A gentleman had been celebrating

he had been doing for a few mo-

along and, tapping him on the shout

"Here, you must get along home

Twenty Million Tons Of Food.

OF the world total, North America
will furnish more than 60 per cent
The United States, including the West
Indies, will be called upon to furnish
100000 tons of food of all kinds as
compared with our pre-war exports of
about 100000 tons.
While we will be able to change our
program IN many respects, even
casual survey of the world supplies
in comparison TO world demands shows
concluslvely that Europe will know
famine unless the American people
bring their home consumption down
to the barest minimum that will main
tain health and strength.
There are conditions of famine In
Europe that will be beyond our power
to remedy. There are 100000 peo-
pie In North Russia whom there is
small chance of reaching with food
this winter. Their transportation is
demOralized In complete anarchy, and
shortly many of their ports will be
frozen, even If internal transport
could be realized.
To Preserve Civilization.
At this moment Germany has not
alone sucked the food and animals
from all those masses of people she
has dominated and left starving, but
she has left behind her a total wreck
age of social institutions, and this
f, mass Of people is now confronted with
absolute anarchy,
II we value our own safety and the
social organization of the world, If we
value the preservation Of civilization
itself, we cannot permit growth of this
cancer In the worlds vitals.
Famine is the mother of anarchy.
From the inability of governments to
secure food for their people grows
revolution and chaos. From an ability
10 supply their people grows stability
of government and the defeat of an
archy. Did we put 1t on no higher
plane than our interests In the pro
lection OF our institutions, We must
bestir ourselves In solution Of this
problem

AUSTRIA IS INNOCENT
Baron Burian B|ames Allies for
ProIonging War.
Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister
Suggests That Beiligerents
Exchange Views.

Amsterdam, Sept 11-According to
a Vienna dispatch, an exchange of
views between the Central powers and
the Allies was tentatively suggested
by Baron Burian, Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, in an address to Wis.,
iting German newspaper men.
I'VE are oppressed by the same
cares but we are not downhearted.
You can convince yourself here that
we, just as in Germany, with head
erect and without fear or arrogance,
are waging a defensive war, rejecting
all responsibility for the prolongation
thereof which was criminally and
quite uselessly forced upon us by the
enemy.
"No party can be sure of the issue
until the end of the war, but it is not
to be expected that either party should
renounce the possibility Of a military
victory"
Such a discussion, explained the for
eign minister, need not take the form
of peace negotiations, but would have
as it's purpose the consideration of all
things which are keeping the belliger-
ent powers apart.

PREPARING NEW DEFENSES
Germans Rushing Completion of Four
Strong Lines.

Paris, Sept. 11.-There are three
German lines of defense behind the
Hindenburg line, the first closely
paralleling it and the others providing
for retreats along wide fronts, &C
cording to an outline of the German
defense system printed by the Matin.
The first line in the rear of the Hin
denburg position, according to the pa
per, starts from south of Lille and
parallels the Hindenburg line at an
average of from three to six miles.
The second comprises line running
from Lille to Metz, the intermediary
points on which the newspaper does
not Indicate This line would be about
$50 miles long.
Finally, the newspaper adds, there
is fourth line, on which the Ger
mans are now vigorously working. 1t
runs from Valenciennes, 20 miles east
Of Douai, in a southeasterly direction
to Giyet, on the Mouse at the Belgian
border. The front thus indicated ex-
tends for about so miles.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
in Rigid War Economy
Practiced

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German Austrian crops, as well as the
,neutrals, the u. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
1917-101S is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess Of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half OF
the world cane crop, and the Sava sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
.ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java q large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the POSSIBLE
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
WELD Of beet sugar is now only 29.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break Of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 1925 tons of
sugar each year. For 1917-18 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With GIL factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1917-1S
than in 1861 when the total output
was 2O2,415 tons.
Italy in 1918 produced 100000
tons of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
Rod.
One Of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service The
yield per acre amounted to. approx
mately half of the usual quantity of
beetS harvested.
