JAPS HAVE SUGAR PLENTY
Far East Has Superabundance of the
Sweet Article.

Toxic, August 1.A[By Mail]-While
housewives of America and Europe
are suffering shortage of sugar,
those of the far east have super
abundance of the sweet. Toxic sugar
dealers are wroth for they fear the
product of the Japanese empire, is to
be driven off the market, or greatly
lowered in value, by sugar imported
from Java.
Java is at the bottom of the trouble.
With a smaller export demand than
usual it's centrifugal sugar has &C
cumulated into great stocks at
Batavia and Sourabaya, and conse-
quently prices there are down. This
week the prices have dropped from
1925 to 1910 a picul, (133 pounds)
SO that the present price at Batavia
for centrifugal sugar is about two and
la third cents pound. With higher
prices in Japan, it is to be expected
that sugar should flow this way. 1t
is being suggested in Toxic that
available space on ships plying from
Yokohama to San Francisco and
Seattle should be devoted to sugar on
the ground that it is not economy to
waste either ship space or fruit
available for canning.

EDITOR IS UP AGAINST
CHARCEBYU .S.OFf|CER
ALBERT STEINHAUSER, NEW
ULM, FACES ACCUSATION
Articles Published in New Ulm
Post Are Under Ban of
Government

Albert Steinhauser, editor and pub
Usher of The New Ulm Post, New
Ulm, Mimi, was arrested yesterday
at New Ulm by United States Deputy
Marshall Joseph Buisson and 'arraign-
ed before United States Commissioner
Samuel Whaley in st. Paul last night
on charge of having published
words intended to bring the American
form of government into contempt.
Alfred Jacques, United States district
attorney, caused the warrant to be is
sued
There are three counts in the
charge, all based on an article of
general news published in The New
Ulm Post June last. The other two
charges are those of bringing the
army and the navy, respectively, in
to scorn and contempt.
Quoted From Hun Papers.
Steinhauser is charged with pub
fishing the matter. 1t is not alleged
that he originated any of it, as the
news matter under fire is published
as quotations from various German
papers published on the other side of
the water.
Here are some bits from the .ong
article in question:
when the American speaks of
Prussian despotism it is bad joke.
In no other country on earth is there
such despotism or as many regula-
tons as in America No Prussian
and no German would put up with
such things in his own country. The
Americans are people ruled by
bosses, party leaders and newspapers.
From New York to San Francisco
| the people have the same pleasures
and the same silly jokes; manners
and unkultur and individualism is
| unwelcome." ~
He Cites Alleged Lynchings.
| Still quoting from German news
paper, The Post speaks of terrible
| lynchings and brutalities in the Amer
lean army and navy" and concludes,
"and these people want the world
free from Prussian despotism."
Quoting from The anti American
Vossische Zeitung, The Post says:
"The only heroic thing about Ameri-
ca is her big talk and big figures, but
! her help Tin the war; has been
microscopic. OF the 10000 airplanes
promised, only ten appeared on The
western front, and of her 3,00O,0 600
army, which was to have destroyed
Germany, only a few are helping ouS
/ in the entente ranks"
Steinhauser pleaded not guilty. He
waived examination and bond was
fixed at $4,000. He was unable to
furnish the bail and was remanded to
the county jail

bell is Reconnjzcd

London August 15.-[By MALL
The first woman to win the military
medal is Unit Administrator Mrs
Margaret A. Campbell Gibson.
She was in charge of a Waac camp
which was completely demolished by
bombs during an enemy air raid.
Throughout she directed the women
with courage and energy. With bombs
crashing all around she remained at
her post and prevented serious loss
of life.
The same award has been made
to five nurses.
An ammunition dump had been set
on fire by enemy bombs The only
available ambulance for the removal
of the wounded had been destroyed.
These nurses, in a neighboring
camp, heard of the disaster and drove
up with three ambulances, right into
the danger zone.
Despite risks arising from various
explosions they succeeded in re-
moving all the wounded to safety.

time at least. 1t is not known how
much longer the militiamen will be
there. The work of clearing UP the

for new buildings and caring for the
homeless is going forward very ra-
pidly.

hood of 200 volunteer guardsmen al
this work. Five tractors and man!
wagons are busy continuously clear
ing away the ruins and hauling ou1
debris. In this work Captain Allison
is particularly able to superinten(
the lob, due to his knowledge of con
struction work and is able to make
more progress with the men in da!
than inexperienced direction woult
