Charles Edward Russell, famous
writer for The Tribune, has spent
three months in Russia as a men,
ber Of the American commission
to the new Russian government,
which was headed by Elihu Root.
His opportunities for observation
and investigation Of Russian con-
ditions were unparalleled, as all
the resources of the provisional
government were placed at his
disposal. The commission has
just returned to this country, and
Russell, after closing his inamedi-

As appears from the table. France, Italy. Russia and Belgium were self supporting. while the United Kingdom drew it's entire sugar supply from eX- terior sources. The supply of the Unit ed Kingdom came to the amount of about 70 per cent from countries from which it is now cut off by the war. Ten per cent came from the East h. dies and 20 per cent from the United States and the West Indies.
 The prospective 1918 crop in France has diminished to POT, 900 tons and that of Italy to 75,00o tons, and they are therefore short 1000 tons. The disbursement of United Kingdom sup plies amounts to 1,435,0o0 tons; and therefore, in total, these three allied countries must import about 2,700,000 tons in order to maintain their normal consumption. Of this, 20o0. 900 tons must come from new sources.

SPIRiTUALlSTS MEET AT
WALDORF

New York, September 25-Perma-
nent guests and employees of the Wal
dorf-Astoria are hoping that all the
spirits to be found under the roof of
the big hosterly this week may be
confined in the bottles behind the no.
tel bar. 1t is not the spirits of this
scrt, however, that they have in mind.
What is feared Is a visit from spirits
of another kind, the sort who make
the tables rock in darkened rooms,
who rap on the bed when ones half
as leep, and who perform slate-writing
and sundry other stunts to the mysti-
fication of the initiated.
Among the guests registered at the
hotel today were scores of mediums
and experts in spiritualism who have
come from all sections of the United
States and Canada to attend the sill
vel jubilee convention of the Nation
al Spiritualists' Association, the ses-
sions of which will continue through
the remainder of the week. The as
ISOLATION embraces more than 1000
local societies in the United States
ard Canada, having an aggregate men,
bership of upwards of 100000 avowed
Spiritualists.
One Of the important items of bust
ness at the convention will be the con-
sideration Of plans for big celebra-
ton to be held next year in honor of
the SEVENTEEN anniversary OF the
event which is considered the founda-
ton of modern American Spiritual
ism. The celebration probably will
take the form of pilgrimage Of the
leaders and theiar followers to the
village Of Hydesville, N. Y, which is
regarded as the cradle of the cult
On farm near Hydesville there
lived seventy years ago a family by
the name Of Fox, of which the head,
John ID. Fox, was known as a devout
Methodist Besides the father and
mother the family included three
daughters, the eldest not yet 16 and
the youngest still a mere child.
Shortly after the Fox family moved
into the farmhouse, according to the
story given to the public, frequent
rappings resounded in all parts of the
house. Principally, these were heard
at night, but when no heed was paid
to them they became more bold and
came in the daytime.
But modern American spiritualism
dates its existence from the night of
March 81, 1848, when, according to the
recital of Mrs. Fox, the mother, her
youngest child began to converse with
the spirit. The result of the CONVEX
sation was to learn that 1t was the
