In various ways the effects of the
war are being felt in Clearwater and
Pinellas county. At present the pros
pect of securing full corps of teachers
for the county schools seem gloomy
Pinellas schools lead those of a. 9TH
.er counties in the state for exc Fence.
The school buildings are better, and
the greatest care has been used in the
selection of teachers. This year the
school board is having difficulty in
finding sufficient number Of good
teachers. In several instances good
teachers have accepted places in the
schools only to give them up for high
er salaries elsewhere. This is a re-
suit of the war; for, whereas in the
pre-war period teaching was one of
the few pleasant occupations for wom-
en-, the progress of the war has re-
suited in opening new occupations for
women, and the salaries paid are al
Turing; hence the difficulty in securing
such teachers as the Pinellas board
would be satisfied with. The board
may be trusted, however, to fill all va
cancies before the time for the schools
| to open-Clearwater Sun.

Dear Sir:
So many of our people don't under
stand present difficulties.
It's so hard to explain them without
your help.
We've always had your able cooper
alton and we hesitate to make fur
ther request of special nature, for
we know that you, too, have been
struggling against odds which seem
to accumulate with each fresh burst
of resistance on your part. We don't
like to offer you lot of matter and
ask that it be run, in the face of our
knowledge that you have been asked
to curtail the size of your paper
which means cutting down space.
But this sugar thing is of such great
importance to every one of your read
fers, we're throttling our conscience

Ii it wasn't for the fact that we
gratefully acknowledge that the great
success of the united States Good ad-
n1inistration was due to the wonderful
support given by the newspapers, and
for the further fact that having been
the main bearing" in this success.
the newspapers must, and of a right
should be, proud of what has been ac-
complished, we wouldn't have the
nerve to ask more.
At the same time, if we hesitateG
to ask, We might BE- accused of mis-

SUGAR QUESTIONS NO. L.

L. Where does America get hei
sugar?
Cuba-nlore than one-half.
Sugar beet production in the Unit.
, ed States-one-sevent
| Hawaii-one-eighth.
Louisiana-one twentieth.
Porto Rico, the Philippines, miscel-
laneous sources-the remainder.
2. Where did the Allies formerly
get sugar?
France, Italy and the Low Coun-
tries raised their own.
England received more than one
half from the Teutonic empires. i'm
ported largely from Java,and got a
little from the British West Indies.
3. Where do the Allies now get
their sugar?
The Central powers as a source are
cut off. Production in Italv and
France is only about one-third what it
was before the war. They must de-
pend very largely now upon American
sources of supply.
A. Are there no supplies of sugar
in the East Indies?
There are quantities of sugar in
Java and some in other islands; but
ships can not be spared for trips to
Java while sugar can be obtained else
where by one-third the haul.
;. Why is there need to conserve
sugar now in this country?

The Rambler visited Tarpon
Springs the other evening, arriving
before dark so that the city could be
seen during rapid drive over it. 1t
was the Rambler's first visit to that
town of which he has read and heard
SO much and the ads of the city have
not exaggerated its charms and at
fractions. The water front is fascin-
atlng but the fishermen have the sug-
gestion of being pirates and it makes
stranger uneasy to go into the
Greek quarter. The Greeks are as
good citizens as any in the countr,
and really obey the laws remarkabl,
"ell but they are rough in appear
ance and their big mustaches and
whisk2rs give them an appe arancl
that IS apt 10 be terrifying. The city
of Tarpen Springs is well laid ou
and there are many beautiful homes
especially on the bayou where the BIS
spring bubbles out of the salt water
And the Tarpon Springs guard com
pany is made up of fine locking

in the military work and are irving
hard to learn to be good soldiers.

city a story that '1400 deserters are
imprisoned in a stockade at Camp
Merritt"
Camp Merritt is not a permanent
camp, The soldiers leaving from the
port of New York pass through it, to
the number of 5000 month. Many
of them, strangers in New York, over
stayed their passes and Were charged
with being absent without leave.
These men were punished by being
imprisoned in a camp stockade. They
were not deserters and were not
charged with desertion. The COM
nanding general at Hoboken reports
Soldiers cannot be controlled in the
vicinity of New York city unless there
is some means of restraining those
who violate orders and are absent
without leave" At no time were there
1400 under restraint.
Reports from various parts of the
country Indicate that German propa-
gandists are engaged in magnifying
the chances of death which our SOL
diers face in France. 1t is said, for
instance, that "the average life of an
aviator at the front is only seven
days" This is a gross exaggeration.
Figures from the French and Brit
ish armies show that the average
life of a pursuit aviator" at the front
is about three months, and one half
Of these men are withdrawn for phys
ical deterioration and loss of nerve.
Among observation aviators and
bombers the percentage Of "wastage"
is much smaller. The war depart
ment reports: "The probability of un-
interrupted service for an aviator is
about 80 days, but it must be renem-
bered that less than so per cent of the
wastage is due to deaths"
The French authorities report that
during 1917 the loss in dead, prison
ers and permanently disabled amount
ed to II per cent of the fighting forces
for the year. Of the wounded in ac-
ton, more than four-fifths return to
service, many of them in less than two
months. AS matter of fact, because
of the improvements in sanitation and
hospital service, the soldiers chances I
of returning from this war are great
er than in any war in the past.
