Belgians Applaud Sentiment.
There was wild applause at this
from the Belgians, and, incidentally,
from 7. P. O'Connor, the noted Irish
man, who was a last minute guest at
Sycamore hill. It was a very patri-
otto little party at Oyster Bay. After
the colonel had been greeted formal
ly by M. de Cartier de Marchienne,
the Belgian minister to the United
States, he proposed this toast:
II give you one of the most noted
and heroic figures it has been my
good fortune to read about-King A
bert of Belgium
After this had been attended to, Col.
Roosevelt said:
"To you Americans here, give a
toast to the heroic Belgian people.
May we strive to approximate the
high standards they have setw
Whereupon T. P. O'Connor spoke up,
in this fashion:

The reichstag is not congress or a
parliament; it is a debating society,
permitted to exist for purposes of de-
ception, but utterly powerless. Amer
leans who have likened it in their
minds to their own house of represen-
tatives should understand the real con-
dition of government in Germany, as
portrayed succinctly by the Times in
these words:
"The real legislative body of Ger
many is the bundesrath, of which we
hear hardly anything. The bundles
rath has not only legislative power,
but executive and judicial. The reich
stag talks, but if it should pass res
olution, the bundesrath can veto it.
The reason we hear so much of the
conversational reichstag and so little
of the potent bundesrath is that the
reichstag meets in public to indulge in
oratory, the bundersrath in private TO
act.
The bundesrath is not body of rep
resentatives of the people. 1t is APP
pointed by kings and princes; its six
ty-one members are nominated by and
directly represent the monarchs of the
twenty-five states composing the en-
pire. When the bundesrath meets the
emperor and the kings are in session;
its members are their ambassadors,
not in any respect the delegates of the
people. When it is said that the bun
desrath has the power to veto any leg
islation passed by the reichstag, what
is meant is that the princes have that
power, for the bundesrath is the Ger
man monarchy in session. The reich

called in Germany, "a hall of echoes

If the visiting Belgian war COM
mission needed any words of cheer
ing-which it probably didn't after
having passed through one arduous
reception Tuesday-it certainly re-
ceived such encouragement yesterday
afternoon at Oyster Bay, during a
visit to the home of Col. Roosevelt.
Not only immediate peace, but a
big indemnity to Belgium for the
wrongs she has suffered, and various
other reparations which must be made
by the Germans were advocated by the
colonel in a brief address. Following
is the most striking part of it:
"The greatest menace to civilization
at the present time is all the talk
of an inconclusive peace. We must
have a peace that is just, and no
peace will be just which does not give
to Belgium the heavy indemnity, and
no peace will be just which does not
establish great Bohemia and great
judo Slav commonwealth in Austria,
and which does not sign and join the
Rumanian and italian Austrians to
their Italian and Rumanian brothers.
Such a peace must force the Turks

For the coppers then in Berlin
Will be Micks from County Clare,

In the palace over there.

You will meet sweet colleen,
While their fields of waving sauer-

We will plant with shamrock green.
No liverwurst, no sausage, when
The Dutchman drinks his "suds"-
He'll eat corned beef and cabbage, and
Some damned good Irish spuds.
Their murd'rous guns and gas bombs
Well make them throw away,
And have them use shillelahs ~
Or bricks of Irish clay.

CANE AND BEET
SUGAR TO Be
LOWER IN PRICE

Washington, Aug. 26.-An agree

duct so as to effect a reduction of
about one and one-half cents a pound
in the present price of sugar was an
nounced tonight by the food admins
tration, with notice to the public
that this should mean a saving of $780,
100000 between now and the first of
next year. 1t also was announced that
the wholesale grocers had agreed to
limit distributing charges to prevent
exorbitant charges.
In the near fatue the administers

wholesale sugar should be delivered at

sugar price fixed is the equivalent of

lowing to the holders of the re-
mainder of the Cuban crop asking ex-
orbitant prices for their sugar." said
the administrations statement, "the
price has been advanced during the
last few weeks by over one and one
half cents per pound. The new Cuban
crop will not be available until the lat
ter part of December. The beet sugar
production of about 100000 tons be-
gins to come into the market during
the month of September and should
furnish the bulk of supplies between
then and the first of the year, when
the Cuban crop will be available"
AT conference between the food
administration and representatives of
so per cent of the domestic beet sugar
industry of the United States, the
statement says, these beet sugar pros
ducers reached the agreement to linn
it their price tv a basis that will make
possible the $30,OO0,0O0 saving to the
public.
Lower Prices for Imported Sugar.
This patriotic action will not only
make the saving mentioned above be-
tween now and the end of the year,
but will contribute largely to establish
lower price for imported sugar
Throughout next year, says the state
ment, which continues:
sit is the intention of the food adj
ministration to adopt certain measures
which will effectually assure that the
price agreed upon shall not be ex-
ceeded during the coming year even
upon imported sugar and it is hoped
that as soon as the Cuban crop is avail
able, the price will be less than SIPS.
"It is desirable for the public to bear
in mind, the food administration
points out, that in order for the allies
to be supplied with sugar, which is
now cut off, the public must reduce its
consumption OF sugar by every means
possible. There is room for reduction
in consumption without hardship"

s250,0Q0 FOR
War CAMP WORK

| Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 27.-$250,1
900 for war camp ministry to Method
list soldiers is being asked of the Meth
odist Episcopal church through its
board of home missions and church
extension with headquarters in this
city. The survey of church conditions
in the neighborhood of the canton
ments and other camps shows that
while in most cases the Methodist
Episcopal churches in the vicinity
were able to perform an adequate min
| istry to the normal population, many
of them are entirely inadequate for
meeting the needs of the 10000
Methodist soldiers who will be distri-
buted throughout the different camps.
This $250,000 will be used to equip
regular Methodist Episcopal chap
lains, to equip and support volunteer
chaplains for officers training camps
and to render more efficient Methodist
churches located near the camps and
to augment the equipment of those
churches needing it, in order to rem
der an adequate ministry to the Meth
odist boys in the camps in the name of
Jesus Christ and the church back
home. War emergency commissions
are being appointed by the bishops in
the twenty Episcopal districts in the
United States, which will cooperate
with the board of home missions and
church extension in raising and dis
bursting the money. The strongest
men in the denomination will be sent
to serve as pastors at these camp
