SUGAR FOR SOLDIERS.

The warning nations are finding
that the TROOPS crave sweets more
than anything else; that the soldiers
who are given plenty of sugar or can
dy can stand greater hardships than
those who are deprived OF anything
sweet So the rations of candy or
sugar has come to be considered as
much a necessity as the ration OF
bread or meat ... :. =. IL,
Some years ago England began is
suing ration of sweet chocolate to
the soldiers every few days, and the
fact caused good deal of facetious
comment The photographers made
fun OF the soldiers going into battle
with box of,chocolate drops, and the
critics seemed 70 think that the COIN
try was degenerating into a nation
OF spoiled children. who have to have
candy before they would attend to
duty. But the scientists knew, and
the authorities trusted the scientists
rather than th4 parasraphers.
The Fact that men who do the very
hardest kind of work crave sweets
ought to have. been sufficient, without
the word or the scientists, bat It was
not. 1t took actual experience and
the closest observations to make the
world understand what the scientists
have known all along. Today, when
ever worn and weary soldier can
get hold of a piece of candy he be-
comes refreshed at once, and the CON-
manders are so well aware of the fact
that candy is as much part OF the
commlssary equipment as is any other
kind of food.--Columbus Dispatch.

FORMER DEMANDS
Insists That China Settle Differ"
ences at Once; Means ia.
panese Dominance.

Washington, Jan. 2G.-AWaiting
confirmation from official sources as
"a necessary preliminary to any action
by the United States, state depart
lnent officials were deeply interested
in the report today from London that
the Japanese government has revived
all Of the demands upon China, in
cluded in the famous Group 5" of the
list of proposals submitted to the Pc
kin government more than a year ago
for a permanent settlement Of out
standing issues between Japan and
China.
There is a conviction in official
circles here that any action at this
time likely to have results toward
warding off the new Japanese de-
mands must be taken by the United
States practically alone. With e"sry
evidence of sympathetic interest by
the European entente allies in the at
titude of opposition, assumed when
the proposals on the Group 5" origi-
nally were submitted, it is believed
that none Of these powers will be in.
clined to take issue with Japan, at a
moment when they are leaning heav'
lily upon their Oriental ally, not only
for munitions of war, but for military
and naval protection in the Orient.
The very close study that has been
made in Washington of the proposals
embodied in Group 5" has only con
firmed officials in their original belief
that if accepted in full by China
without protest from other nations,
they would lead not only to material
and industrial, but even political
domination Of China by Japan.
While not prepared to make an is
sue on that point, however, the state
department is convinced that the 9th
er provisions of "Group 5" finally
would close to American commerce
and enterprise the open door in
China.

AUSTRIA PROTESTS
AGAINST CLEARANCE
Of ARMED BOATS

Washington, Jan. 26.-Arrival at
New York today Of the Italian steam
er America, armed like the liner Yer
ona, already at the same port, with
two guns mounted aft, may hasten
the decision of the United States gov
ernment on the question Of whether
there shall be change in policy re-
garding the clearance from American
ports of merchant vessels armed for
defensive purpose.
Before news of the Americas ap-
pearance reached here in press dis
patches, the Austrian charge had
called at the state department to ask
what the United States intended to
do in the case of the Verona. A SIM
liar inquiry was made by the charge
recently before the Italian steamship
Guiesspe Verdi sailed from New York
carrying guns mounted.
The Verdi was cleared after the
Italian government had given assur-
ances that her arms would be used
for defense only.
There have been intimation that
Austria is prepararing to inform the
United States that enemy merchant
men mounting guns for any purpose
would be considered armed and
would be subject to an attack with
out warning.

II have had in this change of mind
no thought whatever of change of

to do with theories or policy. They
would deal only with facts and the
facts which they would seek ought
to be the actual facts Of industry and
of conditions of economic exchange
prevailing in the world, so that legis-
lation of every kind that touched
these matters might be guided by the
circumstances disclosed in it's in
