WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-Cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One.third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
wal average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as we'll as the
neutrals, the U. S. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
1917-191S is at least three and a 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 16O 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 a 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 POI
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 1917-1S the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 61 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 1917-1S
than in 1861, when the total outpu'
was cOo,4 AS tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 1OO,SO(
tons Of beet sugar, which was 56.OO(
tons less than the previous year anl
11O,25O less than the annual output O.
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
Rod.
One Of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industr,
was finding sufficient labor to handl,
the crop. Thousands Of men usual,
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. Tn
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half Of the usual quantity o
beets harvested.

MAY BE LATE IN
ASSIGNING QUOTA

The next garment allotment will
be late in reaching chapter, as ma
tional headquarters have determined
not to send out allotments until mate
rails are on hand for making the arti-
cles.
The American Red Cross has be-
come a very large manufacturing
corporation and the scope of it's work
is limited only by the shortage of raw
materials and the capacity of facto-
ries in making them: up.
The situation should be carefully
explained to workers, so that work
ing units may be kept intact and
ready t omeet the next call. The ma
tional organization and division head
quarters will lose no time in sending
out instructions for the fall allotment
as soon as circumstances will permit.

RED TRIANGLE is
BEHIND TROOPS
There Is Virtually No Interruption of
the Y. NJ. c. A. Service Because
of the Attack

Using Y. M. C. A. huts close to the
front line trenches in France as adj
vanced dressing stations, Y. M. c. A..
secretaries acting as stretcher bear
ers, others assisting the surgeons to
bind wounds, still others carrying
cheer to the fighting men in the
trenches in the shape of steaming hot
chocolate, the present counter-otfen-
sive on the western front has demon
strated the bravery and earnestness
of the Y. M. C. A. war work secre-
taries under shell fire.
There has been virtually no inter-
ruption of the Y. NJ. C. A. supply serv-
ice because of the attack. AS soon
as the barrage lifts the trucks, loaded
with supplies, start forward blowing
through the danger zone with intrepid
drivers avoiding crater holes and
lodging shrapnel. The Red Triangle
has followed close upon the advanc-
ing troops.
w. T. Renison of Stockton, Cal.
writing from the front, expresses the
spirit of the "Y" men. He says:
"This is the world of ideals over
here, the world of sacred things, fight
ing for it's very life. Mere physical
values will never again mean very
much to me. You cannot see your
boys go from you 'Y' hut into the
trenches and learn next day that they
will never come back without feeling
that you W all and more than yor
can ever give to the torn and bleeding
hearts at home. My sacrifice doe:
not consist in anything l am doins
or can do over here; it consists in tn,
sorrow and pain duty demands Civ,

dropped a bomb a few feet ahead o
him. He brought part of the shell

HIS LIFE TO
PRESENCE OF MIND

Because he exhibited extreme cool
ness and fortitude when caught be-
tween a barrage, Daniel Kennedy, a
y. NJ. c. A. war work secretary with
the American troops in the present
drive on the western front, owes his
life. He was gassed while carrying
supplies on his back to the Americans
in the front line trenches. His home
is in Sommerville, Mass. He will re-
cover.

CAPTAIN David A Henkes En-
deavored To Resign Be-
cause He Did, Not Want
To Fight Friends And Re-
lations

New York, Feb. 24.-Captain David
A. Henkes, Sixteenth Infantry, U. 8.
A., has been sentenced to dismissal from
the service and confinement at hard la
Dor for twenty y-five years by general
court martial held at Governor g Is
land.
Henkes, who is of German descent,
endeavored to resign his commission say
ing that he did not care to fight against
relatives and friends.
Captain Henkes, who was stationed at
San Antonio, Tex, last May wrote to
the secretary urging him to accept the
resignation, which he already had sub
nitted, and giving reasons which he de
clared, would be no longer allow him to
.erve as an officer of the American
Army.
"Further service as commissioned
officer sooner or later must take me to
Europe, and there bring me in conflict
with my relatives and friends, although
for the time being my legal enemies, y
Captain Henkes wrote. "My father
came from Germany. My mother wa:

as Company about SIX years and pre-
vious to that was a lrmpe:man in Tex
as and Mississippi. His mechanical and
managerial ability caused him to reach
a high place in the activities Of the Tex
as Company very quickly and he was
valued by them as man of unusual
ability. The handsome factory build
ings just east of this city are a monu.
ment to his constructive genius, as he
planned and directed every detail con-
cerned in them. The deceased was
keenly interested in the civic and in

men Of America.

