facts will convince anyone that wants
to be fair, the conditions brought on
by the war warranted the increase.
1T is a wellknown fact that at
least one-fialf Of the sugar consumed
in the world comes from Germany
and Austria. or that part Of Europe
directly affected by the war. That
the United States, England, France
and other countries depended upon
and naturally expected sugar from
this well-known source Of supply
england, knowing that sugar can
not be obtained from Europe, turns
to Cuba, to which the United States
has looked for years for large sup
ply, and buys all the sugar in sight.
Last year congress passed law,
gradually reducing the tariff on sugar
and thereby taking away the protec-
ton to that industry, enjoyed for
years in this country, resulting IN
many farmers putting their land in
other use than raising beets and
sugar cane, and now we find that
even this country is short on the
usual production Of sugar. i5se
i ION August /, when the beet sugar
people awoke to the fact that 1t would
be profitable to plant beet seed, which
heretofore had always been plentiful
at 800 per bag. they found that beet
seed could not be bought for $4,000
per bag, and there is question
whether any great quantity Of beet
seed can be obtained at aM rs It Is
almost Mholly an Imported safticle.
"A.few dayspago the American
Sugar Refining Co. exported eighty
thousand bags OF sugar to Greece at
$500 per bag, and thas is the hrst
sugar ever exported by this country
to Greece, showing what scarcity
of sugar there is in the world.
"These conditions governing the
supply Of sugar have caused the in
crease in price, and all this talk about
combinations, agreements and con-
spiracy to boost the price of sugar on
the part of the wholesale grocers is
mere surmise and the result OF mag
nation.
"The great publicity given to the
advance Of this one article, sugar, has
made the retail grocer and consumer
purchase supplies for months, not
only of sugar, but other foods, and
that fact has, of course, raised prices;
this unusual demand on the part OF
consumers has been the big factor
pushing the market up, making busI-
ness conditions with the wholesale
and retail grocer abnormal.
"As to flour. There is only slight
increase. Flour often fluctuates SO
cents to $1.OO barrel, and the price
Of -four has not increased over SO
cents barrel since the war.
"The great scare the people receiv-
ed from reports of the European war,
resulted in big demand the first
week or ten days, and then the price
of -four settled to about the usual
price.
"The wholesale grocers of this
country are doing all they can to
quiet this uneasiness, this as you
might say. panic that prevails, and
we hope that we may have the hon.
est cooperation Of the press.
Amy combination or conspiracy to
maintain prices on foods should be
checkmated and those guilty punish
ed but I feel sure that no such
combination or agreement exists with

Crowds Attend.

WEST POINT, Sept. 2S.-Every-
thing is in readiness for what gives
promise to be the largest and most
successful fair ever held in West
Point during the forty-three years Of
its existence. The real fair will be
held today and Friday. although there
was much to be seen yesterday, which
gives sensible ring to the slogan
Back to Iowa. For some time the
continued drought has been source
of worry to the fair directors but it
has been blessed with copious rains
during the week so that one will not
have the dust to contend with and
there is an abundant supply of water
for the stock.
The exhibits are unusual in extent
and quality. The commodious quar-
tiers offered for the housing OF the
stock brought for exhibit are taxed to
the limit, Notwithstanding new barn
had been built.
The pantry EXHIBITS are more extern
sive than usual, more than 1000 ex-
hibits at this time. The art exhibit Is
splendid in the matter Of high class
paintings. Miss Ethel Lynn has a
fine collection on display.

the Green Bay Grange. every veget-
able, fruit, grain, flower, as well as all
kinds Of pastry, canned fruit and
fancy work, is on display and was
raised by some members OF this or
ganization. q There is large and
varied display from the Ames college,
especially interesting to the farmer.
Perhaps the largest and best ex-
hibit on the ground is that of poultry.
The large room especially prepared
for this is filed to overfiowing. It is
seldom that SO large display OF
poultry is seen at one time. c. G.

first to insist upon conviction.
wholesale grocers have endeavor-

performing and doing work that is
absolutely necessary; that there is no

they are subservient to economic
conditions, and that they are not
parasites or middlemen."

