GERMAN IDEAS ON TARIFF
Reductions Matter Less than
Methods of Appraising.

Berlin. April l0.-Tariff experts and
manufacturers in Germany are inclined TO
reserve their opinions on the American
tariff revision bill pending the arrival Of
fuller details tnan have been given in the
cablcd summaries. They point out that
experience has shown the impossibiity
of Judging tho effect Of such measures on
German trade from incomplete reports.
Dr.. Wilhelm Wendlandt. Of tho Com
mcrcial Treaty Society which spccializes
in tariff studies on behalf OF German
manufacturers and commercial bodies.
gives expression 10 what IS the fairly
general belief when he declares that the
matter OF reductions OF tariff is less i'm
portant than the methods Of appraising
and collecting duties. The announce
mcnt that the formaities OF al yalorem
appraisal arc TO lie made strictcr and that
the Treasury will be authorized 10 exclude
wares whose manufacturers refuse in
speotion OF their books will, he says. rem
der the reform illusory as far as German
manufacturers are concerned. AS long
as tho regulations in this regard arc not
revised, he concludes. there can be no
question Of real reform Of the American
tariff. The reductions. he adds. will open
an increased market for German products
hut this Will be too small 10 alter the
general volume Of German exports TO the
United States
The "Frankfuerter ZcitunG' holds sim
liar views. saying that II the new rcgu-
lations are enacted into law the Ameri-
can tariff reform will be a mere humbuS.
The great majority of foreign interests.
it SAYS would far rather dispense with
any reduction than accept in the bargain
an increased opening for administrative
chicanery. If the bill should be enacted,
it continues, German industries Dartcu-
larry those concerned with textile and
metal goods and in n lesser degree those
dealing with wooden wares, paper ma
chimes and machine parts, would benefit
decidedly.
The same newspaper however warns
Germans against reaching any conclu-
sions on the subject before the American
Senate acts on the bill, particularly IN re-
gard 10 the sugar paragraph. on account
OF the anti-rcform party in the Senate.
The idea OF possible German American
reciprocity and OF permanent settle
lnent OF trace reiations between Ger
many and the United States Is welcomed
generally, although this is conSidcIeu 10

SEE RUIN IN FREE SUGAR
Administration Admits 1t Would
Wipe Out u. S. Growers.

Washington. Apri! 1O-What effect the
free sugar programme Of the Democrats
will have on the industry in Louisiana
may be estimated from a statement made
public to-day by the Secretary Of Com
rnerce on the results OF an investigation
OF the cost OF sugar growing in that
state. made in 1912 under direction OF the
Tariff Board.
The report shows that the average cost
OF producing sugar il Louisiana was 459
cents a pound in 49,. 90 cents in 1910
and $50 cents In 1900. The cost was abb
normally high in 1917 because Of the So
vero freeze. The lowest cost was 2s9
cents a pound, In 1910.
The prices FOR refined sugar, fine Granu-
lated, in the New York market yester-
day ranged from j.25 TO 40 cents. &C
cordug to The Tri5unes market report.
Yesterdays market and the cost of pro-
ducing sugar IN Louisiana in 1911 were.
therefore. about the same, with the
present tariff prevailing.
The advantage held by the Cuban
grower is indicated by the following para
graph OF Secretary Redheld's statement:
"a comparison of Cuban and certain
Louisiana factories for five years shows
an average yield in Cuba OF 1898 pounds
a ton OF cane. and 1919 pounds in Louisi-
ana. a difference in yield OF GA pounds
of sugar ton Of cane The sucrose in
extraction juice was $50 per cent in Cuba
and about 10 per cent in Louisiana"
In Louisiana 329,64 acres in twenty
three parishes are In sugar cane. In 1911
3 500 54i tons OF cane we're raised and
SOC. qSa, 500 pounds of sugar produced. The
statement of the Secretary of Commerce
seems likely TO increase rather than d.
minish the difficulties of Representative
Underwood TO carry out President VII
sons fiat for free sugar. In the light %
the reported declaration by Secretary
Redheld that the Louisiana sugar indus
trv has no right 10 live at the expense
Of the people OF the United States, the
statement may be taken az an authorita-
tive admission OF the administration that
free sugar means a death blow 10 the
cane EroMers OF tho South.

the list. That wouldn't indicate
that the individuals are any strong
err, either in batting or in stealing
bases.
"Of course. in many other ways
baseball has gone ahead. When
was in the game baseball was a
sport. Today it is a business.
There were mighty few of us
dozen years ago who saved any
money. At the present the aver
age chap takes UP baseball for ten
years, saves his money and then
starts up in business. All that has
come with the publicity given the
game and the bigger attendance,
which permits the payment Of
larger salaries.
There are more ball players to-
day who are deeper students of the
business they are following, and
watch the opposing players more
closely to determine what are their
weaknesses. Also they play more
for one run than we used to do
We wanted to be ahead four or
five runs. Nowadays the team cap
tain is quite satisfied when he Is a
run to the good That makes closer
scores, and probably the spectators
are all the more satisfied.
Il don't know that l have pointed
out what l have meant to show, but
want to impress upon the younger
generation the class of men who
made baseball in my day, who built
the foundation for the big organi-
cations of the present time. Men
like Clark Griffith, Jimmy Callahan.
Frank Chance, Cap Arson, John J.
McGraw, Connie Mack, Bobby Nc
Aleer and Jake Stahl all played
with me. Today they are manag-
ing major league clubs, and the
fact that they have been able to
keep apace with the changes shows
that baseball hasn't stepped any too
lively for them"

the inventor Whispered it into our
ear, the game runs thus:
A baseball can not be easily held
by players in cold weather, hence
the need of a game with the larger,
clumsier football. 1t is played on
a baseball diamond, with the same
number of players on a side, the
most notable difference being that
there is no pitcher. The player oc-
cupies the position of another
shortstop, right shortstop,' between
first and second.
The ball is put into play by
being kicked from the home plate,
and the runner hikes for first, as in
baseball, and is put out by the
passing of the ball to first ahead
of him, as in baseball or being
touched by it in the hands of a
player
The runner may not advance
from a base when the ball has
been passed to the baseman who
touches the base while the runner
is there; this debars the runner
from advancing from the base I'M
til it has been again kicked out; it
likewise debars any runner back of
him. The kick may be of any sort
place, punt or drop kick The
runner may be declared out if he
advances from the base before the
ball is kicked out. If the ball is
kicked foul, the kicker is out he
is also out if he fails in an attempt
to kick.
The game is very lively, being
full of constant kicking, running,
catching and passing. 1t develops
strength, speed, accuracy and skill,
and with less liability to accident
even than in baseball, on account
of the freedom from the chance Of
being injured by a pitched or bat
ted ball"
