SOME SUGAR FIGURES.

Frank G.. Carpenter. the tourist newspaper writer and a

acres of land devoted to sugar cane for making sugar and about
the same amount cultivated in beets for sugar. Cuba produces
more sugar than any other part OF the world, its crop In 1916
being g. 900, OOO, 900 pounds, while India at the same time raised
5000, OOO. 900 and Java $500, O0O,0 900. 1t is stated that Java

gar users in the world. our annual consumption having run to
about 4 OF. per day or 80 pounds per year. The French are Ev-
ing on Fl pounds per year and the English and Italians have not
more than that. Mr.. Carpenter says that we spent enough for
candy in 1917 To buy food for Belgium for one year and that
the sugar used in confectionery making in the United States
amounts to 800. 600, 900 pounds. We are spending as much
for our candy Is we do for butter. and one third as much as we
snend for our -four. In view of the fac. that sweets are said to

LINGO PRESS OF
 JAPAN FAILS 10
 STIR SENTIMENT

Tokyo, Friday, April 12-(By the Associated Press) - The Japanese press and public are not greatly con- cerned over the situation that has brought about the landing of Japan csc and British forces ins Vladivostok. The jingo clements efforts have fallen flat The anti-government newspapers have seized the opportunity but have been unable to make headway.
 The Nichi Nichi Shimbun says the Russian people probably soon will un- derstand Japan's true motives more fully The Kokumin Shimbun gives a warning against snap judgment calcu- lated to cause trouble. It expresses the belief that the Bolsheviki do not intend to attempt to drive away from Vladivostok the landing forces of friendly nations, peacefully guarding life and property from the mob.
 Some effort has been made to create distrust of Americas motives. but government officials, being inter- viewed, say there is no basis for such feling and that the United States join ed Great Britain and Japan in repre- sentations to Russia regarding the sit uation in Vladivostok and would her self have landed troops in similar cir cumstances. The United States, they say, is merely observing the princi- pie of non-interference unless abso- lute necessity arises.

REVISE ENEMY
 TRADING LISTS

Washington, April 20-A revised enemy trading list, containing more than 5000 names and for the first time including enemy firms in the neutral countries of Europe, was is- sued today by the war trade board It was established in conjunction with Great Britain and France, to unify the efforts of the Allies to keep their products from reaching the enemy.
 Italy has accepted the list in prin- ciple.
 The number of firms listed as ene-
 mics in South America was slightly
 reduced from previous lists. after in vestigation disclosed that the claims of many firms that they were neutral were Justified. It was said, however, 1 that many of the firms that probably i deserved to be listed as enemy agents | were not on the list, because actual | proof of their German connections
 was lacking. Extreme care is taken | in licensing ships to them, however, to see that they obtain nothing of 1 value to the enemy.

FAMILIES ARE
 DRIVEN FROM
 HOME BY FIRE
Saturday, April 20

Nearly a dozen and a half persons were routed from their beds at four o'clock this morning when fire broke cut in the three family house at 1885, 1S7 and 1S9 Capitol avenue. Scores of persons in the neighborhood were charmed when the flames shot through the roof and flocked to the street in their night clothes in company with the inmates of the burning building. The prompt arrival on the scene of Engines and along with Truck ? and Chemical 1, allayed the fears of locality and after twelve minutes the fire was out. The damage is estimat- ed at $1,200.
 According to the report of Fire Chief Johnson, the fire started in some unknown way on the second story of the tenement and spread through the walls to the roof, which was the most damaged. It is not known who discovered the fire first, but soon the entire house was in an uproar and Thomas Gill, who resides on the top floor with his family, got his wife and children to the street and safety.
 Martin J. Kelley, his wife and fam fly who occupy the second floor, were also safely in the street when the ap- | paratus arrived, as was R. E. Raven l and family, who occupy the first floor. l All of the victims were taken care of l and sheltered by kindly neighbors and l their greatest loss was from falling plaster and water. Out of the three tenants occupying the house Thomas 1 Gill was the only one who was not covered by insurance, all the others are amply protected.
 The building, which is valued al s7, ,5OO is owned by Samuel FTieze- burg, of S96 Madison avenue, and is insured for $5,C00. In a statement made by Chief Johnson today, he said that the roof was a total loss, but that the rest of the damage was caused by chemical and water.

CANNOT COUNT
 ON UkRAINIAN
 FOOD SUPPLIES

New York, April 2o-No essential relief for food conditions in Germany may be expected from Ukraine dur ing the present economic year, said Privy Councillor Won Eynern of the state food commission, in discussing the food supply situation at meet ing in Berlin, according to the Co., logne Gazette of March 21, a copy of which has been received here. Ger many, he added must continue to save and husband food as hereto fore.
 The importation of the supplies that may be available in Ukraine, Won Eynern declared, is conducted with great difficulties and no extensive imports can be counted on before June. Even then the fact must be considered that transportation possi- bilities by rail will be on a narrow scale and the capacity of the Danube waterway also will be limited.

PREPARED BIC
 DRIVE WHILE
 TALKING PEACE

London, April 20-Before the pres ent German offensive began German officers in neutral country were pre- pared to wager that the Germans would succeed in dividing the forces of the Allies within a fortnight, Lord Robert Cecil, minister of blockade, declared in a speech last night in Hitchin.
 "A month has passed and the Ger mans have not succeeded" he con- tinued, but we would be wickedIy foolish if we believed the battle had ended. We have an indefinite period of terrible and strenuous struggle be- fore us We must not under-rate our enemy, who has had the great advantages of 50 years of prepara- ton for war, favorable geographical position and united commando
 Lord Robert did not think the enc mys formidable advantage would de- eide the battle in his favor, but the Allies must not come under the sway of too easy optimism. ~- The minister of blockade referred to the revelations of Prince Lichnow- sky, former German ambassador to London, and other proofs showing Germany was absolutely unchanged since she tried to lull the world to sleep by talk of peace, at the same time planning this attack. Since the battle has begun nothing has been heard but talk of German annexa- tions, indemnities, increase in the power of the German military caste and the slavery of the rest of the world.
