ONE PEACEFUL
SPOT IN WORLD
New Republic Of Georgia, Although in
Russia, is Free From Horrors OF
Civil War at
Present.

LONDON, (By Mail despite all
reports to the contrary, there is one
spot in Europe where peace and pros
perity reigns And, incongruous as
it may seem, this one spot is in Rus
STA.
Down in the newly created, republic
of Georgia, the scars of war are In
visible. In this little principally,
bounded by the Black and Caspian
seas on the west and east respective
ly, Armenia on the south and the
Caucasus on the north, quiet ana
completely normal life exists, accord
ing to the Georgian foreign minister,
who has arrived in London to confer
with Premier Lloyd George and Earl
Curzon, head of the foreign Office.
! The Georgian diplomat attributed
the enviable state of affairs in his
country to the temperament of the
Georgians, their geographical location
and the political self-controf of the
government.
1--WE have been absolutely free from
| the horrors of civil war which has
torn asunder the former Russian en-
pire," said M. GugushVili In Geor-
gia-the oasis of peace in the near
! east-the revolution did not disturb
the state as it did in most of Russia.
On the contrary it created a state on
purely democratic basis. This Is
the best proof of the political maturi-
ty of the Georgian people.
"Now firmly established, with their
own government, it is the wish of the
Georgians to Undue the culture Of the
old countries of Europe. We want
foreign capital, knowledge and exper'
fence to come to our country IN
friendly way in order to utilize its
wealth to our mutual advantage"
! The greatest stumbling block in the
wav of economic intercourse with
other nations, according to the foreign
minister. is the hes!tancy of European
nations in recognizing the complete
independence of the newly created re-
public.
! Several Of the entente nations have
recognized the de facto government
but are Withholding de jure recogni
ton because of the stand taken by the
United States in regard to Russia
Americas "watchful waiting" policy
together with her refusal to approve
the upbreaking of the old empire ant
the establishment Of Independent,
states out of the various provinces, Il
is pointed out, prevents American az
well as foreign capital from seeking
investments and developing the i'm
,mense natural resources.

Tho Flau Never Statutes.

. Duluth Herald: There has been
much comment, on this side of the
ocean as we'll as the other, because
during the recent international
scout iamboree" IN London the
American Boy Scouts did not dip
their flag in salute, as the scouts of
all other countries did.
Even when the ceremonies were
held in honor of the war dead, the
American flag remained steadily up
right when all other flags were
dipped. When King George reviewed
the Scouts, again our flag remained
stationary while all other flags
saiuted him.
It is reported that this unfortunate
event" left an "unfav orable impress
sion" and critical comments have
come from some quarters of this
country also.
But there win be no criticism II
any quarter where the rules OF the
flag are finown, and especially there
will be no criticism from anybody
who has read the infantry drill regu
lations. For there these very plair
words appear: "The national color
ever salutes." Every citizen, anc
all state. regimental and other 1ag!
render tribute to the Stars anc
Stripes. But proud Old Glory neve
ducks a courtesy, even to the prcsi
dent of the United States.
The American Boy Scouts in Lon
don were simply obeying primar.
rule governing the use of the flag.

GORGED WITH
SUGAR NOW
Authorities Say There IS More in
This Country Now Than Fever
Before-Price Dropping,
Profiteers Worrying.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The trials
and tribulaions of sugar consumers,
brought on by the war, and added to
BY profiteers and spectators, are
ended forever!
In other words, sugar prices will
not go up again this year or next
year. There is plenty of sweetening
to 60 around and the United States
will have more sugar next year than
the people can use. In fact, the whole
world will have an abundant supply.
Profiteers, SPECTATORS and hoard
ers are doing the worrying. They
still have much of the sugar and are
going to sell it for less than they
paid. OF course, millions have been
made in sugar, but now those same
fellows are going to drop some OF
their ill-gotten coin. The wholesale
price has dropped from 261k cents tn
i4k cents the last few weeks. and 1t
is sure to stay down, and even go
lower.
Statistics of production and sup
plies give good indication Of what
may be expected in the way Of prices
lor the remainder of this year and
Tor next year. The 1919 Cuban :rop
Just closing is estimated at 3,750. ooG
tons. with $4,000 tons yet to be
shipped. Last years production was
estimated at 3,972,00 tons. The total
worlds production of cane sugar
available during the calendar year
Tor 1920 Is estimated to be 11.S09, 600
TONS, as compared with 11,9S6,000
TONS The year before, and beet sugar
a'S46,900 tons, as compared with
100000 last year.
The worlds production for this
year Is thus only about one and one
quarter million tons less. than last
year. But the United States has re
ceiVed more than her share Of the
crop. as is shown by total receipts t.
sSeptember 16 at all ports of 1887,

Autos Replace cameis on Desert.

Washington Post: What French
engineers, by the sinking of wells,
have wrought in Transforming the
desert places in the Algerian Sahara
into fruitful gardens is nothing less
than miraculous in the minds of the
Arabian chiefs, who have doubled and
ouadrupled their fortunes because OF
it." said A. G. Howard. Scarcely
less wonderful, according TO Arab
RECKONING, are the roads which the
French have built through this sec
ton. In connection with this project
It is interesting to note the large de-
mand for American windmills IN Iu-
nisia. where statesmen already have
made the landscape look as American
as posstble. Between Tunis and
Carthage I saw hundreds Of Anerl-
can windn7ills. One is perched on
the edge of the ruins of an ancient
/ Carthaginian amphuitheater which
was destroyed by the Romans l,Seo
wears ago. From talks with natives
II appears that the windmiHs are de-
liyering the goods and that many more
will be brought In as soon as the
rate of exchange is more favorable
cone of the first aspects of this
new prosperity has been the gradual
diappearance of the camel. In the
Iunenhghtened days the nomad was
satisfied to jog along on the backs
of swaying dromedaries, carrying figs

the desert. There was no competition
