Georgia legislators can well afford
to watch the outcome Of the manda
mus suit filed in the United States
District Court at Nashville against
the Nashville, Chattanooga and st,
Louis Railway, in which Attorney
General }. c. McReynolds seeks to
have the defendant company divulge
its correspondence relating to It's con-
nection with the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad.
This is a step in the Governments
effort to separate the n, c. q st l..
from the control of the l.. & n. and
make OF it an Independent and com
petitive system. The mandamus hear
ing will come UP before Federal Judge
f. r. Sanford at Knoxville on Feb
ruary %.
Georgla's legislative interest in this
question lies In the fact that the
y. G. & st. l.. is the lessee from
the State Of Georgia of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, and that both
the n, G. q St L. and l.. Il n. use
the W & A. for entrance into At
lanta.
A dissolution Of the klnship now
existing between the N, &. Il ST. t..
and L. Il n. would have a direct
bearing on the releasing of the w. "
A., which must be arranged by 1919,
unless the State takes back it's road
and operates II as a State institution.
Officials of the n. c, & st. l.. have
refused to give UP the correspondence
demanded to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. hence the mandamus ac-
ton They claim that the refusal TO
give the commission the files and cor
respondence comes from the fact that
the Hepburn amendment TO the gen
eral law allows access to the ae-
counts, records and memoranda as
required by the commission 20 be
kept. and the examination can only
include such records since the amend
ment was adopted. They say 1t does
not in any sense include the genera
correspondence, files and indexes not
REQUIRED by the commission To be
kept. These points will be the main
contention of the defendant road
when argument is heard before Judge
Sanford.
The Attorney Generals mandamus
petition states that an agent OF the
commission, acting under resolution
of the United States Senate, sought
to obtain this information, but was
denied an investigation by the ROAD.
The suit is the first tangible step
in the fight of United States Senator
Lea against the L. & n. and It's alb
sorption of the N, G. a. st l.. ana
other Tennessee roads and its al
lesed suppression Of competition by
arrangement with competing lines.

steps to bring forth the works OF our
home talent. | am almost certain that
our country can show musical creations
by American born citizens. works which
have been overlooked BY operate and
musical managers simply from our habit
Of catering to foreign productions. Now
is the time to allow our musical geniuses
to step forth and by the generous cooper
alton ot our managers to let their operas

by their countrymen.

The Austrian View Of Responsibility y
for the European War.

An Austrian Diplomat" presents In
Worlds Work for September the Aus
triau view of that nations 'rivilizing
mission" in the Balkan peninsula; and,
Incidentally. of the locus Of responsi'
blllty for the most terrible war In the
history Of civilization" namely, TINT
which Is now raging far from the Ser
vian border. The general statement OF
Aus,ria.IIungary' ideas and purposes
Is extremely interesting and worth at
tention. The conclusion Is this:
The assassination OF the Archduke
FRANCIS FERDINAND and his consort at
Sarajevo by a young Serb patriot this
summer startled the world and aroused
Austria to the imperative need OF ener-
getic action to put a check upon a poiiti-
cal and racial movement which had de-
generated into a conspiracy to commit
murder
THE tremendous events which have
cast the world in gloom since July 20
are the outcome OF Servlas resistance TO
Austrin's demand for cessation of this
orgy Of violence The Servians have op-
posed Austria's civilizins mission with
unpardonable venom, and Austria has not
hinched before the task of undertaking
to crush that opposition"
The impotence OF wouldbe shapers
of events In palaces and chancelleries
10 conline them TO the projected course
was never more strlkingly illustrated
than by yesterdays announcement that
Austria has already deferred her puni-
tive mission in Servia and turned her
military attention elsewhere. 1t is
further illustrated by the circumstance
that the alleged guilt of the Servians
IN opposing Austria's civilizing mission
with objectionable venom has been ex-
plated, up TO date, not by the Servians
themselves but mainly by the innocent
and neutral Belgians

TWO GREAT NATIONS.
DE Tocqueville on the Americans and the

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--sir: Ow-
ing to the stupendous upheaval In all Eu-
rope and the wide field for conjecture
with relation TO the final outcome. we are
being treated to an infinite variety Of
forecasts and prophecies. The papers have
given us the visions OF Napoleon. Tenny-

likewise OF all the noted sstrologers and

words OF great French statesman and

our Institutions about the middle OF the
last century. De Tocqueville ts05-ls5s)

ica." has this TO say:
There are at the present time two great
nations In the world which seem to tend
toward the same end although they started
from different points. | allude to the Rus.
SLAMS and the Americans. Both OF them
have grown up unnotlced; and while the
attention of mankind was directed else
where they have suddenly assumed most
prominent place among tho nations; and
the world learned their existenc. and their
greatness at almost the same time.
All other nations seem TO have nearly
reached their natural limits. and only to be
charged with the maintenance OF their
power; but these are stIll In the act Of
growth: all the others are stopped or con-
tinus to advance with extreme difncuity
these are proceeding with ease and with
celebrity along a path to which the human
eye assign no term. The American
struggles az sinst the natural obstacles which
oppose him; tho sdversaries OF the Russian
are men: the former combats the wilderpess

Of the one are therefore gained by the

sword. The Anglo American relies upon

THE SUGAR SUPPLY.
A Gloomy view OF the situation in This
Country.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: c. II.
Carter In his letter on The Rise In Sugar"
asserts that the American production Of
sugar has not been curtailed and says I:
Far from wiping out American beet we
have crop nearing harvest OF $1,000
tons Levdently he means $4,000 tonsl.
almost the same as last year, the largest
crop in history"
The facts are that with the reduction
OF the tariff now in force and the near
approach of free sugar eleven beet sugar
factories have closed down and the acre
age planted 10 beets has been reduced
from $4,000 acres last year to $50, 900
acres this year. This will mean re-
duction OF approximately 100000 tons in
the output OF beet sugar this year.
In Louisiana over forty sugar mills and
plantations have gone out OF business
since the free sugar bill was passed. and
In Porto Rico six large centrals have
gone Into bankruptcy. Does Mr. Carter
know that the sugar planters In Porto
Rico plant their crop three years In ad-
vance and that they are compelled to bor-
row money from banks on each crop 2
Bankers knowing the effect OF free sugar
Will not lend money on "a crop which
might have to be sold below cost OF pro-
duction in order to compete with sugar
grown In foreign countries. where tho cost
OF labor and land is about one-half that
of Porto Rico.
Referring to the beet crop OF this year
Mr.. Carter says This will be marketed
with expedition so s to benefit by pre-
vailing high prices, and will give Amcri-
can producers very handsome profits."
Investigation has shown that the larger
portion Of tho sugar now being turned
out and that to be turned out within the
next two months was all contracted for
months ago at price OF little over
four cents pound.
The whole American sugar crop prob
ably will be about 2b per cent. smaller
this year than last year, The present
situation affords very striking proof OF
the folly OF destroying American sugar
production by free trade legislation.

whether the people OF the United States

considerations, we have a vital interest In

should tho Powers opposing Germany

ponderant at sea, "a condition which we

members who have remained In Washing
ton during the summer should be relieved
by those who have spent their time either
at resorts or their homes.
Absenteeism has grown to such extent
that It has been found impossible since
the latter part OF June to assemble

political organization that draws the hard
and fast rules that become necessary a!

was In charge OF the bill, moved that
