small-size pack- ages make it easy for grocers to limit sales to actual needs and to prevent hoarding. They help to prevent waste in the home. Housewives can cooperate with this plan by asking for these package sugars. It will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the ap- proaching period of readjustment. The refineries are now starting up and supplies of raw sugar coming forward but it will take weeks, and possibly months, for the return of normal conditions. In war-time and at all times it is our aim to safeguard the interests of the public we serve.
