GERMAN HAVOC.

I'VE may be thankful" Won Hin
denburg tells his Germans, that the
war in the form it has assumed has,
on the whole, been spared in our
home territory
1t is hardly necessary 10 elUcid~t3
The meaning Of that phrase. "jhe form
the war has assumed 1t is, as the
world knows, the form that the war
has been given by the Germans, whom
civilization now agrees in calling
Huns. and who might more properly
he described Vandals.
The great retreat of recent weeks
has only added to the sad tale OF
German wrought destruction. Hither-
to there has been nothing in modern
history comparable to the havoc
wrought by the German army last
year when it fell back to the linden
burg line and, in so doing, made a
desert of Picardy. That devastation
has been repeated now wherever the
German troops have been able to ac-
complish (which is to say, wher-
ever they were not driven back too
quickly to give them a chance to loot
burn, rae, lombard and blast as they
desired.
1t has been a revelation to the
American army. Our troops have
gazed in amazement at the long
stretches of once beautiful country
side laid waste, farmhouses burnt
woods and orchards leveled bridges
destroyed roads blown up. wells and
springs polluted and every habitable
place or everything once useful for
human purposes ruined and defiled.
The destruction. as usual, has not
been at all confined to military meas
ures. The city Of Ham. situated on
an island and without military value
when once its bridges had been blown
up, was Systematically burned to the
S.ound by incendiary bombs discharg,
ed by great system Of electric wires.
Montididier was razed. Noyon, though
many buildings still stand, is almost
a complete ruin Town after town

Cuban Sugar Arriving in
U.S.Will Relieve Shortage
and Bring Down Prices

That the price of nine to nine-and-
one-half cents a pound Tor loose
granulated sugar will prevail during
the year 1918 is the assurance given
to-day by wholesale firms in Harris
burg. Their conviction is based on
the order of the United states Gov
ernment, which is peremptory, though
the prices will not be universal, prob
ably until thirty or sixty days from
now. This declaration is looked upon
by wholesalers as direct slap at
housewives and others who have
been buying sugar at ten cents u
pound and boarding 1T.
DO not hoard sugar" is the urgent
demand from all persons dealing in
the necessity. all persons who have
the good of the country at heart.
1t is useless to hoard sugar, say
the wholesalers, because instead of
paying ten cents a pound for 1T the
price is now bound to come down. The
fact of the matter is that in this ter
ritory there has been no shortage of
sugar, for about 80 per cent. more has
been distributed this year than in
1916, for the period of three months.
Sugar is now coming from Cuba in
great quantities. Cuban canes is the
grocers' term for this commodity. The
United States Government dictates to
the refiner what he shall pay for this
and what lie shall charge. The re-
taller is allowed a reasonable profit,
and he will be able to keep that profit
within sixty days by selling his
sugar at nine or nine-and "a half
cents per pound.

New York, Jan. 1O.-(Wall Street,
Moderate gains in shippings, equip
ments and some of the less active
war issues at the opening of to-day's
stock market were counterbalanced
by small recessIons in United States
Steel. Bethlehem Steel and American
Telephone, Motors, Oils, Tobaccos
and specialties were irregular, Sears,
Roebuck gaining three points. There
was only a limited inquiry for rails
at nominal changes. Liberty 3 Y S
were steady, with slight shading of
the As.
The market lapsed into extreme
dullness after the first hour, the
trend becoming more irregular espe-
cially in prominent war issues. Re-
actions in steels, motors and oils ran
from l to points. Shippings and a
few equipments were striking eX-
ceptions, gaining l to 21a points
Similar advances among minor spe-
cialties including linseed preferred,
National Enamelling and United
Cigar Stores reflected poor activities.
