WEATHER CHECKING PROGRESS
Must Also Remove Wounded Before
Going to Assistance of
Garrison.

London. Jan. 1.-THE British force
in Mesopotamia under General Ayh
mer proceeding up the Tigris to the
relief of Kut-el-Amara, is still halted
at Sheikh Saad, some twenty miles
from Kut-el-Amara, according to the
latest adyices received by the govern
ment; but the halt is due to weather
conditions and the necessity OF Temoy
ing the wounded by river.
This announcement was made in
the House of Commons this afternoon
by j. Austin Chamberlain, Secretary
for India.
Military observers here are of the
opinion that the position of the re
lieying force is by no means salts
factory. for it finds in front OF it a
Turkish army superior in numbers.
Therefore, it is evident that a sue
cessful junction OF the two British
forces, although they are only twenty
miles apart, may prove a difficult mat
ter.

SUGAR FAMINE
Shortage In Crop May Seriously Al
feet Some Countries.

The Hague, Jan. l1.-Europe needs
in the coming year 100000 tons o
sugar from overseas. according to an
address delivered before the Indian
society of The Hague by DR.. II. c.
Prinson Geerlings. The speaker ex
planned in detail the effect of the
war on the sugar position in the dill
ferent European countries, pointing
out that France had been the chic
sufferer, since almost the whole O.,
the sugar-producing parts of tha
country are in the hands of the Ger
mans; the consequence of which wa
that large shipments had to be made
from the United States and Cuba. II
both Germany and Austria the pro
duction in the past year had beer
normal. In peace times, Germany ex
ported about 100000 tons annually
but she now uses up all her surplus
production at home. largely as foo(
for cattle and as raw material ior the
extraction of yeast and spirits. More
over. the Belgian yield had beer
seized for the use OF the German ar
mics and for the civilian population
Of the occupied parts of northern
France.
On the whole, during the past year
sugar prices in the producing coun
tries of Europe have not advanced
materially, except in the cases o
France and of Great Britain, whose
government Immediately after Ger
many had prohibited the expectation
of sugar, had bought 100000 tons
the commodity at high prices.
AS regards the coming year, the
sugar production in France, the
speaker said, is estimated at onl!
10000 tons, or less than one-quartel
of the normal consumption, German!
even with the use of the Belgian crop
cannot produce more than barely suf
flcient to cover her peoples needs
hence the persistent inquiries for cat
tie fodder containing sugar, German
can, however, also draw upon Austri;
whose production is estimated at
million tons, of which nothing is avail
able for export, except, perhaps, tt
Germany. Russia will have a poo
crop and will therefore have also notl
ing for expectation.
On balance, Great Britain alone vii
need to import 100000 tons, ant
France over 100000 tons. All far cas-
tern countries show steadily in
creasing sugar consumption. and &c
cording to DR.. Geerlings, there vii
be bare hall,million tons available
for export from all countries east
Suez. Europe, therefore, has to lool
for her main supplies to the United
States, Cuba and the AntItfes bu
even taking into account the export
able surplus from both North ant
South America, there will still be
deficit of roughly 100000 tons. Shout
the war drag on for a long time, thu
European sugar production is certai'
10 be reduced considerably, to the
great benefit of the cane sugar pro
ducing countries overseas

WAY FOR FUSION

National Committee Holds Siren.
uouS Session in Chicago
PRINCIPLES OF 1912 UPHELD
Fusion Idea Adopted After Vigorous
Opposition by RADICAL Party
Leaders.

Chicago, Jan. Illusion with the
Republicans under certain circum-
stances in the Presidential election
next fall is advocated by the Progress
sive National Committee, which today
held a strenuous session in this city
and wound up its deliberations with
the adoption of 1,200-word pronun.
ciamento which differs in its essent-
ials cnly slightly from the 1912 plat
form of the organization. The way.
moreover, was paved for the possible
nomination of joint candidate for
President other than Theodore Roose-
velt.
The committee voted to hold the
Progressive National Convention in
Chicago on June at the same time
as the Republican Convention. Can
didates did not figure in the discus
sicns of the committee.
Every State in the Union but one
was represented at the meeting,
which was held in the Florentine
Room of the Congress Hotel. the
room in which Colonel Roosevelt
made daily speeches TO his followers
at the time OF the 1912 Republican
Convention. Mr.. Perkins presided.
Some of the more radical Progress.
sives opposed fusion with the Repub-
lcans on any terms. The arguments
OF the leaders, however, carried the
day, and when the declaration Of prin-
ciples was put to vote the only dis
senting vote was that of Austin E.
Griffiths of the State of Washington.
Mr.. Griffiths later swung into line,
and made a motion by which the &C.

Southington, Conn, Jan. 10-In a
statement issued here the directors OF

nounced that the examination OF the
bank by federal examiners revealed
shortage OF $37,5OO in the accounts
OF Cashier Louis X. Curtiss, who
committed suicide while the federal
examiners were making their investi-
cation OF the banks affairs.
How the shortage occurred or how
Curtiss disposed Of the funds. the di-
rectors refused to divulge They an
nCunoed, however, that the bank is

Curtiss was one of the heaviest
stockholders Of the institution and
had been cashier since 1892. To all
outward appearance neither Curtiss
nor Ills family have benefited by the
