NEW YORK, Oct 2-The sugar beet crop of the United States for this year shows an estimated increase CT 31S,62l tons over that of 1917, but the general coalition of the crop on August l was below that of the. zen year average, the federal food board announced here to- day
 The estimate for 1918 is 6.359 GOO tons. compared with 5,9S0,379 last year. The crop condition as given by the boards statement was SS.6 where as the ten year average is 91.
 Coolrado, which supplied nearly one third of the nations sugar beet crop last year, is expec,eG to produce 1,490,- 900 short tons instead Of the 1857, ,649 tons grown in 1917 California, where 27 per cent of the American supply was grown last year, also shows de- crease, the estimate being 1,041, GOO tons against 1881, ,54S.

MAKING PLANS FOR AN
 ADJOU R N N FEN I
WILL TAKE THREE DAY REcESSES EGINNING THIS WEEK AND HOPE TO ADJOURN OVER ELECTION TIME
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Plans for suspension of congress over the No vember elections were revived today by congressional leaders, after a sur very of the senate and house legis- lative calendars.
 The seven billion dollar army emer- gency appropriation bill, now before the house military committee, the em- ergency power bill, passed yesterday by the house, the conference report on the emergency agricultural bill with its war time prohibition rider, pend ing before both houses, and formali- ties in the senate of laying aside the woman suffrage resolution were listed for preferential consideration.
 Democratic and republican leaders in the house reached a tentative agree ment today to suspend the house next Friday and begin a series of three day recesses until October 14, when it is planned to take up the army ap- prcpriation measure. Prompt passage of the bill by both houses seemed as sured and it was expected that by Oc- tober 20 congress could adjourn for a month ever the elections. In the mean time, the senate was expected to pass the power bill and both houses act on the agricultural measure. The wOm- an suffrage resolution will come be- fore the senate tomorrow on the mo- ton of Chairman Jones of the wom- an suffrage committee for reconsider ation of the 53 to 31 vote by which it was lost yesterday. The motion. however, probably will not be pressed to 8 vote until after the elections.
 Although leaders are certain that both senate and house virtually can suspend work by the three day recess plan, the new proposal for a month s recess from about October 20 to No vember 20 is dependent upon progress made by the senate finance commit tee in revising the war revenue bill
 Chairman Simmons of the commit tee today changed his estimate of com, pleting the measure in three weeks and said considerable longer time would be required Majority leader Martin said tonight that after the i'm perative pending measures are passed he could see no reason why congress should not recess until the finance committee is ready to report the rev enue bill, with prospects that this will not be until after the elections.

Catron of Santa Fe county, was late today chosen permanent chair man of the republican state conven- tion which assembled here for the pur- pose of nominating state ticket to- day. The gathering did little during the day except listen to the keynote address delivered by H. O. Bmsom, temporary chairman, who was gwen an ovation as he took the stand.
 Mr Bursom's address was devoted largely to a defense of the record of United States Senator A. B. Fall and of republican officials in New Mexico, who were made the subject of bitter attacks in the democratic platform. lie made a plea for a republican congress, declaring such a body was needed for the most efficient prosecution of the war. His references to Theodore Roosevelt were cheered to the echo.
 Chairman Catron's address was ce- voted to an analysis of the national situation and his views of the vital need of a republican congress to carry on the war to a successful conclusion
 United States Senator Albert h.. Fall was renomnated by exclamation by the republican tsate convention ct g o'clock tonight. He was placed in nomination by Herbert B. Holt of Las Cruces and received a prolonged uva- tion which was the notable feature Of the convention.

