How the Soldiers
Outwit the Censor

Beating the censor is popularity sup
posed 70 be a newspaperman's game.
But il isn't any more. The newspaper
man has learned 70 respect the blue
pencil in authority. II IS now elias ed
among the odd job Of the soldiers, and
the way some Of the Keokuk men let
their relatives know that they were
sailing for France this last time, is
really interesting.
In a little book on the war table at
the Keokuk Public Library is a collec-
ton Of letters written by Russell Kelly
Of the Foreign Legion. Kelly tells his
father whore he il in the letter, by
writing the names of five or six cities
and towns in column. II looks harm
less enough, but the first letters of
these names when put together in
sequence give the name of the town
where he is.
The Rainbow boys improved even on
this scheme, however. Knowing that
they wouldn't have time to write when
they actually embarked one of the boys
had it arranged with his folks that he
would send package home the day he
embarked. And sure enough 4 bundle
came. There was no writing, no ex-
PLANTATION, just the bundle.
Another boy in the squad arranged
TO drop just an envelope into the mail
box, and another put ring around the
lamp on the envelope he dropped into
the mail chute. By these tokens their
folks here knew they were leaving
Daily Capital City, Keokuk, Iowa.

Of her pre-war sugar crop. She is able
10 secure from other sources consld
cradle amount of sugar, but II hei
shortage Is not TO be serious the United
States must supply her with about 2VO'-
600 tons of sugar per year.
Before the war, Great Britain was
largely dependent for her sugar sup
plies upon the beet fields OF the Cen
trail Powers, of Russia and Of the
Netherlands and Belgium. The British
have shown enterprise in finding other
ources Of sugar supplies and IN great
iy increasing their importations OF
cane sugar. This means an additional
drain on the worlds supply Of cane
sugar.
ne crops for each of the three years
slnce the war has been in full swing.
1876, 1857 and l9l7-I9 (esti-
mated approximate the average for
the five years preceding the war. In
round numbers, 18.500O00> tons. This
figure represents decline of about
100000 tons below the production for
the three crop years, l9l2-13, l9l3-'1i
and 19l4-'15. These were record break
ing years. representing the worlds
maximum production. Cane sugar pro-
duction has increased since the out
break Of the war by more than 2,000.
600 tons over the pre-war five year
average, and this has partially Offset
the loss in beet sugar production due
TO war conditions.
British Price Control Effective
The cane sugar supply is all at the
disposal of the United States, the
Entente and the neutrals. The ques-
ton as to whether the Central Powers
have enough sugar or not does not
concern the United States. An inter
esting feature of the situation is the
accumulation of sugar in Java. The
most conservative estimates are TO the
effect that from 100000 to 100000 tons
of sugar are stored there, because OF
the lack of shipping facilities. This
quantity would amply supply all needs,
but at present il cannot be transported
20 the United States, Great Britain or
France. Reports circulated TO the ef-
feet that the Javan movement 70 the
United Kingdom is satisfactory DO no.
appear to be well grounded. Even
without Java sugar, there is enough
cane sugar available for the Entente
and for the neutrals if the crop in
Cuba and other convenient cane-pro-
ducing areas can be shipped and dis
tributed intelligently. The food ad
ministration has undertaken to deal
with the situation. British experience
in the case of sugar has shown that
governmental price control and dis
tribution can be effective.

