SUGAR NOTES.

The very probable decrease in
the consumption of sugar in the
United States is feared by many
to mean that sugar prices when
the next Louisiana crop is coming
on the market will be very I'M
stable and it is being more and
more believed by sugar planters
that the spirit of the Government
sugar regulations will have to be
changed to prevent unsteady con-
ditions prevailing next fall in su-
gar. Should price conditions be-
come chaotic next fall there is no
doubt. say close sugar observers.
that the situation will initiate
against the greater production Of
sugar in 1919 in this country. The
vast increase in the Cuban Gro
together with the tremendous re,
duction in the use of sugar in the
United States which is now pre-
saged by the many regulations
aimed at the wholesale curtail-
ment Of it's use. will mean an I'M

nestle sugar growing business
In disc usslng the prospects for the

from the point of view of fnan.
clal returns, one of the most
prominent Louisiana sugar pro-
ducers said this week that prices
would more than likely be not as
good as were those of 1917 and
that the regulations permitting
the use of sugar for preserving
fruit, etc, which required that
the housewife would have to first
obtain a permit from the local
food administration would ha,
the almost certain effect of reduc-
ing the amount of preserving
done Ill this country and as a con-
sequence the amount of sugar con-
Sumcd too. He thought that the
regulations of the Food Admin
istration had been SO extensive in
their scope that the effect Of
them would be not only to save
the sugar needed for the use of
the armies of the Allies and their
civilian populations but would so
further than that and render pre-
carious the domestic sugar indus

800 BURCLARIES
OCCUR DAILY IN
CITY OF BERLIN

New York, April 4.-Burglaries and
robberies in Berlin average more than
300 daily and great alarm has been
caused in the German capital by the
sensational increase in crime result
ing from war conditions.
The Berlin Tageblatt on March 10
published an interview with the di-
rector of a large insurance company
who said 300 burglaries and robberies
were reported daily to the insurance
companies.
The homes of the minister of war
ami the commanding general of the
Mark of Brandenburg have been en-
tered.
Many of the theft are committed by
deserters from the army while there
also are burglar bands composed of
former oonvicts and deserters. Ref
ugees from occupied portions of Cali
clan and Polish territory have been
active criminally.

The Rev. Arthur J. Brown, who
presided, said the churches were not
concerned with the political aims of
the war, as these were problems for
President Wilson, but were specific
ally concerned with moral aims
America is in this war because it
is fundamentally a war between
pagan and Christian ideas of the Or
ganization of the world" DR.. Brown
said, because it is a conflict between
the law of the jungle and the law Of
brotherhood in international rela-
tions."
The conference is held under the
auspices of the district loan commit
tee and the national comittee on the
churches and the moral aims of the
war.
Alluding to news dispatch telling
of a semi official announcement from
Germany that it had no faith in the
ability of a league of nations to dis
courage war, Theodore Marburg,
former American minister to Belgium,
said that statement ''discloses clearly
the intention of Germany to proceed
with aggressive plans in the future"
1T is perfectly clear that no league
of nations can be effective unless Ger
many is overthrown," he said. THE
great duty before the world is to over
come Germany. One means of ac-
complishing this is preventing the
Bolshevik government in Russia from
continuing to help Germany. 1t would
seem hopeless to try to organize in
Russia opposition to Germany under
present conditions. The only hope is
for an Allied army to step in until
the Russians can organize behind this
wall of steel.
Necessarily we must let the Japan
ese play a leading part in any such
step, but small Allied forces could be
| Joined to theirs and the Allies as a
whole could announce their intention,
| eventually, to withdraw from Russia
/ just as we announced our intention at
the beginning of the Spanish war to
Withdraw from Cuba and kept our
word"

WATSON'S TRIAL
FOR HOMICIDE
OPENED TODAY

Middletown, April 4-Robert Wat
son of Townsend avenue, New Haven,
held responsible by Coroner Davis for
the death of Mrs. Mary Robinson,
widow, of Durham, last fall, when his
automobile was overturned, was pre-
sented before Judge Burpee today to
be tried on a charge of homicide.
Watson was returning from a, fair
in a neighboring town and his ma
chine upset on the highway, Mrs.
Robinson, who was with him, being
killed, and others in the party being
injured.
Watson offered a plea of guilty and
his counsel asked the court to de-
termine the facts in order that the
degree of negligence might be deter
mined. Judge Burpee then asked the
state to present its case, which was
done, the early witnesses being ques-
toned as to Watson's condition on the
night in question. The defense will
put on character witnesses, including
the Rev. Robert Bell of New Haven.
