BLOW AT PEACE TALK.
Allies Contract for Continuous De
iYery5for Two Years.

New York, Dec. 2e.-Large addis
tional war orders - most OF them
placed with an injunction Of secrecy
have been received in the past month
or six weeks BY those American cor
porations whose operations are all
but indispensable to the allies. Some
Of these companies have sold their
entire output Of munitions five and
six years ahead. Many have contract
ed for continuous delivery for two
years.
These new and largely increased
orders have impressed officers of big
munition companies as of the high
est significance, for the reason that
at about the time the negotiations
for the $500,000,OOo Anglo-French
loan were in their final stages, there
was lull in the placing of orders,
and this inactivity continued for some
time after conclusion of the negotia-
tons.
An idea of the amount Of these new
war orders may be derived from the
fact that one company has secured
nm aggregate of $200,OO0,0O0 in new
contracts in the lao few months.

America, the biggest selling corn

INDIA AND WAR
Millions lin Former Country Waiting
to Serve-Keyn0te % India
Congress

Bombay, Dec 29--Ten thousand de-
legates representing all communities,
were present yesterday at the open
ing Of the annual India National Con-
gress, which was notable for the To-
yal and patriotic utterances OF the
speakers.
"Millions in India are waiting to
serve" was the keynote Of the open
ing speeches. In the presidential ad-
dress, Sir Satyendra Sinha said the
supreme feeling in India was lad
miration for the self-imposed burden
England was hearing in the struggle
for liberty and freedom and pride
that India had proved herself not q
whit behind the rest Of the empire
in the assistance given the mother
country"
Continuing, Sir Satyendra express
sed the hope that "the spontaneous
outburst Of loyalty had dispclled for
ever all distrust and suspicion be-
TWEEN the Indians and their rulers"
The speaker admitted that the time
had not arrived for self-government
in India, but he urged the British
government to approve ungrudginly
the goal to which India aspired and
also to permit the recruiting Of q
strong national Indian army.

Ogden Farmer Grows Cane.

K. +. Conrad, of Ogden, is one
of the York county farmers who
believe it practicable to grow
with profit other crops than cot
ton. His experience has i'm
pressed him with the possibility
of developing a modest business
in the production for home mar
kets of sorghum syrup. Last fall
he made a fine grade of table
syrup on his farm. Only the US
ual sorghum planted in the up
country principally for rough
ness" or forage was used, but
the color and flavor of the syrup
compared well with that made in
South Georgia from ribbon cane.
Mr.. Conrad says an acre of sor-
ghum should yield 200 gallons of
syrup, which ought to be readily
salable at so cents the gallon.
But it is feasible also, he thinks,
to grow ribbon cane in the Pied
mont. He says he has seen 400
gallons of syrup produced in his
country from an acre of ribbon
cane, The State.
