THE BAN ON SUGAR

The sugar situation has grown worse
of late intcad OF improving. and the
expectations entertained at tho begin
ming of the year have not been real
lied. The necessity OF accelerating
the transport of American troops and
material to France has curtadlcd the
facilities for thG shipment OF commo-
dities. The taking of ships from the
sugar trade precluded The importa-
ton of this staple from far distant
markets, whereby the sugar supplies
at our and our allies disposal were
considerable reduced Furthermore.

fore imperative.
The slight Inconvenience invol -cd
in the new order we can the moe
easily bear when VIC consider how
trivial the restrictions placed upon our
citizens are. compared TO the priva-
tons which our allies have been
obliged to suffer for years. and are
still suffering uncumplaninSly. Til"
quantity allowed FOR private consump-
ton is three pounds per person per

STATE SOCIALISM

No observer OF the events Of the
day can fail to have been impressed
with the rapid progress OF State So
cialism. The government has taken
over tho control and operation OF tho
railroads. T. has made such drastic
changes IN their method Of organiza-
ton that it will be exceedingly diff
cult 10 return them 70 their owners in
ANYTHING like the condition in which
-ey found them. The control and
regulation of the food supplies, of coal,
of iron and steel, Of copper. Of wool
and many other necessities Of life are
now part Of the governments Work.
In many lines OF business competition
has ceased and individual initiative
has for the time being disappeared.
These things are probably necessary
to efficient war-making. By efficient
war-making We mean the early aud
rapid organization Of armies aud the
preparation Of their equipment with
out much real consideration Of the
cost. While we have done tremen-
dous things in organizing an army, in
building merchant ships. supplying
ammunition and guns, We must not
overlook the fact that money has been
poured out like water. that prices have
hardly been asked. and that the peo-
pies money has been more lavishly
vasteIthan by any other government
! in history
What is going to be the condition
j when the war ends?
In what manner viii we restore
competitive conditions in great bust
ness?
In what manner are we going to get
! back to earth industrial producdono
These are very serious questions.
and while VIC do not have to meet
: them now. they must give US occasion
for earnest thought Are We to con-
tinue to be a Socialistic state. without
the strong arm OF the political boss
resting on every commercial and man
ufactwing operation and every avenue
Of employment The Intelligcncer
does not believe that America Is
ready for Socialism. For that: matter
It does not believe that it will ever be
ready. Perhaps a taste OF Socialism
and an experience in It, so to speak.
may be desirable. and we have not
the least doubt that the experience IN
State Socialism which we are going
to have when this war ends, and when
the spur for hasty production ceases
to work, is going 70 be very unpleas-
ant thing.

GERMANS ARE HARD
PRESSED FOR MEN

NEW YORK. April 16.-Germany is
so hard pressed for man-power that
permanently disabled soldiers are re-
tanned in the army and cripples are
called TO the colors. This statement
was made in the reichstag by Deputy
Ryssel. an independent socialist, on
February %. according TO the Berlin
Vorwarts, a copy of which has been
received here. Other deputies also
laid bare sensational conditions pre-
vailing in the German army.
The disclosures were made in a de-
bate which was precipitated by mo-
: ton requesting the chancellor to see
TO it that the classes of 1869 and 1870
be discharged from the army as soon
as possible and that the men of the
landstrum who have been in active
service since the beginning of the war
and who have been one year in the
front trenches be permanently trans
ferred to the home reserves. Deputy
| Ryssel said il was explained that the
men in question could not be with
drawn, because they could not be re-
placed. He added:
Resolution Ignored
/ The resolution adopted by the
reichstag two years ago providing for
the discharge of persons permanently
sick and unfit for service is not being
acted upon. In the first reserve bat
talon Of infantry regiment No. 81 a
great many crippled have been draft
ed. and the same is the case regard
ing infantry regiment No. It's, at
Raudonz. 4 man who had been
stricken three times with apoplexy
was accepted without examination as
fit for service in the Hussar regiment
i at GrOsscnhain.
l Strikers Punished
strikers and such persons as had
caused offcnse politically are put into
i the army as a punishment. In Reu.
stringen twenty men who Joined the
i socialist party on January 80 were
drafted into the army on February Il
The soldiers in general complain OF
; insufficient and bad food. What be,
