The United States IS the world g
greatest consumer Of sugar, despite the
fact that the per capita consumpti on
has decreased about ten percent as the
result Of the high prices, A eompila-
ton by the National City Bank Of New
York shows that the consumption Of
sugar in the United States for the fiscal
year 1917 was but eighty-two pounds
per capita against eighty mine pounds
in 1914 1.-THE year preceding the war;.
The total quantity consumed in 1917
was, however, eight and one half bill
lion pounds. and we also exported one
and one-quarter billion pounds, or TWEEN
ty-fve times as much as in the year be-
fore the war.
The compilation shows that the
world 3 sugar production is now about
twelve percent below that Of the year
preceding the war. Beet sugar prOdue.
ton in Europe has fallen forty three
percent, but cane production in the trop-
les has increased about twenty five per
cent. The beet sugar of Europe, which
was eighteen and one.half billion
pounds in the sugar year 1878, was
but nineteen and one half billion pounds
in 1907, and the world cane produc-
tiOht hHiNH. NhSa4 Dttle more Inau
twenty billion pounds in 1928, was
over twenty-five billion pounds in 1916.
II; world production Of cane and beet
sugar in 1894 was forty-two billion
pounds; in 1857, thirty-seven billion
pounds. Beets produced one-haif Of
the worlds sugar prior to the war, but
in 1851 supplied only one,third Of
the world 3 total.
Rapid Production Increase
In the United States and its island
possessions there has been rapid in
crease in production. In every one of
the sugar areas under the American
1ag-Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philip
pines, and the cane and beet fields of
continental United States--there has
been a marked increase, the aggregate
product Of these areas having grown
from about four billion pounds in 1912
ID to practically five billion pounds in
191617. The share of our consumption
drawn from foreign countries has fallen
from seyenty-fve percent in 1897
cent in 1917. I'll .
Heaviest Consumer
In consumption of sugar the United
States stands at the head of the list
Of the world countries, our total con
sumption being eight and one-half bill
hon pounds in the fiscal year 1917
against approximately FIVE billions in
Germany, FIVE billions in the United
Kingdom and Awo billions in France,
the figures for the European countries
being those for normal years. Our per
capita consumption, however, is less
than that of certain other countries,
Depmark's consumption being ninety.
three pounds per capita, England nine
W, United States eighty-two, Germany
seventy five, Norway and Sweden sixty,
Netherlands seventy three, France for.
~, Russia thirty, Spain fifteen and
Italy ten. About twenty-five percent
of our consumption is drawn from our
own fields, twenty seven percent from
our islands and forty-eight percent
from foreign countries, chiefly Cuba.
The value Of the sugar entering CONT
mental United States was, in the fiscal
year 1914, 5,OOO,OOO and in 1917,
$34S, 100000, the average import price
per pound (including that from the is
lands), having been in 1914 two and

Mining Notes

The Prince William Sound Water, Power, Light x Telephone Co. have moved several large transformers across the bay to the Granby mine, where they will be installed A com plete electrifcation of the plant will be made.
 Judge Milton, of Teller, in the Nome district, says there is consider able prospecting going on in that To- cality, but very little active pOduc- tive mining
 4 survey of the mining in this dis trict shows that prospecting during the winter has been greatly scattered. Like last year there are good num- Der still taking out large and small dumps on Center creek and Dexter, A noticebale improvement for the bet ter k on the Submarine. Several are lined up on a new channel and with nothing very rich in sight will prob ably take out fairly good dumps. The old third beach line centering around the Diamond l. has had lots of notice this winter, but outside the Diamond l. itself no very great improvement is noticeable. Close by the Scandia, Bo- lander is drifting and is in what is considered fair pay. Lindberg X Hager are sinking on the Bessie with results unknown so far Between the Bessie and Little creek one outfit is doing work on the Mabel bench, while on the Three Star Sutherland and partners are making good headway. There are about the same number of wage workers employed as last year Nome Industrial Worker)
 The He'd brothers will increase their staff on the Whale bench, in the Nome district. where they are now we'll equipped for extensive operations.
 Harry Grant is taking out the first dump on the Casadepaga claim at Nome, and is reported to be doing ex- ceedingly we'll
 Fifty degrees below zero, heavy winds and a shortage of wood have combined to make the life of the min ing fraternity at Brooks anything but pleasant and has delayed mining ac- tivities considerably.

TEUTONS BAG 20 BRITISH PLIERS
 EVERY I DAYS

LONDON,-(Speciall-James Ian McPhersou, parliamentary secretary to the under-secretary of state for war, replying in the house of com mons March l5 to a question voicing criticism of the British air service, and suggesting that the British no longer maintain the mastery of the air on the western front, said:
 We are satisfied with our best type of flying machines at the front. Some machines which are not up to standard are being replaced as rapily as possible"
 The average air casualties for the last six weeks, Mr. McPherSon said, had been, per week: Killed, 7.6; wounded, S.3, and missing, 4.2.
 "The situation in the air he con tinued, "has not yet been decided. During the winter all the belligerents endeavored to improve and to increase their air services. With the advent of good weather, severe contests must be experienced before definite superiority is achieved.
 "In one respest the British always have been superior to the Germans, namely. in the amount of work per formed by the flying corps for the army. The situation is very similar 10 that which obtained in the same period last year when the Germans rested and reinforced after the win ter. put up serious opposition and only after severe fighting was the British superiority established.
 "This year the German cOncentra- ton appears to be on the front of the British. The move probably is con nected with the German retirement. Achievements are continually being sent to the front, and there is every reason for hope that the British again will assert their superiority"

NAVY LEAGUE NEWS

That German intrigues against
property and stations of the United
States Navy in this country must
still be carefully guarded against
! is shown by a case which is now be
fore the Department of Justice,
says a statement issued here today
at Navy League Headquarters.
In a southern city with a popula-
ton Of about 10000 people, says
this statement there is colony Of
German subjects who recently pc
titioned the Government, through
the Department Of Justice. to waive
certain Of the restrictions placed up
on them as to their residence in fix
ed zones.
These restrictions prevent alien
enemies from living or going within
a certain distance Of any Naval
Station or ship.
The petition from the Germans of
the southern city, mentioned above,
was so phrased on its face that it
appeared to be an entirely harmless
request. Federal officials in the
South were inclined to grant it. The
petition was, however, referred to
Washington. An investigation prov
ed that there was on foot scheme
to place certain German agents close
to the Navy Yard where consider
able mischief might then be done
It has now been decided that, not
only will the areas from which these
Germans are barred not be limited
or reduced, but that increased sur
VIGILANCE over every movement will
be maintained.
The belief is expressed here that
had this request been granted, it
was the intention of alien enemies in
other cities to make similar re-
quest, and that in the end serious
harm might have resulted.
