May Attack Canada.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Germany's
right 10 land troops in Canada, if pos
sible, and thus secure at least a tenn.
porary foothold on the American con-
tinent, was upheld today by Count Won
Bernstoriff, German ambassador here,
who declared this would not be vio-
lation of the Monroe doctrine.
The ambassador suggested that, as
Canada was sending soldiers to Eu-
rope OF fight against his country, the
United States should not consider it in
any sense an infringement ON the Mon
roe doctrine if Germany should land
an armed force on Canadian SOIL
Discussing his now much talked of
note of September 3 to the state de-
partment here. explaining the attitude
of the German government toward the
Monroe doctrine, and giving assurance
any South American colonization
schemes in event of victory over the
allies, the ambassador said only South
America was referred to at that time
because there never had been any
question raised as to seek colonial.
tion in any other part of the Ameri.
can hemisphere.

ed guilty to the charge of embezzle-

held for trial under bond of $4,000.
Aliens shortage will approximate $780,
900. 1t develops from the audit of his

of his term of nearly four years, part
of them under the administration of

Prohibits Sugar imports.

London, Oct. 23.-An official state.
ment issued this evening says the gov.
ernment has prohibited the importa.
tion of sugar into the United Kingdom,
with the object of preventing German
and Austrian sugar reaching here
from neutral countries.
Explaining the governments deci.
sion to prohibit the importation of
sugar into the United Kingdom, the
official news bureau says:
"At the present time ther are few
exports of great value which can be
sent out in exchange for goods which
Germany receives from neutral coun-
tries. Of these sugar is the chief. AL
ready exchanges are rising against
Germany and Austria, and if the ex-
portation of sugar could be prevented
or rendered Improbable further ser.
ious blow would be struck to their
trade"

Sunk Thirteen British Ships.

London, Oct. pa dispatch from
Teneriffe, Canary islands, to the Daily
Mail, under date of Thursday, reports
that the German cruiser Karlsruhe
has sunk 13 British merchantmen in
the Atlantic.
The news of the Karlsrhue's exploit.
according to the Daily Nails Tener.
life correspondent, was brought to that
port by the German steamer Crefeld
which arrived there with the crew OF
British steamers which were sunk by
the Karlsruhe. The Crefeld was &C.
companied into port by the German
steamers Patagonia, Rio Negro and
Asuncion.
A later message states that more
than 400 men of the crews are prison.
ers. The ships were mostly engaged
in South American trade and their to.
tai tonnage is about sixty thousand.
