The news, however, came as a great
surprise to A. NJ NOVEL;, secretary OF
the Sugar Factors Company. In fact 1t
is such surprise that Secretary
NOVEL; cannot bring himself to a full
realization that it is true. Never
theless he hopes So But in the face OF
the official decision of the food admin
istration a month ago that the maxi
mum basis for refined F. o. B. ATTAIN
tic seaports was to be 7.25 cents, he
declares he canLot see how the food
commission has consented to such a
radical increase in the price basis un.
less it be that the Influence of the
Cuban planters, who control the mar.
ket, was so great as to force such a
concession from the American board.
Persons in touch with the sugar in.
dustry have known for the past month
that the Cuban planters were dissatis-
fled With the TBS maximum, which,
duty excluded. allowed them AS.
cents for their product. With the
food commissions figure of 1.30 mar
gin between the raw and refined
basis. the price under the original fig
ure for domestic raws was placed at
5.g5, as announced in the star.Bulletin
recently. ? r., RI. i
But strong pressure has Deen
brought to bear by the Cuban planters
for 6-cent sugar, and il the domestic
price has been set at $50 it is a direct
concession to the Cuban market OF /
cent q pound, which. also grants the
domestic producers similar increase.
In other words it grants the Cuban
planters a price of $50 at Cuban
ports. -
On this basis the maximum for re-
fined would advance to $40 cents, al.
lowing q margin of 1.30 between raw
and refined price, and it is almost
certain that the refiners will insist on
their 100 margin.
With $50 sugar Hawaiian planters
viii face one Of the biggest years, il
not the biggest year, in the point of
gross revenue since the cane industry
became associated with the islands as
it, leading industry. While the 1917
crop was estimated to be worth APP
$75.e00,8 the 1918 crop,
even with a slightly lesser tonnage
due to drought, will exceed 1t by about
600.
Preliminary estimates compiled by
Secretary Novel; indicate that the
Sugar Factors crop will be less than
the 1917 output by $4,000 to 81, 900
tons, bringing the total down to about
So 600 tons. as against $4,000 tons !
this year.

 Be Now in the

 Population.
TRAFFIC IN GIRLHOOD

LONDON Sept. -(Correspond. ence of the Associated Press. .)-Ten thousand. Serbian girls from ten to fourteen years have been kidnapped and dcported from Serbia to the har- ems of Constantinoplc, to Bulgaria and Asia Minor, says advices re- ceived by Mr Pasitch, the Serbian Premier, who is now in London.
 These deportations," said M. Pa sitch, have been going on since February, 1916, but the number was very limited until a few weeks ago. Now it has been systematized under Bulgarian controllers, and it is i'm possible to predict how far it will go.
 Eight thousand girls have been sent to Constantinople, and two housand more to Bulgaria and Asia Minor. Prisoners whom we have aken on the Saloniki front tell us that the traffic in our girlhood has grown to be byword in Bulgaria md Turkey.
 "T1e girls are kidnapped and ta-
 
 zen away secretly, particularly from he smaller villages, until at pres ent dozens of small towns have been quite denuded of the young female population.
 "I do not think that the Turks are he actual instigators of this gross violation of the rules of civilized warfare All our information indi- cates that tho Bulgarians are the prime movers and the Turks only incidental beneficiaries of the traf- tic.
 "The giSs are too young to be of my use for laboring purposes, be- sides, neither Turkey nor Bulgaria 8 seriously handicapped for labor, md in Turkey the use of young wo- neu for outdoor work is practically unknown.
 "H is very difficult for us to do anything to help these unfortunate victims. Our affairs at CoIistanti- lople and Sofia are now in the lands of the Dutch government, and we have made the most earnest pos ible protests through that govern nent. But you know how difficult t is to get any action from Turkey. Ne have suggested, for instance, hat some scheme of repatriation be put into effect immediately, that the girls be sent back to same place be- yond the war zone. But 1 fear it too late to save them, and that we ,an only wait in patience until peace comes."
