More sugar is produced in Germany each
year than it can consume. Last years crop of
sugar beets was unusually large, and the pres
ent crop is said to promise well, but the price
of sugar has nevertheless increased more than
rs per cent. In connection with this state of
affairs letter to the Lokal Anzeiger declares
that the country's largest sugar refinery has
this year declared dividend of 20 per cent
against ten last year.

AT THE THROAT OF THE NEurRALs.

King Constantine's complaint that Greece
is being deprived of her sovereignty by the de-
mands of the Allies is not far wrong. The
commercial blockade which Great Britain has
twice applied Isl nothing less than determined
pressure to force Greece into the war as an
ally of the Entente Powers.
It is becoming quite apparent that the lesser
Kingdoms of Europe are to be forced into the
war whether or not they desire to fight
With little reference to the rights of the situa-
ton.
few days ago a casual announcement from
London spoke of the British navy holding
Greek merchantmen to their ports. Soon
after despatch said that the Entente Allies
were planning an economic and commercial
blockade of Greek ports "as sign of the re-
sentiment felt at the failure of Greece to fulfill
its treaty obligations with Serbia
A day or two after that it was officially
denied in London that any commercial
blockade had been applied. Yet, less than a
week later, despatch from London spoke of
the blockade having been put in operation
s.again.'
The probability is that these reports and
denials marked the varying progress of me-
gotiations between Greece and the Allied
diplomats. When Greece seemed on the point
Of accepting, the blockade was relieved. When
Greece drew back, the screws were put on.
If the veil of censorship could be torn aside
II would probably be found that the Entente
Powers are driving Greece into war on their
side by the exercise of their colossal sea-power
on Grecian commerce Whatever the excuse, it
does not appeal to the neutral as aught but an
exhibition of brutality directed by callous
sfate-craft- same sort of brutality as was
in evidence few months ago when Germany
demanded passage across Rumania for MUM
tions for Turkey military necessity" is the
Justification in both cases.
The American may or may not agree with the
reasons which have caused King Constantine
to strive to hold his country neutral He may
or may not agree that the Allies must have
Greek aid to win the new Balkan campaign.
In any event he can hardly be unmoved at the
idea of the Entente Powers gripping Greece by
the throat and demanding aid upon penalty of
starvation.
The German submarine warfare upon mer-
chant vessels, with its decorative embellish-
ments of the Lusitania and Arabic sinkings;
the British commercial blockade of neutral
ports with which the United States were trad
ing-both of these have somewhat prepared
America for violation of international law and
neutral rights. Greece whose commerce is
necessary to her existence, is now feeling the
iron hand of military necessity" The doc
trine is repugnant to the New World. But until
the neutrals combine and stand together, the
Old World dynasties will continue to argue for
the divine right of kings and to hold that 1.-THE
state" must stand though mercy and justice
and conscience, individual rights and truth and
honor, be trampled underfoot.

In spite Of jecrs and jibes, the city detective
squad under Captain McDuffie has gone stead
lily ahead in its pursuit of the Korean gunman,
zee Yo Keuk, and had now captured him.
That caution was as necessary part of the
police program as courage was shown by the
desperate fight the outlaw put up. Any one Of
the bullets he fired might have ended life
worth much more than his own.

HAD A GREAT TIME.

Tuesday evening was Racine
night for the members of the Keno
sha Council of the Knights Of Columbus
and more than fifty members of the
Racine council came to Kenosha. They
brought with them Arthur Hooking and
his famous cabaret entertainers and
put on program which proved to be
one of the most interesting ever seen
in the local hail. More than three
hundred of the members of the Keno
sha council and their wives and sweet
hearts were present at the entertain
ment. The big hall was arranged in
true cabaret style and the entertain
ment wae just about as jolly a one as
could have been arranged. After the
cabaret show was over there was in
formal dancing until early morning.
Later in the month the members of the
Kenosha council will go to Racine to
furnish an entertainment for the Ra-
cine council and they will have to go
long way to equal the entertainment
given by the Racine Knights in
KenoSha.

TELEGRAMs BY PHONE.

