GERMANY RESERVES
SUGAR FOR FOOD
To Feed It To Cattle Or Use For
DiStilIing Is Now
'verboten'

ZURICH, Switzerland, April A.
Correspondence of The Associated
ress)-From oil parts of Germany are
coming reports Of the scarcity Of sugar
The war has shown how indispensable
foodstpf sugar is--two grammes are
said by Chemists to be equal in nour,
ihment to one gramme of butter. And
since butter and margarine, and lard,
and all kinds Of fats, are now only pro,
durable in very small quantities, at
very high prices, the importance Of
sugar has become much greater than
ever before. ....S,....
Before the war Germany exported
more sugar than any other European
country. After providing for the dom.
este consumption of 2,400,000 tons,
another l 100000 tons were exported.
Thought War Soon Over
When the war broke out the German
sugar interests feared they would be
swamped with their stocks, and implor-
ed the government to permit them to
continue to export il as before, assert,
ing that the next harvest added to the
stocks on hand would suffice for all
human needs for two years. The gov
eminent consented and the consequence
was that immense quantities of sugar
were sent through Holland and reached
the English market. This permission
to export was soon withdrawn but it
proved how the government had under
estimated the length Of the war.
At first sugar prices rose scarcely at
all; it was only when butter and fats
began to grow scarce that German
housewives were urged to substitute
sugar for them in the form of jams
Then came the idea to use sugar for
fodder purposes, and nearly a million
tons were consumed in this way last
year. Large quantities also were
taken for making compressed yeast
for the bakeries and in the manufac-
ture of spirits instead of the usual
grain and potatoes.
Cant Sweeten Cattle
The area Of sugar beet cultivated de-
creased also owing to the higher rents
demanded for land and the production
has decreased because of the scarcity
of labor and of artificial manures.
Taken at the best the beetroot crop Of
1915 brought only some 100000 tons
against 5,500,000 tons in normal times.
The government has now forbidden
the use of sugar for cattle feeding, and
also in breweries, and further cut
down the supply for chocolate and can
dy manufacturers by one half. But
still in March, before the first half of
the sugar harvest year is over, there is
an alarming scarcity. There is little
doubt that large quantities are being
deliberately held back for higher
prices, despite all the threats of the au-
thorities against persons acting in this
manner.

IRISH EDITORS THREATEN

NEW YORK, May 3.-Editor Ford
of the fish world HSPmsnting on the
execution Of the'Irish rebel leaders,
said today; -
1.-THE shooting will only serve to
make war between Ireland and Eng
land more bitter. Patrick Pearse, like
George Washington, represented the
people in trying to throw off the yoke
Of England. LPearse was prisoner Of
war and should have been treated as
such. The shooting will undoubtedly
cause reprisals''
Editor Dewey of the Gaelic American
was mentioned today in the Superseding
indictments returned in the alleged
German plot to destroy the Welland
Canal. He is alleged to have partici-
pated in the activities of plotters.

Addition Has Not Been Built

The addition. to the colored
school which it was hoped would
be built~during the present vaca-
tion period, has failed to material
ize, owing to the inability of the
local board to raise a like sum to
that offered by the County School
Commission. Superintendent E.
L. Cross when speaking of the
district today pronounced the
school the best in his county, a
fact due in large measure to the

