Fighting For the last half of this week Man- ager Connelly will offer another big programme with two good comedies and Mutt and Jeff in Secret Service. Theda Bara, the incomparable Wil- jam Fox star, is coming to the Audi- torium theatre on Thursday in the wonderful superpicture, “Camille,” adapted from the Alexandre Dumas’ fascinating French novel, ‘The Lady of the Camellias.” This picturization gives Misas Bara’s wonderful abilities the fullest scope, and she is seen at her best. Her play of emotions as she picturizes the life of the famous French grisette, are vivid and real. Only Theda Bara can put just the brilliant touch to her “Camiile” that will fairly electrify the picture-going public. A wonderful picture is in Stom fOr you. Camille is very wvicious, very beau- tiful and a very celebrated member of the French unde}world; with a string of wealthy lovers, and all the usual ways of a woman of her class. Still she is woman enough to really fall in love at once and for all. But at the end of it all she dies a tragic death, leav- ing only the remembrance of her briliant if unpleasant reputation and ber love for Armaud. DAVIS THEATRE.

WAR’S SHADOWS CLOUDED CHRISTMAS IMERRYMAKING A’ Noticeable Lack of Gayety Among People of New Vork City. w York, Dec. 25. — New York ity’s first Christmas since America entered the war, while lacking none of the charitable events that hereto- fore had characterized the city’s ef- forts to make the day merry for the poor, was marked by a solemnity be- ulation, although at the behest of John F. Hylan, who soon is to be- zome mayor, an effort was made to make the day as joyous as possible for the children. In keeping with the nation-wide movement for conservation, dinner tables were amply but not elaborately iaden. Menus were arranged with a iew to eliminating unnecessary waste and for the most part the gift-giving and feasting served to emphasize the neople’s realization that major effort must be centered on the war. Olive drab and blue, worn by the soldiers and sailors, plentifully min- rled with street throngs, gave a mili- !ary aspect to the day. SERMAN U-BOAT DESTROYED; CREW MADE PRISONER Xnew When Steamship Carrying Of- ficers Left the United States. An Atlantic Port, Dec. 25.—That he crew of a German submarine nade prisoner after their vessel had seen destroyed, knew when a large teamship carrying American army sfficers had left the United States and ‘hat the submarine lay in wait to sink jer, was the statement of several en- isted men of the American navy who were passengers on a steamship ar- iving here today. According to the German prisoners sho were taken to Bngland, they ‘knew all*about the departure of the steamship” but the submarine had @iled to sink her because of the Vig- lance of her convoy. J. B. Mackey has been elected peaker of the Victorian legislative ssembly. fitting the nation’s part in the world struggle. There was a noticeable ab- | sence of gayety among the city’s pop. ! HOOVER EXPLAINS ! SUGAR SHORTAGE (Continued from Page One.)s sugar from the western hemisphere to Furope, ana asserts that without the fixing of prices by agreement sugar would have been seiling for 25 to 30 cents a pound and more than 200,000,- 000 dollars probably would have been| profiteered from the American people by this time. Reply to Spreckels. The statement contains the food ad- ministrator's reply to charges made before the committee by Claus Spreckels, rresident of the Federal Re- fining Company, that the sugar situa- tion was mismanaged and sets forth in detail the administration’s efforts to keep sugar prices down while sup- plying large quantities to the aHies. The committee, of which Senator Reed is chairman, not only had refus- ed to maka the statement a part of the congressional record, but has declined thus far ‘o permit Hoover to take the stand to answer Spreckel’s charges. When the hearfig is resumed Friday. however, it is understood Mr. Hoov- er will be permitted to tell his story. Cause of Sugar Shortage. At the outset the statement presents the world sugar situation as it _existed prior to the European war. The al- lies then purchased much of their own supplies and purchased the remainder from Germany. Before the war they took only %00.000 tons annually from the western hemisphere. This year they have taken 1,400,000 tons. “That,” says the food administrator, “is the cause of the sugar shortage; and nothing else.” The statemrent says the food admin- istration has handled the situation with a view to sustaining the morale - of France and England, where the sugar ration has been extremely low for months, and at the same time pre- venting a jump price to 20 or 25 cents here. Since the food administration was created in August the United States Ias exported to the allies 110,356 tons of refined sugar and in the same pe- riod Cuba has shipped to Furope 246.