MILLION LBS. SUGAR
LOST IN N. Y. HARBOR
Copyright, 1920. Underwood Underwood.

New York, Aug. 11.-Thirteen
freight cars loaded with nearly a
million pounds of sugar for the
west went overheard from a car
hoat into the East River yesterday
of the piers of the National Sugar
refinery at Long Island City. The
float had just started in tow from
the company's piers to the shipping
point in Brooklyn. when it ran up
on rock and tilted at such an
angle that the cars rolled over their
wheel blocks and into the river.
Four of the cars dived out of sight
In deep water, and nine were partly
submerged; and in all the cargo was
ruined.

Mars White Spot
Signal to Earth,
Star Gazer Says

Paris, Aug. 1l.-Mars is at
tempting to signal the earth by
means OF telephotography. ac-
cording to Camille Flamarion, the
famous French astronomer.
He asserts that the white spot
which recently appeared on the
Marian equatorial plateau could
not possibly have been snow be-
cause this is the planets summer
time.
1t is the third time since 1879
that the noted spot, which can
not be accounted for except as
an effort by the Martians to COM
municate with the earth, has ap-
peared, he said.

ROUSES PEOPLE
Germans Say New Out

Berlin, Aug. 11.-Serious difficult
ties have arisen in the Saar Valley
between the population and the
French army of occupation, accord
ing to German sources. which may
result in a general uprising of the
workers. The state of siege de-
clared by the French commander
Friday as a result of a strike of
administrative officials has been
sharpened as counter measure
against fresh outbreak.
German versions of the occur
rences in the Saar stress the rights
of the population which, 1t is
pointed out. still refuse to work un-
der the conditions imposed by the
inter-allied administration.
The reports describe the French
military authorities "peremptory
measures" as having infuriated the
population which is trying sabotage
by way of retaliation.
Railway signals and switches
have been destroyed.
Particular concern is exhibited
here over the alleged suppression
by the French of Saar newspapers,
the arrest of editorial staffs and
the expulsion from the mails in the
occupied territory of certain Ber-
lin and Frankfort journals.

Shanghai. Aug. 11.-Members of
the Congressional party were shock
ed and disappointed by the Chinese
residents of Hangchow, who served
only grape juice and ice cream
sodas at the official banquet there.
Coolies carrying big containers of
the iced beverage Bryan made IA

from Shanghai
The Congressman smiled indul-
gently. thinking this only a begin
ner and intended as a subtle COM
pliment to the few dry members of
the party. But the hard liquor con-
tingent was greatly surprised later
to find at table with the governors
a feast magnificent with silver and
gold pitchers filled with the same
unauth5rTtdtiv beverage.
Following the banquet. members
Of the party took sedan-chair rides,
followed by a lake boating trip,
during which ice cream soda was
served. This proved too much for
Representative Dyer, of St. Louis,
who fell backward into the lake
when the glass was proffered him
Coolies fished him out unharmed.
Members of the Chinese committee
hastily requisitioned a native cos
tune in which he finished the trip
From HanEchOw the party has
gone to Nanking. the next stop on
the way to Peking. Some of the
COngressmen are said to have re-
quested their escorts to telegraph
the reception committees of other
cities that they had had enough
grape juice at HanEchow to last
the rest of their lives, and also that
they hoped never to look another

To do this, however, it is necessary
to have the cooperation and interest
of every citizen Ordinances can be

ity upon public opinion. and law un-

Irigidly enforced, and if it become
necessary, will be. 1t is infinitely
