WILHELM FOR OPEN DOOR.

Emperor Tells Ambassador White He
Favors American Policy In China.
BERLIN, March 23.-Emperor Will
liam entertained the ambassadors and
their wives at luncheon. Thrice he en-
gagged United States Ambassador
White in conversation, and he referred
repeatedly to the ''open door" policy
in China, which he emphatically es-
poused, saying: 1--WE must do our best
to establish and maintain an open door
there" In the course of the luncheon
the emperor discussed the new rail-
roads in Asia Minor and Siberia, re-
marking: 1--WE are entering upon an
era IN commerce beyond anything we
have ever dreamed Of" A high official
of the German office made the follow
ing statement:
Germany does not intend for the
present an extension of the German
sphere of influence in the Shan Tung
province of China. Certainly however,
she will endeavor to maintain order
there and to prevent her own and also
the American and French missionaries
in the province from being disturbed Or
interfered with, but Just at the mo-
ment everything in Shan Tung is
quiet and no expeditions are occurring
or being planned"

you freedom from your ailments. but protects
your system 10 such q manner that they cannot

it's product, or sugar duties, being
regarded as necessary for revenue
purposes, so reduced that a raise in
price above a fair profit would
promptly result in foreign competi-
ton, the maleficent power of the trust
would be broken. Because it wishes
to retain the power the trust, in con-

The Rise In Sugar.

The trust has advanced the price of
sugar six times in the past five weeks.
and the price is now six-tenths of a
cent pound higher than at the be-
ginning of the period. During the
war between the trust and Ar
buckle the loss to the refineries was
$15, 900, 900. Now that the Arbuckle
competition has been overcome by
absorption, and the price raised, the
trust will recover the $15, 900, 900 and
make SIS, 900, 600 besides in the next
year. The great gain will go exclu-
sively to the trust magnates. Not
only will the workmen employed fail
to receive a dollar of it in increased
wages; because of the settlement of
the war 5000 wage-earners have been
deprived of employment. The facts
and figures are thus set forth:
