Washington, Aug. 13.-Many cases
Of gross extravaganza and apparent
careless expenditures in connection
with airplane production have been
discovered during the investigation
by the department of justice, it was
learned after the return OF Attorney
General Gregory and Assistant Attor-
ney General Fryerson from a two
weeks inquiry at the Curtis plant at
Buffalo.
Until the evidence gathered has
been further analyzed, it is not GER
tain whether grounds exist for crimi-
nal prosecutions, 1t was said. officials
take into consideration, it was ex-
planned. that the necessity for speed
in producing airplanes and of a GER
tain amount of experimentation may
have justified some extravagances.
Charles E. Hughes, who is conduct
ing the inquiry with the attorney gen
eral, returned to Washington today,
and hearings here will be resumed.
1T Is understood a number of army
officers and other connected with car
rying out the airplane production pro-

MAN-POWER BILL READY
Youngest Draftees to Be Called Last,

Washington. Aug. 14.-Passage Of
the man-power bill was predicted by
Senator Chamberlain in a statement
after the committee had decided to
report the bill fayorably.
THE secretary Of war and chief of
staff and General Crowder as we'll
have appeared before the committee
on this bill and have shown to the
committees satisfaction that It's ELI
actment is absolutely essential to the
maintenance of an adequate army in
France" he said.
Under the bills terms the presi-
dent will have power to classify the
selected and, while have no author
ity to indicate what he will do, am
inclined to the opinion that classes
will be arranged so as to call the
youngest last, so men of that class
will have at least six months or a
year to remain in the United States
and possibly longer, depending upon
the emergency"

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-thlrc
In Rigid War Economy
PractIced.

The world today Is producing fortI
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied ant
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. s. Food Administra
tion has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
1917-191S is at least three and a hall
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 large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
1t requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the posslbili-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as 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 29.1
per cent. of the pre-war average.
For the five years preceding the out
break Of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average of 1928 tons of
sugar each year. For 1917-19 the
French production was 219,416 tons.
With 81 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 1918
than in 1867, when the total output
was POP, ,415 tons.
Italy in 1918 produced 100000
IONS of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and
l1O,250 less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
riod.
One of the great difficulties expert
.nced in Italy's beet sugar industry
vas finding sufficient labor to handle
he crop. Thousands Of men usually
Employed in beet sugar production
vere called for military service The
'ield per acre amounted to approx
ately half Of the usual quantity of
cts harvested.
