WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 30 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR is ISOLATED
Allied Beet Production Falls One-thirc
in Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today Is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-,
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as we'll as tho
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-1918 is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1917-191S crop Of cane sug
ar was two million tons in excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce One-half Of
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java a large part Of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
it requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
Of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as q group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield Of beet sugar is now only 29.1
per cent. Of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break of hostilities in Europe France
produced an average of 1852 tons of
sugar each year. For 1917-18 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1918
than in 1861. when the total output
was 2O2,415 tons.
Italy in 1917-18 produced 1OO,SOO
tons Of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output Of
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
Rod
One of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italys beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
We're called for military service. The
"ield per acre amounted to approx
'ntely half Of the usual quantity of
heetS harvested.

the "PADRE"

The Spanish word for father is
Padre. The Spanish calls his priest
as we do-his father. So the priests
of the missions were the Padres. The
outsider, when he came, knowing no
distinction between priest and Brother,
and making none, called all the religi-
Gus connection with the missions the
Padres. So we who know the story of
the missions we'll understand that
when anyone refers to the Padres of
California he refers to the religious
OF the missions, the sanity sons of
st. Francis, who built the great Fran
ciscan establishment of the missions
of the Alta (Pepper) California of
Spanish and Mexican days, later known
as just plain California, the golden
star in the galaxy of states, our won
derful land by the western sea.

CARDINAL MERCER
Primate of Belgium One of Those Rare
and Lofty Personalities, Says
Brand Whitlock.

Desire James, Cardinal MERCER,
Archbishop of Malines, is great man,
one of those rare and pre-eminent
personalities, those moral heroes that
somehow miraculously appear upon
the earth in time of great stress and
trial, and sum up and express their
people and their times.
There was something primal, origi-
nal about him, a man out of the peo-
pie yet above them, one of those rare
and lofty personalities who give the
common man hope because they are
like him, and yet create in him new
aspirations and higher hopes because
they demonstrate in their sufficient
selves what a common man may be-
come if only he have the will by de-
votion, by abnegation, by sacrifice,
and by love. In his mere presence one
felt all little things shrivel up, and
wondered why small annoyances
should fret and irritate; and when he
had gone the impalpable influences
of his lofty spirit hung for hours about
one in the air.
He was the incarnation of the prin-
ciple that is the antithesis of that
upon which the power that had over
run his country was founded, and be-
cause of this all it's armies and all it's
guns and bayonets and Kommandan-
turs were powerless; it's minions, who
had not hesitated to destroy whole CT
ties and communities, did not dare
even so much as to touch hair of
his head. Ultimate history, written at
that. hour when mankind shall have
emerged out of the darkness and saw
agery of these timeg into the light of
those better days that must come if
there is any meaning or order in the
universe, will celebrate the astonish-
ing coincidence that, in the little ma
ton which the most ruthless power
of all times chose as the first and
most tragic of it's many victims, there
was a man whose personality alone
and of itself, proved the superiority of
moral over physical force.

College Of Saint

The College of Saint Teresa, Vino

history. Two hundred and fifty.one
students were enrolled in the college
and normal sections. Two hundred
and forty-eight of the students were
Sisters from Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa,
the Dakotas and Wisconsin. Ninety
nine Sisters passed the state examina-

In addition to the regular college
and normal work special emergency
courses were given in First Aid,
draughting and business law; the
Hoover courses in food economics
were given together with the supervi-
sors course in surgical dressings.
Forty students received the Red Cross
certificate for First Aid. Thirty-fve
received the Supervisors certificate
in surgical dressings.
In the Conservatory, special atten-
ton was given to the preparation of
students for the state licentiate exam

The summer school closed with an

year on the problem of school build

JAMES N. hYLAND
The Irish-American Hero of sergy

When James Monroe Hyland, the
heroic Brooklyn boy who held a street
in Sergy against the Huns after all
his comrades save one had been killed,
babe his foster mother, Mrs Mary Lee,
of No. 121 Fort Green place, goodbye
before leaving for France he said:
Mother, you may never see me again,
but you will always be proud of me,
for 1 have dedicated my life to liberty
and am willing to die if need be to
realize President Wilson's ideal and
make the world a better place to live
i'm
Knows No Fear.
According to reports from the front
young Hyland, who is only twenty
two years of age, was one of a pla-
toon of fifty men who were ordered
to enter Sergy and hold a particular
street. There they fought under a
whitening fire from machine guns I'M
til only Hyland and one comrade were
left. AS the officers were killed early
in the action, the men elected officers
from their own ranks, and Hyland
was in command when relief came.
His Heroism Was Expected.
When Hyland enlisted in the old
Sixty-nihth, the Fighting Irish," May
16, 1916, he was law clerk in the
office of Brooks & Brooks, No. -
Broadway, and it was on the advice
of the senior partner of the firm, a
veteran of the Sixty-ninth that &C.
quilted itself so CALAMITY in the Civil
War, that the boy cast his fortunes
with that regiment. He went to the
Mexican border and remained there
until March, 1917. His Texas tent
mate, George w. Duffy, of No. 269
East Thirty-frst street, Brooklyn,
speaking of Jimny's achievement to
New York Herald reporter, said that
he could we'll believe that the boy had
made heroic stand at Sergy.

John l." as an Apostle

We are not accustomed to picture
the late pugilistic champion, John L..
Sullivan, in the role of an apostle,
says America. There is something
incongruous in the association. Yet
the Rev. Mr.. milford, a former sport
ing editor, speaking before the Nor
wood Sunshine Girls at the Floral
Avenue Presbyterian Sunday school,
Cincinnati, had characteristic story
to tell of the "old Gladiator" At the
height of his popularity Sullivan num-
bered among his most ardent follow
ers, a young Bostonian, Harry Green.
"To Green the sun rose and set on
John l.. Sullivan" But in the early
days of Green's hero-worship, deaths
advance agent" the white plague, set
it's seal upon him. He had wandered
far from the fold, and his Catholic
mother even now pleaded in vain for
permission to call the parish priest
1t was then that someone remembered
his affection for the champion. The
rest Of the story must be left for the
Presbyterian minister to tell:
Straight to Sullivan a message
speeded and to John L. the whole story
was told. "Only you," came the plea,
"can persuade Harry to see a priest.
Won't you Gomez"
And John L. went. He brought joy
to his dying admirer by personal
call. "The Gladiator's" casual sug-
gestion that the Reverend Father be
invited to "just drop in" met with
a sturdy rebuff, but John L. parted
that thrust, tried another straight jab
and battered down Green's opposition.
The priest was brought by John l..
himself

coming up from Louisville with John
