SPECIAL PRIVILEGE TO
AUSTRIAN COLLEGE STUDENTS
(By Associated Press. J

Vienna, April Is. 5.-Thousands of
university students who are serving
at the front have just learned that
the Austrian ministry of education
has decided to grant them special
privileges in the way of shortening
their college course In the facul-
ties of philosophy and law the men
will be allowed to count their time
at the front as university year.
But as for medical students the au-
thorities say the responsibilities of
doctors to the community are too Sc
rious to be lightly dealt with. and
so these students cannot be credited
with time like their fellows in other
departments. But through moro in
tensive lecture courses and possibly
being permitted to take their eXami-
nations little sooner, the medical
students will be given some compen-
satiOn for their army work. Their
situation is the harder on account of

dents who have remained at home.

EFFECT OF HIGHER
PRICES ON SUGAR TRADE
lBy Associated Pros !

fanama, April 15.--IIigher prices
and improvements in the method Of
manufacture and better transporta-
ton facilities are having their ef-
lect on the sugar production of the
Republic of Panama. Heavy sugar
shipments are beginning TO come
from the large Santa Rosa mill near
Aguadulce in the Province Of Colce
This province is now the center of
the sugar industry of the republic
but probably will have serious
rival in the Province Of Chiriqui
when the new railway is inaugural
ed there.
The indications are that the pres
ent seasons run will be fully 80, 900
sacks as compared with 1900 last
year The product finds a ready mar
ket at $3.50 per hundred weight for
the best grade, the brown sugar
bringing somewhat less Most Of
the sugar production is consumed
within the border of the country al
though a small quantity is exported
to neighboring republics
Considerable progress has recent
ly been made in sugar cane cult
vation in Chiriqui Province whore
several Americans have acquired
large tracts of land Preparations
are now under way for the construc-
tion of a large sugar mill in that
| vicinity. The new railway which
President Porras opens to traffic
next month probably will stimulate
both the sugar and coffee production

In his letter to the Thomas Adver-

effect for the manufacture of com

THE present method of denaturina
alcohol is altogether too expensive
whereas the common garden variety
of alcohol could be manufactured by
a very simple apparatus on every
farm in Florida, under reasonable
restrictions, which would certainly
solve the motor fuel problem so fal
as Florida is concerned. 1t is even
possible that we might launch new

over three thousand miles down the

the house boat will go to Miami by
travelling up the Caloosahatchie river
to Lake Okeechobee and across to
Miami via the canals which have
been dug in draining the Everglades.
The boat, which is 12 feet wide and
80 feet long, was jammed in an ice

LACK OF INTEREST IN WAR

When the Titanic went down and
500 peole were drowned, the
United States held its breath for
week. Today when we read that
5000 have been killed in the battle
of Verdun, we yawn and turn over
to the sporting page. The public
appetite for gore has 'beeh stated
and there is just one more sensation
that will be avidly seized upon by
the reading public-the declaration
of peace.
So-called "horrors OF war" at
distance, seem to have lost all of
their sting. They are hardly inter-
esting any longer except as they may
effect our own immediate business.
That other bromide, the glory OF
war" seems. too, TO have passed out.
Nobody believes that the United
States will by any possible chance
become involved in the conflict and
outside of that even the so-called
hyphenated Americans refused to be
greatly disturbed by eventualities
or casualties in Europe.
