SUBMARINE BOAT REMAINS
FIFTEEN HOURS UNDER WATER

New York, Nov. 25.-In the presence
of big crowd. which. despite the
storm. assembled to witness the merg-
ing of the submarine boat Fulton, that
craft rose from the bottom of Peconic
Bay, which is at the eastern end of
Long Island. at 1880 o'clock yesterday
morning, after having been under WA
ter fifteen hours. with all well and
greatly surprised to find there was a
storm raging.
The test of the Fulton's staying was
highly satisfactory. not only to the Off
GERS of the company that built her and
the naval officers present, but to those
who went TO the bottom in the boat.
They report that there was not the
slightest discomfort TO them during
their more than fifteen hours of sub
mcrsion below the surface.
Captain Cable of the Holland COM
pany. who was in command. said that
the boat could have remained down
for three months IL there We're food
enough on board. Although there was
but six feet OF water over the top of
the turret, those OH board felt nothing
of the storm. Through the night there
was slight rolling motion to the
craft, but this was ascribed to the reg
ular motion OF the water and not to
the disturbance which was rolling the
waves high on shore.
Immediately on coming 10 the sur

Rear Admiral Lowe and Lieutenant

discussion OF the performance OF the

POWERFUL GERMAN COMBINE
TO CONTROL THE SUGAR MARKET

plus the bounty, they are able not only
to make up for this, but to reap !"
handsome profit In addition to gaining
absolute control of the sugar market.
The kartell Il run very secretly, but
from confidential reports shown to II
representative of the Associated Press
in London, 1t is learned that 1t consists
of an ironclad combination of almost
all producers and refiners to keep up
the price of sugar in Germany. This Is
done so successfully that German con-
sumers to-day pay as much for sugar
as the Briton does for the same article
imported from Germany.
The members of the kartell bind
themselves to buy from and sell to only
those affiliated with the combine. This
has worked so satisfactory that the
kartell now includes practically every
factor of the sugar interests in Germ
any from the agricultural producer to
the retlner. The latter agrees to pay
1915 marks per hundredwelght for the
raw article, although natural condi-
tons might ordinarily allow him to
buy three marks cheaper. This, how
ever. insures a permanently high price
to the consumer. The enormous prof
its consequent upon these methods are
pooled in the kartell and are divided
upon an elaborate and ingenious scale
and the surplus product is disposed Of
at slight loss in European and Amer
lean markets, though even this deficit
is often made up by the bounty that
Germany provides.
British sugar authorities are quoted
as saying that the German kartell and
bounty combined, will. within two
years. ruin the beet and cane industry
in other countries, especially in Cuba
and the other West Indies.

London, Nov. 23.-The British 1ugAx
magnates assert that their invDoEa-
uons have revealed the existence in
Germany Of q great trust called the
"kArtell" which has been in existence
about q year, and that 1t is chiefly ow-
ing to III agency that sugar has been
forced down to its lowest point In the
history Of the industry. and that Ger
many to-day rs able to dictate to the
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-
tions of the kartell with view of sub
mitting them to the authorities at
Washington. The British government
will be urged to empower its repre-
sentatiyes at the Brussels conference to
threaten retaliatory and countervail-
Ing measures unless the kartell is bro
ken up or at least modified.
The latest figures available in Lon
don show that Germany now produces
one-third of the worlds supply of beet
sugar, of which she exports no less
than 1,250,0Oo tons, after completely
supplying her own population.
These exports, which are almost one
fifth OF the worlds available supply,
are sent out at loss to German manu-
facturers, but thanks to the kartell

America the managers of large con-
Germs are often very youthful. In Eng

himself came to this country when he
was fifteen years old. He declares his

seventeen. and TO keep him there for
a couple OF years" This is generous
and even nattering to us. but Sir

When is cigarette not a cigarettee
When 1t is a pipe. The answer to the
conundrum was given by English
magistrates. The taking of tobacco
pipe into certain mine was prohib-

man was arraigned and fined. The
judges held that paper charged with
tobacco was pipe within the mean

are. however. known to be enthusiastic
over the work of the Fulton thus far.
Members of the crew say they expe-
rienced no difficulty In breathing and
that the air was all that could be de-

in an ordinary closed room in which
are several persons. Every piece OF
machinery worked to perfection during
the night. The men ate two meals
while under water and enjoyed them.
Most OF them obtained three or four
hours sleep.
Rear Admiral Lowe said later:
when we went down l assisted
Captain Cable in making an inspec-
ton of the ship. Then retired. while
the crew played cards and read. Ev-
