AND SUGAR WENT UP.

Just at the time when millions of housewives need plentiful quantities of sugar with which to preserve fruits, up goes the price.
 This is teh kind of patriotism to which we are subject to large ex- tent.
 Poor crops of cane sugar in Cuba are blamed; of course, something must be given as the reason for anything of the kind. It would appear that this IS {. late day in the season for the sugar people to discover that the Cuban crop was below par.
 For the last month or so sugar de- creased in price; suddenly it advances Just at the time it is needed most. The coincidence can not be explained by the Cuban sugar cane crop.

KEEPING GENIUS AT HOME.

It is said that Germany has adopted q new system in war, that of eXcusing self-evident or demonstrated genius in the arts and sciences from war service.
 If anything seems just, this is. It should be the good of all nations. If Mir. Edison were a young man, TOT ih- stance, it would be the rankest of folly to give him a gun and train him to be soldier. He can serve his country em- inently better by remaining at home and applying his genius to machinery.
 In the arts the same logic holds good. The world has not too many really great artists, and it would be foolish to kill them off when they could be given some necessary work that would not entail possible death.
 One of the worlds greatest violinists nearly died in the trenches. He Is Fritz Kreisler. He was in the Aus trian army for year, until lnvallded to freedom. He is now resident o1 America and charms thousands, Tn person and via the phonograph, and also is one of the finest composers on American soil today. To kill off a man like that lacks respect for CIV ilization.
 We are of the opinion that the war can be fought to finish without utli- izing a few hundreds of the world men of genius.

PEACE TERMS KNOWN
ACCORDING TO FORMER PRE-
MIER OF HUNGARY.
President Wilson Calls Col. House
for Conference on Latest
Developments.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Jan. 4.-Coincident 4.
with the receipt here of confidential
advices giving the broad outlines of
the entente reply to President Will
sons note proposing a discussion OF
peace terms, Col. E. NJ. House, the
Presidents friend and adviser, ar
rived at the White House. The col
onel's last visit was followed by the
dispatch of the Presidents note.
At the same time press dispatches
from London told of a speech by
Count julius Andrassy, former pre-
mier of Hungary, stating that the
central powers had given or would
give President Wilson a statement of
their peace terms, and that the en-
tente allies could obtain them from
him.
Officials at the White House and
the State Department would not dis
cuss these developments further than
to say definitely that no further move
on the part of the American govern
ment would be determined until the
entente reply was received. 1t was
said that the President still has his
mind open on the question.
1t was not disclosed whether the
administration considers that the un
favorable action of the entente has
left the way open for the confidential
exchange of terms between the op
posing groups of nations.
In view of the delicate nature OF
the negotiations, extreme secrecy is
being observed by the few officials
in close touch with the situation.
Both in Germany and entente cir
cles pessimism over the outlook was
expressed The President, however
was understood to think that the
moves already made will be helpful
ultimately, regardless Of the immedi
ate consequences.
Preliminary information received
here indicates that the entente note
| VII pay more attention to the Presi
| dents suggestion that means be
found for preserving peace in the fu
ture than did the reply of the centra
powers, which suggested postpone
ment of this question until after the
present war.
