Louisiana Sugar Notes.

While reports from Cuba. show
improvement in labor conditions the
receipts of raw sugar at New Or
leans during the past week were in
excess of the receipts during the
previous week The timely arrival
of these sugars will enable the Chal-
mette Plant of the American Sugar
Refining Company to operate, 1t
least for the present, on an increased
melting basis.
There is no change in the refined
sugar situation since last adVices.
The American is distributing to their
regular trade for shipment as .sooI
as possible A much better inquiry
is noted for the limited amount OF
Louisiana sugars now available, the
lower grades or seconds being se-
ported in very good demand.

assured his hearers that some way
would be found to operate merchant
tonnage produced during, or result
of the war and to restore the Ameri-

upon carrying American goods in
American bottoms.
Mr.. Haniels also reiterated his
position as to the strnegth of the bat
tie feet and said that work on the
naval building program would not
be stopped. AS to American naval
power, he said:
J "No man is stronger advocate OF
the league than 1, but in the present
perturbed conditions of the world
the league must have police force
on the seas and want the United
States to have a force in that police
force as large as any other nation
/ Without the league, he added, thu
American navy should be ''incompar
ably greater than any other.

in Amsterdam dispatches as sent Il
the rulers and presidents of other
powers opposed to Germany in the

were killed in France is advocated
by Mai Gen. George Barnett, COM

suggests the erection of number OF
tablets suitably inscribed as the
quickest and most suitable manner
of commemorating the deeds of the

on which they fought.
This method of marking historic
ground has been successfully: carried
out at Gettysburg and Antietam.
The Secretary of the Navy has