The wire companies in Kenosha ere
showing little cooperation for al
though gangs OF men have been at work
for two days telegraph service to Ke-
nosha from other cities has not been
entirely restored and messages are
still being accepted subject to delay.
Many messages taken by the Kenosha
offices are being sent by telephone to
Chicago and from that city sent out by
round about ways to their destinations.
This plan is being worked out to the
satisfaction Of Kenosha business men
who have been anxious to get the mes
sages under way. 1t is expected that
nearly all the trouble will be cleared
away by this evening, but it viii prob
ably be week before telephone or teie-
graph service is extended to some parts
of the state and other states. Madison
was still cut off from Milwaukee this
morning and messages between the two
cities were sent by messengers on badly

chine. He hurried to the telephone and
notified the police of the robbery,

grams to other cities to stop them and

So far as could be learned none of
the three wen was armed, but when
Sehuetz was searched the officers found
a number of cartridges. 1t is thought
possible that he had a revolver and
threw it away.
1t might be said for the honor of the
police department. that it was just
1855 when the theft of the car was re-
ported to them aud it was just fifteen
minutes later that the armed officers
were standing over the ditched car
two miles north of the city and con-
sidering the condition of the roads this
may be regarded as going some.
Both Kimball and Smith have police
records, but this was the first time that
Schuetz had been arrested by the local
police.

JACK LYNCH rs CHAMPION.
Blacksmith Takes Honors as Leading
Checker Player of Kenosha.

Kenosha has checker champion. It
is Jack Lynch, the well known black
smith and he won his spurs by defeat
ing Walter Tanck, the champion Of the
Simmons factory forces in ten game
match played at the rooms of the Ke-
nosha Checker Club in Hotel Vanden-
berg. 1t took more than seven hours
of play to pick the champion. Lynch
won seven out of the ten games played
and took the prize offered and con-
siderable side bet He is now ready
to defend his championship against all
members Of the Kenosha club. With a
real champion on the job it looks as if
checkers is to be revived as a real
sport in Kenosha.

ENDING LONG WALK.
Reg. Won Bruenig Passes Through Keno
sha on Walk from Missoula to Chicago.

1t may be long way to Tipperary,
but Reginald Won Bruenig, who passed
through Kenosha on a long hike on
Tuesday, insists that it is longer way
from Missoula, Montana, to Chicago.
The young German made a wager that
he could make the walk in three months.
The wager was $4,000 according to
statement which he carries. This state
ment is signed by the mayor of Mis-
soula and attested under the city seal.
If the wager is won $1,000 of the
amount is to be contributed to the Red
Cross fund for the relief of Belgium.
The other $500 is to be wedding
present to a young woman in Missoula
who is to become the bride of the
young German on his return from the
successful hike. Won Bruenig has I'M
til the eleventh Of this month to get
into Chicago. He is an interesting
young fellow and carries with him ere
dentials signed by the governors of
every state through which he has pass
ed and from the mayors Of hundreds Of
cities He left Kenosha this morning
on his last lap of the long journey and
he expects to get to Chicago by Sat
urday evening.

Car Loaded With U. s. Mai
Completely Destroyed on
Side Track at Truesdell.
TRAIN MEN HAVE 4 CLOSE CALL

The little village of Truesdell just
west of Kenosha had fire of real
thrills on Saturday night when a mail
car on one of the through trains of the
Chicago and Milwaukee and st. Paul
was completely destroyed together
with its contents. The car had been
part Of a north bound train and the
blaze, which was of unknown origin,
was discovered when the train was a
few miles south of Truesdell near mid
night. The men in charge of the car
attempted to stop the flames and to
save the mail, but the fire spread so
rapidly that it was found impossible to
carry out this plan. It was decided to
cut off the car at Truesdell and the
engine had just spotted it on a side
track and the two men in charge had
crawled from it when there was an ex-
plosion and a second later the entire
car was in flames. The two men IN
charge of the car had particularly
narrow escape from injury.
1t is supposed that the explosion was
caused by the flames reaching some
sort of gas tank which was a part of
the big consignment of parcel post
matter carried in the car. Heroic eff
forts were made to save some of the
mail bags after the explosion, but the
violence of the explosion threw the fire
to every corner of the car. Scores of
bags of north bound mail had been
consigned for Milwaukee.
Hundreds of people from Truesdell
and the surrounding territory went
over to see the burned car on Sunday
and scores of half burned letters and
parcels were found in the ruins.
Postal officials are making an ex-
animation into the cause of the fire.
but nothing has been given out as to
the result of this investigation It is
impossible to estimate the loss from the
fire. The car is said to have carried
a very heavy letter mail and heavy
parcel post mail and it will be months
before claims are made against the gov
eminent for some of the mail destroy
ed. 1t is not thought that there will
be any loss to Kenosha people on ac-
count Of the burning of the car as no
mail is carried north to Kenosha over
the Milwaukee road. It is possible,
however that mail from the west was
included in the losses which might
have been consigned to Kenosha.
The burning of big mail car is al
ways of especial interest on account
of the fact that it offers way for all
sorts of claims against the government
for losses. This is the first time in
twenty years that so large destruc-
ton of mail has occurred at any point
in Kenosha aoa1ntz1

