Resents Reports Quoting
Him as Saying Supply
Was Short
Ample Crops Assured
Cooperation with Allies He
Saws, Should Result in Prices
Lower than Last Years

Washington. June 4.-Herbert I
Hoover. who will be food administrator
under the bills pending in Congress
took notice to-day Of widely published
reports quoting him as saying the
sugar supply would soon be exhausted
and predicting outrageous prices.
The printed report was based on a
confidential conference Mr.. Hoover had
some time ago with Congressional com
mittees. Mr.. Hoover resented IT deep
" to-day as being unfair and very
likely to unnecessarily alarm con-
sumers.
81 have never made any statement
for publication upon tho subject oil
sugar whatever" said he. 81 did IN an
important conference state that unless
order was restored in Cuba we would De
short of sugar because of inability. 10
secure the harvest of the forthcomin
crop. Since that time action mas Deen
taken. and ample supplies are assured
not only from Cuba but from else
where. There will be no famine IN
sugar. and wish TO protest at the
repetition of partial discussions in pri-
vate conference, TO the wholly un-
necessary alarm of consumers. ,,,
"If the food administration bill
passes Congress and we receive the CO.
operation of our Allies in the pur-
chase of foreign sugar we should have
a lower range of prices on sugar in the
future than we have had in the last
wear"

Diplomats Look for
Compromise in China

Washington. June 4.-The revolution
i'm China is almost entirely political,
according 10 diplomats here familiar
with the situation, and they predict
compromise will be effected without
civil war.
one diplomat tonight pointed out
that the "rebels" are not fighting
against the entry of China into the
war against Germany, but are de-
telmined that this step shall not place
former Premier Tuan Chi-Jui in the
saddle. He has been the war leader
right along, and they fear the declara-
ton of war would virtually make him
dictator. as it would almost certainly
weaken tho President. who has been
against war during the entire aSita-
ton.
There are two other obvious com
pications. One is that the military
governors Of the provinces arc for war,
but they are for Tuan Chi-Jui also.
The South Chinese, under DR.. Sun, are,
besides the President, almost the only
element opposed to war. They COM
pose the peace-at-any-pric element.
A prediction that, despite the in
ternal political fights. China would
shortly abandon her position Of neu-
trality and enter the war, was made by
this diplomat.

MONKEYS LOVE FOR YOUNG
Mothers Practically Devote Entire
Lives to Their Babies and Fond
ness Knows No Bounds.

Monkeys are born in almost as help
less condition as are human beings.
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time in being nursed, in
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care
and attention Of the mother are most
exemplary. The slightest sound or
movement excites her immediate no
tice, and, with her baby In her arms,
she skillfully evades any approaching
danger by the most adroit maneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself,
but always under its mothers watch
full care. She frequently attempts to
teach 1t to do for itself, but never for
gets her solicitude for its safety, and
ut the earliest intimation of danger
seizes 1t in her arms and seeks place
Of refuge. When about six weeks old
the baby begins to need more substan-
tial nourishment than milk and is
taught to provide for itself. The moth
er's fondness for her offspring con-
tinues; she devotes all her time 20 it's
comfort and education, and, should it
meet with an untimely end, her grief
is so intense as frequently to cause her
own death.

Of the Hawaiian islands, as well as

for raw sugar. Ever since bags have
been used by the Hawaiian sugar
planters in exporting the raw product
from the islands to the mainland of
the United States, the Hindu bags,
which are made to contain 125 pounds
each, have proved to be satisfactory.
War conditions have caused the plant
ers to cast about for substitute.

Ancient EnuIish Tree.

There grows in the beautiful garden
Of the dowager counties Of Derby, in
England, an ancient oak tree which Is
said to be the oldest one in England.
The size Of the trunk of this vener-
able oak testifles to it's antiquity, but
on stone seat by its side is more d.
rect evidence. The seat bears tablet
recording that Wilberforce wrote in
his diary in 1888 that he well remem-
bered, after q conversation with Pitt,
and before descending int the Vale Of
Keston, sitting at the foot Of ian old
tree" and resolving to give notice In
the house of commons that he would
move the abolition of the slave trade.
The tree in question, which was
therefore good age $50 years ago, is
carefully preserved with zinc plates
where the damp might gather, and the
branches are held up with iron bars,
but 1t bears a goodly crop Of leaves,
and seems good for many years Of life.
