THE SUGAR SITUATION

The Evening News of Havana,
Cuba, has the following editorial on
the sugar situation in the United
Somebody is handing the good
folks of the United States the largest
lemon in the history Of citrus fruit
cultivation.
When a governor Of great State
like New York has to send long dis
lance to get little sugar and says
that he can find none in the state
capital, it is evident that folks of
lesser Importance are going mighty
short. That is what actually occurred
last week. Governor Smith wrote to
friend in New York asking him to
try and buy ten pounds of sugar for
the governors family use, as he could
not get any in Albany.
What are the facts about this sugar
shortage? The facts are that the
shortage is artificially created and
that exports of Cuban sugar to the
United States this year have been the
largest in history. The cold truth Ii
that this year up to last Monday Gu.

Pittsburgh, Nov. John W. Beat
ty, director of Fine Arts Of the Car
negie Institute of Pittsburg, has an
nounced that the Institutes interna
tional art exhibitions, which were in
terrupted by the war, will be resumed
next Spring.
Invitations have just been issued to
painters throughout Europe asking
them to exhibit, and invitations to
leading American painters will be
mailed later in the year. Robert B.
Hershe, the assistant director, will
sail in a few weeks for England and
the continent where he will personal
ly interview artists in connection with
the exhibition.
The exhibitions, which were insti-
tuted with the founding of Carnegie
Institute % years ago, are said to be
the only American exhibitions which
represent the art of all nations. Pic
lures have been received from every
producing nation, except China and
Japan.
Two European and eight American
artists are elected to the jury, of ac-
ceptance and award each year, part
of their duty being the award of the
first prize of $1,000, the second OF
$1,000 and the third of $780, A medal
accompanies each award.

COULD NOT ARREST
STRICKLAND If FOUND

II could not arrest w. l.. Strick-
land if l met him on the street right

yesterday afternoon when he was in
St. Petersburg conducting a further
investigation into the facts relating to
the disappearance of the deputy who
is accused of two serious offenses.
There is no warrant out for

HE is out on bond for his appear
ance at the next term of circuit
court and have no authority to in
terfere with his movements. even if I
knew where he is today. His bond
calls for his appearance before the
grand jury in February, and until
he fails to appear at that time there
is nothing / can do. If hisbondsmen
go into court and surrender him,
that is notify the court that he has
fed from the jurisdiction of the court
and they want him arrested, then
gould go after him but the expense
OF the search for him would have to
be borne by his bondsmen and not
the county or state
This new angle to the disappear
ance of Strickland was a surprise to
most persons here who just assumed,
without making any investigation
that Strickland could be nabbed at
any time he might be found. Law
yers here confirmed Sheriff White
hursts's statement that until Strick-
land jumps his bond, that is fails to
appear at the time set, nothing can
be done to bring him back here un-
less a new warrant should be issued
for him, or his bondsmen make a.
move. A man who is accused OF
crime and then released on bond can

county or even the state where the
warrant was issued, unless tn bond
SO specifies and this was not so spec
flied in Strickland's case.
States Attorney Mel McMullen said
this morning that while there is now
no authority to arrest Strickland and
that there is little doubt about his
being caught and brought back here,
if ne is alive, new warrant can and
probably will be issued for Strick-
land in connection with his shortage

garded as matter of public interest and
as | never before have had my debt paying

explanation is due me- The facts are
that | placed the house with Howard to
sell and Just as | was leaving for New
York and was in hurry to catch a train
he asked me to sign an agreement giving
him the exclusive sale of it.
| did this without taking time to read
the form, which / have since learned
contains a provision that he shall have
2 per cent commission even if the owner
sells the property Howard had nothing
whatever to do with the sale of the house
and the purchaser never saw him nor
passed word with him before he bought
it.
When I received a bill from Howard for
Il commission for selling my house"
naturally questioned it. BY the next mail

STILL INCREASING
Government Spent 81 100000 In
April-Total War Expense to Date
Is O,5OO, 900, 900.

WASHINGTON, May almost six
months after the signing of the armistice
Americas war expenses not only are con-
tinuing without abatement, but actually
are increasing over those of the last few
months. This is shown by treasury re-
port of government OUTLAWS for April
amounting to approximately 81 ,420, 900, 600
of which two-thirds went to pay the ma
tons direct war bills and one-third to the
allies to enable them to pay obligations
incurred in this country heretofore for
war materials and foodstuifs
Following the big drop from around
$, 900, 100000 a month last December and
January to 81, lS9, 100000 in February, war
expenses have mounted month BY month.
The increase in the last two months is
attributed to the gradual settling of man
ufacturers' accounts by the war depart
mcnt and by the stronger demand of the
allies for credits with which to pay bills
previously incurred in this country.
The tremendous OUTLAWS in April raised
the United States actual expenditures
since the nation entered the war a little
more than two years ago to about $780,
500.o00,0 0o About $4,000 900, 600 Of this
has gone to the allies and will be repaid
eventually.
Without war the governments expenses
probably would not have been more than

government has passed about SIS 800, 600,
600 across the counter for war materials,
army equipment and supplies merchant
| ships, navy vessels and the overhead
costs of maintaining big fighting ma
chine. Through sale of materials ON hand
and salvaging of considerable government
property some officials hope to get as
much as 1900, 100000 Net war costs
will be reduced by that sum, whatever il
may prove finally to be-
