conditions ever since. When people
began TO hoard the ref1neries held
large stocks but soon these were
materially reduced because Of
strikes fomented by the Industrial
Workers of the World. Then came
an unprecedented demand, he said,
because of the food administration :
canning campaign. The pinch came
little earlier than might be ex-
pected because England took 2OO.-
600 tons Of the Cuban crop which
normally comes to this country and
when the late beet crop came on,
the railroads were unable to trans
port it east.
George NJ. Rolph, director of the
food administration sugar bureau.
followed Mr.. Babst on the stand.
He answered critics of the food ad-
ministration who maintain that the
price Of 1925 cents a pound set for
beet sugar was too high, by saying
that had not the price been set su-
gar prices now would be 20 or %
cents a pound, where available.
The beet sugar growers who met
here TO arrange FOR the price want
ed much more. he asserted.

SETS OUT WAR
AIMS FOR ALLIES
Demands Complete ReStora-
tion of Territory and
Compensation.

LONDON, Dec. 21 - Complete
restoration Of the territories taken
by the enemy together with COM
pensa ton. was demanded BY Pre-
mier Lloyd George in explaining the
war aims of the government.
The premier said that the losses in
shipping had been lighter by 1OO,-
600 tons than he had anticipated in
his August estimate. The advent of
America into world politics, the pre-
mier declared, was an event which
would loom large in the future. This
was true also Of the establishment
of the international council at Yer
sailles.
AS for the disposition Of the Ger
man colonies, the premier said, that
must be settled by the peace con-
gress. The future trustees Of those
countries must take into account the
sentiments Of the people themselves.
Russ Collapse Hurt.
The premier said that if the Rus
sian army had fulfilled the expecta-
tion OF it's generals. by this time the
pride of the German military power
would have been completely hum
bled.
On the whole. the British cam
paign had not achieved the expecta-
t.ons formed, he said, but there had
been military successes in Palestine
which would have a permanent ef-
feet on the history Of the world. Je-
rUsalem. he stated. never would be
restored TO the Turks.
owing TO the food difficulties in
Germany. the premier went on. the
physical deterioration OF workmen
there has been so marked that the
South Bend news-times., 1917-12-21

output per man has been decreased
by SO per cent.
AS for the British casualties, Mr..
Lloyd George said, they had not
amounted TO more than one-fourth
or one-ffth Of the Germans. Op-
posed 10 Germany Austria and their
allies. he asserted. were man power
and reserves more than double those
which the Teutonic allies possessed.
After referring 10 the Italian re
verses. the premier said il would be
necessary for Great Britain 10 make
greater sacrifices 10 strengthen its
armies in the coming year. The
need would arise TO increase the ne
tons man power by taking some
men now exempted.

mission as a surgeon in the regular

Mrs. Wood was formerly the
Countess Stoenel, wife Of a German

an Austrian Of noble parentage, but
her sympathies in the war for

sely American.
Despite the war department rules
that prohibit women from entering
the service of the army or navy as
surgeons, Mrs Wood cherishes a
hope that she may be accepted FOR
duty in one of the national army
cantonments or national guard
camps. Through the Colorado dele

Wood has rendered the use of a
leet of half a dozen automobiles,
and announces she will pay for the
hire of drivers for these ears should
the government accept her offer.
AIRS. Wood is i'm deep disfavor
with ths German government, she
said. explaining that following the
death OF Count Stoemel there was
much litigation over his estate. She
charges that the rulers of several
German states attempted 10 wrest
valuable properties from her. Dur
ing the course of the legal battles.
according Co Mrs. Wood. she aroused
the auimosity OF many German Off
cials and eventually was forced to
lice from the Teutonic environs in
order tO keep out of prison.

Discovered Comet 1896"

Probably the most extraordinary
discovery of a comet was that of the
one known as "a 1885, 1t happen
ed this way: Prof. Charles D. Per-
rine discovered comet on Novem-
Der II, 1895, and observed it night
after night till December 20, 1895,
when it was lost to sight in the glare
of the suns rays. Prof Perrine and
Mr.. Campbell calculated its orbit for
1896, and their computations were
published in the astronomical jour-
nails.
Just before dawn on January 80,
1896, Perrine and Campbell watched
it emerge from behind the sun at the
precise spot they had predicted. On
February IA a cablegram in cipher
announced that Lamp, at Kiel, Ger
many, had rediscovered Perrine's
comet that morning and gave its
position. This differed by twenty
four minutes of time from the posi-
ton in which Perrine knew his comet
to be. This was not explained for
several weeks, when it turned out
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-11-22

that in translating the cipher cable
gram a mistake had been made, and
that the cablegram as sent placed
the comet just where Perrine had
observed it.
Before this error had been dis
covered, however, and on the morn
ing of February Is, Perrine turned
his telescope to the spot indicated in
the cablegram and saw comet. He
naturally supposed that Lamp, at
Kiel, had discovered this new comet
and mistaken it for the Perrine
comet, and not until the error in
translating the cablegram was dis
covered did it become evident that
this was not so and that the error
had actually directed the telescope
to a new comet.
And stranger still, this new comet
was moving so rapidly that had
Perrine directed his telescope to the
spot indicated at any other time but
just that morning he would not have
seen it and it might have never been
discovered.-Science.
