GERMAN SELF-cONCEiT.
I'VE feel ourselves to be the bearers
OF a superior kultur. We have no
doubt that defeat of our people would
retard by centuries the development of
mankind. On the other hand, we hope,
by the victory Of our arms, to bring
about a new effloresence of humanity
through the German nature. which will
thus prove itself fruitful of blessings
for other nations as well."-Dr. Paul
Conrad Stark, in dem Hexan (1sl5).
Germany Is now about to become,
mentally and morally, the first nation
in the world. The German nation leads
in the domains of kultur. science. In
telligence. morality. art and religion. in
the entire domain of the inner life.
The world shall once again be
healed by the German spirit; that shall
be no empty phrase for US. All the
deep things-courage. patriotism,

FACTS ABOUT SUGAR

@LAUS SPRECKLES, the California sugar refner,
blamed the Hoover food administration for the SUI
w gar shortage Mr. Hoover retaiated with decla-
ration that the reers trying to fix the blame on him
because they will make less profit this year than they
would been able to make had not the federal food adj
instraton been active In the light of these statements
and because the sugar situation is felt in every home in
the land it is interesting to note what Earl D. Babst
president of the American Sugar Refining company, has
to say to the stockholders of his company.
The report asserts that with onehrd Of the worlds
sugar production within the present battle lines various
foreign countries have turned to Cuba and other
which ordinarily supply the United States. Another
seron that the immediate of the present short
age increased consumption inadequate supply and de-
layed distribution Sensational stories early in 1917
limited sugar famine desire by the trade to avoid
the proposed excise taxes increased the demand
Dealers manufacturers and which continued
all the year and accompanied by boarding The gov
eminent called the housewives Of the nation to
fruit and they responded By November the consumption
of sugar in this country 1000 tons day greater than
it during the previous year, while Cubas extraord
nary shipments Europe had reduced available sup
ply for the fall months by nearly 45O0O0O00 pounds
There plenty of sugar in Java but is too far away
to do this country any good The shortage in the
eastern states will be relieved when the Cuban crop
begins arrive in large volume, early in the year.
At place in the report of Mr. Babs is there any
seron made that the action of the food administration
tended to bring about shortage of sugar With the Ger
man and other European sugar cut off, there
would fall the rest of the world increased demand

TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT

G7HERE has not been railroad man OF any prominence
and none anywhere in the scale that we know Of to
object to government control of the railroads dur
ing the period of the war;
On the contrary every prominent railroad man IN the
country given the assurance OF his hearty
cooperation They all say they ready to take OH
their coats and do everything in their power to make the
new arrangement success.
That's a fine American spirit. It is the spirit
that manifested by the spectacle of the millionaire son
and the laborers marching side by side in the ranks to
fight for their country It is American democracy In
practice
Recently Congressman Miller in speech inveighed
against the "socal chasm between the officers and the
enlisted men in the American army He pointed out that
it was different France where the soldiers and the Of
cers hobnobbed and he drew contrast that accepted
would place American democracy lower scale than
that Of our sister republic.
In our Judgment the congressman took the wrong view
We doubt if the best results could be obtained IN the
American army if there should be too great measure OF
familiarity American life has been different than French
life in time of peace and there why we should
copy that country in time of war; especially when morale
and discipline may be involved.
The fact remains, however, that there is splendid
feeling between the officers and men of the American
army and between the officers of humble origin and those
who have occupied important positions in civil life
Here we have the democracy of America spendidly
empfied in our army Notwithstanding the lines observed
by Congressman Miller.
But equal emphasis be laid not only upon the pat
rotc acceptance of railroad CONTROL but upon the loyal
cooperation of those in all walks of life who must stay at
home They true blue they not permitted
to carry guns.
