BRITAIN DECLINES OFFER
OF FISHERMEN SAILORS
Extra Men Not Necessary, Because
Of Improved Naval Situation,
Says Admiralty.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., September AS a
result of the improved British naval sit
uation. resulting from the blockade of the
German fleet in its ports in the North
sea, the British admiralty. after accept
ing an offer by the Newfoundland gov
eminent to increase the existing force of
naval reserves among the Newfoundland
fishermen from 500 to 1000, has decided
that the increase will not be required,
and that it will not be necessary to con-
tinue in active service 400 out of 500
men who responded to the call to arms
at the beginning of August and assembled
here.
The reason for this decision is said
to be that all the remaining requirements
of the British warships in England have
been satisfactorily met and on this side
the only naval volunteers necessary are
100 for the Canadian cruiser Niobe, and
another 100 for the drill ship Calypso
stationed here.

to Have Been Mobbed.

LONDON, September 2.-Mrs Stobart,
who went to Brussels in the middle of
August to establish a hospital under the
auspices of the Belgian Red Cross, has
returned to London after thrilling ex-
periences. While trying to get from
Brussels through the German lines she
was arrested with her party outside of
Louvain and taken in a coal truck to
Tongres. where she declares she was sub
mitted to insulting treatment as sus-
pected spy at the hands of the German
officers.
Mrs. Stobart and her party spent the
night in a guardroom, expecting to be
shot in the morning. They were, how
ever. sent on to Cologne. They were de-
prived of all their documents and mob
bed by crowds of bowling German SOL
diers at Liege, Aachen and other stop
ping places. They were finally liberated
and escaped through Holland after en-
countering many difficulties.

EXPLAINS THE INCREASE
IN THE PRICE OF SUGAR
American Refining Company At
tributes It Largely to Loss Of
European Product.

| The increase in the price OF sugar has
i, brought forth an explanation from the
I! American Sugar Refining Company Of
| New York, through local dealers.
1.-The rise is easily explained" says
the company, land we desire to make
to you and through you to such Of your
customers as are interested the following
| statement:
I'm the first place, let us make 1t clear
| to you that this company sells less than
40 per cent of the refined sugar used
in the United States, and, secondly. that
it does not own an acre Of sugar land
and does not produce pound OF raw
sugar 1t is entirely dependent Tor Its
supply upon the growers of cane sugar
of Porto Rico, Cuba, Hawaii. the Philip
pines, Java and other countries.
British Beet Product.
'1n normal times Europe has g. beet
crop, producing each year about s'ooo'ooo
tons of sugar. For example, the Euro
pean countries. including those now at
war; produced during the last campaign
the following amounts Of sugar: Ger
many, 273S,G0O tons; Austria. 1.71O,OOo
lions; France, 100000 tons; Russia,
1,75o,oo0 tons; Belgium, 100000 tons;
Holland, 10000 tons. and other coun-
tries. 796, 700 tons, making a total Of
S,25i, 100 tons. This constitutes about 40
per cent of the worlds total supply.
The war will mean a serious. loss
to the European crop and has brought
about a tremendous advance in sugar
prices in European ports and an I'M
precedented demand for raw and ne
fined sugars in this country and its
sources of production. We have been
compelled to raise our price for refined
sugar to an amount corresponding to
the increased price which we have to
pay for raws.
July &c raw sugar was sold at 1926
of raw sugar had risen to $50 cents
per pound. July Is this company was
selling graduated sugar for 4.4O cents
per pound, since which time it has
been compelled to raise its price to
an amount corresponding to that which
it has had to pay for raws."
A-opes Loss Is Not Serious.
The statement concludes with the
expression of the hope that the
Europe will not be so serious as esti-
mated and that the yield abroad may
approach the normal. 1T is for the
interest of refiner and dealer" it adds,
that the consumption of sugar should
be as large as possible. as high prices
cause a reduction in consumption" and
ends by saying: "In any event this
company will continue to offer it's
sugars at a reasonable margin over
the raw sugar prices"

To Reorganize Consular Service,

Reorganization of the consular service
to permit of the transfer of officers from
one post to another without change of
grade or pay was proposed in bill
under consideration today by the House
foreign affairs committee. Under the
present plan a consul assigned to one
particular city could not be transferred
to any other place without losing rank or
pay. Impelled by the war situation in
Europe, the State Department has urged
a change in that system.

| One Of the Presidents first acts to-

the war-riak insurance bill, and stimuli
taneously he got In communication with
Senate and House leaders as to appear

customs receipts since the European war
| began The President, it is understood.
VIII make it clear to Congress and the
country ehat the administration had been
assured of abundant revenues to run the
government prior to the outbreak of hos
Utilities abroad. but that the cessation of
shipplng to this country would rob the
treasury of millions of revenues for this

come

still in Washington.

No Campaigning Contemplated.
Although the Maine congressional, gu
bernatorial and other elections are less
than two weeks off, to be held the sec
ond Monday in September, President
Wilson is not expected to take any act
i've part in behalf of the democratic can
didates there, either through letters or
speeches. He certainly has no plans to
make speeches, and if he does any letter
writing 1t will be limited.
Representative Frank Dorennus, chair
man of the democratic congressional
committee, spent some time at the White
house today giving officials there an idea
of the situation in Maine.
THE republicans were doing a lot of
loud talking a few weeks ago about
cleaning up the democrats in. Novem-
ber," he said today, ''but 1 am panied to
observe that they have now ceased max
ing claims of any kind. When l was a

Committee Kept Busy.

While Mr.. Doremus is not making pre-
dictions for the democrats. it is declared
that this does not mean that his committee
is not at work. 1t is sending out thousands
of documents into Maine telling of dem
ocratic achievements and trying to con-
vince the hard-headed Maine voter that
the party should be trusted for another
two years. Mr.. Doremus had arranged
to flood Maine this week and next with
distinguished senators and representa-
tives, who would tell over and over the
good things the party had done, but that
little deduction-of-pay resolution in the
House and important business in the Sen
ate has stopped the democratic oratorical
invasion of the state. Likewise has the
republican draft of big guns been stop
ped. and the Maine republican papers
keep republican speakers OF prominence
out of the state. Senator Gore of Okla
homa is the only democrat of prominence
who is now in Maine.
Mr.. .DoremuS is exceedingly hopeful as
to the outcome in Maine, but makes no
claims. For general congressional cleo
tons in November next he also is hope
full His committee will continue to send
out literature. and il Congress adjourns

Attorney General McReynolds, calling

then take the cath as head of the De-
