The shortage Is due, the admlnlstra- tion says, to the failure of the pupnc outside of a few loyal homes to re- duce consumption, and unusual exports to France in order that the french people may have their meagre ration of one pound of sugar per person per month.
 In regard to prices attention is called to the fact that by agreement the price of beet and Hawaiian sugar has been fixed at "A cents pound. Atlantic and Pacific seaboard pasls, under which the maximum retail price at interior points should be SA cents' while by an agreement with the cane refiners and Cuban producers the price of cane sugar has been held down so that it should reach the consumer at about nine cents a pound.

S0JTHERNERSHEAR ALLIED DIPLOMATS
 IN NEW YORK CITY
Many Addresses Made at Dinner Held in Connec- tion With the Southern
 Commercial Congress

New York, October 16.-Diplomatic representatives in the United States of the nations allied in the war for given in their honor tonight in con nection with the Southern Commercial congress, in session here. The deter imitation of the nations arrayed against German militarisrn to carry on the war until their objects were at tained was pledged anew by those rep resenting the smallest as well as the greatest powers in the grand alliance.
 Secretary of Commerce William c. Redfield, spoke as the representative of America and the following were guests of honor:
 J. J. Jussurand, French ambassador; Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice, British ambassadors Count V. Macchi De Gel lere, Italian ambassador; Aimaro Sato. Japanese ambassador; Boris Bakhme- tieff, Russian ambassadors; Viscount De Ate, Portuguese minister; Phya Prabha Karavongse, Siamese minister; Dr. Carlos Manuel De Csepedes, Cuban minister; V. Wellington Roo, Chinese minister; Dr. Belisario, Panama minis ter Lioubomir Michaelovitch, Servian minister; E. De Cartier De Marchienne, Belgian minister and G. Roussos, Greek charge daffaires.
 Addresses also were made by Uni- ted States Senators James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, R. l.. owen of Okla homa and Duncan U. Fletcher, presi- dent of the Southern Commercial con- gress, who presided.
 Germany stands condemned in the eyes of the world, her place is that of Pariah, declared Ambassador Jusser- and who added:
 We are full of confidence. You of the south have solved your problems with a mastery that everybody ad. mires. We shall solve ours. We have done it before. Your alertness is lined with patiences.
 Tn the world war the north and the south have enlisted under the ban ner of justice and the sight is ave- inspiring. The story of the world of fers nothing like it. What they fight is treachery, perjury, falsehood cor ruption, tryanny-the meanness of people who destroy for no other reason than that they have the power to do so, and who cannot see something clean without polluting, running or killing it-a church, girl, a child, q family hearth.
 "1he havoc wrought by that power of evil which we are fighting has been terrific, but we shall so man. age. all of us, that it will be unable ever to work such ruin again"

German Trade After the War

w. E. Augh1nbaugh, in LeSlie'S
 Realizing, as she always has, that for eign trading Is as exact science as medi- cine of the law, and knowing that when peace comes the world is to experience a long period of sharp competition such as it has never before witnessed, com mercial Germany since 1914 has given this important problem the most vital consideration, which indeed it merits. For three years past the German com mercial high schools have been giving more time to courses in overseas trading, The school in Berlin for 1916-1917 offers to the student 115 separate new branches of instruction, while the University of Berlin is giving 94 additional subjects in the same line In all of these institutes of learning, languages, especially Rus sian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic, Trukish, Siavish and Chinese have been receiving special attention, for condl- tions at present indicate that export trade may expand where these tongues prevail. Shipping, banking, foreign ex- change, insurance, foreign geography custom house procedure, organization business administration, foreign adver- Using, advertising with moving pictures and cooperative buying and selling are some of the subjects which have been amplified
 As an exporting nation, the United States is more seriously concerned with the future business of Mexico, Central and South America, for it is in this sec tion of the world that Germany will make her next strongest play for trade Prior to 1914 Germany had created a wonderful reciprocal market with these Latin-American republics. Throughout all these lands her merchants had estab- lished and still maintain strong com mercial houses, with numerous branches in all important centers. Her banks were to be found everywhere, competing with those of Great Britain, her only rival in financial circles. They had fi- nanced national and municipal improve ments and advanced money to embar- rassed governments. Unable to send tC the fatherland during the last three years their accumulated earnings, they had reinvested them at great profit in the countries wherein they were
 domiciled, with the result that today their control over governments and local
 merchants Is even greater than before the European conflict. thus placing them in a dominating position everywhere. As direct consequence when peace comes we Americans will find her our bitterest commercial foe securely entrenched in q territory which we should for geograph- icai, political and economic reasons con trol.
 The question naturally arises-are we prepared commercially to meet this sea soned enemy? I doubt 1t. We lack ships. We need more banks. We are woefully deficient in men familiar witf the ramifications of foreign trade. And worst of all the government of the United States has made no great effort to support the exporter as 1t should.

STATEMENT ISSUED

"There will be temporary shortage in the supply of sugar to the area north of Savannah and east of Pitts burg" the food administrations state ment said, "during the latter part Of october and the month of November, pending the arrival in the market or new sugar. The beet sugar factories in the western states are rapidly com ing into action, and, together with the Hawaiian production, will be able ln a short time to take care of the sugar supply in the area west of the terri tory referred to.
 As the production of beet and Ha- waiian sugar increases, the areas sup piled from this source will gradually extend eastward, and the beet sugar should reach the Atlantic seaboard by the end of November. The rapidity with which this sugar invasion from the west can take place will be largely contolIed by the economies shown in the consumption of sugar by the people in the western area. and the food ad- ministration makes special appeal to them that they should vigorously reduce the consumption of sugar, more especially of candy and sweet drinks, in order that the northeastern states may be supplied at the earliest possible movement

PAY PROPER PRICE

Practically all of the cane sugar in the hands of the refiners and the pro- ducers has now been distributed to the jobbers and retailers at the prices maintained during the last two months or upon a basis that should reach the consumer in the neighborhood of nine cents per pound. Therefore, if by vir- tue of the shortage in the eastern states, the price of sugar should in- crease it is only proof that it has been increased at the hands of the handling trades-not at the hands of either the producer or the refiner. The food administration asks the public not to pay more for sugar during the present shortage than it has been pay ing during the last 90 days. When the supply of beet sugar reaches the Atlantic seaboard, it should be avail able upon a less basis than the cane

APPEAL TO JOBBERS

"Furthermore, the food administra- ton requests that all jobbers in the west as well as in the east should distribute their sugar with care amongst the retailers in such reduced quantities, and that the retailers. in turn, should refuse to sell but very limited quantity to any one customer. We also trust that jobbers will refuse to sell sugar to any retailer who advances the price.
 remedial contribution can be made if the American people will at once reduce their consumption of candy and sweet drinks. Many householders of the country have responded to the ap. peals for voluntary reduction, and un- less we can secure wider an imme diate reduction of the sugar consump
