Sugar Famine
Ends To St.
Petersburg

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 17.-An ordi-
nary box-car rolled into st. Peters
burg this morning without exciting
any comment or disturbance until II
was discovered that the car containeu
1O5 barrels Of sugar. Then there was
a general hustling around on the part
Of everybody. The railroad men got
busy and the car was shifted to q
point where it could be unloaded ana
the precious contents handled.
The carload of sugar was con-
signed to the Pinellas Wholesale Groc
cry Company and has been on the
road here for several weeks. 1t was
expected last week but did not come.
The local grocery company; foreseeing
shortage Of sugar here, placed az
order for carload lot and the sugar
has now arrived at time when there
is hardly pound of sugar to be had
in the city.
The sugar which arrived this morn
ing is what is known as plantation
clarified. 1t is pure cane sugar,
white, but not as white as graduated
sugar. 1t is little different from the
granulated sugar. The two sugars
| would have to be placed side by side
to be distinguished and there is no
difference as far as taste goes. The
sugar received today is much better
and whittier sugar than that which was
sold here last winter as plantation
sugar.
st. Petersburg has been out of SUI
gar for week and the people have
been begging for sugar and have been
willing to pay any price to get some.
1t is believed that the carload here
will be sufficient to supply the city
for several weeks and then the Cuban
sugar will be coming in and there will
be no more shortages.

DAMAGE WROUGHT BY
GERMANS In BELGIUM
ALMOST INESTIMABLf

Brussels, Jan. 17.-Thus far it has
been impossible to estimate the extent
OF damage caused in Belgium by the
Germans or to fix even approximate
ly' the amount of indemnity which
Belgium will demand from Germany
In the majority of the factories
which the Belgians were allowed to
operate during German occupation,
the plant remains, but everywhere all
stocks of raw material have been en-
tirely removed.
In the other factories, which the
Belgians were not allowed to operate.
there was a systematic removal of
all the machinery which was dlsman-
tied and sent to Germany. The names
OF the German manufacturers to whom
the machinery was shipped have been
ascertained.
Belgian industrial circles seem to
be divided whether to attempt to re.
cover the stolen machinery from Ger.

make the Germans pay for it.

scant courtesy at Paris; the estab-
lishment of equality of trade condi-
tions among nations consenting tc
the peace Is nowhere to be found In
this instrument; the earlier doctrine
of no annexations and no indemni-
ties long since became tragic joke;
and there remains alone, so far as
present negotiations have been re-
duced to written form, the general
association of nations established by
specific covenant.
Neither can we fix here any con-
firmation of the prediction that this
treaty was to be written in disregard
of the old order of the balance OF
power, and with no element of ma
tional commercial greed. All the ele-
ments of greed, national suspicion
and Jealousy are only too evident In
almost every article of the treaty.
1T naturally follows that treaty
such as this, cannot be self operative
and we have been assured that II
we examine it, we shall find that
where throughout it's manifold
provisions, it's trainers have felt
obliged to turn to the league of ma
tions as the indispensable instrument
tally for the maintenance of the new
order which this instrument purpo-
SEES to set up.
Il wish to call attention to the
manner in which the signatories to
the instrument have separated them
selves into two distinct groups-the
first comprising the United States,
the British empire, France, Italy and
Japan, and everywhere throughout
the treaty described as the principal
allied and associated powers" and
the second, all the other belligerents-

Bllingsley's cause. Tie governor saw
In DR., Jones material for the place, and
so called into his private Office one OF
the delegation after this conference,
and told him that he saw In Mr.. Jones
good material for the position which he
SO earnestly sought for another. and In
but a day or two Mr.. Jones received
the notification OF his appointment, ask

During Patterson's administration the
bill known as the general education

placing this institution on a high plane
and standard for efficiency. It's sue

Jones' management and ability.
"Dr. Jones goes to no strange field
or strange people, but returns home
and will receive a glad welcome back
to Chattanooga where his selection for
this position is no experiment by those
people.

in the delimitation of the new
frontier line between Belgium and
Germany 1t is not the league of ma
tions, but commission of seven per-
sons, five of whom will be appointed
by the principal allied and associated
powers, who will assume this task. In
matters of controversy relating to
the return of Alsace- Lorraine to
French posse ssion, 1t is not the league
of nations which functions, but the
central Rhine commission, an organi-
cation set up years ago under the old
order, and now made use of in the
light of new day. In the establish
ment of the new Czecho- Slovak state
1t is not the league of nations which
will determine its frontiers but it is
the principal allied and associated
powers. Similarly with Poland, and
so. too, with East Prussia.
Germany renounces its rights and
titles over Danzig not to the league of
nations. but in favor of the principal
allied and associated powers. who are
frontier. So, too. with the redistribu-
ton of sovereignty over Schleswig. The
limitation of ornaments has been pre-
scented to us as one of the fundamental
purposes of the league. Yet nowhere
in the instrument does this appear to
be the fact. Throughout the wholeline

to say that it is not to the league of
nations but to Japan that Germany re-
nounces her rights, title and privileges
under the provision of the treaty.
THE diminution of German forces
upon the sea is likewise deemed by the
treaty of too much Importance to be
turned over to the league of nations.
THE task of reparation will rest in
the hands of an interallied commission.
In this day of open covenants openly
arrived at, it is interesting further to
treaty that all proceedings of this COM
mission shall be private. unless for
special reasons and on particular occa-
sions the committee shall decide other

treaty will convince others, as it has
convinced me, that the instrument is
infinitely worse for us than even the
league of nations, bad as 1t is: the
provisions of this treaty Immediately
and without recourse thrust us into the
endless snarls of attempting to set new
boundaries for contentious races in Eu-
rope and impose upon us a share in
the task of holding Germany in leash.

Greatness of City Does Not Dependon
Area or Numbers, Declares Chambliss
Mayor Principal Speaker at Regular Weekly Meeting of Kwan
Club-Selectons bY Quartet Feature Gathering.

THE greatness of a city does not
depend upon area or numbers" de-
clared A. w. Chambliss in an adj
dress upon "A Greater Chattanooga"
at the regular weekly session of the
Kiwanis club held during the noon
hour at the Patten Tuesday. Mayor
Chambllss has just been elected to
honorary membership, and at his
first meeting urged the support an
we'll as the sympathy of the club
members during his term as the
city's chief executive, declaring that
his entire administration would be
devoted to the good of Chattanooga
as he saw 1t.
Continuing. in speaking of the re-
suits of the war upon the minds Of
men he said in part: Matters have
taken their proportionate setting.
Men make greatness. No city can
be great unless 1t is built on the
energies of great hearted mon.
Now Bill Impossible.
Annexation is an outspreading, an
increasing in area" he declared.
Whether we build in area or not,
we can build upward toward the
stars" The mayor declared that II
is hardly likely that a special session
of the legislature could be called for
the purpose of putting through an
annexation bill and that this method
of anneXing the territory around
Chattanooga might just as we'll be
abandoned. In order to annex, the
supporters must proceed under the
statutes provided by law. Twenty
five per cent. of the voting population
of the territory to be annexed must
express their favor by signing a pc
tition before the territory can be an
nexed under the law.
Provisions must be made for the
territory annexed in this case, said
the mayor. He expressed confidence
that enough territory can be annexed
in this manner to make the popula-
tion come within the federal census
credit limit. The mayor suggested a
limited municipal plan of annexation.
Extend to the people of the district
annexed certain things, leaving open
provisions for improvements made
possible by future bond issue. For
instance, he said, police and fire pro-
lection might be given Immediately,
together with health service, while
the status of schools, streets and
roads might stand for the time be-
ing as at present. The county trus-