London, Aug. 21, 1.20 a. m.-The Germans have at last occupied Brus- sells, but in Alsace they seem to be making no advance. The latest re- port is that the French have recap tured Muelhausen. and it still seems true that after eis teen days of r1ght- ing. there are m German troops on French soil.
 On Germanys eastern frontier there has been cct siderable outpost fighting, which would indicate that the Rus sians are completing their work of concentrating. There has, however, been no big collision in this region as yet. Austria is too much engaged with Russia and with the need of help ing Germany to make much progress in her campaign against Servia.
 No news whatever has been receiv- cd of any naval movements, either in the North sea of the Mediterranean.
 The death of Plus Plus will be made tl e occasion for another effort to bring about pence. It is stated that when the TO c.ave meets in Rome to elect Q new pope it will send an appeal to tn rrIng nations for peace and will ask the United States to aid it fin bringing about tranquility.
 According to the small amount of news that has been allowed to come in from Berlin, something like normal conditions prevail in the German cap ital The price of food is declining and now that the troop movements have been accomplished a resumption of general work on railways is beginning.
 Confirmation has been received of the report that Emperor William has ordered resistance to any effort that Japan may make to seize Kiao-Chow.

 The Belgian army Is retiring on Antwerp, without having been engag- ed by the Germans.
 Along with the announcement of the fall of Brussels. the official statement says: "Our troops have met with brilliant success in Alsace, especially between Muelhausen and Altkirch. The Germans, retiring on the Rhine, left in our hands many prisoners and "A guns six of which were captured aft CT a sharp struggle by our infantry.
 "In Lorraine, the day was less for tunate for us. Our advanced troops found themselves faced by exception ally strong positions. They were forced by a counter-attack to fall back in a body, which is solidly establish ed on the Seille and along the canal from the Marne to the Rhine"
 The official statement continues:
 'sIn conformity with a prearranged plan, the Belgian field army retreated on the entrenched camp of Antwerp, after brilliantly fulfilling their duty as dictated by the strategical situation, and delaying for a fortnight the Ger man passage of the Mouse.

 The sister was assisted from the room and collapsed soon afterwards. Dr. Amici attended her, but alarming symptoms developed, with high fever, from which she did not rally.

 The death of the pontiff has been the cause of intense grief to the papal sec retary of state. who today could not refrain from tears, even in the pres- ence of strangers. He said:
 T have lost the one dearest to my heart. He was more than pontiff, more than master; he was my second father"
 Contrary to custom, the cardinals ID to noon had not received an invitation to go to the vatican for the first meet ing after the death of the pope. The delay was due to the absence from Rome of Cardinal Seraphin Vannutelli, dean of the sacred college, by whom such invitation must be issued

He took the night train for Rome, but shortly after leaving Naples a dynamite bomb exploded in the train. wouiding ten of the passengers The cardinal was not injured, but was obliged to wait for the next train.

DEVELOPMENTS IN
 EUROPEAN WAR.

The Germans have taken Brussels, the capital of Belgium, already rich in warfares' history and in art and culture. It was here that the Duke of Wellington danced at night and sallied forth in the morning to meet his army at Quatre Bras for the battle of Waterloo. Once strongly fortified. the capital for years had been without armament with which to resist attack.
 The German army, it was official ly reported last night, was pressing it's advantage in Brussels oy throwing large numbers of troops into the city, while the Belgians were retreating unmolested on Ant werp, to which city the seat of gov ernment was moved a few days ago. The official announcement of the German victory at Brussels did not mention the casualties of either side
 French official advioes stated that Muelhausen, in Alsace, has been re- captured by the French from the Germans. who were said to be re- treating on the Rhine; but in Lor- raine it was admitted the Germans had forced the French to fall back on their bases.
 The Russians claimed successes in outpost skirmishes on the Austrian and German frontiers.
 Confirmation was received last night of the report that Emperor William had ordered resistance to any Japanese effort to seize Kiao- Chow.
