PROPOSALS FOR A CENTRAL
 EUROPEAN CUSTOMS UNION
Is Opposed by the Budapest Chamber
 of Commerce.

Budapest, Hungary, April 19.-The Budapest Chamber of Commerce has passed a resolution expressing it's op- position to the proposals for Central
 ugopean Customs Union, embracing Germany, Austria Hungary and possl- bly Bulgaria.
 The resolution was passed at a spe- cial meeting attended by representa- tiVeS of the ministry of agriculture and commerce. by men prominent in in- dustry and commerce, managers of all the big banks, and mine owners. The chief argument against the proposed customs union was that it would be mainly to the advantage of Germany and Austria, and would merely hamper the development of Hungary.
 Dr. Paul SZenda, delegate represent Ing the Union of Hungarian Traders and Manufacturers, was the principal speaker. He opposed the customs union, declaring: Surely hatred will not always be dominant in Europe and you will only be prolonging the era of hatred by establishing a union which will antagonize the other group of powers, with the result that Aus tria- Hungary will soon find herself isolated in spite of the unity thus es- tabliShed.

INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION
 OF SUGAR IN ENGLAND
Caused by "Paee" at Which the coun-
 try is living.

London, April 19.-The increase in the consumption of sugar in England since the war points to an equivalent increase in the pace at which the country is living and working, says the medical expert of the London Times. He explains:
 From the point of view of the phy- siologist, one of the most striking re- ports issued recently was that dealing with sugar consumption during the first year of the war.
 People who failed to grasp the sig nificance of the figures spoke in q pained way about a lack of national conscience and efforts were made to preach economy. Nobody pointed out that the high consumption of sugar was due directly to the fact that war had whipped up the activities of every man, woman and child in the country so that even at a much higher price sugar was worth the money.
 The simple truth that one may fn- fer from the demand from sugar is that the whole rate of life has been quickened in this country. Sugar Is the fuel of activity and in activity more and more sugar is burned Tn England, and indeed all over Europe men are now living at a greater rate than in times of peace. Civilization if you will, is going the pace: and for the pace sugar is essential no matter what the price may be"

 preme Command on the Border-No Decision as to Withdrawal of Troops Expected for a Week or Ten Days.

Washington. April 1e.-No decision as to withdrawal of American troops from Mexico is expected for a week or ten days unless there are new out breaks against the forces in Mexico to compel immediate action. This was made clear today when Secretary Ba- ker dispatched Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff to the border as his personal representative to make complete report on the military prob lems confronting General Funston.
 The administrations final action on General Carranza's suggestion that the expedition he recalled probably will DC based largely on what is shown in this report General Scott, who left Wash inSton tonight. hardly will be able to make the round trip and complete his observations in less than ten days.

 In the meantime state department officials will take up consideration O! what reply they shall make to tht Carranza note urging the withdrawal of the American forces.

Hastings -on-Hudson, N. Y, April 19. -Four companies of the New York National Guard arrived here tonight after a riot of striking employees of the National Conduit and Cable company had extended beyond control of the civil authorities.
 Although reports were circulated that the strikers had accumulated great quantities of stones and bottles with which to resist interference by the militia, there was no demonstra- tion when the troops aIighted from a special train and marched into the plant of the company.
 Several hundred men affected by the strike lined the railroad tracks, but aside from a few muttered impreca- tions and some shouting by small boys. there was no disturbance.
 A machine gun which had been used by the company for testing munitions in filling large contracts it has with the entente allies, was moved into place for an emergency.

DUTCH GOVERNMENT PROHIBITS
 THE EXPORT OF SHIPS
Bill Passed in Parliament With Nc Se-
 rious Opposition.

The Hague. Netherlands. April 1s.- A bill to prohibit the export of ships also their chartering except by gov ernment consent-has just passed both chambers of the Dutch parliament. where it met with no serious opposi- ton.
 Hollands supply of essential neces- sites from overseas has been endan- gered, for in present circumstances she is forced to depend practically en- tirely on her own merchant fleet. and Dutch shipowners have been tempted by fancy prices and safer waters else where to charter their boats for en- tirely foreign services. as. for instance, in the traffic New York-Marseilles. America and North-South America Even of the Dutch ships which do continue to trade the home ports goodly proportion are engaged in sup plying Belgium, through the commis- sion for relief in Belgium Moreover. the longer average voyages owing 10 the closing of the Baltic and Black Seas. anr the increased length of the voyage 10 the Far East round the Cape of Good Hope. have all contrib uted to decrease shipping room
 On top of all this comes the sale of and more than trebIed prices. Ac- cording to figures presented to the chamber by the minister in charge of the bill, the Netherlands merchant fleet decreased between Aug 24. 1915. and February 10. 1916. by 3I ships of over 400 tons, and totailing 104.0 900 tons. and increased by only l2 ships Of 3s.O00 tons. thus experiencing a de- cline on balance of 19 ships and e6- 900 tons in less than six months. When to these figures are added the numer- ous losses by mine and torpedo in the short intervening period it will be easily seen how serious the position was becoming.
 Henceforth no permission for the sale of ships will be granted unless it Is shown that the vessel in question cannot be profitably used and that a new ship for replacement is ready. Some demur was made in parliament to the inclusion of ships building in the busy Dutch yards under the bill. as endanEering the shipbuilding in dustry. which is just now so prosper ous. The minister stuck to his point however. Permission to export such new ships will only be given where it Is shown that the vessel was destined for abroad from the very commence ment of its construction and where the Dutch merchantile fleet Is not in | definite need of a ship of this sort