German Artillery Sector
Probably Destroyed
An Enemy Patrol Party Also
;uted By American Ma
chine---Cuns And Rapid
Fire

With the American Army in France
Saturday, Feb. 23.-(By the Associated
Press) In the American sector north
west of Toul today the Germans tried
the tactics of concentrating artillery fire
on one Of the American positions, ap-
parently with the purpose of obhterat-
ing it. The American guns Immediate
" punished the German batteries with
a doubly heavy retaliatory fire and then
swept the enemy lines with vicious
barrage, undoubtedly inflicting consid-
cradle damage.
The German guns promptly ceased
fire. Whether they were silenced or
stopped firing for other reasons is un-
known, but since that time nardly shot
has been fired from that point.
Last night the German patrol was
found once more within the American
WIRE 1t was driven back by machine
gun and rifle fire. American patrols
worked freely, without interference.
The Germans today dropped into the
American trenches an entirely new type
of bomb, resembling baseball. No
damage was done.
Along the front generally there was
less firing, owing to the low visibility.
The Germans continued to shell their
targets in the towns behind the lines,
adding one town which hitherto has not
been shelled.

Mr.. Raruch in Washington
(New York Times)

AS chairman of the war industries
board, Mr.. Baruch is working for til
government because he wants to be
of service to his country. Mr.. Baruc-
has come through his Washington
apprenticeship without sacrificing hi:
Wall-street reputation, and that il
worth more than is admitted ceneY-
ally. The country persists in judging
Wall Street by its camp followers;
rather than by its soldiers. The coun-
try was amazed when leading IL
nancler testified that he based credit
more on chara cter than on assets. It
is not to be doubted that the preSi-
dents letter to Mr.. Bafuch Is based
more on his character, gained in the
ranks of the government service, than
on his wealth.

One of the incidental victories OF

conference Chile has agreed to &C
terms of American dollars in pay
ment for nitrates. Heretofore these
payments have been made through
London and in English pounds. The
attitude of Chile towards the United
States has been one of aloofness for
many years and the unfortunate fact
has been that this feeling was nur-
tured and fostered through German
influence. In no country other than
Argentina had the Germans gained
a deeper influence or d larger con-
troll of affairs than in Chile, and
here they used all means to under
mine the United States. Recent
events in the progress OF the war
have given the Chi1eans a, new out
look and this is manifest in a better
feeling towards the United States
Arrangements for closer commercial
relations have brought the great rc-
suit of acceptance Of New York in

| over their SORROWS But none of
these is the sort of waste that lies
heaVy upon our mind. It is waste
revealed in the point of view re-
gardlng death and the loss OF morale
through the undiscrininating and full
some praise given to the dead, be-
cause they are dead
Thls is moro worth speaking Of
now, because we arc ripe for a saner
view of death and a greater and
more truly charitable estimate OF the
dead and because our endurance
courage, and hope, in the great
struggle, depend not a little on how
We-view death.
When we see seven clergyrnen en-
p'oyed in performing the last rites

Death is a blessing when treated re-
spectfully; when it challenges the

their superiority; when it fits into
an heroic scheme Of things. That

function of the funeral The funeral
will do it when chara cterized by de-

and respect for the dignity of life
and death.
It were almost worth while to pc
tftion the president to appoint an
administrator of funerals. were it
not that he would be likely to be
hard put to it to find a man with
enough of the grace Of humor to
realize fully the potential value to
the nation of the conservation or
death through reform Of the funeral.
