Europe and America are now en-
gagged in battle royal for sugar. That
is the primary cause Of the high prices
that now prevail cut off by the out
break Of the war from her supply Of
"A million and a half tons Of sugar or
dinarily secured from Germany and
Austro- 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 nee
essary to secure sugar, British buyers
invaded the American market Within
little more than week they pur-
chased almost a hundred thousand
tons Of raw and refined sugar bidding
up the market nearly three cents a
pound in the process of getting 1t.
Their buying suhsided temporarily
only when they found il impossible
to secure further prompt transpor-
tation. As another war measure for
securing a supply Of sugar, orders
were issued I'm all the sugar growing
colonies Of Great Britain, forbidding
the sale OF sugar except for imperial
use
At the outbreak Of the war the visi
BILE supply of sugar available for the
American market was barely sufficient
to last until the new crop Of American
grown sugar should begin to BECOME
available In October The withdrawal
OF one hundred thousand tons from
this supply created serious short
age. and inquiries received in the New
York market indicating that England
would seek to obtain several hundred
thousand tons more Of sugar, and that
other European countries might en-
deavor to purchase sugar here, threat
ened to make this shortage much
more serious. As Q result, American

.FUMIGATE 1900 SHIPS
YEARLY IN PLAGUE WAR
Public Health Service Bulletin Tells
of Fight on Bubonic
Rat Pest.

An average of 1900 vessels of va
each year by the public health service.
IN the battle to prevent the reintroduc-
ton of bubonic plague into the United
States. according to bulletin of the
service just issued. The process. the
bulletin states, kills from five to 300
rats per vessel, and the service esti
mates that more than $4,000 rats are
killed each year in this manner.
Rats. the bulletin says. are hosts to
species of fea that transmits the germ
of bubonic plague from rats to human
dies within two or three days. and as
soon as it is dead the fleas that in
fest 1t seek other habitations. Some
times the insects quarter themselves on
other rats, and sometimes they find
human hosts. The plague is transmit
ted by means of the bites of the feas.
The need for continual warfare
against rats is emphasized in the bull
letin by the statement that a single
pair of rats in five years would pro-
