Permits Germans to Withdraw to France Heavy Forces of
Men and Guns. Will Take Strong Hand to Restore Gov

to Aid in Raising Empire From Ruins

The decentralization OF the Russian
army and the consequent Withdrawal
OF the German forces from the eastern
front are having their effect in France.
Heavy reinforcements of men and
guns which Won Hindenburg has been
able TO throw into the defense of his
sorely battered lines have. for the
time being at least. caused deadlock,
which the most furious efforts of the
British and French have failed to
break.
These first fruits of the chaos in
Russia are more ominious in hints
they offer to future possibilities. The
council of soldiers and workmen's
delegations seems TO have been
aroused at last to the perils of the
course II has elected to follow, but 1t
is a question II its awakening has not
come too late. Soldiers in the ranks
have evidently taken the bit in their
there is hand strong enough to
check them from bringing a condition
practically of anarchy.
A hopeful side of the picture is
drawn by the multiplying signs that
the political economic crisis in Ger.
many is acute as ever. Possibly for
the first time in history, revolution
and German republic have been
openly talked about in the reichstag.
and most significant of all it is ap-
parent that the authorities do not dare
to attempt to check the growing auda-

PEPEEKEO ENJOYS
PROSPEROUSyEAR
Crop Now Being Harvested Is
Estimated To Produce
1880 Tons Sugar

Pepeckeo Sugar Company's prosper.
Gus year past was reviewed yesterday
at the annual meeting of stockholders
in the reports of James Webster, man
aeer, and George II. Robertson, trens-
uTer.
The net profit on PePeekeo's crop for
1915, including sundry profits, was
t4l5,959.04. Dividends paid during the
year totalled $375,Ot-. The balance
carried forward to 1917 is $3.50, 1881
al against the balance from 1915 of
1896, 68g.27. The book value Of the
ccmpany's properties increased by $53,-
921.04 during the year TO $740,710.3S,
while assets stand at $1,5i2, 046.0S and
liabilities at $25,397.77, with the cap
italization at $750,000.
Reviewing crop conditions, Manager
Webster states that the 1916 crop fin
isbed better than was anticipated, de-
spite the adverse conditions encoun.
tered by the crop in 1914. OF the crop
now being harvested, he reports:
"The 1917 crop covers practically the
same area as that of 1918, and from all
appearances looks as if il should give
about the same yield. Our preliminary
estimate of $500 tons Of sugar still
holds good
He adds that extensive additions Ia
the boiling house prevented an early
start, grinding having gotten under way
late in January. Wet weather has held
up field work, besides teaching and
washing the soil badly.
The report states that the 1918 CROP
had favorable start, but the heavy
rains hit the upper lands of the home
steaders rather adversely The com
pany's own fields have thiekened up ap'
preciably over the crop just taken OF.
Considerable trouble was had with
the rollers and boilers during the past
season, the manager reports, but exten
sive repairs and addition of new appa'
ratus have put the plant in good condi
ton. .,l. ~" NY 1s
