SUGAR PROF|TEERS
TO Be PROSECUTED
UNDER M'NARY BILL
Lower Prices Predicted for the
Near Future as Result of I'm
ports New Cuban Crop Says
Food Administration.

Washington, Jan. .. - Sugar profi-
teers will be prosecuted by the govern
ment under the McNary bill, which
extends the power of the sugar equal
ization board during 1920, 1t was stated
today at the food administration divi-
sion of the department of Justice.
Lower prices and more sugar were
predicted for the near future as a re-
suit of imports OF the new Cuban crop
and the elimination of profiteering.
No definite price for sugar will be
fixed for the whole country or any one
district, because government attorneys
claim the president does not have this
power under the McNary bill.
The only power is to prevent prof
iteering.
The governments plan to control
prices Is:
Large distributors of sugar, prob
ably those who do an annual business
of 100000 or more. would be licensed
by the sugar equalization board. This,
under the McNary bill, is authorized
for the first six months Of 1920. A
reasonable profit will be allowed them,
but exorbitant sugar prices will be
investigated and IL it is found that
undue profits are being made, the Ii
cense to do business will be revoked.

Of important cities and even empires.
Here are some untold facts abou.
the Gallipoli campaign which will show
how near the capital Of the Turkish
empire was to being taken by the
British. and how they managed, after
the campaign had led to failure, to
withdraw their forces from most per-
ilous position, practically without loss
Of life.
1t will be remembered that the Brit
ish military measures aiming at the
conquest OF Constantinople, went hand
in hand with q terrific bombardment
of the Turkish forts controlling the
entrance to the Dardanelles. The ar
tillery of these forts consisted, to a
considerable part. of German long bar
rel guns of modern construction, and
although the Turkish strongholds were
built on rather antiquated lines. they
certainly were very hard nuts to crack,
the two forts at the very entrance of
the straits, that of Sed-il- -Bahr on the
European side and Fort Hamidieh, on
Asiatic soil, being the strongest and
strategically the most important.
When the British fleet began shelling
the forts, the vigor of the latters' re-
sistance came rather as a surprise.

FOREIGN POLICY ATTITUDE.

IF you should be nominated and
elected president, would you exert your
influence and the influence of your ad-
ministration to maintain the foreign
policy which the United States has ad-
hered to for $50 years or would you
consent In any way to its abandonment
or to its substantial modification?"
Borah cited the killing Of American
soldiers in Russia as an instance "of
what is to happen should we conclude
to abandon our traditional foreign
policy and enter into understandings
and combinations which would embroil
us in all European conflicts and tur-
moils." Pointing out that William III.
Taft, "as understand from his public
statement, is In favor Of conscriptins
our young men for that kind Of ssrv-
fce." Borah asked Lowdcn:
Are you In favor of any such pol
icy or Of any alliance. league or part
nership which may lead to such a pro-
gram? What is to be your policy with
regard to such affairs?"
Borah said he asked the questions
because Americans have a right to
know how candidates stand upon such
vital issues. He virtually dared Low

points where no appropriate post
could be found to place the markings
upon a square post was set up by the

tourists are travelling over this high
way daily and many cars from all the
