z SHORTAGE OF SUGAR.
May Mean That There Will Be Little
 Christmas Candy This Year.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-A nationwide shortage of sugar which threatens to curtail the supply of candy for the Christmas holidays, will be less felt in Chicago than elsewhere, according to wholesalers. The promise of re- lief for Chicago, it was stated, is the result of "a gentlemen's agreement" between the western beet sugar manu- lecturers and wholesalers that this city shall be taken care of first.
 Reports from various cities received here indicated that meagre supplies are held by retailers and that in many places dealers are refusing to. sell more than one pound to customer.
 The sugar beet harvest is now un- der way in the west and the product will begin to be marketed about the last of next week. Chicago dealers expected to have shipments of the new sugar within ten days but many sections of the country, it is said, will get none of the new crop for 60 days or more.

SAYS BERNS7ORFF
 DID NOT KNOW BOLO
Although Telegram Issued by Lansing Would Intimate
 That He Did

Amsterdam, Oct. 19.-Count vOn Bernstorff, former German ambassa dor to the United States, did not know Bolo Pasha, the Frenchman held as a spy in France, according to the Tage- blatt. Discussing the Bolo affair, the newspaper says:
 "In connection with the Bolo Pasha episode and the disclosures of Secre tary Lansing concerning the part al- leged to have been played by Am bassador von Bernstorff and Foreign Secretary von Jagow, we are informed by a competent source that the per- sonality of Bolo Pasha was not known to von Bernstorff in Washington, in asmuch as the ambassador did not have recourse to sources in the United States which might have been at the disposal of official quarters here. It is also esta blished that the name of Bolo Pasha was never made known to von Bernstorff, and his banker in- termediaries did not mention him. Consequently, the passage in the al- legged telegram published by Secre- tary Lansing in which von Jagow asked von Bernstorff what is new about Bolo?" is false.
 '"This warrants the obvious deduc- tion regarding the trustworthiness Of other details in this telegram
 The Taglische Rundschau says that the mention of Bolo's name in the von Jagow despatch is "another for gery of Secretary Lansing's for trans parent purposes" It adds that Bolo's name was not mentioned for the sim pie reason that von Bernstorff did not know. that Bolo was the man who was negotiating for the Paris Journal.
 Among the telegrams given out by Secretary Lansing on October was the following:
 Number 2O6. May 31. The per son announced in telegram 692, of March 20, has not yet reported him. self at the legation at Berne. Is there any more news on your side of BOlo?
 "JAGOW."
 In the inquiry into the Bolo affair in New York early this month it was learned that BOlo had an accompliCe in Switzerland through whom he had learned the terms on which Germany would conclude peace with France. Bolo Pasha is said to have received more than $1.700000 from yon Bern storff to aid in carrying out his plot

 Herr Hoch cited this as proof of the ambiguous game the government is playing with it's various indefinite peace declarations.
