WAR SLACkERS OF
1875 WERE SIMILAR
TO THOSE OF 10

Washington, Jan. 9-Echoes of the
Americans struggle for liberty in
! 1776 have been found by War Depart
ment officials in their search of the
records of Harfords county, Mary
land, in connection with perfecting
title to the new army proving ground.
A detached document in the clerks
! files, dated 1776 sets forth the names
Of fifteen citizens of the region who
refused to sign a declaration of the
independence said to have been
among the first moves in that direc-
ton by the American colonists The
reasons given in refusing to sign
present vivid picture of the per-
turbed state of mind of the colonists.
The document reads:
Benjamin T. Hargrove refuses to
sign through religious principles.
William Wilson, son Of John, re.
fuses to sign through religious prin-
ciples.
Benjamin Harboard refuses to sign
through religious principles.
Michael Boser don't sign by rea-
son he signed before.

1t is a myster to him.
phillip Cummins don't sign by rea-
son he don't understand the matter.
John Ward don't sign by reason
the Congress don't sign and by rea-
son he thinks that If the English gain
the day then the Congress and the
great people will turn the scale and
say the community of people forced
to soand in opposition to the Eng
fish.
John Clark don't sign by no rea-
son ne can give.

Hoover, then in London, which he
Allies can consolidate under one
staples from our market, and not
abolished, but by cooperative buy
proper balance between the rights
This plan was favorably re.
ceived by the sugar refining in.
dustry, which had been on a war
basis almost from the beginning
Of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies
into the Cuban market, resulting
in severe domestic and interna-
tional competition with no in
creased supplies. Naturally
prices Of refined sugar, both to
the American public and to the
Allies, rose under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refiners, since
the outbreak Of the European War
not only have safesuarded the
United States supply but have
maintained the lowest sugar prices
in the world.
This brilliant record is due
largely to the fact that sugar re-
filming is in the hands Of large
business units, with an excess Of
refining capacity sufficient to sup
ply all domestic needs, and SO far
all demands Of foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1917 there was
a serious attempt at the disor-
sanization Of the sugar refining
industry, following a long series
Of attempts at destruction Of sugar
ships.
Accompanying these incidents
were widely circulated sensa-
tional reports predicting sugar
famine and sugar shortage, caus-
ing widespread apprehension.
Atthat time, evenwith the assur-
ance Of ample supplies on hand,
retail sugar prices rose in some
sections to 20 and Is cents pound.
The efforts Of the American
Sugar Refining Company to allay
public alarm, to check boarding,
to accept a price less than that
which it could easily have Sc
cured, and to distribute its prod
uct fairly and evenly among the
trade. were Of real public service.
While there were great supplies
Of sugar in PARKWAY Java which
ordinarily would have gone to
Europe, yet the necessity for saw
ing ships became SO great that
Europe turned to Cuba for even
larger supplies than previously.
1t takes a cargo ship $50 days to
make round trip between Eng
land and Java, while round trip
between England and Cuba can
be made in SO days.
Under these circumstances
and seemingly to avoid paying
proposed United States war taxes
on refined sugar the European
Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would
have come to the United States
in the fall months.
These conditions, and especial
ly the necessity of saving ships,
In war time and at all times it is

led the United States and the
Allied Nations to urge upon the
sugar industry the adoption by
voluntary agreement Of the
original Hoover plan, under the
authority Of the Food Control
Act. passed August 10. 1917.
The cane-sugar refiners and the
beet-susar producers unanimously
agreed to the Hoover plan as a
patriotic act in the interest Of the
American people and as an aid to
the Allies.
This is the significance Of the
appointment by the United States
Food Administration Of the Inter-
national Sugar Com mittee to
which the Allies send representa-
tives for England, France, Italy
and Canada, and to which the
United States contributes three
members.
Upon the success Of the opera.
ton Of the International Sugar
Committee under the directions Of
the Allied Governments, acting
for practically half the civilized
world, will depend the readjust-
ment Of the worlds sugar markets.
This plan is full Of promise to
all the nations party to the con-
vention.
1t is an assurance that sugar.
although comparatively cheap
in view Of war conditions, will not
by reason either of competitive
or speculative activity be in
creased in wholesale price.
Sugar will become stabilized in
price with sufficient profit to pro-
ducers, refiners and merchants to
maintain and stimulate produc-
ton and to cover the cost Of re-
filming and Of distribution.
The marketing Of Domino Cane
Sugars in cartons and small cotton
bags by this Company has helped
amazingly during the pinch Of
the fall months in giving a wide
distribution among the retailers
Of the reduced sugar supplies.
While barrel formerly was the
unit Of the grocer the same amount
Of sugar put up in cartons and
small cotton bags can now be di-
vided between two or more Srocers
and SO serve a larger number Of
people and prevent boarding.
It will be necessary for srocers
and consumers to watch carefully
their distribution and purchases
during the approaching period Of
readiustment. The refineries are
now starting up and supplies Of
raw sugar coming forward. but it
will take weeks, and possibly
months, for the return OF normal
conditions.
Housewives can aid in conserv-
inc the sugar supply by buying
these package sugars.

Huns Expulsion
From French Soil

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Nov. 8 (By the Associated
Press) $3.50 d. M. The French
frees to-day continued their push tow
ard the Belgian frontier, with the Ger
mans persisting in their delaying tao
tics of the last few days. The Ger
mans used artillery and machine gun
fire at points where they needed more
time to break contact with the French.
AT other places on the front the
progress of the French was maintained
with undiminished speed.
Nothing but the prompt. signing of
the armistice will prevent the Allies
from entirely clearing French terri
tory of enemy troops before the peace
negotiations begin.
Fires are burning in the rear of the
German lines all along the front. This
indicates that whatever may be the
outcome of the armistice negotiations
further important retirement Of the
German forces may be expected.

AS to Germany's entrance into the
league, Mr.. Taft said that if Ger.

Strike of Priests
Occurs in Moscow
Clergy Protest at Bishops Ar
rest, Are Seized and
Finally Released

LONDON, Sept 2s.--A strike of
priests in Moscow was one Of the in
cidents Of Bolshevik rule. Bishop
Andronic, Of the Perm diocese, man
of considerable influence among the
Russian clergy, had been arrested for
his outspoken opposition to the Boil.
shevik regime and all the ecclesiastics
in that district went on strike in PRIV
test against his imprisonment.
They refused to perform the services
their Office required, and the devout
mujiks and townspeople were greatly
mortified. A number of striking
clergymen were arrested, charged with
counter-revolutionary activity.
After a thorough examination by the
local commission for the Suppression
Of counter-revolution sabotage and
speculation" they were released upon
signing pledge that they would never
take part in agitation against the
soviet government nor in connection
with the arrest of the Bishop.
What became of the Bishop and how
the strike ended has not been learned.
