For years the demands upon
American railroads by labor and a
hostile public have steadily increased,
while unfortunately State and Fed
eral commissions imposed restraints
and burdens which impaired their
profits until resources and credit were
so crippled as 10 make IL impossible
for the transportation lines to secure
the capital required to provide new
mileage or improvements. In 1909
the railroad capital applications were
estimated at a little over sSO0,000.0oO
stocks and 100000. 600 bonds In
1918 such applications had sunk to
S22, 000. 900 stocks. but risen to $751;
600, 900 bonds.
"This tendency toward shrlnkage
In stock issues and expansion in bond
and note issues has been going on

ArgesuI's Capture
CIinches Campaign
(German omcial)

BERLIN, Germany, Dec. 6.-Arge-
sui, where the battle Of December 3
between the Central Powers and the
Russo-Rumanians took place, is a
stream of varying breadth which runs
from the. neighborhood of Piesti to
southwest of Titu, between 200 and
300 meters. The river here is 20
meters deep. At various places there
are fords. Further downward the bed
narrows and a torrent like a river
flows. Here everywhere there are
absolute impediments to bridges less
than 300 meters long. If the Teutons
had not succeeded in winning the bat
tie Of Argesul and thus securing a
way where fords are possible. there
would have been long delay in con-
quering the big bridges further down
and strong sector would have been
defended by the enemy.

SUGAR EXPERTS
Find WASTE IN
MEPR0CESSES
Eield and Mil Discussions ID
PIahterS Session Timely
and Valuable

Papers and discussion on the cut
ting and transportation of cane from
the fields to the mills; a synopsis of
the mill data for 1915; and the best
methods of manufacturing the sugar
and the utilization of its by-products,
with special reference to the shredder
for the preparation of cane before 1t
is run through the mill; and the pos
sibility Of obtaining alcohol from mo-
lasses, we're the principal points TAX
en- up and discussed by the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association at the
second session Of Its 18th annual meet
ing today.
The session this afternoon was short
as many memrers wished to attend
the funeral of James l.. Mclean.
Cutting, Loading and General
Transportation" by John Hind, was
the first report read and this dwelt
principally with the caterpiller tract
or as a method of hauling she cane
either to the mill or to { flumes.
Manager ,Moir of Onomea d that
he uses sleds for the long els to
the fumes and where the hi .~sides
are excessively steep, cables run by
gasoline we're employed. The engines
are on carts and moved about as de.
sired.
James Glib of Honolulu plantation
said that portable tracks are used sat
isfactorily. From the high lands
fumes carry the cane to the cars but
as water had to be pumped up, it was
very expensive.
The best material for fumes was
next discussed and Geo. Glib in
formed the members that cedar wood
seemed better than any other as its
presents a slippery surface. The
question of whether iron fumes, which
are used on some plantations, are the
most durable was touched upon, but
the opinion seemed divided.
That caterpiller tractors have a
great future for hauling cane, particu-
larly over rough, slippery and muddy
country, is the opinion of F. A. Alex
ander of McBryde, where they are used
to haul the homesteader's cane.
The report by r. S. Norris Of the
experiment station on Mill Data for
1916" is, filled with statistical tables
and much valuable knowledge. Nor.
ris opens his report by saying that the
cane this year was of the poorest
quality in sug3r content and purity
that has been ground during the past
nine years, which he thinks is due TO
the adverse condition of the weather.
The extraction. however, he says, was
in about the same proportion as for the
previous season.
Norris also Gays that the average
moisture of the bagasse has decreased
this year and lays it to better work of
the mills This, it is said, tends to
make better fuel
Warning to Sugar Boilers
A warning to the sugar boilers is
sounded by Norris in regard to de-
sire to increase the size of the erys-
tails. He says:
There may be some tendency dur.
ing the coming season, in the great
effort that will be put forth to make
larger grain in the commercial sug-
ar, not to bring the syrup to as high
a density as heretofore 1t would be
a mistake, however, to retrogress in
one part of the manufacturing process