Hughes On The Strike

Charles E. Hughes, in his latest
succch expresses himself on the
strike as follows:
Il will say this further, that |
believe there is no grievance with
respect to Labor that cannot be
settled by a fair, candid examina-
ton cf the facts. We have III the
past had to deal frequently with
the opposition of employers to the
principle of arbitration. Some
times they have refused to surren-
der it to anybody in the country.
| believe that anything that is
right in this country can be settled
r5rt.. What has our great Re
publican Government done? What
are cur free institutions? We have
come down the long course of his
tory with the people fighting
slowly, now with defect and now
with victory, for a recognition OF
the reign of reason instead OF the
reign of tyranny and force.
We have emerged into a great
country people with intelligent
mon and women.
We have educational opportun-
tiles on every side. We nave an
alert electorate. We have people
wao understand expertlv w all the
various activities of our life from
every possible side
Now, then, | stand for two
thjn9s-first, for the principle OF
fair, impartial, thorough, candid
arbitration, adm second, for le2lS'
lation on facts according to the
necessities of the case, and | an
opposed to being dictated to either
in the executive department or II
Congress by any power on eartf
before the facts are known and II
the absence of the facts. We have
a great country and great III
,ule, but it can only be preserved
in one way:
That way is the way of all hon
est, fair investigation and candle
treatment. Show me the way tina
i is right and | will take it; but
won't take any way that | do no
i know anything about"

Athlete From Brooklyn
May Come To Delaware

Michael Hershman, a resident
of Flatbush, Brooklyn, who ac-
cording to the Wilmington Sun
day Star, is likely to be a student
at Delaware College, has the rer-
utation of being the best all
round athlete in greater New
York. "Hershman was the star
football player at Erasmus Hall
High School in 1894, and all
scholastic tackle in New York. He
also holds honors in baseball.
Last season Mike played with Rut-
gers Preparatory School. He did
not play football because of en-
tering the school too late in the
season. Without a doubt, he was
the best catcher that ever repre-
sented Rutgers Prepar tory
School. In an exhibition game
against the Rutgers College nine
he secured three hits off Benz, the
pitcher who held Princeton Var.
sity to three hits the following
week.
"If Hershman enters the Blue
and Gold Institution, he will be {
great help. Mike is thinking ser
iously of coming to the Newark
College. His brother, Edward
was a student at Delaware in 1911;
and while there likewise gained al
enviable reputation in all lines o
sport.
"Hershrlan weighs 210 pound
and is six feet in height. Hi
school mate, Walter PLAN, of Eras
mus Hall High School, is now
student at Delaware. The latte
has been a centending factor il
all lines of sport at the Delawar
Institution"

STATE FAIR OPENS
AUSPICIOUSLY
Many Local People Attend
ing

With the exploding of salute
of 21 bombs by the International
F works Company at nine
o'clock Monday, the Delaware
State Fair opened at Wawaset
Park, Wilmington. In spite of the
fact that quarantine to prevent
the spread of infantile paralysis,
declared by the Board of Health,
will keep all children away from
the Fair, the management is look
ing forward to the most success
full event in the history of the or
ganization. Fifteen thousand per-
sons were present during the
op,ning day.
The crowd came from Whining
ton, from Delaware, and from all
the surrounding states. Their
automobiles were parked by the
hundreds in the enclosure that
was set aside for them. The
crowd was pleased, too, for in the
Inauguration of day racing for the
automobiles it had a feature that
would attract and hold the atten-
tion of all. If any of the thou
sands present were asked what in
their opinion was the greatest
event of the day they no doubt
would have replied that it was the
spectacular demonstration of a
little "peace" car driven by one
man who managed to beat oppon-
ents that were twice the size of
his.
Besides the races there were ex,
hibits. 1t was hard to judge which
of the exhibits met with the most
interest from the crowd. The mer
and women crowded around the
enclosed space where the horses
were being paraded up and dowr
and where the judges were max
ing their decisions. The entrie:
were numerous and of many class
es and the perfection OF the en-
tries and their ,variety.lent toucl
to this branch of the fair that wa
lacking in other years, for in tn
opinion of those who have at
tended these fairs for years, ncve
l was there a better showing o
horse flesh Of its kind chan tha
, made in the little paddock at tn
! fair grounds.
For those who were not 50 muc
interested in horses as in tn
D work of human hands, there wa
the women's and children's de
partments. The entries here Wer
Il much the same as those shown 9
: any other time, but the manager
: of the fair had succeeded in plat
o ing each and every exhibit in sue
a way that it added to the geners
