The, European production has fallen
nearly onezhalf Since 1914 from s.
$4,000 tons to an estimated total
of 44,s14,0OO tons in 1867. There
have been no imports from the
principal producing countrjes-Ger-
many, Russia and Austria-Hungary
but European beet sugar never
played a very important part in the
sugar industry of the United
States. Before the tariff revision OF
1918 the American factories were
able to underbid the Germans IN
price; so the latter could not at.
ford to send us much. The Russian
beet sugar was practically barred
out by the customs rulings against
alleged payments of bonuses in thu
form of rebates. Any reduction Of
imports was more than compensated
by increased domestic production
For the doubling OF the price OF
sugar to consumers it is hard to fins
an honest reason.

LENGTH OF REVOLUTIONS

The London Observer calls atten-
ton to the fact that for its size and
significance. the Russian revo!u-
ton is one of the quickest and least
sanguinary on record. Six days
practically saw the end of it, where
as more than three years elapsed be-
tween the storming of the Bastile
and the proclamation OF the French
Republic. 1t took six days of barri-
cade fighting in 1880 to persuade
Charles y to abdicate; but Louis
PHILIPPE fled in 1913 after only two
though the subsequent state of siege
lasted four months.
England was 10 years in estab-
fishing commonwealth, and five
weeks sufficed to convince James II
that French soil was healthier for
him than English. The Italian Wars
of Liberation occupied most of 1860;
and the Instruction in which the
Greeks deposed King Ohio in 1852
was. over in, IA days. The quickest
revolution on record was that of
Portugal in 1910. which was over in
g day.

AMERICAN BEET SUGAR.

twenty-five years ago the sugar
produced in the United States from
homegrown beets amounted to little
over 100000 pounds. In 1909 the
quantity had increased to 1G5,0O0,OOO
pounds. Ten years ago. in 1905, the
output had grown TO G2G.OOO,O00
pounds and constituted 10 per cent.
of the sugar consumption of the
United States. In 1916 the produc-
ton Of beet sugar in this country
reached the total of 1.642 100000
pounds, approximately 20 per cent.
of the domestic consumption of
sugar. Since the outbreak of the
war and up to last year the number
of beet sugar factories in the United
States Increased by % per cent. In
1914 the capital invested in such fac
tories was over S142,O0O.000. and
S10.000,000 worth of factories are
under construction. The estimate
that the Investment in beet sugar
factories this year will reach $780,
100000, therefore, seems conserva-
tive.
The Philadelphia Record says
here ista wardrobe" that will COM
pare in plumpness with the best of
them. And she shares with The
others the characteristic of vorac-
:ousaess-witness. the retail price
for sugar of 10 cents pound. The
factories paid little more than ante
be!lum prices for beets. the rate last
year being IS a ton, with premium
for. extra high saceharine content.
That they got plenty of raw ma
terra! st the price named is shown
h. the immensely of their output.

BLOCKADING THE SUBMARINE.

Announcement from "a port in Eu-
rope" that ''the mines newly placed
the British in the war zone off the
German coast have recently been de-
stroying many submarines" and that
"these results have greatly hearten-
ed the British Admiralty" will be
received with mixed emotions OF
qualification and wonder on this side
the sea says the Richmond Times
Dispatch.
The qualification, of course, will
be that submarines in any consider
able number have been destroyed,
while the wonder will be Inspired by
the fact that the placing of these
mines has been so long delayed. To
the layman it has appeared obvious
that the place to check submarine
activities and destroy the subma-
rine menace was as near as posi-.
bic to their point of departure. Once
permitted to reach the ocean or the
North Sea, relatively little could be
done.
Germany must be blockaded COM
pletely, under the sea as we'll as on
the surface, and the allied navies
can have no higher function than
this. Mines, nets, patrol boats and
every other agency of destruction
SHOULD be used to accomplish this
purpose, for its accomplishment
would compensate for the loss of
great many ships Of war.

