Odds Against Germans,
THE War Situation as Viewed by H. S
Brown in the Sum-

London, Aug. 16.-With England
still mistress of the seas, with France
gaining complete mastery OF the arr
with the Servians rcpulsing 4OO,OO
of the flower of the Austrian eastern
army i'm fierce battle on the Save
and with Russia's lrgions annlhllat-
ing Austrian regiments and driving
in the German outposts, England Is
waiting confidently for the n"ws OF
the result of the great battle on the
plains of Belgium.
Austria, which prccipitatrd tins
war by her assault on Scrvia, has dis
covered that the Serbs are not awed
by superior numbers and tightyllkc
madmrn, just as Germany was amaz-
ed by the gallant resistance OF the
Relgians and demoralizcd when they
drove back the Uhlans at the point
of the bayonet.
Germany asks through her lmpar-
ial Chancellor that the United States
believe she is victim OF a scmi-Asl.
attic conspiracy to destroy what all
Americans believe is one Of the finest
bravest and most intelligent races in
the world.
Spurncd by Holland, which with
its stout little army threatens to re-
sist to the last if the Kaiser tries to
invade her soil; menacrd by Scandi-
navia, which never fprgcts tn" seizure
of SchIeswig- Holstein; detied by tn"
Swiss and deserted by Italy, which
eagerly awaits the dismemberment Of
Austria, Gcrmany's great army will
fight with the courage that Is the
handmaid of despair.
But it will fight no longer with the
belief born in the days of the grim
iron chancellor. Bismarck, and the
eagle of Prussia, Won Maltke, that
the soldiers of the Fatherland are su-
permrn and invincible.
The sublime faith has been destroyed
by the Belgians, who have seen the
backs of Germany finest, the Death S
Head Regiment, and have killed her
Uhlans as if they were flies; by that
stern General, Won Emmich, heart
broken by his failure at Liege and
dead, it is whispered, by his own
hand; and by scores of her officers
and men reported as seeking to hide
the disgrace of defeat by drowning
themselves in the Meuse.
There is deep signi ficance in the
irony of fate that has enabled the
Belgians to wi pc out the boastful
words, "On to Paris!" chalked on a
captured German train and change
it to This car for Berlin?"
Even now, when England is pre-
pairing to mourn over the bodies OF
her dead sons, when it is officially
bulletined that in view of the posi-
tions of the allied armies no further
announcement will be made, grave
statement that presages an i'm medi-
ate and terrible action, England is
heartsore over the madness of the
two Kaisers. This is no war against
Germany. 1t is war to end an in
tollerable system which permitted
two men to set whole world mad;
to force millions of men to kill, burn
and destroy, which has strangled
commerce and loosed hatreds that
will leave scars never to be healed. -

Why Sugar Is High.
Producers of Cuba Making Big
Profit.

