Her Majesty had a heart Of

The king. and from that moment

At the station an old woman mis-
took the king for a porter. and

not understand why he refused her

books presented a bouquet 10 queen

WE ATE FOUR MILLION
TONS OF SUGAR IN 1915
Broke All Previous Records of Sweet
Consumption by Half Million

New York, March 11.-The United
States consumed more sugar during
1919 than ever before in its history
according to the annual report of the
American Sugar Refining company is.
sued yesterday The total consump
tion approximated 100000 tons
which is 100000 tons greater than in
1918 and 100000 tons more than that
OF the previous record year, 1915.
Half of he amount used here came
from Cuba and only about one quarter
from domestic cane and beet. The
balance was made up by supplies from
Porto Rico the Philippines. Hawaii
and various other regions. Cuba's out
put of sugar last year, it Is asserted,
was one-quarter of the world pro
duction, whereas domestic produc-
ton was only one.twentfeth.
The American Sugar Refining com.
pany increased its volume of business
during last year to $S00,000,000, as
compared with $2OO.0OO,0OO in 1918.
The operating profit, as compared to
total business was only three cents
on each dollar of turnover, and is
described as margin so narrow as
to be very near an even break. AS
regards the entire sugar business of
the country the report states that the
portion falling to the American
Sugar Refining company was only 27
per cent in 1919, whereas in 1900 the
company was doing 60 per cent OF the
business. The activity of competitors
has grown correspondingly 1t is to
place the company in a position to
share in the general growth of the
sugar business that it is increasing its
capacity making ready to build re-
finery at Baltimore and has purchased
a raw sugar plantation in Cuba. The
company owns six of the % sugar re-
tineries in the country.

son of his drastic enforcement of new

The Ebert government underwent
many changes by reason Of political,
economic and popular demands.
/ The first real crisis to threaten the
Ebert regime, however, arose over
the question of accepting the peace
treaty terms Ebert, Scheidemann
and other leaders we're opposed to
4 yielding to the Entente demands
Scheidemann resigned and pro-
treaty cabinet including DR.. August
Mueller and ex-labora secretary Bauer,
former socialist member of the Reich
stag, was organized. Buer in speech
at Weimar before the National AS
sembly denounced the treaty in
strong terms bat announced the gov
ernment's decision to sign.
For weeks before the revolution
broke out N Berlin there was steady
run on German banks, Ebert, then
Chancell0r had conference in Ber-
lin on November 25, 1918 with 10
delegates from various parts of Ger
many, said: Everything was in ruin
when we took charge. Now however.
= Socialistic republic has replaced
the monarchy and power has been put
in he hands of the workmen and SOL
diers." The first aim to be achieved,
he said, was peace and security of an
economic basis. Liberty, he maintain
ed, was worthless without food, ans
employment and it was as q result of
this conference that the National AS
sembly met last spring devise a
constitutional form of government.
Meanwhile the provisional govern
ment had been in an almost constant
state of flux Ministers came and
went. Owing to scarcity of food,
clothing and fuel, conditions in many
parts of Germany were repored des-
perate and there were many rumors
that Soviet government would super
cede the Ebert regime.
President Ebert had the backing of
the Moderates of Germany almost
from the beginning. One reason for
this was that when he succeeded
Prince Maximilian he announced that
property rights would be respected,
that no banks would be seized and
that the government would uphold
the German war losses and pay all
claims on the state.
The President in New Year mani
festo said that 1920 would decide
whether Germany would maintain
herself as a nation A week later he
was threatened by mob in Stutt-
gart. On the preceding December IL
the Ebert cabinets fall was reported
as likely as result of the Allied
demands over the Scapa Flow sinking.

BEEF CONSUMPTION

Exports, Too, Fell Off More Than
one-HaIf During Year End
ing December 81, 1919

Washington. March 1S.--High re-
tail prices in 1919 reduced the per
capita consumption of beef in Ameri-
ca almost eight pounds and caused
the consumer to turn more fire.
quently to mutton and yeals, ac-
cording to statement yesterday
by the department of agriculture.
81 ghtly more pork was eaten, but
the total of pork products was much
larger than 1918 and the exports of
pork and lard were greater than
eve shown in the records Of the
department.
The consumption was less than
in 1918, the per capita for 1918 being
15O.0S and that of 1919, 141.9S.
Beef exports were shown to have
fallen off 56.S per cent, but the
shipments of pork and lard to for
e 'gn ports showed great increase.
The exports were equivalent to
1s,00O,000 hogs weighing 200 pounds
apiece. Less pork and lard were
consumed in America, but the num-
ber of hogs slaughtered was mill
lion more han in 1918.
The reduction in foreign orders
was the heaviest blow received . by
the beef industry. The exports de-
lined 56.S per cent from the pre-
vious year. The department at
tributed the falling off Of exports to
the return of European countries to
the cheaner sources of supply in
South America and Australia.

SERVICE CERTIFICATES
FOR ALL IN WORLD WAR
Questionnaires Should Be Promptly
Returned to Office of Adjutant
General in Montpelier

The Adjutant Generals office in
Montpelier has just completed the
sending out of over $4,000 question:
naires to all men and women who
were in military service, from Yer
mont during the world war. This
QUESTIONABLE is sent out to secure
as early as possible a full and tue
record of the details of every per
sons service. From these records,
verified by the records of the War De
partment. there will later he compiled
the roster and othel, statistics of the
Vermont men and women who saw
military service in this world war.
Due to the difficulty of securing the
names and addresses of every person
to whom these questionnaires should
be sent it is quite possible that there
are those who have not yet received
one who should. If there is any per
son who served in this war who has
not yet received one of these question
naires, it would be much appreciated
Iby this office if that person would
write to this office requesting that one
be sent him.
Just as rapidly as these records OF
service can be verif' ed and the certi
ficates prepared, the engraved certi
ficates of service will be sent out to
eve person who has filed a question
naire. Due to the labor involved in
verifying thesa records and writing the
certif Gates, it will necessarily be some
time before all can be mailed out from
this office.
