SAN DIEGO, CAL, Feb. 28.-The tor
pedo boat destroyer Whipple came into
port late Saturday. afternoon with a
Crouch andTa practical joke on her
officers blazoned on her bow.
The Whipple has been on the Coro-
nado target grounds for some time,
and while there the chief petty Off
Ger on board seems to have won the
displeasure of the rest of the crew.
Certainly the food with which the men
we're served was not satisfactory to
them, for when the ship reached port
the most conspicuous thing about her
was a huge sign in box car sized let

The &c. P. o." stands in navy slang
for "chief petty officer"
The officers, all unconscious of the
trick that was being played them, were
furious when they found out that they
had been navigating such practical
joke on themselves over the high seas.
They called the thing gross out

close, 100, 000, 900 pounds Of sugar
The value Of this sugar to the Amer
lean beet sugar producers was in ex.
cess Of 500, 0OC GOO and brought to
the beet farmers of the West who
grew the beets over $40, 200, 900.
Beet sugar made in this campaign
was sold IN practically every state
in the Union during the fall and
winter months, and at wholesale
prices averaging about one-half
cent a pound below the prices asked
by the reiners for sugar made from
imported raws. This price reduction
represented saving to the Ameri-
can consumers Of this sugar amount

The next largest contribution to
last years record output Of home
grown sugar was made by the sugar
planters of Hawaii, with a produc-
ton of 100000, 009 pounds of
sugar, an increase OF over 100000
900 pounds over TIE preceding year.
Porto Rico contributed 716,000, 900

Over eight and one-haf billion
pounds Of sugar were required in
1915 to satisfy the American sweet
tooth.
This brought the nations sugar
bill for the past year up to $500, 00O,-
000, representing an amount larger
by at least hundred million dollars
than the American people ever be-
fore paid.
The cause of the increased size Of
this sugar bill WAS the European
war From the very beginning Of
hostilities the cost Of sugar has risen
to high levels the world over.
Due to war influences, also, the
domestic production. of sugar which
had fallen off af:.r the passage Of
the Underwood tariff law with its
free sugar provision, gained new

about. The fact that sugar grown
from American soil was larger in
quantity than ever before, was Of
great service to the american con-
sumner, because The competition at

product and imported sugar sold by
the refners, resulted in a saving in

Associated Press BY Federal wirelessl

LONDON. Eng, Feb. 2S.-Striking a
floating mine yesterday afternoon
within sight of the waterfront houses
Of Dover, the big p. & o. steamer Ma
Lola sank 20 minutes later, carrying
down about 80 OF her white passengers
and III OF her Lascar crew. The
small freight carrying steamer EN-
press of Fort William also was mined
and sank, after heroic attempt TO
pick up from the water the struggling
survivors OF the Maloja. One Of her
crew was killed. The rest escaped
serious injury.
The Maloja was barely two miles
off Dover, bound for Bombay, when
tie mine struck her well aft OF the
midship line, blowing great hole in
her quarter.
From shore, where the explosion Of
the mine was distinctly heard, boats
put out at once TO the sinking ship
and arrived In time to be Of great
service In picking up survivors from
the water. The shock Of the explo-
sion was felt In the waterfront houses
and many windows we're broken by the
conclusion.
Empress Goes Down Quickly.
The Empress of Fort William. which

far from the Maloja, Immediately
swung over her wheel and started for
the disabled steamer. She was not
far from where the liner was rocking
TO and fro In the water, settling swift
ly, when another mine struck her,
close to the bow. The force of this
second explosion seemed to lift her
bow clear of the water and she began
to settle even faster than the Maloja-
In the meantime on board the p. and
o. boat the passengers and crew were
acting splendidly. Women and chill.
dren were hurried to the boats by the
officers and male passengers in an eff
fort to get them all off safe before the
ship sank. This. however, proved i'm
possible and when the ship went down
she carried with her number OF pas
sengers.
Prominent Brltons Aboard.
Among the passengers on the liner
were many prominent British officials
bound FOR tneir posts in India and
EeSDt. One Of the most prominent
was Judge Ol0field Of the Indian High
Court, who had been In England on a
furlough.
It is known, however. that at mid
night last night the bodies of Is men,
IL women and four children had been
brought on shore. Eleven OF the men
we're Lascars, who made up the larger
part OF the crew.
The market place In Dover was con-
yerted at once into rnorgne. Several
of the injured passengers died in the
rescue boats on their way to the
shore.

ether sea victim of Sunday. She was
abandoned at sea By her crew when
she caught fire. All hands were saved.
