HOLDING DOWN SUGAR PRICES.

Between $18O,OOO,OOO and $27O.OO0,-
600 has been saved to the American
consumer on his sugar bill by the U.
s. food administration regulation of
profits and elimination of waste and
speculation in the sugar trade in the
last few months.
Every penny's increase in the retail
price of sugar costs American consum-
ers $1S,000,00O. 1t is is estimated by
independent refners that for regula-
ton and control of the sugar market,
sugar would be selling today for not
1less than 20 to % cents pound.
By securing an arbitrary wholesale
price of and one-third cents a pound,
the food administration has made it
possible to held the retail price to be-
tween and 10 cents pound, even
in the face of an actual world short
age.
Compare this experience with that
Of the sugar market during the Civil
War. At the beginning of that war in
1851 the price of sugar was s and
% cents a pound, retail By 1864.
although there was no actual short
age of sugar, the price jumped to So
cents a pound, retail. That was an
unwarranted jump of 26 cents a
round. Such jump today would take
$46S, 200, 000-nearly half a billion dol

A "TRgSTED" GERMAN SPY.

No more alarming case of German
espionage has been brought to light
than that of Paul Henig, the trusted"
master mechanic of compans max
ing torpedoes for the United States
navy. Since another Henig, who pass
ed as his son, is now informed at Ellis
Island, it is not easy to understand
the blind confidence which continued
him in a position where he could do
So much damage. Lieutenant Shea,
U. S. N, was the first to suspect him.
This capable officer began an exami-
nation of the torpedoes on his own
account and found that they were de-
signed to circle back and sink the
very ships firing them There is no
need to expatiate on the formidable
nature of such a plot. Nor is it sur
prising that there should be consid-
cradle apprehension lest other un-
known dangers of the kind threaten
our military and naval forces. That
Henig should pay the death penalty
as a spy goes without saying; the
example cannot be too severe.
How many more Henigs are there
making torpedoes and explosives for
our government How much longer
IL leniency in dealing with these
criminals to be tolerated? Are we
really at war and do we know the
meaning of war, or is it all an opera
bouffe effect we are thinking about?
That Henig was interned for the
period of the war instead of being
made to pay the death penalty is one
example of the 1eniency that, to our
mind, is inexcusable. 1t is high time
some of the paid hirelings of the
Kaiser are being stood against a wall
and shot.

ABOUT REGULATING PRICES.

The regulation of food prices in
Americas is a new thing-it is such a
departure from the order of things ex-
listing during many years in this coun-
try it is unreasonable to expect that
all would be pleased, or that no in
justice would be done during the pri-,
mary adjustment of the new order.
The members of the food administra-
ton receive no pay for their services.
They devote much of their time to
the affairs of the administration mad
they are not infallible Some interested
persons realize and appreciate this,
but others do not. Only yesterday a.
lady said to member of the food ad-I
ministration that the price of a certain
commodity had been raised through
LlIC dCIiOA VI LuS lOOu NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and within less than an hour a mer-
chant called and declared he could
not sell the commodity in question
unless higher price be allowed by
the administration. Maybe each was
right Maybe both were wrong.
Let us see how the regulation of
food prices works in other sections and
what has been the result of it's adop-
ton in the country as whole. Pincus
Friedman, a bookseller in New York,
who boarded 1880 ponds of sugar,
has just been ordered to sell this at
cents pound, although he had
boarded in antic' patton of enormous
profits, and Charles Wilmer, of Long
Island City, N. Y, has been required
to sell 3O,SS9 pounds of butter he had
boarded for sale at a profit, to chart
ties, at price fixed by the food ad-
ministration. This was done to stop
their prodteering.
But these are specific instances.
There is no question whatever that
during the sugar shortage retail prices
would have risen to 20 and 80 cents
a pound but for regulation. The food
administration now orders jobbers and
original owners of storage eggs to re-
lease them at the rate of 10 per cent
of the total every two days.
The greatest success for the war
policy of price-fxing Is shown in the
steel trade, dealing directly with the
government. Far closer TO the people
are efforts made to help out the house
wife with her market basket; and
she has been helped Even Suggest
ed" prices, where no one has power to
order them, have limited ext0rtion.
The various food authorities, now
better harmonized, have fallen short
of what they might do with greater
powers. 1t is only fair that they have
credit for what they have accomplish

CHAMBERLAIN, THE DEMAGOGUE

Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the Senate Committee on Military At
fairs. has brought upon himself many
scathing condemnations by his action
in declaring the whole war deprament
inefficient, but when the basis of his
accusation is sought out he is made to
appear more than ever in the position
of the damagogue. After arraigning
the war department he placed upon
these officials responsibility for the
prevalence of disease and the presence
CT stalking death in the army. At the
hearing held to sift these accusations,
however, quite different view of the
situation was presented.
Senator Chamberlain offered in evil
dence two cases of death attended, if
not caused, by neglect of physicians
and nurses. They were very sad and
DIR, tears from many of the auditors
in the Senate Chamber. The recited
circumstances were inexcuable. They
call for the severest condemnation
But are these two cases fairly typi-
cal of the situation among over mil
lion men in camp, away from home,
exposed to new conditions affecting
bodily health and inevitably bringing
together sporadic cases of contagious
disorders under circumstances most
favorable for their spread They are
so presented by the Senator They
are absolutely disproved as such by
the broad fact which he is obliged to
acknowledge.
This broad fact is that'the death rate
among more than million encamped
soldiers in the first and worst months
of their new environment to date is
actually lower than it would have
been among them at home, as proved
by long life insurance experience
for selected lives of these ages. And
the Senator has to admit it.. The
American army is the healthiest in
tie world.
This is remarkable fact. These
soldiers are at war, and are none the
less at war for being mobbolized for
back of the fighting lines. And while
disease heretofore has always beenI
far more deadly to an army than to
the enemy's bullets. the great advance
in the hygiene of camp has still left
it foe more dangerous than in civil
life.
Secretary Bakers solicitude for the
health and care of the soldiers has
been VIGOROUSLY particular. That it
has been extraordinarily effective is
now proved by this broad admitted
fact. Army physicians and nurses
end to become unsympathetic and neg. |
lectful, as in civil life when dealing
with inmates Of large institutions, and
need, as then, to be called to frequent
account. But when few cases of in
difference on their part among so great
a number are held up to harrow public
feeling as typical of general camp con-
ditions, demagogy has descended toI
its lower depths