Automobile Dealers to Have
Bulk of Space at Coliseum
Exhibit During March.
FARMERS WANT AUTOMOBILES

The exhibit to be held at the Coli
scum in connection with the farmer S
institute, March IL, IL and 18th, is to
be known as the Kenosha County Grain
and Automobile Show. This was de-
cided on by the committee of the Re
tailer's Association in charge, after a
thorough canvass of the various indus
tries of the city. The original plans
were for Made in Kenosha' ex-
hibit, but it was found that there was
more of demand for real auto show
at this time, show limited to Keno
sha county dealers. A chart of the
Coliseum was made accordingly, and
already ninety per cent of the space
has. been taken. Twelve dealers have
contracted for space, which means an
exhibit of twenty different styles of
cars, and several displays of access
series and motorcycles.
1t is said that there are thousands
of Kenosha county people who have
never attended the shows at either
Chicago or Milwaukee, and although
the space is limited, these people will
have an opportunity of seeing on dis
play the latest models of the best
known cars in the country. Especially
is this true of people throughout the
county, and with the institute and
grain show in the city on the same
dates, ther is no question hut what the
auto show will be well attended.
Besides the liberal prizes donated by
local merchants and manufacturers for
the grain exhibits, it is planned to give
several valuable articles to city people
who attend the show.
Word has been received from Madi-
son that Professor Moore of the State
Agricultural College will do the iudg-
ing of the grains and farm products.
This announcement should please the
farmers, as Professor Moore is well
known and well thought Of throughout
Kenosha county.
The program for the institute proper
is now being made up, and requests
lave been made to the state officials
in charge that it include talks on sew
eral matters that are of special inter
est to Kenosha county farmers at this
time. A complete program, with list
Of prizes for the grain and farm pro-
ducts exhibits, will be announced with
in week or ten days.
Enthusiasm over the coming insti-
tute is running high among the farm
ers, and with the, cooperation of the
booster committee recently appointed
among the farmers, there is no reason
why Kenosha shouldn't see the great
est gathering of county people ever
| brought together in the city.

ANNUAL COST FOR CHILD s44
Only Three Cities in State Show Higher
Amounts Spent for Per Capita Edu-
cation of the Children Oshkosh
Far Below Kenosha in Expense.

Kenosha is ranked fourth among the
leading cities of Wisconsin in the
amount that the city spent for the per
capita education of her children in the
year l913-l9l4, according to figures pre-
pared by one of the book concerns in
terested in the school life of Wiscon-
sin. This report credits Kenosha with
having expended an even forty-four
dollars for the education of each child
of school age in the city and it gives
the city credit for having an enroll
ment of 4,007 during the year for
which the statistics were complied.
This report gives Kenosha credit for
expanding twelve dollars a year more
fo1 the education Of its children than
is expended in Milwaukee and three
dollars more than is expended in Ra-
cine. However, the city of Eau Claire
goes Kenosha seven dollars better in
per capita cost Of education.
The figures prepared by the book
concern may not be. exactly accurate
and in fact the figures for Kenosha do
not coincide with the figures which
have been published in reports of the
schools of the city. One thing is pretty
well shown by the report and that is
the fact that it is cheaper to educate
children where there are large numbers.
Milwaukee with an enrolment of $4,000
children has a much lower per capita
cost than either Kenosha or Racine.
Oshkosh which ranks fourth in pop
ulation in the state gets it's children
educated at the low cost of $3.50
each per year.
Just what brand Of education is given
to the children of Oshkosh is not
shown in the report. Wausau and She
boygan are other cities in which the
cost Of teaching the children is low.
Both of these cities have per capita
cost of less than $500 for each child
per year. There is no doubt but that
this report will arouse some interest in
Kenosha and bring out some more ex-
act figures on the actual cost Of taking
care of the school children.
The figures Of the book concern show
that in the school year of 1913-1914
there were 446,529 children enrolled in
the schools of Wisconsin. There were
1889 teachers, and the total expendi-
ture in the school swas $13,626,682, or
$1,000 per capita.
Milwaukee, naturally, comes first in
total enrolment and expenditures with
Racine second and Superior a close
third in both items.
The cities included in the compila-
tion-those with over $4,000 popula-
tion-with their enrolment total ex-
penditure and cost per capita, are as
follows:
