WHERE THE SUGAR WENT

According to leaders of the sugar trade the American peo-
pie, during the year 1917, have consumed or boarded vastly
more sugar than was ever before consumed in any one year.
The sugar scare started last winter. On top of it came the gov
ernments appeal to the people to preserve all the fruits and
vegetables they could afford to buy. They did so, and this &C
counts for millions of pounds of sugar. The canning factories
increased their output enormously and that called for other
millions of pounds. Last summer the crop of raspberries and
blackberries was good, but the Gamers took so much of it that
the cities got an insufficient supply.
Next in order were the enormous exports to France and
England. Then came the second sugar scare and partial fam
inc which killed the sale of late peaches and other tree fruits
to their output on a profitable basis. Finally, the confeetioners
and candy makers got their allotments for the Christmas trade.
America and the West Indies are producing more sugar
now than ever before and new crop sugar is now coming on the
market. Freight congestion has held up beet sugar made in
Michigan and the intermOuntain states, but this sugar should
soon be plentiful. Attempts to fix the price of Cuban sugar
have DETECTED large quantities to Canada, where sugar is
cheaper at retail than in our eastern states, though the refiners
are paying more for raw sugar than it commands in New York
without the duty. New crop sugar from Cuba should soon be
plentiful. Grinding has begun and the crop is the largest ever
known, but the yield cannot be determined with accuracy until
the sugar content of the cane is proved by the mill test. In
both sugar cane and sugar beets the sugar is developed in the
last stages of plant growth. So much depends on the weather,
about which no complaints have been heard this year.
England, before the war, depended chiefly on bounty-fed
beet sugar from central Europe and let the splendid sugar plan
tations of her West Indian and other tropical colonies fall into
decay. Now she has to depend on tropical cane sugar, and
France is unable to produce much beet sugar; so our allies must
draw sugar from our sources of supply to make up the deficien-
cies so created. Java and other sugar-producingp parts of the
East Indies cannot procure ships to carry their large stocks to
Europe or America. Such is the situation which confronts the
sugar trade.-New York Commercial.

THE PRICE OF COPPER

Copper circles have practically given up hope of receiving
the expected price of 25 cents a pound asked r at the price
fixing session at Washington. Many of the copper representa-
tives have returned to New York and Boston, and would be very
much surprisd if the war industries board raises the govern
ment-nxed price at this time from 231-2 cents, the present
price, to 25 cents, the new price asked.
The new price, be it 20 i-2 cents or 25 cents, or any other
price, would in the normal course of events continue for four
months to May 81, but the copper producers have requested it
to continue to June $50. Besides June 80 being a more con-
venient fiscal date, the question of too-frequent changes is an
important one to consider, and here the copper producers un-
questionably have the right on their side, and they are under
stood to stand a good chance of receiving the request.
If this request be turned down, copper circles would inter
pref it as a sure sign that the government aims now to cut the
price of copper metal at the next price-fixing convention, and
aims to make the cut as soon as it decently can. OF course,
this would not of necessity have to be the only possible inter-
probation of the governments action-Commercial.

COMMUNICATING RAILROADS

President Wilson did not shirk responsibility. In taking
over control and operation of the railroads of the country Tor
the period of the war, he has assumed the greatest business
task ever undertaken by any man or any government. In mis-
opinion, the railroad executives, acting as a committee, nave
been unable to CO. ordinate the transportation facilities OF the
United States and some railroads have suffered in consequences.
The inference is that some railroad officials have been unWil-
ling to subordinate themselves to, and take orders from the
head of the railroad committee, so Mr.. Wilson finds 1T neces-
sary to put a man outside their ranks in absolute control of all
transportation lines.
No explicit statement of the necessities of the government
which have forced the president to take this step has been pub
lished beyond the general one of military necessity. This move
will add vastly to the financial burdens of the country and to
the responsibilities of congress and the federal administration
at a time when they are staggering under the greatest load
ever carried by them or their predecessors in office.
Will congress forego the chance of patronage which the
addition of two million employees to the civil list affords? Will
congress resist the pressure that more than a million railroad
men with votes can bring to bear upon it during the next falls
election campaign? If congress complies with the demands of
the railroad employees as it bowed to the will of the four train
crew unions in the campaign of 1916, will its masters consent
to the restoration of the railroads to the companies which own
them at the end of the war?
President Wilson has assumed a task that staggers the i'm
agnation, and one that may not be finished when his term of
office expires. If the railroads are still operated and controlled
by the government when the next presidential election is held
they will be the chief stake in the game of politics-New York
Commercial.

AUSTRIAN SOCIALISTS VIEW

In the course of a recent debate in the vienna ~
the Czech Socialist leader, Stransky, violently ATTACKED uer
many and sharply criticized Count CzerniRs peace program.
Referring to Germany, Stransky said it was the ia'ai ISL
for the performance of the German nationality In 1us'ria
which had brought on war.
But for that the concessions offered by Serbia wou1 a
beer considered sufficient. Europe would stand a srohS
many, but not two strong German empires slde by slueNsoV
erned from Berlin. Perhaps, after all, Great Britain, france
and America are not so simple as to fight merely for the Tree,
dom of the Poles, Bohemians and southern Slavs, put Ilgn'
rather for political reasons, for securing the guaranty OF an
Austria independent of Germany and not ruled from Berlin.
1t has been asserted that the alliance with Germany is IN
dissoluble. Even if the union is so firm, circumstances may
arise to render its continuance impossible, because they a1fect
not only the policy but the actual existence of the country.
Referring to Count Czernin, he called the counts peace
conditions as nothing but phrases. They were no conditions at
all. but only a designation of the situation which should pre-
vail after peace. They were not even, as the count modestly
claimed, his own ideas, but were made in America" that is,
they were President Wilson's ideas put forth at a time when
America was at peace.

WASTING LABOR

Thrift that will help win the war does not consist of throw
ing thousands out of employment. Labor is scarce on the
farms and in many industries necessary for the winning of
the war. Our productive resources should be so modified that
every person able to work should be employed. Every idle
person is a burden and idleness is the worst form of waste. A
man out of work and without means of support is a charge on
society. He must be housed, clothed and fed, and the cost
must be paid in some way, too often by giving aims instead OF
providing gainful employment. 1t would be better to continue
to manufacture and consume nOn-essentias than to close such
industries and force work-people to live in idleness. Luxurles
are real wealth, the production of which is regarded as deslr-
able in normal times. When such production is suspended
the labor should be put to better uses instead of lying idle.
One of the mistakes made in awarding large contracts is to
give the work to manufacturers who cannot secure sufficient
labor in the small communities in which their plants are 10
Gated. The policy of distributing government work as widely
as possible is sound, but the officials who award the contracts
should find out whether the successful bidder can procure the
requisite number of hands in his own community. Much of
the delay in obtaining supplies for the army is due to lack of
labor at certain points, while plenty is to be found elsewhere.
The result is that a contractor seduces labor from other manu-
facturers in his own and neighboring towns and discrepancies
other industries, when the work could be done in distant cities
without trouble. This evil has been checked in England by
%forbidding persons employed in plants engaged in filling gov
eminent contracts from leaving one shop for another, the wag-
es for all having been standardized.
Let the government mobilize labor inteligenty and appor-
ton work scientifically. 1t is far easier and cheaper to send
the work to the toilers than to transport the toilers to the work.
In the case of most steel products, labor must go to the mills,
but this certainly does not apply to garment making. Our sol
der boys are without proper clothing while needle workers
are idle and suffering in New York City-New York CONNER
cial.

WAR SAVINGS

War Savings Stamps mark an epoch in our national life,
says Secretary McAdoo.
Many a successful business man has said that the saving
of his first dollar was the most important single act of his life;
that it marked the beginning of a habit and a course OF con-
duct to which he attributed his success.
Something very analogous to this, it is believed, is going
to be the effect on the American nation of the War Savings
campaign. Not only are millions of individual citizens going
to begin to save, but this habit of economy and saving is going
to be a collective movement, a movement not of individuals
alone but of the nation.
The habit of saving formed now has a deeper incentive
than ordinary. We are saving not alone for selfish reasons;
we are saving now from patriotism; saving not alone for our
selves, but for our country. The combination OF patriotism
and thrift is. indeed, going to make the War Savings campaign
an epoch in our national life. 1t is not only going to be a
thing of tremendous benefit to millions of citizens; 1T is going
to be a thing of tremendous advantage to the nation as a whole,
and affect our whole national life. 1t marks the beginning of
a new era in American life, an era of economy, good sense and
patriotism.

