PLENTY OF WHISKY

There was every evidence yeSter. day that some bOOtleggerS had brought in large supplies of whisky in the dis trict the night before. as there were more drunken men on the streets of Bisbee and Lowell yesterday than had been seen in many a year. in fact it was remarked by many that there were more drunken men on the streets than when the saloons were running full blast. The smell of whisky could be found all along the streets and tho air seemed to be Hull of it. Ematy whisky bottles could be found behind nearly every corner and other places where it was convenient 10 drop them. The same story applies tO Lowell and the Johnson addition. while word comes from Douglas that conditions were even worse and that there were numerous drunken rows down there and fights on the train be tween men coming back JO BiSbee from there.

of the most pro-German of the Turks.
 Moreover, when Germany and Rus sia had come to an agreement as to the Bagdad railway, as a result of the meeting between the kaiser and the Tsar at Potsdam in 1910. it was Hskki Pasha who after the conclu- sion of the Tripoli and Balkan wars, was sent to London by Turkey, in agreement with Germany. to. try to bring about agreements between the British foreign office, the German em- barry. that is VOn Kuehlmann. and the Turkish embassy in regard to the Bagdad-Persisn gulf section of the railway and other important matters connected with that region. Those agreements fortunately had not been signed on the outbreak of the war.
 Tt is for these reasons and because of the identity of these persons that lay particular stress upon the in fuence of these peace negitiations upon what l feel convinced the de signs Of the Germans in the east The realization of such designs would bs as dangerous 10 the future of the worlds peace as would the conclusion of a peace unsatisfactory to the al lies and to America in western Eu rope or elsewhere"

 will do this cOuntry's efforts incalcul- able harm. The number of troops we can send across is limited. If we in our greed and gluttony force the lllies either to reduce their ration or to 90 to remote markets for their sugar we will have done tremendous damage to our abilities 10 win the war
 Charges that the food administration Aas permitted sugar stocks to remain in parts of the country unmoved are denied, as are statements that sugar was left in Cuba while an effort was made to beat down Cuban prices. AS 70 the fixing of sugar prices the food administrator has this to say:
 Strong Action Necessary.
 Tn order to prevent profiteerins the food administration considered strong action was necessary and i'm, posed a maximum profit on refiners and wholesalers.
 As further precautiOn against prOfiteering the administration made a voluntary agreement with the best sugar factories that they would not sell sugar at more than S7.s5 a hun fred pounds at sea ports. Some whd had already contracted at Ss. cancel led their contracts.
 The net result of these volunta.< agreement was to reduce the price of susagr ont and three quarters cents west of the Mississippi and north of he Ohio and one cent on the Atlantic. Had these arrangements not been made sugar would have risen to s5 pr 90 cents a pound.
 Numerous prosecutions have been started against firms which have sold sugar at prices of fifteen and twenty cents.
 The Consumers Bill.
 The consumers sugar bill from the time restraints were imposed until January lst will be about $IS0. .0OO. 900. Every cent a pound rise means about S1S.O00. 900. Twenty cent sugar would have meant about SlSO.

 Personnel Of Delegates. - -VOn Kuehlmann. whom I knew Vasn he was chancellor Of the Ger nlsn embassy in London until the out EreaS of war. is himself an avowed Fastener At that time his one aim end object was to bring about an agreement between England on the Cne side and Germany and Turkey on the ether. favorable to the latter two -@''H- -ries in regard to the Bagdad I2--way.
 Tn this. he nearly succeeded for he lest no opportunity of making pro paganda of the most subtle kind politicians and journalists. British and foreign Indeed. il was nearly impossible to persuade him to speak upon any other subject
 Thus. if there be a man in Ger many who would be willing 10 make sacrifices in the west or even upon questions of general importance to Russia. in order to secure the CO., operation of. or a free hand from. that country in the Balkans and in Asia Minor it is Won Kuehlmann. the German foreign minister.
 Germany Dictates Policy.
 The personalities of the Austrian and Bulgarian delegates are. in my opinion, of no great importance for the representatives of the dual mon archy will have to follow the orders Of Germany and Bulgaria has no dir ectly outstanding questions with Rus sia- IL is. however. interesting to note that the Bulgarian delegates are none of them men of outstanding reputstions at home or abroad.
 This can be no accident. It is due either to the fact that Tsar Fer, dinand considers he has no interests. other than the retention of Macedonia. upon which he would accept no de CisiOn except one forced upon him on the field of battle, or to the fact that the fox of the Balkans wishes later on to be able to say that he never treated this conference seriously and therefore. to be free to accept any policy which may then seem advis- able to him
 Coming to Turkey. the personali- ties of the delegates is again most significant for Germany cannot ig- nO0e the present and future attitudes of that country and at the same time realize her 'Mittel-EurOpa' scheme. Messing Pasha must be either Osman Miami Pssha. formerly Ottoman am bassadOr in Berlin. and a delegate at the London peace conference after the first Balkan war. or Nesim PaSha. who is a prominent diplOmstist and a member of the committee Of union pro gress- In either case he is an in fluential person
