THE SUGAR SITUATION

America, which made exports of 140,000,000 bushels of wheat in the closing crop year, where less than 20,000,000 bushels surplus appear ed, is called upon now to exercise like virtue with sugar.
 The burden of maintaining AL lied supplies falls on our resources.
 No sugar comes from Central Eu- dope, none from Java; from Hawaii and West Indies less than usual.
 French sugar territory is over run by German armies; French su- gar mills are taken and destroyed.
 Submarine sinkings and losses by battle have cost us great stores {; labor shortage makes inroads on production.
 For England the allowance is two pounds of sugar month; for France, one pound; for Italy, one pound. America seeks to share equally with all who sit at the com mon table, joined in the common defense.
 The sugar card ration plan is working we'll in Southeastern and Westward Alaska. With but few exceptions the system is meeting ap- proval and individual consumers are keeping well within their monthly allowance of two pounds per person and doing it cheefully and willingly.
 Now and then someone complains about having to come down town to get a card; that he or she can- not live on two pounds per month :; that they think it strange the gov ernment doesn't give them all the sugar they want. Thank God that these unpatriotic individuals are in the minority.
 Sugar must go to the soldiers and the Allies and the people of the United States must show the same spirit of voluntary sacrifice which they displayed during the wheat saving campaign.

JULY EXPORTS INCREASED

Exports of American goods in- creased slightly in July as com pared with June, while imports fell off slightly. according to an an- nouncement recently by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce.
 Exports increased from $4S5, ,00O,- 900 in June to S508,00O,O0O in July. For the seven months ended with July, the foreign sales totaled $3,- 4S3,O00,O0O, as compared with $3,- 100000 for the corresponding period of the previous year.
 July imports were $241, 100000, whereas in June they reached a total of $26O.0OO,OO0. For the first seven months of the year the inn ports were valued at $1,7s7 7,OOO,OOO as against s1, 100000 for a sim liar period in 1917.
 The gold movement in 1918 has been of much less importance than in 1917. For the first seven months of this year $52,OOO,OOO represents the imports of gold; in 1917 the inn ports for the seven-months period was S5O5, 100000. Exports amount ed to s29,OOO,OoO this year, as against $272,OOO,OOO last year.
 The silver movement has lncreas- ed in importance, the total imports being 0,OOO,OOO for the first seven months this year, as against S22,- 000,000 last year, and exports reach ing a total of 5,OOO,OOO as com pared with S44,OOO,OOO for the first seven months of last year.

AERIAL RAIDERS
 REQUIRED ID BE
 ACCURATE SHOTS

Aerial bombing is today for more of an exact science than was sup posed possible a year and a half ago. In the early days of the war, dropping bombs was largely a mat ter of luck, and the straight eye of the aviator was the only factor relied upon for success.
 Today, however, matters are en- tirely different Accurate bomb sites have been produced, which, carefully used, are guarantee of the bomb falling on the object aimed at, within very small margin of error. Of course, in the case of all such instruments, the human element is sometimes responsible for errors of calculation, and small error on a bomb-sight at 15,000 feet will send a bomb far out of it's course. In the words of an America airman who has done some splendid raiding work in France:
 ''It is wonderful what you can miss with a bomb"
 From this it must not be thought that the majority of Allied bombs J many or in the German lines; for aerial photographs taken after raids have shown that they do But em- phasis is laid on the importance of the personal factor in bombing In the excitement of work of this kind often in the midst of heavy shell fire-a very cool head is required to manipulate an instrument as deli cate as a bomb-sight. British air men for example. receive a very thorough training in bombing be- fore they are allowed to proceed overseas, and must obtain certain number of hits before they can graduate.
 It is thought that quite a lot of the wanton and useless destruction of private property in England by German raiders is due to sheer bad bombing. Undoubtedly the Central Powers are behind the Allies in regard to bombing gear, for on a large German twin-engined bombing airplane recently captured was found crude copy of an English bomb sight which was introduced more than two years ago.
 Aerial bombs range in size from ten pounds up to fifty or sixty times that weight and are roughly of two kinds, incendiary and high explosive. They are generally laid on their sides in racks underneath the airplane; but sometimes they are carried in cells specially fitted in the fuselage tor body) of the machine. In either case they are fused and released by levers placed convenient to the pilot or observer, the bombs themselves being far out of reach.
 When bomb is released it does not fall directly downwards, but takes a forward path as it drops, in the direction in which the ma chine is travelling. This is due to the momentum imparted to it by the speed of the aircraft.
 A factor of great importance in bombing is the time-length of the fuse. For example, if a railway junction was being attacked, bomb which exploded on contact would do far more damage than one with a delay fuse; for the former would have wide, low radius of action smashing up the railway lines while Che latter would during the delay bury itself in the ground and merely make a deep crater of a small area.
 The reverse, however, would ap- ply in the case of a munition fac tory. A bomb exploding on contact would go off as soon as it touched the roof, doing little or no damage to the remainder of the building; but an appropriately timed delay

GERMANS FORCE CASH DEMANDS
 WITHOUT HONOR

war COntrlDutlOnS rom Belgium during the first four years of the war amounting to a total of S446,- 000,000. This is in addition to the vast amount of machinery. materials and men taken from Belgium to sustain Germany.
 In this fifth year of war it is interesting to review the financial activities" of the Germans in Bel gium since that fateful day in Bel giums history, August 20, 1914, when the German hordes entered Brussels.
 During that month, as the Ger man armies were hacking their way through the little kingdom numerous towns and cities were fined" and war contributions were levied from each province as the Germans pro- gressed southwestward.
 The first move of the German staff when entering a town was to proceed to the city hall and an- nouce to the burgomaster that for resisting the advance of Emperor Williams armiees, his city or town had been fined so many thousand or million francs, as the case might be. When the burgomaster would remonstrate, Uhlans and Deaths Head Hussars would covort inno- gently in City Hall Square or the burgomaster would be taken pris- oner.
 In one instance in the Province of Liege the German commander of the company entering the town informed the burgomaster that a war contribution of 100000 francs would have to be forthcoming within two hours. The burgmaster de- murred. Never in the history of the little town had tl:ere been so much money in the city treasury. At the present moment, there was only little over three thousand francs in the strong box.
 "Well, we'll take that" calmly responded the German.
 More than 2OO,OOO,OOO francs were thus levied between August and November, 1914.
 Then Field Marshal Baron von der Goltz-Pasha decreed that Bel gium would have to pay a monthly contribution of 40,0O0,000 francs during one year and it would not be increased and that it would not be renewed. The Pasha's decree, how ever, proved to be but another scrap of paper.
 In November 1915, Baron von Bissing called upon the councils of the nine Belgian provinces to meet and informed them that the promise made by his predecessor had been made in good faith but with the implied condition that war would be ended within the year, and that he saw no alternative but that to renew the monthly contribution of 40,000,00O francs for another year.
 On the 20th of November, 1916, instead of abolishing the enormous tax on Belgium von Bissing de- cided that, owing to the duration of the war, the increase in prices high cost of living-he would have to increase the monthly payments to 50,0OO,OOO francs. He added ominously, temporarily"
 It proved to be so, indeed, for, on the 21st of May, 1917, the con- tribution was further raised to CO., OOO,OOO francs.
 The flow of francs into the cof- fers of the "War Lord was too small to satisfy the gargantuan ap- petites of the military men however, and on the 12th of September, 1916 they "seized" 43O,OOO,OOO marks, constituting all the deposits in Ger man bills of the Banque Rationale and the Societe Generale de Bel gique, the two largest banks in Bel gium When one of the directors of the Societe Generale refused to
