 The semi-finals turned out as ex- |pected. Bartlett defeated Roberts in
 three straight sets, 6-3, GA, 6-4, in a very slow but interesting match. Neither player took any chances and played very careful and consistent game. Bartlett, however, placed his
 drives with more accuracy than did
 his opponent and consequently won ! the match. The match was harder fought than the score indicates. Rob- erts gave the former champion hard battle from the start and staged a
 rally near the end of each match, but only after Bartlett had safe lead.

To the Board of Directors of the

A year ago, under an emergency
budget, your secretary, with Julian
Olsen as physical director and one as
sistant, sourght to maintain the work
of the Y NJ. c. A. in Pensacola at the
lowest possible cost.
The sacrifices which made this
economy possible have been more
than repaid with the splendid spirit of
cooperation shown upon the part of
the boys and young men utilizing the
privileges, together with that of the
men who stand for things worth while
in the city.
The recent campaign, which was
completed in the city for the benefit
of the Y. NJ. c. A, will soon enable
US to pay off outstanding current in.

improvements.
The total amount collected to date
is $2,S71.15 a large part of which
was utilized in offsets upon variou:

FORMOSAN INDUSTRY
STEADILY INCREASING

When Japan took over Formosa in
1895, the island produced $4,000 tons
annually of native sugar. This indus
try has been developed by the Japa-
nesc administration until there are now
produced in Formosa 100000 tons au.
uunlly. Millions of dollars have been
Invested by, the Japanese in sugar
mills j" the island. Exports of JPpa-
resc srtgar dunng the past year were
stimulated by war conditions and
amounted to considerable. Accord
ing to the Manchuria Daily News, con
tracts have now been signed for a.
600 tons for Australia, 5000 tons for
Hongkong, $4,000 tons for Canada, and
25,0O0 tons for India, China, Man.
churia, and Korea, making the aggre
gate $4,000 tons for expectation.
The demand in China amounts to
about 10000 tons, of which il is ex.
pected that japan vii supply about
10000 tons. There are few modern
sugar mills in China, and these are very
small. The Chinese Government has

PRODUCTION
IS DIMINISHING

Consul Thomas w. Voetter at Antofa,
gasta reports as follows concerning the
Chilean nitrate trade:
The reported production of nitrate of
soda in northern Chile during April,
1916, was 5,337 ,592 spanish quintals of
lola pounds each (54l 1881, 500 pounds) ,
while the amount exported TO all coun.
tries was 4,9l3,379 guintals (498, 275,-
$50 pounds. The production for the
same month in 1918 was 1885, lOl
quintals and the exports were 1864, 1856
quintals, and for 1914, 5,589,542 quin-
tails produced and 4,444,37l quintals ex-
ported.
The price of nitrate increased some
what during April, being quoted ut
$3.50 per quintal at the end of the
month, free alongside vessel for the
ordinary 95 per cent nitrate and $l.S6
for the refined, or SO per cent per
cent nitrate The rise is due o q bet.
ter demand from the United States.
Decreased Operations
There is not the same tendency TO
rrsh production that was evident dur.
ing the latter part of 1915. The largest
Chilean company has closed one of the
Ofcinas operated by it, and, a number of
other ofeinas will close as soon as they
finish producing nitrate already con.
tracted by them.
Three ofcinas owned by the Com
pania SalitrPra Alemana and shipping
through the port of Taltal, have been
forced to shut down, as no shipments
could be made by them due to lack of
sacks. The embargo plneed by British
authorities tends to prevent German
nitrate companies from securing the
jute sacks used to ship nitrate.

INTERESTING SUIT.
IN FEDERAL COURT

Suits Of great importance to the
sugar trade have been instituted in the
federal court at Chicago by the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company against
the Boston store, a large department
store in that city, and several retail
grOcers.
The American Sugar Refining Com.
rany allege that the Boston Store has
been deeeiVing its customers by adver-
Using IL. & f. sugar, and substituting
beet sugar in its place. The complaint
charges that profits to a large amount
have been illegally diverted from the
American Company through the meth,
DDS employed by the Boston Store. and
a full accounting is asked for, and the
demand made that the Boston Store re,
fund the profits.
This is the first suit that has ever
been brought to protect the trade mark
of refner, and it will undoubtedly be
of advantage to concern with ma
tionally advertised and well known
brand to prove case Of fraudulent
substitution.