LIBERTY BONDS ON STOCK EXCHANGE

The daily quotations of Liberty Loan bonds on the New
York Stock Exchange below par do not represent any real loss
for those holders of Liberty Loan bonds who do not need to
sell them. The figures do mean a very small loss to those
ar compelled Tor one reason or another to sell: but
those who hold on to their bonds have one of the very best
investments in the world-absolutely safe, free to a great ex-
tent from taxation, and bringing in an absolutely certain in
come. The loss to them is purely imaginary, a paper loss. not
a real one.
Secretary McAdoo, in a speech before the Liberty Loan
conference IN washington December 40, made the statement
That, while sufficient legally competent evidence was not in
hand to warrant conviction before a jury, yet enough was
known morally to convince a man of understanding that the
naho OF inc kaiser was at work in bringing about sales of
Liberty Loan bonds and depressing their price on the exchange.
rms is added proof that the loss indicated by the difference
between par and the stock exchange prices is fictitious and
not real. "u

ORGANIZATION is NEEDED

Kerosene is coming into its own again as a result of the
high price and scarcity of coal. Oil stoves are used more ex-
tensively than ever before and they heat rooms more cheaply
than coal at the prices the poor are forced to pay. The oil trade
is organized and the consequence is that the supply is ample
and we'll distributed at prices that are fair for all concerned.
There is a lesson in this when the chaos prevailing in the coal
trade is contrasted with the way the oil trade is handled.

WILSON PREPARES
CONFERENCE PLAN
PRESIDENT MEETING MEN FROM
VARIOUS ALLIED NATIONS AT
PARIS HEADQUARTERS.

Paris. - After the conference ho
has had in Paris and the personal
examination he has made into the
situation here, President Wilson has
come to understand fully why the
peace conference cannot get under
way before the first of the year. The
mere physical proposition of getting
the American mission settled in it's
offices is a tremendous job. 1t might
almost be compared to the task Of
shifting the contents of building
housing one of the great emergency
war organizations in America and
setting it up in a new place.
President Wilson's visit to the
American troops at the front and his
review Of them in Paris that is plan
ned will be entirely out of the way
by the first of the year. Meanwhile
the informal conferences which mean
SO much and decide so much in lay
ing the ground for such a task as
is before the peace conference will
continue to make progress. The
president is seeking to get acquaint-
ed with the men with whom he is
to deal, so that he may discuss with
the greatest freedom the problems
arising and develop the value of the
personal equation.
From the presidents point of view
it is indicated that are plain things
to be said, and he wants to say them
and avoid antagonisms because, not
withstandiIg all the points to be
cleared UP and upon which wide d.
vergences of opinion have been ex-
pressed as representing public opin-
ion in England and France, the pres
ident is confident that an acceptable
agreement will be reached before the
peace conferenc adjourns.

HierogIyphics to Be Found
in California Are Believed
Older Than Those in Egypt

Amateur Psychologists of Bishop,
CAL, are endeavoring to interest profes-
sional scientists of the East in the
epigraphs which abound on the rocks
of Round valley, not far from that
city, and which are believed to be as
old, if not older, than the hieroglyphics
of earlier Egypt, to which they bear
strange resemblance.
1t is believed by many that the
strange markings constituted the
names by which ancient tribes marked
the sources of water supply for the
benefit of those of their number who
lived rowing lives.
These hieroglyphics have never been
deciphered. although they are matters
of record in the leading museums of
the country, 1t is said. The Indian
tribes now living In their vicinity de-
clare they are the work of the In
dams of North America and that they
antedate all aboriginal lore.
Some who have examined the
strange markings in the fiinty powders
say the hieroglyphics closely resemble
those Of earliest Egypt and may re-
place the latter as the first written
language of humanity.
They are found always in the Vi
cinity Of water supplies.

Salt Lake Is rs Miles Long,
80 to so Miles Wide, and Has
An Average Depth of 20 Feet

Perhaps no salt ponds anywhere in
the world possess so many natural adj
vantages as the Great Salt Lake, says
Stanley w. Todd, in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Lying as it does in
one of the great valleys of the Rock
les, on the eastern edge of the great
basin, the lake extends north and
south for rs miles, while it's width va
ries from 80 to so miles. 1t has an
average depth of 20 feet and is 4,21S
feet above the sea level. There is lit
tie rainfall throughout the year, and
the ever-present sun, together with the
fiat shores, contribute to the ideal con-
ditions of summer operation.
The lake has no outlet and the water
is as nearly saturated with salt as it
can be without crystallizing. Great
strides have been made in recent years
in the methods of making high-grade
salt, both by the grainer and vacuum
pan processes. Solar evaporation and
grainer methods are used at Salt Lake,
the mill being located at place call
ed Saltair. During the season when
the harvesting is under way, the water
is pumped from the lake at the rate
of from 10000 to $4,000 barrels day,
the pumping being carried on from ten
to IA hours.
