WHAT THE PEOPLE READ.
Some Interesting Data Showing Reln-
 tive Values of News.
Springfield, Republican,

Springfield Republican,
 From time to time an effort is made by students of journalism or of so- ciology to analyze the contents of the current newspapers and to reduce the results of statistical form. There is special interest in a study of this kind made by Thomas R. Garth and pulp lished in School and Society for Jan uary 22, because it is the first statis- tical analysis since the outbreak of the war which has changed most things in the world and could not fail to affect greatly newspapers even in the most remote countries.
 To say that the world war is the greatest news event that a newspa- per ever had to chronicle is an un- derstatement; in all tie history of the world no catastrophe ever had so wide a reverberation as the crash of Au- gust, 1914, aud no news ever came so near to reaching with crushing weight on the newspapers as well as on the minds of their readers. It has we'll night destroyed the old scale of news values, and has made Insignificant many things which a few years ago would have seemed tolerably import tant. 's s
 It is not surprising, therefore, to find that an analysis of the contents

Iment. No Reason For Guns.

' Therefore, there can now be no &~eason for the maintenance of even
 srnall calibre guns on merchant ships
 8inless 1t Is designed to make them
 superior to submarines and thereby #deprive the class of warships of their
 andoubted right with safety to warn #and search such merchantmen. In
 Eeality, therefore, any such armament
 2bf merchant vessel now might be [regarded as offensive armament. X If submarines should be required #to stop and search merchant vessels #before attacking them and to remove #fhe passengers and crews to places 3of safety, 1t Is not fair that the sub- 8marines should be compelled to ex- Epose themselves to destruction at the
 hands of merchantmen.
 Therefore, by a general agreement among the belligerents submarines Sshould be required to adhere strictly Hto the present provisions of interna- 1tsonaI law to stop and search mer- chant ships; to ascertain their bellig- rrent character and to remove tho passengers and crew to safety be- fore sinking them.
 No Armament At All. On the other hand merchant vessels should not be permitted to carry any Armament at all.
 There is grave doubt of the legal right to carry armament on merchant ships, and it Is submitted that all nations should be animated by a de- sire to save the lives of innocent peo- pie and therefore should not insist upon the exercise of any supposed Technical right.
 Is your government willing to make such a declaration conditioned on Q sirnilar declaration by it's enemies? Impressed With Arguments. The United States government has been very much impressed with the arguments that have been advanced Tn certain quarters that any merchant vessel which carries guns in any po- sition capable of use against an aux Hilary cruiser and is seriously con- sidering the announcement of a pur- pose in maritime warfare resulting from the introduction of the subma-
 rine and it's defenseless character.
 The foregoing is substantially the
 note which Secretary Lansing yester- lay announced he had transmitted to
 "A foreign power or powers.' He
 refused to discuss the subject further.

SUGAR BETS HAVE
GONE UP IN PRICES
IN LAND OF KAISER

BERLIN, Feb 10-As increase in the
maximum wholesale price of sugar
beets from 80 pfennigs per hundred
wight to 1876 or even 1.50 is held to be
necessary of production is to be en-
couraged sufficiently to insure norm
al crop in 1916. Representatives of
the sugar industry and of agriculture
in general gathered recently in the
ministry of the interior to discuss the
sugar beet problem. According to the
best obtainable estimates, the 1915
sugar production from the beet crop
will total only 80 million hundred
weight, as against normal production
of from so to So hundred weight.
The reason for the decreased produc-
ton lies primarily in the high price Of
grain. Farmers find it more profitable
to plant their farms to wheat than to
heets because the wheat brings ther1
higher prices. Therefore, of beets are
tc be grown again, the price for them
must be increased. Many of the sugar
representatives pleaded for a maximum
price of 1.60 marks, or even 2 marks
per hundred-weight. It was pointed
out that the cost of labor has greatly
increased and that many other fixed
charges that enter into the production
Of sugar from beets have gone up. The
majority of those present al the meet
Ing however agreed that a maximum
price of 1,50 was sufficient 10 induce in
creased planting of sugar heets, to a
point whereby about 40 million hun
dred-weight would be raised in all
probability. This new price, it is pro-
posed, will become effective September
|, 1916, or before the crop is harvested.
The 40 million hundred weight it is be-
lieved will be amply sufficient for all
Germany's needs.
The proposed increase in the price of
sugar beets will cause a corresponding
increase in the price of raw sugar. It
now is controlled by maximum price
of IL marks per hundred-weight, and
will go up at least Is marks.