That the price of refined sugar, high
as it now is, will not remain stationery
but will advance to higher levels, in re-
sponse to the inhexible law of supply and
demand with the progress of the Euro
pean war. is the opinion of j. n. Wind-
fielder, assistant to the president OF the
National Sugar Manufacturing Company
and an expert on the sugar industry.
"There is nothing abnormal in the pro-
fit now being made by the sugar rehners
said Mr.. Windfelder "and their prices.
of course, fix the Ameri AN market. The
differential between the prices OF raw
and refined sugars is now about cent
pound, which allows merely reasonable
profit for the refining and marketing OF
the product.
"The reason for the high prices is not
far to seek or hard to find. This country
does not produce, in beet and cane sugar
combined, 25 or cent, of its consump-
ton. The great bulk of its supply comes
from Cuba. Great Britain gets it's sugar
from Germany and Austria with when
countries it Is not now on speaking
terms. With the declaration OF war,
Britain's sugar supply was cut o'f auto
matically, but in anticipation of tn It
event between 300, 900 and 100000 bags
were bought on the New York market
for export to England
"Of course, the Cuban producers were
alert to the situation, and the price OF
raw sugar jumped from So - per loo
pounds, where it stood few days before
war was declared. to S. u, and little
later to Sc So The present price of re-
fined sugar is 81. SO per 100 pounds, which
gives ditf-rental of little less than a
dollar. On that refiners will not wax
undnly wealthy.
"If the war continues, the price of
sugar Is practically certain to make fur
theI advances, as the demand Increases
and the supply becomes correspondingly
inadequate Our company and the Amer
lean beet sugar industry generally viii!
not realize any large profits this year,
because practically all the stock has been
sold to jobbers.
"High prices will not be made by our
selves. because the domestic producti n
of sugar is relatively small part of the
consumption. Prices will be determined
by the Cuban producers, for whose sugar
England Is now bidding strenuously.
Last week, it is reported, the purchases
on the New York market from British
sources aggregated 100, 900 TONS
The circular of the A. H. Lamborn
Company, sugar brokers of New York.
makes the following comment on the sit
uation:.
America particularly will probably
experience high prices during late Sep
tember, October and November. for the
reason that during this period particular
ly Great Britain, probably France, and
possibly Holland will be seeking sugars
for domestic use from sources usually
supplying the United States. Already
we have been advised from French
sources that they will have to secure
outside sugar.
"At this writing, consumers, retailers,
jobbers, manufacturers, distributors and
refiners of the United States realize that
the continuation of the stupendous Euro
pean war means higher level of prices
for years to come Baltimore News.

Teachers Afflicted With Tubercu-
Iosis win Have TO Retire
From Service


~ notice that question has been
raised about the new form Of medical
certificate Slank, ;, said II. W. Kinney,
superintendent of public instruction,
yesterday, ''and, in order 10 avoid all
misunderstanding, It may be wen to
explain the cause Of the nature of this
change.
tThc initiative was taken by the
health authorities as a step In their
tight against tubereulesis. The law
says:
tI'No person who shall have con.
tracted Tuberculosis shall, while AZ.
fiieted with such disease, be allowed to
teach in any public or private school.
(Act lls, Sect. 8, s. L., l911.)'
This law has been to some extent
dead letter IN the past. ] have been
told that In some easex physicians have
issued health certificates without oven
seeing the teacher. / am quite sure
that any parent viii agree with the
authorities that IL Is Of the utmost
Importance that this law be enforced.
Pupils should Be Examined
s"As q matter Of fact, the ideal
thing would be TO have the pupils
thoroughly examined In this respect,
also. This Is done in some commun-
ities, and we may gradually improve
the system acre.
DIR. J. s. B. Pratt, president Of the
board Of health, appeared before the
board Of commissioners at its May
meeting and explained the matter, and
the commissioners adopted the follow
ing resolution;
Resolved, That tho department Of
public instruction cooperate with the
board Of health eonceTning teachers
health certificates;
t'.That the department Of public
instruction recommend to the board Of
health that Il eonfine its questions for
both applicant and physician TO com
npinicabie and contagious diseases only,
and further
Y That the board Of health be, re.
quested to instruct the government
Physicians TO issue such certificates free
of charge to those teachers who come
to them for examination.
Il" The forms were subsequently, draft
ed by the board Of health.
N Where "Fits" Figur,
ft'The fact that they have reference
to fits, fainting, loss Of weight, and so
forth, may cause some needless appre-
hension, but j was assured by the
health authorities, before the forms
were issued, that these questions were
asked solely because these complaints
may be symptoms Of Tuberculosis,
and the answers win convey informa'
ton which Is useful to the health
authorities. Not being physician, Il
will not attempt to discuss this phase
OF the question.
'nThe fact remains that so far as
the department Of public instruction y
concerned, teachers may. have fits aud
loss Of weight to their hcarts fullest
desire, 50 long as this does not indi-
cate that they have Tuberculosis.
