AS producers and builders, the
American people excel all previous
civilization and we are a present-day
marvel in business efficiency. but I n
dealing with foreign countries we are
a sorry lot of traders. Ever since
William Penn traded with the Indians
a handful of trinkets for what is now
the state of Pennsylvania. the Ameri-
can people have been selling their
birthright to foreigners for a mess of
pottage, so to speak.
We export over $50. 900. 900 Of cat

and u American h%eiresses spend a
similar sum in buying and maintain

These foreign noblemen are. as a rule.
absolutely worthless-in fact become
a perpetual liability-for it costs
more money to operate and keep
them in repair than it does to run our
cotton mills. European royalty puts
the black sheep of its families on the
block and our rich American girls
buy them and we virtually exchange
railroads, wheat fields and millions OF
dollars worth of products Of farm.

who could not be resold for any sum.
1t does not require foreign treaties, a
fleet Of var vessels Or tariff revision
to stop this enormous loss. 1t needs
only common sense in the homes OF
the rich.
We export s18, 100000 Of lumber

British Protest.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Great
Britain today formally protested
against President Wilson's plan for
building up a merchant marine by
purchase Of German ships in Ameri-
can ports, according to a high author
ity.
The protest has been received by
the state department, along with a
similar protest made by the French
government through Ambassador Jus.
serand several days ago. The British
government declares the purchase OF
ships would be contrary to the rules
of neutrality in that it would be lend
ing aid indirectly to Germany, taking
useless ships off her hands and CIV
ing her money in exchange. Sir Ce'
Gil Spring. of Great Britain called at
the state department and spent near
'ly an hour in conference with Off
cials today. 1t was understood the
purpose Of his visit was to advance
on behalf Of his government. e plan
for simplifying the rules OF the Brit
ish prize courts in order to enable
American shippers whose goods have
been seized to obtain their money as
quickly as possible. His plan 1t is
said, met with the approval Of the
state department.

sumers In all parts OF the country
rushed to lay in supplies far In ex-
cess of their ordinary purchases, thu
accentuating the scarcity.
The prize for which the buyers OF
Great Britain and America are n
tending is the Cuban sugar crop. Eng
land and the United States zach Inn
port annually about 100000 long
tons OF sugar. The Cuban crop Is
about $4,000 600 tons, enough to supply
one OF these two big customers. but
entirely inadequate to meet the needs
of both. The prospecr, therefore. Is
for a keen struggle on the part OF
these two countries to secure the
bulk Of the coming Cuban crop in
case the war continues for any con-
siderable length Of time.
When the present blockade OF ship
ping is relieved, 1t is probable that
Great Britain, n possibly also the
United States, may obtain some sugar
from tropical cane growing countries
other than Cuba. The fact remains,
however, that the European nations
producing annually 5000. 900 long tons
Of sugar, or As percent of the entire
worlds sugar supply, are now at war.
A large part OF this crop will be sac
rifced-how much remains to be seen.
At any rate, approximately 100000
tons ordinarily exported from these
countries is withdrawn from accus-
toned trade channels, and this means
a worldwide scarcity of sugar while
the war continues and probably for
some time afterward.
The one great lesson for the Amer
lean people in the present situation IS
the necessity Of encouraging and de-
veloping the production from Ameri-
can soil of all the sugar required by
the American people SO that we may
be Independent of other nations and
our consumers may be assured of a
permanent adequate supply OF cheap
sugar.

THE TOWN OF No-GooD.
Kind friends, have you heard Of the
town Of No-Good
On the banks of the river Slow,
When the Some-Tinle-or-other scents
the air
And the soft Go-easies grow?
It lies in the valley of What's-the-use
In the Province Of Let-her-slide;
It's the home of the reckless I-don't'
cart
Where the Give-it-ups abide.
The town is as old as the human race
And it grows with the flight OF
years;
1t is wrapped in the fog of tie idler's
dreams;
Its streets are paved with discarded
schemes,
And are sprinkled with useless
tears.

WHY PRICE OF SUGAR Is HIGH.

WHY PRICE OF SUGAR Is HIGH.
Europe and America are now en-
gagged in a battle royal for sugar.
That is the primary of the high
prices that now prevail. Cut off by
the outbreak of the war from her sup
ply of 1900, 900 tons Of sugar ordinar-
lily secured from Germany and AUS
tria-Hungary, England turned to the
nearest available sugar market, which
happened to be New York. Backed
by cash, assuming all the war risk
involved in shipment and ready to
pay whatever prices might be neces-
sary to secure sugar, British buyers
invaded the American market. With
in little more than a week, they pur-
chased almost 100, 900 tons OF raw and
refined sugar, bidding up the market
nearly 3 cents a pound in the process
of getting it. Their buying subsidized
temporarily only when they found 1t
impossible to cur further prompt
transportation. AS another war meas

At the outbreak Of the wal the Wis

American market was barely sufficient
to last until the new crop of Ameri-
can grown sugar should begin to be-
come available in October. The with
drawal Of 100000 tons from this sup
ply created a serious shortage, and

market indicating that Englang would