1916 POLITICS IS
NOW. UNDER WAY

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 10-With the
meeting of the state democratic exec
utive committee scheduled to take
place in Atlanta one week hence, on
February 10, and with the press com
menting widely on Governor Harris
speech in Macon last Monday night, it
may be said that the 1916 political
season is under way.
The main duty of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee will be to fix the
date of the gubernatorial primary, pre-
the latter part of August, or
early in September.
The committee will also decide on
how the delegates from Georgia to
the national democratic convention at
st. Louis shall be chosen. 1t is ex-
pected that they will probably allow
them to be voted on in the various To-
cal county primaries, which it is ex-
pected may all be held about the same
date, and in time for the national con-
vention.
In the meantime Governor Harris
speech, while not an announcement of
his platform was a statement of his
views regarding the future, and an
account of his stewardship during the
first term. 1t is being talked of more
than anything else politically at this
moment, and has been commented on
afvorably by most of the daily and
weekly press of the state.

ATLANTA HAS BEGUN
ENFORCING LAW

ATLANTA Ga, Feb. 1O.-The recent
arrest of the manager and headwaiter
Of big local hotel and their ar
raignment in police court for serving
wLiskey in the rathskellar, coupled
with numerous other arrests for pro-
hlLition violations and gambling are
taken to indicate the Atlanta police
department is entering upon a cam
palgn for more rigid enforcement, or
rather more active enforcement of
the law.
Only a few days ago five business
men, including one proprietor of a
store on Peachtree street were ar
rested for quiet little poker game
6oing on in the basement of the store,
and numerous other so-called games
where money was being bet have been
pulled recently.
Particularly with regard to prohibit
ton, it looks as if the police are going
to endeavor to enforce rigidly the
present laws as a sort of preparation
for the enforcement of the stricter
laws which will become operative in
May.

dance has struck Atlanta, called the

When danced gracefully it is startl-

than most of the modern freak

,plement of four pages. Thirty COM
plete Interruptions of all communica-
ton between countries are recorded,
while the rest of the list is made up
OF numberless restrictions in cipher
kilograms, admissible language, etc.,
each country having put out mass of
regulations as a measure of military
emergency. For example, the first
page of the list shows the following
complete Interruptions: II communi-
cation between Hungary and Russia,
between Austria and Russia, between
Belgium and Germany, between Ber-
lin, Petragrad and Teheran, bteween
France and Luxembourg between Aus
tria and France, between Austria and
Montenegro, between Hungary and
Serbia; between Bosnia Herzegovina
STA between Constantinople and Odes-
and Serbia, between Turkey and Rus
sa, between Constantinople and Tene-
dos, between Italy and Austria, be-
tween Bulgaria and Serbia, between
Rumania and Serbia, ETC., etc.
This is only one page and each sub
sequent page gives its mass of inter-
ruptions, complete or partial. Austria
has put out great number of restric-
tons, and so has Turkey and Hungary.
But Germany is the one country max
ing no restrictions, apparently seeking
tc increase rather than restrict it's
communications.
War Interruptions of wireless is
separately compiled, and makes four
printed pages. Singularly the restric-
tons of the United States form the
larger part of this, its restrictions be-
ing one-fourth of the whole, and great
err than that of any of the belligerents.
All Pay Their Part.
But while war has thus paralyzed
the cable and telegraphic facilities,
none of the fighting countries has with
drawn from the International Union;
every one of them paid the last regular
assessment; and the Union is continu-
ing its work of carrying on this world
iDter-communication as far as possible
under the limitations imposed by cen
sorship and laws completely stopping
communication.
Some idea of the tremendous growth
Ct the cable and telegraph in peace
times is given in the list of stations
published by the International Union,
compared with their first list in 1868.
The first list gave 1880 as the total
number of telegraph stations through
out the world; the last list gives the
number as $4,000. The Union pre-
pared the first list of cables in 1877,
when there were 400 government-own-
&C cables, 149 private-owned, totalling
11S,700 kilometers in length. The
last cable list shows a four-fold ex-
pansion, viz, 1929 government-owned
cables, 412 private-owned, in all 2,104
cable lines having length of 469,973
kilometres, or about thirteen times
around the world.
Just now it is the wireless which is
making the most rapid strides, and
Mr.. Frey finds it difficult to keep up
with the sweep of this new medium Of
communication to the remotest islands
O fthe seae. Each government gets up
a list of it's own stations, but the In
ion consolidates the lists of all gov
ernments, the American section, for
instance, showing all army, navy and
private wireless stations, all boats
with wireless, including even the
yachts of Vincent Astor and others
