The Price of Sugar
(From the Washington Post)

The sugar question is likely to at
tract the attention Of Congress in
more ways than one. Remarkable
facts are coming to light which have
a bearing upon the revenue, the gov
ernment's policy as to protection and
the cost of living.
The price of sugar is jumping every
day, in spite of the promise held out
in Congress that the income tax
would force the rich to shoulder the
burden of taxes and enable the house
keeper to buy her sugar cheaper.
Probably the price is increased at
home because of the fact that huge
quantities. of sugar are being export
ed to Europe About half Of the

Germany, northern France and Rus

ing the rest of the world to make up
the deficiency.
During the fiscal year 1915 ended
June 30 519,S06,23 pounds of sugar
were exported from the United States
to Europe. During the previous year
only 100000 pounds we're export
ed
Soon after the outbreak Of the war
assurance was given by the sugar
trust that it had adopted a policy
of not selling sugar for export. The
promise evidently was made to be
broken. The demands from abroad at
war prices evidently proved too much

Nothing Is more inherently improb-'
able than the assumption that a big

dreds OF non-combatants and q valu-,

and desperate risk OF trying to run
down a submarine attacking another
craft some miles away Yet the new
German note transmits an explana-
ton from the submarine commander
who sank the Arabic which imputes
suspiciously aggressive maneuvers to-
the liner and pictures her as the at
tacker instead Of the attacked
The extravaganza of this excuse
need not be insisted upon. The point
is that if every submarine comman-
der is allowed to interpret for HIM
self the conditions under which a.
liner is to be torpedoed without
warning and without safety of the
lives of non-combatants," Count Won
Bernstorff's communication to Sec-f

Thus, while consumers pay more

This raw sugar should be kept in
the United States for home consump-

to keep prices down. But the sugar
producers, not content with roaping

the abnormal demand there as a lever
for boosting prices at home.

The military experts in the west
are all at sea about the deposition of
the Grand Duke Nicholas from chief
command Of the Russian armies and
his transfer to the Caucasus. To
them it seems a sinister stroke of
fate that the man who displayed such
signal ability in the Galician cam
paign that resulted in the taking of
Lemberg and Przemysl and who
saved the Russian forces from cap
ture by a mastery retreat from War
saw, should be shelved and practical
ly exiled to the remote Caucasus.
In Russia the true reason for the
Grand Dukes retirement from the
desperate campaign in the Baltic
province and west Russia must be
known in court circles. The facts
cannot long be concealed. In the first
year of the war fame was busy with
his name He was regarded as the
genius of Russian strategy, as a stern
disciplinarian and as a great organ
izer. With incompetence he had no
patience, and cowardice he would not
tolerate in any officer high or low
Stories we're told of his drastic meas
ures in dealing with subordinates who
did not please him. He hrooked no
interference with his plans-at least
such was the report. and it was not
denied
As commander Of the Russian arm
les the Grand Duke Nicholas was
popular with the rank and file and a
hero to the common people. But a
man who expected all his officers TO
work as hard as he did and who was
constantly wedding out the undesir-
ables must have made enemies. some
of whom no doubt were influential.
II may have been the case that the
time came when the Gar who has

never been noted for firmness had IL
choose between retaining the Grand
Duke in authority in the field or part
ing with generals OF acknowledged
merit who could not get on with their
commander. II may be assumed that
intrigue was active in his removal.
Certainly so patriotic a man as the
Grand Duke would not quit in the
face of the enemy or forfeit an op-
portunity to win the greatest distinc-
tion in the field by driving him from
the national territory.
In bidding farewell to the armies
Of the west the Grand Duke referred
to the emperor as ryour august su-
preme chief" Whether he takes the
field at the head of his troops or not,
the Emperor of All the Russias is
titular commander in chief Moreover,
he always shows himself at the front
Alexander II was often TO be found
there in the Russo Turkish war of
1S77-7S, and it may be added that the
Czarevitch of that time (afterward
Alexander 1In commanded three
army corps with marked ability. But
Alexander II had little or nothing to
do with the conduct of the campaign.
He left the strategy and the actual
fighting to officers like Gurko. Krud-
erer, Skobolev, Schilder-Schuldne
and Prince Imeretinski. while Todle-
ben, defender Of Sebastopol. supplied
the engineering skill at Plevna and
elsewhere
So in the present grave emergency,
when 1t seems to /be a question
whether the Russians can hold their
lines and save Riga. the Czar, who
has unaccountably displaced the
Grand Duke Nicohlas, will be only
titular commander himself, and must
put his faith in the skill and devotion
of other nrnfessinnal soldiers
