London, Nov. 23.-The British sugar
magnates assert that their investiga-
tions have revealed the existence in
Germany of a great trust called the
''kartell' which has been in existence
about year, and that 1t is chiefly ow.
ing to Its agency that sugar has been
forced down TO Its lowest point In the
history OF the industry, and that Ger

world the price OF that commodity.
The exact extent of the "kartell was
discovered. they say. only quite re-
Gently. The magnitude OF its opera
tions supplies the missing factors in
the present alarming conditions OF the
sugar market.
The abolition OF this organization will
be one of the chief objects OF the ma
tions other than Germany attending
the Forthcoming Brussels conference.
Already British firms have entered into
negotiations with leading American
sugar Interests, and tables are now be-
ing drawn up showing the transac-
tons OF the kartell with n view OF sub

Washington. The British government
Will be urged TO empower its repre-
sentntlves at the Brussels conference to
threaten retnliatory and countervail-
ing measures unless the knrtell is bro
kep up or at least modified.

don show that Germany now produces
onc-thlrd OF the worlds supply OF beet
sugar. OF which she exports no less
than 100000 tons, after completely
supplying her own population.

wonder Of it all is how the squirrel tribe stand the
slaughter, as it has year after year, and still keep
from becoming extinct But they do and in addition
they keep the farmer guessing how to his crops