"BE SURE YOUR SIN WILL FIND
YOU OUT"

Among the warnings given the
Israelities by Moses while on the
way to the promised land was the
headline of this article. The Great
Teacher spoke on similar lines when
He said THAT which has been done
in secret shall be proclaimed upon
the housetops."
The proceedings in the Circuit
Court of Montgomery county at
present affords ample fulfillment OF
these words. Professor Charles Z.
Vawter is on trial for shooting and
killing Stockton Heth, Jr., for carry
ing. on a liason with his wife.
Mrs. Vawter was placed upon the
stand yesterday. Unlike promi-
nent member of royal family, who
is said to have lied like gentleman
VIXEN called upon to testify regard
ing an alleged intrigue, the woman
in the Vawter case averrcd she
would tell the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. Before
a densely-packed court room the
beautiful wife of Professor Vawter
told the story of her shame but she
averred that her acts of indiscretion
were committed while under the in
fluence Of liquor.
The great majority Of people who
violate the laws Of God and man as
sumo that their deeds are grave
yard secrets. But they are often
made as clear as the noon day sun.
as in the case of Mrs. Vawter and
her paramour.

A Suggestion.

u SSoSAoA''
We are all to have our gardens
In large or small yards back,
So of vegetables, fresh and green,
There sure will be no lack.
But don't you think, when we sl1
down
To eat our garden stuff.
Well look around and sigh and say
It certainly is rough.
To have no middling, ham or JOSH
In old Virginia style,
And We'll never cease to wonder,
If twill be long, long while.
Now I think l have remedy
For this so dreadful state,
IT'S by cooperation,
We've heard so much of late.
Let each householder buy pig
And have public pen,
Far away down OH the creek shore,
With someone paid to tend.
And then when want approaches,
We would have our meat and kale,
To keep our health up to the notch
And not grow thin and pale.

WILL WAR ON U-BOATS
U. S. and Her Allies Map New cam
paign TO End Menace.

America and her allies in the war
against Germany will attempt to bot
tie IN the Teuton U-boats at their
bases. and thus end the submarine
menace. This undoubtedly has been
one of the most important, if not the
most important, result of the confer
ences between the British and french
missions and officials of the United
States government. The allies have
reached the conclusion that the best
method Of dealing with the SUBJ
marines is to destroy them at tneif
bases, instead of attempting to do so
after they have taken to the high seas.
An extraordinary campaign VIII
consist in massing mines, nets ana
swarms of patrol boats between ship
wards where the U-boats are COLI
structed and the open sea. This line
would have front Of 125 miles. Eng
land once before considered this plan
but it was never contaminated. 1t is
said that not only Great Britain but
all of her allies, including the United
States, has now become convinced that
this method has the greatest promise
of success of any suggested. No IN
vention has been brought out when
gives promise Of combating under
sea craft.
Another plan said to be under way
is to convert big oil tankers into
grain ships. None of these vessels
have been sunk because of their unu-
sual bulkhead construction, and
where they were torpedocd have
managed to keep afoat.

MAKE WAY FOR LIBERTY"

The neroism and great sacrifices
made by our northern neighoors, the
Canadians, in the war Of civilized ma
lions against the Hohenzollerns Will
90 down in history with the valiant
actions of those of by-gone days.
In the smashes against the German
war machine now being made by
General Haig the Canadians take
prominent parts. Yesterday they
wrested Fresnoy from the grip OF
the Teutonic invaders.
The example of the Canadians
should spur our own country into
activity at this time. Thousands OF
these people have been sacrificed IN
the battles in northern France, but
the Canadians are as determined as
ever and are still playing prominent
parts in that theatre Of war.
The Canadians were quick to re-
spond when their mother country
was threatened by the Kaiser, and
they are in war to remain until the
end.
Canada and the United States are
the offspring of one common parent.
Both realize that the present war is
to determine whether the English
speaking of Teutonic races are to
dominate this world. II is war for
liberty, and all lovers Of freedom
are called upon to vie in the destruc-
ton of German autocracy. DR.
Kamepft, President of the German
Reichstag, in a speech before that
BODY Wednesday said Germany was
battling for the perpetuation of
kaiserism.
The story of Arnold Won Winkelreid
has often been told 1t should be
repeated, however, for the benefit Of
the present generation, especially at
this time.
We are told how, at a critical
moment in the great battle Of Sem
pach, when the Swiss had failed to
break the serried ranks of the Aus
TRAN knights, a man Of INTERVAL
den, Arnold Won Winkelreid by name,
came to the rescue. Commencing
his wife and children to the care of
his comrades, he rushed towards the
Austrians, gathered a number of
their spears together agains! his
breast, and crying make way for
liberty" fell pierced through and
through. He had opened a way into
the hostile ranks for his fellow
countrymen, though at the price of
his own life.
The AuStrians are standing now
with their serried ranks. There are
many Arnold Won Winkelreids in the
allied ranks, but none more deserv-
ing inches in the hall of fame than
our northern neighbors.