- 133 tons of raw product. This, it is declared, is just_the amount of the shortage in the United States. Even with these shipments, it is pointed‘out, the supply in England and France has been inadequate. Con- sumption in England has been reduc- ed to 24 pounds a year for each person and in France to 14 pounds, against a consumption in America of 55 pounds. Will Continue Next Year. The shortage, the food administrator declares, will continue during mext vear as it is the duty of the United States to feed the allies. “Next vear,” he says, “our supplies will be shcrt 250,000 to 300,000 tons unless the allies go to Java for sup- plies. This amounts to an economy of about fen per cent. on our part. If the allies are forced to go to Jawa it will require an extra amount of ship- ping which if used to transport troops will move 153,000 or 200,000 American soldiers to France. “If statements that there will be an abundance of sugar next year are believed by the American public it will do_this country’s war efforts incalcul- able harm. The number of troops we can. send across is limited. If we in our greed and gluttony force the al- lios either to reduce their ration or g0 to remote markets after sugar we will have done tremendous damage to our abilities to win the war.” No Sugar Stocks in This Country. Charges that the food administration has permitted sugar stocks to remain in parts of the country unmoved are denied, as are statersénts that sugar was left in Cuba while an effort was made to beat down Cuban prices. “There are no sugar stocks in this country,” it is declared, “which are not in course of distribution. Some 30,000 tons held up by the embargo have been released for American con- sumption. All but a trivial amount of Cuban sugar has been exported either to the allies or to the United States. This is shown in a report from the American consul-general in Cuba.” Why Prices Were Fixed. As to the fixing of sugar prices, the food administrator has this to say: “In order to prevent profiteering out of the situation the food administration considered strong action was necessary and imposed a maximum profit on re- finers and wholesalers. The refiners’ mrargin was $1.84 per hundred the nine months before the food administration came into existence; it was reduced to $1.30 and a saving of more than $25,- 000,000 per annum was affected. Precautions Against Profiteering. “As a further precaution against profiteering the administration obtain- ed a voluntary agreement with the beet sugar factories that they would not sell sugar at more than $7.25 a hun- dred pounds seaboard. Some who al- ready contracted at $9 rescinded their contracts. This was foHowed by sim- ilar agreements as to Louisiana, Cu- ban and Hawaiian arrivals. “The net result of these voluntary agreements was to reduce the ruling price of sugar one and three quarters | cents west of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio, and one cent on the Atlan- tic. Had {hese arrangements not been made sugar would have risen to 25 or 39 cents a pound. “Numerous prosecutions have been started against firms which have sold sugar at prices of 15 and 20 cents. No Other Way. “The consumers’ sugar bill from the time restraints were imposed _until Jamuary 1 will be about $180,000.000. Every cent pound rise means.about $18,000,000. Twenty cent sugar would have meant about $1£0,000,000 profi- teered from the American consumer ‘There was no other way under the law to prevent profiteering except by vol- untary agreement, as the food biil car- ried no power tc fix prices. These agreements have of necessity been made with the old manufacturers, in- cluding the sugar trust. . Independent Refiners Represented. “Independent refiners are represent- ed by majcrity on a committee whose duty it is to divide the imported sugar between all equitably. This com- mittee has no price fixing power; it has solely to do with distribution. The independent refiners who have been fighting the trust for years could be depended on to watch any unfair ac- tion. “An appeal to prejudice Has been made against the food administration becauss the Cuban price is 34 cents above that which prevailed in 1917 prior to September 1. It has been said in effect that the Cubans are at our mercy; that we could get sugar one cent lower. 'We made an exhaustive ?t\l']y of the cost of producing sugar n - Cuba ‘last year through our own agents in Cuba. - We found that an a profit of at least one cent per pound was necessary in order to main- tain fand’ stimulate production or that a minimum price of -$4.34 was neces- sary,.and.even this would stifie some producers. The price uitimately agreed upon 23 cents above these figures, or about one-fifth of a cent per pound to the American consumer, and more than this amount has been saved by e e e 1me ~ DONT FUSS WITH MUSTARD PLASTERS! le Works Easier, Quicker " and Without the Blister bined in the King, our reduction in refiners’ profits and in net resuit sugar would be one cent cheaper than to the Atlantic consum- er next year than' now. Must Not Strangle Cuba. “If we wish to stifle production in Cuba we could take that course just at the time of all times in our history, when we want production for ourselves and the allies. Further than that such a_course would produce disturb- ances in Cuba and destroy even our present supplies—but beyond all these material reasons is one of justice. This great country has no right by the might of its position to strangle Cu< ba.” The statement recounts the food ad- ministration”s efforts to reduce con- sumption to avert the shortage, which was foreseen in the summer. Reduction of Individual Use. “The food administration has con- ducted a systematic campaign for the reduction of individual sugar con- sumption,” says the statement. “The reduction has shown in the decrease in candy sales, etcetera, but on the oth- er hand a similar campaign for the preservation of fruit has increased the consumption in that direction—but will reduce consumption later on. * * * * Taking into consideration all features. it is not certain, that there has been any increase in actual consumption and considering the increased cannin; use there may have been a decreas Mr. Hoover emphatically denies the charges that George M. Rolph, head of the food administration’s sugar divi- sion, endeavored to benefit the Cali- fornia refinery of which he is head, through the arrangement of the Cu- ba price.
