EXPORT TI0N
of SUGAR is
RESTRICTED
Russia Asks to Increase It's
Exports to the Extent Of
100000 Tons.
GREATER SPEED IN
AIRSHIPS SOUGHT

Paris. France, Jan 6.-The worlds
sugar conference. which was held at
Brussels. adjournment being taken to
Jan %, is having difficulty trying TO
meet the request Of Russia to be per-
mitted to increase her yearly exporta-
ton Of sugar.
Russia wishes to increase her expor-
tation by 100000 tons yearly the in
ternational sugar union having limited
the possible expectation OF each coun-
try adhering to the conference.
The opposition to the Russian petit
ton came from Germany and Austria.
1t is thought likely, however that when
the conference reeonvenes the Russian
request viii be granted although the
amount authorized may be under 800
geo tons The present international sugar
union ceases TO be in force sept. /.
1913. but it is likely that the union
viii be renewed for another term; that
is to say. until 1918.
Interest in aviation.
European aviation interest is now
centered in the third annual interna-
tional aviation salon. which has Just
been inaugurated by. president Fal-I
Heres. The huge. space OF the salon
building. with its glare Of light and
beautiful decorations, setting off the z
zoo or more aerOplanes, offers an at
tractITe apd picturesque spectacle
The exhibition indicates that prog
ress and improvement I'm aerOplane con
structlOn have been remarkably rapid
as regards both mOnOplanes and BIZ
planes. but it is generally believed that
there viii be no great changes in the
general appearance Of the aeroplaue in
the near future
Greater Speed Sought
The4 races Of the past year caused
constructors to turn their attention TO
securing increased speed This is evil
dent by the number Of speedy machines
in the exhibition There is however.
strong tendency TO build machines
which afford a maximum OF safetvA tt
is also pointed out that aer0plane pHr-
chasers are insisting upon more com
fort in the aerOplane- Military cor
tracts now contain paragraph deal
lnS with comfortable seats cases in
which to carry tools and sometimes even
the Installation OF wireless teleEra-k
phc apparatus
The general lesson Of the salon is
that the aeroplane has definitely ar
rived as a military Instrument. but
that much is TO be done before aviation
