ARE STEALING CARGOES
 BOUND FOR AUSTRALIA

London, May 9-A despatch to the London Hines from Sydney New South Wales, says that recent experiences have indicated that a gang of men with worldwide ramifications are engaged in, stealing from cargoes on their way to Australia from English and American ports. The cost to shipping companies and merchants, it is said, has aggre- gated thousands of pounds sterling an- nually. The offering has taken place prior to shipment from the points of origin, during transmission and after ar rival at destinations. At Sydney 15.000 pounds sterling worth of goods have been stolen since Christmas time and other ports have suffered in a similar manner.
 As an indication of the extent to which the thieves are carrying out their work it may be mentioned that a piano shipped from London was taken from the shipping case and the case filled with bricks. Other cases, supposedly containing costumes of silk goods. ar- rived at their destination stuffed with i newspapers, while boxes of mercha ndise from New York were found to be filled with shavings
 Owing to the finesse of the thieves ir extracting cases and reseaiing them says the correspondent. it is almost inn possible to detect those that have been tempered with. The correspondent as.

AMERICANS INVEST IN
 GERMAN ELECTRIC COMPANY

Berlin, May S-Commenting on the announcement that prominent group of h11-~rican financiers had purcheshed a 250OO, 900 mark block of new shares of the German General Electric Com out that as the payment for the shares pany the newspaper Vorwaerts points is 10 be in dollars it is plain that the General Electric Company desires to pay for it's American raw materials with shares The shares bought by the Amer jeans, which were part of the 10O,000,- 900 mark increase in the capital stock, could have easily been placed here, says the newspaper.
 The Americans, however, continues Vorwaerts, evidently do not desire Ger man paper nor General Electric pro- ducts. and are taking previous dividend bearing shares instead Thus the Ger man workers are permanently made to pay tribute to foreign capital, for it is their labor that earns the dividends
 If the General Electric Company s raw materials had been obtained by ex- change against American potash and other wares we would have been spared | this liability"

HOOVER RECOMMENDS
 THE RATIONING OF SUGAR.

Washington. May 9.-Rationing of sugar. to manufacturers of non-essen- tisls and an agreement between the Unit ed States and foreign countries not to bid against each other for this commodity were suggested by Herbert Hoover as means of relieving the present sugar sit- uation.
 Mir. Hoovers suggestions were con- tained in a telegram to Senator Cap per, republican, Kansas, in response to one of inquiry from the senator Mir. Hoover said the government was prim- arily responsible for the present situa-. ton through the failure to purchase the Cuban crop.
 The present sugar position is dus. simply to bad business administration" said Mir. Hoover. Last September the administration could have bought the Cuban sugar crop at six and one-hslf cents per pound for raw sugar. This would have given 12 cent sugar to our consumers. As the result of the failure to act in this matter. we are participat- ing in the world shortage of sugar due to decreased European production, and we aer subject to unparalleled speculation and profiteerinG. The increase in prics is imposing an additional tax on our peo- pie of about $50 per family per annum-

Washington. May "A call to the democratic party to go into the campaign standing four-square in favor of the treaty of Versailles and against the sen ate's reservations was issued tonight by President Wilson in telegram to Oregon democratic leaders made public at the White House.
 Declaring that the party had ''the hon or of the nation" in it's hands, the presi- dent said that the Lodge reservations were utterly inconsistent" with that honor as well as destructive of the role of world leadership which the United States must assume.
 The only true Americanism. the presi- dent said, was that which puts America at the front of free nations and redeems the great promises which we made to the world" It would be violation of such promises. he said. to attach reservations to the treaty which ''whittle. it down or weaken it as the republican leaders of the senate have proposed to do"
 The telegram was in response to the following message from c. F. Hamaker of Portland, Ore. chairman of the Mutt nomah county democratic central com mittee:
 "Primary election May Fist. Please wire whether you consider it important to nominate candidates pledged to ratify Versailles treaty without Lodge reserya- lions.'
 'Le reply of the president follows:
 q think it imperative that the party should at once proclaim itself the uncom- promising champion of the nations honor and the advocate of everything that the l Jfnitsi States can do in the service of humanity; that it should therefore en- worse and support the Versailles treaty and condemn the Lodge reservations a: utterly inconsistent with the nations honor and destructive of the world lead | ership which it had established, anC which all the free peoples of the world ] including the great powers themselves l had shown themselves ready to welcome
