The productive area of sugar beets in
Germany has been reduced by $50, 600
acres and it is estimated that 500, 900
acres will have to be restored to get the
former production Of the German empire.
It is estimated that 500 pounds Of nitro
Gen fertilizer will have to be used for
every acre, an the fact that sugar beets
in Germany showed the lowest sugar
content of beets in years points to the
fact that what Germany needs more than
ANYTHING else is enough fertilizer to raise
the quality of her beets as we'll as the

LABOR Will LAUNCH
WAR
Campaign Directed Against
Those Opposing Collective
Bargaining Principle.

Labors campaign against the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, many of whose members are
looking out union employees, will be
submitted to the Central Labor Union
tonight for its approval
As a result Of the preparatory work
by the committee of twenty-five 1t is
probable that the Central Labor Union
will unite solidly with the National
Press committee in it's fight against
Secretary Charles j Columbus and
President King of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association for their
denunciation OF the campaign for a
vote in the District.
Recommendations of the Committee
Of Twenty-Five must first be approved
by the central labor body before they
are effective.
The chief recommendation will be
for a systematic boycott of all firms
who refuse to recognize the right of
collective bargaining; next in import
ance Is the ablishment of a chain
of cooperative stores to be patronized
by union labor and Government en-
ployes.
The campaign already is in effect t.
some extent, a long list of unfavor-
able firms having been prepared by
the Central Labor Union.

the publicity given the work of pro-
hibition agents, saying that II was
making the task OF the agents more
difficult. Since the newspapers OF
Washington told OF the activities Of
the revenue agents. about three weeks
ago, there has been q noticeable slack.
ening up OF the work OF the agents,
and few arrests have been mado. The
prohibition agents do not believe that
the whiskey traffic OF Washington
has been broken up. but that due to
the publicity give theiL efforts, the
liquor traders are more cautious than
they have been. According to Mr..
Stone, the WORK OF his men is purely
investigation. Publicity and investi-
cation do not go well together, he
says
According to prohibition agents, the
bureau is watching with anxiety the
number OF cases in the States, in
which the constitutionality OF some
OF the arrests is being questioned.
! At present, the prohibition agents
are working under three separate
and distinct laws, and 1T is this situ-
alton that is causing the legal tan
giles. Search warrants are being is
sued under the espionage act, which
II is contended, applies to the
searching OF q dwelling for papers,
and not liquor. Many of the arrests
are being made under the prohibi-
tion law, and the penalties are being
imposed under the revenue act.
revenue agent who has been one
OF the most active in the Washington
office said this morning that it was
the opinion of the majority of the
agents that prohibition would never
be really enforced in Washington or
anywhere else in the country. He
cited the recent rulings of the depart
ment modifying the prohibition laws,
especially the one relating to home
brew. as an indication of the revenue
bureaus opinion Of the enforcement
of the laws.
He suggested that the only prohibi-
ton law that could be enforced was
liquor in their homes. but which
would provide q Jail penalty for any
one found intoxicatedsi in the streets.
1t should be mandatory on the judge
to impose Jail sentences for such
violations.
The docket in Commissioner Hits
office for this week is filled with
violations of the prohibition law,
which have gone over from former
days. The revenue agents last week
requested many continuances. due to
the fact, they say. that they have
been so busy in the enforcement Of
the law that they have not had time
to prepare cases against accused per-
sons. The case of Dr. Robert +.
Jones, colored. charged with issuing
fraudulent prescriptions. which 1T is
claimed were stolen, will be up for
hearing. The case was continued
from Saturday. and 1t is possible that
it will be continued again today at
the request of counsel for DR.. Jones.

There's q chapter in the eventful
career OF George White. the new
Democratic chairman. that breathes
the romance OF the Yukon, with all
the thrills. all the heart-throbs of a
movie reel-and ending with "a grand
climax such as "Mary's Husband
would choose for the frst picture in
which he and "Our Mary" would ap-
pear.
1t is the story of a pennilcss young
man. impelled by the "desire Of the
moth for the star" who struck II
rich in the gold fields of the Klon-
dixie. returning with a pocket-full OF
nuggets to claim the heroine from her
proud and disdainful father.
GEORGE SPOKE FOR HIMSELF.
More than that. it is the story OF
the romantic part that youthful love
played in the amassing OF a great
fortune, and the moral OF it is good
for what it's worth.
Back in the nineties. Miss Charlotte
McKelvey was the belle of Titusville.
Pa, and the gallants from far and
wide came to pay her courtship,
Among the young moths who dared
to express a desire for the star, was
care-free Princeton graduate whose
worldly possessions consisted of a
thin purse and winning manner.
But there was something about the
unbuinesslike George White that won
him first place in the affections OF
Charlotte Mckelvy. But of all the
beauX that focked to the shrine,
young White was the one least favor
ed by the wealthy parent.
Despite all discouragements, the
poor young man mustered up his
courage and one day strode up the
steps of the rich mans house and de-
manded the hand of his daughter in
marriage.
"sHOw ME 100000 OR BEAT IT."
Young man." replied the indignant
father in his most scornful tone, re
turn with 100000 and you can marry
my daughter" He did not reckon
with whom he was dealing.
Nothing daunting, the poor young
man clenched his empty fists and re-
sponded. Alright, then, l will