INVESTIGATION OF EeED SUGAR VIOLATIONS IS MADE BY FOOD AUTHORITIES AND EXPLANATION is MADE

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. Oct. Com plctc vind:cS-0n of H. F. Hilton, Will liam Huliey, John Geldart and five ether residents Of Bisbee and vicinity charged with individual sugar hoard ing, is the result of a recent hearing held before Robert Rae. food admin istrator for Cochise county, the find ings of which were approved today by Timothy A. RiOrdan, federal food administrator for Arizona
 In an investigation of eight alleged sugar repeater cases in BisDee and Lowell. government inspectors ascer- laircd that these persons had obtained their supplies Of table sugar from a local concern. and then purchased sugar for canning from a Chicago mail order house. This apparent subterfusc was explained to the satisfaction or oificia by the statement that pur- chases from the outside had been made because of the representation that the sugar wac of @ finer grade and better adapted to canning pUr- poses In each case proof was given that the sugar had been purchaser uu- der an application for permit
 The findings Oi the fOCd admiuistra- tor state. It would appear from the above that there was no intention by any ore of the individuals to violate the regulations of the United States
 tod administration They all had been in the habit of doins their busi- ness through mail order houses, and inasmuch as they all signed appiI- cations, this would seem to substan- tiate the claim that they had no in tentOa of violating regulations.
 However, 1t does appear that they carried sugar in their houses for go considerable time. but the mere fact that they did not use it for other puT- poses than that for which they pur. chased it, seems to be clearly demon
 trated by that fact'
 Commenting on these cases the fed era. food aministrator said: Tt Is gratifying to note that these parties ver2 all entitled 70 sugar wlich they purchased from the Chicago mail or der house, together with that which they purchased from the Bisbee mer- cgntile concern although there were certain facts and circumstances in con uc-ti3n with the cases which naturally aroused suspicion and therefore jus tried the investigation that has just been completed"

WHAT THE HINDENDURG LINE REALLY IS.

The celebrated Hindenburg line or Siegfried line. barring the allies road to Berlin. has been compared by the German leaders to the great wall of China. Until the British broke it in the spring of 1917 they believed it i'm pregnable to assault as was once the Chinese wall and regarded it as the eighth wonder of the world.
 The Hindenburg line us generally defined is about sixty miiej long. run ming in @ general north and south di rectiOn across the Picardy in France. Its northern extremity was guarded by the heavily fortified bastin of Vimy Ridge and by the mining city of Lens whose underground corridors and chambers long have barred the BTi- tish The southern end Of the Hin denblrg line, proper, is in the vicinity Of La FeTe or Laon. That end is pro tected in part by the forest of St. Go- bain and the Qualifications around Laon.
 Between Viny Ridge on the north and La Fere on the south Inc line passes west of Gambrai and St. Quen- tin so as to protect those two in.- portaIt industrial and railway centers which are routes for bringing up sup plies for the German army.
 Some war correspondents describe the German line as continuing south eastward from La Fere to the Aisne river and Rheims following the line of the Chemin Des Danes. They call that part of tue line southeast of La Fere the Alberich line. This would add about fOrtylive miles. making a total length of more than 100 miles Generally, however. the Hindcn0urg line has been described as running only from Vinsy Ridge to La Fere.
 Fearing thatsthe northern end of the line might be turned the Germans es- tabiished a switch" line connecting with the Hindenburg line at Queant and running north about twenty-five miles to Drocourt They called this switch the Wotan line.
 The northern end of the Hindenburg line and the Wotan line both have been broken more than once by the British armies and both are now in possession of the British armies. Long ago the Germans lost Vimy Ridge and haev failed to retake it.
 The Hindenburg line is a trench but a system of field Notifications In places it is said to be ten miles deep consisting fot only of the trench sys- tenn but of multiple lines of barbed wire entanglepfents, concrete positions for artillery. deep dugouts capable of housing a battalion of troops, numer-

 three sides by the French. and the swift development of an attacking line along the flank of the withdrawal seems imminent
 Already the Germans have given up the high ground just northwest Of P e.ms that hes been their center of resistance on hat front The French ow face them for some distance along the Rheims-LaOn road with open ground at the Germans back Incl deutally another pocket is developing just east of Rheims that fhe enemy cannot disregard and extension of the withdrawal to this sector appears a logical process.
 It will cause little surprise here if a wholly new assault developed within the next day or two with the French striking directly northward from Rheims and the lines east of that place Co a junction with the advancing French army west of the ArgOnne. The open ground through which the Ger man retirement must carry them looks attractive to many observers as the -cene If nossible open warfare with the odds all on Marshal Focllsl side.
 The situation on the Bele1ffn coast brings up again the old suggestion of @ flank attack by sea. There was some specu ation tonight as to wheth- CT it might not prove possible to force landing and assault the enemy in the rear as reports said the German ssaccast bltteries were being with drawn.
