than one-third OF the total sugar crop
of the world. Ordinarily Germany, Aus
tria and Russia export a million tons
or more Of sugar to other countries,
largely TO Great Britain. The largest
production and the largest expectation
is that of Germany. The harvesting
Of the German beet crop is carried on
largely by labOrers from Russian Pol
and, and this labor will not be avail
able IL the war continues during the
harvesting period. In all the countries
involved in the war the labor supply
is drained by military operations, and
II is likely that the beet fields may be
devastated by the movement of troops.
Great Britain is the chief sugar i'm
porting country Of Europe. Her yearly
importations are over two million tons.
OF which approximately 100000 tons
ordinarily is drawn from nations now
involved in war. With this source of
supply cut off, Great Britain has
turned To the New York market to
secure sugar, buying 10000 tons with
in the first few days Of August and
bidding up prices rapidly in order to
obtain it. While the European war
continues it will be necessary for the
Brtons to depend for sugar upon
sources of supply on which usually
they do not draw to any extent. 1t is
evident from what has occurred al
ready that they are likely To continue
in sharp competition for Cuban sugar
which ordinarily comes to the Ameri-
can market.
The supply Of Cuban and American
grown sugar i'm sight at the end of
July was just about sufficient to meet
the estimated demands OF American
consumption up to the time when the
crops now growing will become avail
able. Any considerable outside draft
upon this supply, therefore, was bound
to show it's effect at once in advancing
prices.
Fortunately for the United States, I'm
spite Of the curtailment Of production
i'm the cane and beet growing districts
due to the reduction OF the tariff, we
stll have a domestic production of
sugar. lHiluulllb lllit VI piNO iNiNp
and Hawaii which should amount to
over one and half million tons this
year. This will serve as "A great stead
Ter Of the market i'm case Of pro-
tracted war. and will prevent prices
from going as high as they otherwise
would, although the necessity of Sc
curing over two million tons from out
side the United States, i'm addition to
the domestic supply, will leave the
American market under the influence
OF the general advance in world prices.
one OF the arguments that has been
put forward against the destruction of
the American sugar growing industry
through the removal of the import
duty ON sugar is that it would expose
American consumers to all the violent
fluctuations that take place in the
European sugar market as result OF
war, speculation or crop shortages,
The present situation affords "a strik-
ing illustration 81 the truth of this
claim. II the United States were to
double It's sugar production, as might
easily DC done by the systematic de-
vclopmcnt Of its cane and beet grow
ing Industries. the American people
would be entirely Independent Of the
rest OF the world for their sugar sup
ply.

History and Geography of the War
BY the National Geographical Society

COLMAR-A town i'm Alsace. on the
main line from Strassburg to Basel.
Switzerland, about 40 miles from the
former city. II is the seat of govern
ment OF Upper Alsace, and the SUI
preme court Of Alsace-Lorraine sits
there
The population is approximately
$4,000 and the people are employed
mainly in the textile industry. sugar
making, and machinery factories
Around the city there are rich or
chards.
Charles the Fat once held his diet
there. In l476 IL took part in the
struggle against Charles the Bold, was
taken by the Swedes in the Thirty
Years war, and from them taken by
the French three years later. Under
the treaty Of Westphalia the French
released it, but again in 1878 re-occu-
pied il and dismanted its fortifca-
tions, which now serve as pleasant
promenades. II passed with Alsace-
Lorraine To Germany in 1871.
Colmar, also spelled holman, was
captured by the French forces under
Gen. Joffre, during the past week.
FROM LIEGE TO NAMUR-The
valley of the Meuse from Liege To
Namur is very picturesque and at
tractiye and is densely populated even
for Belgium, which is the most dense
ly populated country on earth. There
are many bold cliffs and ruined castles
ii. while innumerable thriv-
ing villages and rich pasture fields vie
with one another in making beautiful
Huy, a fortified place has "a citadel
rising in terrace from the river. and
defensive works hewn out OF the solid
rock. Huy is IA miles from Liege and
"A from Namur.
Here Peter the Hermit was buried
and the ruins Of the abbey he built
upon his return from the crusades are
still pointed out. There are also many
mining and manufacturing towns in
the Mouse Valley, between Liege and
Namur.
The Valley of the Meuse was the OBJ
jective of the main German army from
Cologne which met such fierce and
bloody resistance from the valiant
Belgians.

If the mobilization extends to Tur-
key, Roumania. and so on, the total
will approach 100000 or the equivalent
of per cent of all the Jews i'm Eu-
rope. The highest ranking officer
among the Jews is General Ottoiinghi
Of the Italian army, who has held the
portfolio of minister of war. France
alone has 10 Jewish general officers.
The immediate result of the war Of
the allies and Turkey was that Ser
via, which had Jewish population
numbering 1000, received an increase
of 10000 Jews, who had previously
been Turkish subjects
Prior to the war the Servian Jews
formed an insignificant minority. OF
these Jews 5000 were residents OF Bel
grade, and were in the main prosper
Gus. The 10000 Jews who then came
under Servian rule are mostly resi-
dents of Monastir, Uskub and Itchip.
Seven hundred Servian Jews served
with the colors, the percentage, 10,
being the same as that contributed by
the Jews to the Bulgarian forces. If
the new Servan Jews contribute a
similar quota, there will be 100 Jews
in the army. This number may he
doubled.
The $500 Jews in Greece proper
have become well over $4,000 by the
acquisition OF Janna, Series, Kavala,
Kalaferia and Salonica, which alone
has 10000 Jews, the majority belong
ing to the working classes.
Austria has one of the most consd-
cradle and oldest Jewish populations
in the world, and one with quite
military history. According to tradi-
ton, the Jewish settlement in Prague
dates back Co the fall of the first tenn
pie, and the Alt-Neue synagogue is the
oldest i'm Europe.
The Jewish population of the en-
pire is: Austria, 1,313,6S7, Hungary,
1872 400; Bosnia Herzegovina, 1216g.
making a total of 2,55S,262. The aver
age percentage of Jews to the general
population, about Az per cent, is ex-
cecded only in Russia.
In Austria the Jews are presumed
to supply s per cent of the military
and naval forces, but the actual en-
rollment has been far i'm excess of that
number. Austrian army jests make
use Of the fact that the doctor of al
most every regiment is Jew.
In Russian invasion of Austrian
territory the Jews will he the special
sufferers, because the Jewish COM
munities are huddled on both sides Of
the frontier.