LOTION.
A sharp break in the cotton market
Yesterday was attributed chiefly to
further liquidation by spectators who
bought earlier in the week and had
found cause for disappointment in the
failure of the recent government esti-
mate to stimulate demand from the
trade. January broke TO 1888, or
about A points from Thursdays close
and back to practically the level pre-
vailing before the official crop figures
were published last Tuesday. Last
prices were about the lowest Of the
day, with the tone easy at net de-
clines of 40 to so points.
The market opened at decline Of
5 to 10 points, and after selling 20
TO 30 points net lower, rallied slightly
on covering by shorts. Trade buying
was much less active than recently.
No change was reported IN the spot
situation, but there was considerable
Southern selling, with the market
nervous and unsettled in the late
trading.
The census report on supply and
distribution failed to create any fresh
sentiment of consequence. II was con-
sidered as indicating well sustained
volume of domestic mill consumption.
At the same time it showed an in
crease in mill stocks Of raw material
for the month, and local spot brokers
say that it is more difficult to do bust
ness with the mills, who seem to be
pretty well supplied for their imme--
date requirements. 1t is also believed
that the mills have recently secured a
good deal of protection against their
forward sales of goods, and this may
account for the falling Oft in the vol
ume CT trade buying. Crippled wire
service was partly responsible Tor a
reduced volume of trading.
Exports for the day were 5.7I4
bales. making 1.S24213 so far this
season, against 2.7Ss,361 last year.
Southern spot markets, so far as Off
cially reported, were unchanged to 40
points lower. The Southwestern mar
kets were relatively easy.

Detectives Raid
Soft Coal Stock
Jobbing Concern
District Attorney Finds
Case of Fraudulent Adver-
Using in Company Hero

The Pennsylvania Coal Mines Com
pany, which seized uoon the coal short
age as an opportunity to make a COM
bination offer TO the public Of coal and
stock, will have to find some other way
Of getting rid Of its stock. After ex-
emining Montgomery w. Mccormick,
vice-presdent and general manager Of
the concern, and p. L. Adams, its sec
rotary and treasurer, yesterday Dis
trict Attorney Swami warned them that
he had a clear case Of fraudulent ad-
yertising against the Pennsylvania Coal
Mines Company.
Stock Purchase Necessary
For two days the company has been
advertising its readiness TO sell soft
coal in carload lots az the rate Of S2.45
a ton plus shipping charges" but with
out mentioning that tie purchase OF
stock was a prerequisite in the trans
action.
The result was that the Office OF the
Pennsylvania Coal Mines Company, az
253 Broadway, was thronged with pur-
chasers, and many tired Of waiting for
some one TO wait upon them and de-
parted without buying either coal or
stock. On demanding his soft coal by
the carload prospective customer was
informed by Alfred Roman, clerk, that
first he must buy 100 shares of stock in
the Pennsylvania Coal Mines Company
at 81 a share and pay $50 on account.
For its part, Roman said, the COM
pany would deliver two tons Of soft
coal on Monday or Tuesday and would
send the rest when the remainder OF
the stock had been paid for The Gus
toner wrote a check for $50 and gave
it to Roman. Then he called up Dis
trict Attorney Swami.
Gun Is Transferred
A few minutes later Detective Joseph
Russo, of the District Attorneys Office,
came in and invited Mccormick and
Adams to call on the District Attorney.
While preparing to accept the invita-
ton Mccormick unostentatiously trans
ferred a pistol from his pocket TO that
Of Roman. The clerk was astonished
at discovering it and inclined to think
that the detective had put il there.
The vice president Of the company ex-
planned that he was constable Of Union
town, Penn, and had carried the weapon
because he intended TO return to his
duties there last night. He didn't think
1t was necessary to carry il to the Dis
trict Attorneys Office, however, and
so had slipped it into Romans pocket.
At the District Attorneys office the
versatile Mccormick acknowledged not
only that he was vice-president Of the
Pennsylvania Coal Mines Company and
constable of Uniontown, but was an
ex-convict as well, having served time
in Huntington County, Penn, for rob
berry.
The coal company had lots of coal,
he said, the difficulty being that il had
lots of stock, too, instead of money
with which TO mine the coal. Since
May, he said. he had been trying 20
sell the stock in New York, but lad
only succeeded in getting rid Of $1,000
worth, whereas the company was incor-
porated in Delaware for 100000.
District Attorney Swami asked for
and received the cooperation OF the
Tribune Investigation Bureau in max
ing the raid.
