French Papers Believe Tine Has
Come for japan to Stop German
Expansion

Paris, Feb 2S.-A note of relic?
and satisfaction marks French pre5s
comment upon the concrete signs Of
early Japanese intervent' On in Siberia.
Leading French organs have urged
such a step by apan ever since the
Bolsheyiki rule proved the author Of
chaos and collapse The whole agita-
tion for more active Japanese partici--
patton in the war started in France
and was kept alive by France, the
press here having urged it ever since
the Russian revolution. Now thai
Japan is face to face with tangible
prorocation Of intervention, the dis
cussion of the subject previously fair
tained within certain limits of dis
cretion for diplomatic and political
reasons, has become frank and un-
restrained. Says the Gaulois:
There is no doubt that the prin-
cipal German effort aims beyond the
Ukraine, at the markets of the Far
East. where Germany will find herself
face to face with Japan. In southern
Russia they are certain to ind vast
resources and to open important out
lets for themselves. But across the
Ukraine they will try TO penetrate tc
the Asiatic routes where they will en-
deavor to supplant the Russian in
fluence in the great markets of the
lrient-provided that Japan leave
them the means and the time to real
ize their projects.
''The more active participation by
Japan in the European conflict has
heretofore been blocked by obstacles
of technical nature and by objec-
tions of principles seemingly insur-
mountable Does not the grave peril
arising to onr ally in the Far East,
from the caritulation Of Russian, con

PLENTY OF ESSENTIALS
FOR PRESERVING FRUIT

Columbia, Feb. 24.-South Carolina
made most enviable record last yea"
in its cannig campaign. Perhaps no
state showed an intelligent effort ao
did this state for preserving her veg
etables and fruit crops. Those who
showed the foresight to can and pre-
serve reaped the full benefits by not
having to buy canned goods at hign
prices. From a purely economical
standpoint the necessity Of canning
fruits and vegetables is more serious
this wear than ever before. Last year
many thought they would not be able
to get sugar for their canned goods,
jellies and preserves. The government
is regulating and will continue to reg
ulate, the price of sugar, and will hold
| it at normal figure. Food Admins
traitor Elliott is confident that ten
cents per pound for sugar, at retail
will be the prevailing price. 1t is,
therefore, very prudent to plant veg
etables and such foodstuff as can be
conserved during the coming summer.
The government is already taking
ample precaution to see that every
body gets plenty OF containers and
sugar, and the following telegram
was sent out from the food admins
tration office in Washington. 1t will
be of general interest, and reads:
'Regarding sugar supplied for man
ufacturing of essential food products
approaching necessity of both produc-
ton and preservation of food supplies
as we'll as reflecting the POLICY Of the
food administration as bearing upon
collateral industries, such as manu-
facturers of cans and fruit jars, etc
and buyers of same, all manufactur-
ers Of essential food products are ad-
vised that they will be able to obtain
their necessary requirements of sugar
for manufacturing purposes during
coming season. This applies particu-
larly to packers of fruit. corsdensed
milk and such vegetables for preserva-
tion of which sugar may be necessary
as well as to the housewives for
usage in preserving purposes. When
car shortage is relieved supplies of
sugar will be available. for preserva-
ton purposes Shipments from Cuba
are steadily increasing"
Chairman August Kohn. in charge
of the conservation and production
campaign in this state, on these as
surances feels all the more justified
In begging the people to strain every
effort in planting food crops and gar
dens. The surplus will be needed.

FERTILIZER AND

South Carolina who were inclined to
run away with the idea that 30-cent
cotton is a great thing (as it 'eal!y
