This production is made 5Ip or cane sugar and beet sugar, the total yield of cane sugar having been 9,545s00O tons, and Of beet sugar s,A8Bs s00p tons in 191S
 Of Europe's total production oE beet sugar, amounting to 78QOsO0o tons, 5, 5,666.OOos tons grew in beldger- ent territory in 1913. Nearly all of this product is now entirely isolated from the outside world, being SFoWn mainly in tsermany, Austrias Hun gary and Russia What Eais means to the world is reveaIed by the fact that more than two-thtrds 6f the worlds sugar is not consumed 4n the country of its origin, this condlnUa arising from the fact that the great sugar using nations are principally outside of the belts of sugar produc- tfon.
 Any scarcity of sugar growing out of the war will ameet the United States more seriously than any other country for the reason that Anaeriean people are per capita the heaviest users of sugar in the world With one-sixteenth of the worlds pppula-- ton. the United States consumes more than one-fifth Tor it's sugar, How rapidly this country is bec0ming a nation of sugar eaters Is reVealea by a reference to the tables of sugar con sum ption Of the past half century Fifty years ago the people of the United States ate elEnIeen pOuLlflS '4+ sugar per capita- Five years later in 1870, they were using thirty three pounds per capita. Tn 1880. the per capita consumption had gone LID t9 forty pounds Twenty-five years ago it had risen to fifty-one pounds. In 19 60 1t had climbed stllTs shigher. to fifty -nfne pounes. By 1910 the meF- eufy in the sugar censumbtion ther- na6meter+ reached eighty To-day the per capita Scons1ifn otEon is upward of eightylfiVe pounds
 It appears that the cane sugar lin
 dustrya sSsilIA suffer very little In the matter Of the total crop yield as e re- suit Of tn e war. On the other hand the beet sugar business, VIII suffer very heavilSs The present RUsstap crop has been almost entirely tied up by inability to get exports out of the country, while next years crop is l threatened with a. shortage resulting from the destruction of the industry in Poland, where So much of Russia's sugar is produced. The reports from France indicate that the rich sugar beet lands of the. northern section
 were harvested last season under the direction of the Germans. and that most of the sugar factories in thls territory have been dismantled to se- cure their copper for the manufac- ture of war munitions.
 | ''Infernation from Germany indt- cates that the empire will plant only
 three-fourths of it's normal area in 1 sugar beets this year. This would re- | suit in cutting down Germany's sugar yield by more than 65O,000 tons. ''Of course the prospective Shortage
 in beet sugar production will be
 somewhat offset by the railing off in
 sugar consunnption incident fo the fi- l nancfaI stringency of fine world, caus- 1 ed by the war Great Britain. an 1 Iaually buying nearly 4,OO0.0OO tons of
 sugar, will probably cut down her
 consumption as much as Germany
 will cut down her production.

Lo que dice Garibaldi

Ell general Ricciotti Garibaldi, en- una
conversation sostenida con un redactor
del ''Messagero', ha dicho que todav1a
haran falta seis 8 siete meses mas para
que el Ejercito aleman sea destru1do.
Despues, y entire otras cosas, Ell citado

Quienquiera que tenga experienced
de la guerra sabe que los soldados no re-
sisten las penalidades y las emociones
de una campana mas ALA de cinco 8 seis
meses
Alemania esta preparando ahora un
nuevo Ejercito que sucumbira dentro
del citado periodo.
Mi padre estaba tan convencido de
este fen6meno, que un d1a, durante la
guerra de 1870, me ordeno que diese 20
dias de icencia un Cuerpo de franco
tiradores, quienes, al regresar, Sc halla-
ron, gracias a este descanso, en- condi-
clones de proseguir la lucha durante
unos meses mas
Dichos francotiradores, aunque vete-
ramos, hallabanse exhaustos todav1a.
Esta es la raz6n por la cual mi pa

creyendo que unos cuantos meses mas

do que hoy los Ej6rcitos de la "Enten-
te" estan aniquilando los alemanes. ,"

!. 5. NAVY IN TEN
 DAYS WAR GAME
Atlantic Fleet Under Fletcher Defending Coast from
 Maine to Florida.

Washington, Oct: 5.--Adn'iral Fletchers Atlantic fleet of battleships was engaged today in defending the coast from Maine to Florida against a hostile force under Vice Admiral Mayo.
 This was the beginning of ten days war game which had been planned on 8 more extensive scale than ever before attempted py the United States navy. Practically every available vessel on the active list was participating.
 The hostile fleet, designated as the "Red," put to sea from Newport, R. l., and the other, the Blue" y-eamed from Hampton Roads yesterday. Ad- niral Fletcher's objection was to pre- vent the Red" fleet from effecting an entrance to any port.
 Tn the defending fleet were eight dreadnoughts and four pr; dread noughts. Admiral Fletcher's flag flew from the Wyoming, and the other ships of his fleet were the New York, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Utah, Michigan, South Carolina, Louisiana, New Hampshire. Rhode Island, New Jersey and Virginia. Vice Admin al Mayo's fleet was composed of swift cruisers and vessels of similar tyre.
 Submarines and mines were to play an important part in the maneuvers, theoretical mine fields having been established at strategic points along the Atlantic coast.
 The progress of the operations will be kept secret because of the desire of the war college to work out scheme of national defense.
