ports from all along the Russian cen

indicate that the Germans are pre-.
pairing for general retirement to the
Bug river line, which will withdraw
their front in some sections for SO
miles.
The activities Of the Russians have
made 1t practically impossible for the
Germans to prepare adequate winter
positions east of Brest- Litousk, thus
forcing them to prepare their winter
line far in the rear. 1t is believed
that they have, concentrated work
along the Bug River line and have
there what are considered
earthworks.
Along this line they have estab-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 2S.-
President Wilson will not make a
promise that the retention Of the exist
ing duty on refined sugar shall be per-
manent. His present plan is to have
it continued only until normal condi-
tons are restored. following the ter
mination of the European war, and
sufficient revenues are derived from
other sources to sustain the govern
ment. This fact developed when the
cane growers of Louisiana sought to
secure a permanent tariff of one cent
per pound on sugar in order that they
might figure ahead and resume their
business, interrupted by the Simmons.
Underwood act Col. Robert Ewing,
Democratic national committeeman
rogated the president on this subject.
He said the continuance of the tax
was well received in his state, but be-
cause of uncertainty as to duration
much Irritation had resulted.
The cane growers have been stead.
ly devoting their plantations to other
crops and disposing of their machinery
and mills to Cuba and the Central
American republics. They feel that
it is useless to restore their plants il
the following prosperity must be
merely temporary. For that reason
they desired a definite indication that
the retention of the tax would be as.
sured, and not limited to the restora.
ton of normal conditions. Their idea
is that the present plan would only
mean future rum for them. For that
reason it is unlikely there will be any
material revival of the sugar industry
in the state of Louisiana.
There are few members Of Con.
gress, or politicians generally, who
seriously believe that the duty will be
from sugar for many years.
It is realized that the added expendi-
lures made necessary by increasing
the army and navy will require every
penny that can be raised by taxation
for an indefinite period. The time Is
not now in sight when the $4,000, 900
brought in by sugar can be lightly
Tossed aside

Almost too brilliant to behold
Has lower edge of palest green
A fancied pathway to the unseen.
A lower sky Of somber hue,
Another night will meet the view,
With all the above of lakes a chain,

Shuts all these gIories from our sight.

Where'er you go, wherever land,
You'll ne'er forget Waikiki's strand.
