Mr.. CAPPER URGES
SUGAR PRICE WAR
Senator, in Article, Asserts
U. S. Should Take Steps
to End Profiteerinq.

Senator Arthur Capper Of Kansas, in
a signed article in Cappers Weekly,
has urged that the government take
steps to put an end to pronteering
in sugar and to bring about an equi-
table distribution Of the sugar sup
plies to the American people.
"The government" said Senator
Capper. should lock tho doors by put
ting an embargo on exports of sugar.
then should seize sugar stocks. dis
tribute them to the consumer through
the post onace. II need be putting
candy makers and soft drink manu-
lecturers on rationa
This would be good business for
the government and would deliver the
people out of tho hands Of the sugar
exploiters. while at the same time it
would be q forceful warning to other
evildoers and a striking demonstra-
ton to the public of the usefulness Of
its parcel post.
Gives Case I'm Point.
"A recent day in April 10000 pounds
OF sugar was mailed by the Franklin
refinery in Philadelphia to a whole
saler in Washington, D. C. The sugar
was sold at the refinery at 14.2 cents
q pound. The parcel post rate was
IL cent pound. This made the deliv-
cry price to the wholesaler 1873 cents
q pound.
'Some Of this sugar was sold to en-
ployes Of the Washington post ONCE
AZ ~ cents pound. whereupon the
Post once Department store sought
to buy fifteen tons or $4,000 pounds
from the refinery, but was informed
the order would have to be placed
through q Washington sugar broker,
VINO would be compelled to distribute
IL to several firms. and that the Incl
dental costs and profits would make
the price OF the sugar % to rs cents
e pound when 1t reached the hands OF
the consumer.
There Is an object lesson here IN
the high cost Of distribution. When
that cost adds 10 cents to the price
OF single pound OF sugar on the way
from a refinery in Philadelphia to the
ultimate consumer in Washington,
distribution IL unduly complicated and
expensive.
But the great and important thins

permitting q guarantee Of national
safety to be attacked. Neither people
nor government should tolerate e&eh
q situation. Therefore, an exajNs
must be made"

 Independence For Philippines
 Allow me to call your attention to the fact that the people of the Phil ippine Islands have succeeded in maintaining a stable government since the last action of the congress in their behalf, and have thus fulfilled the condition set by the congress as precedent to a consideration of grant ing independence to the islands. I respectfully submit that this condition precedent having been fulfilled. it is now our liberty and our duty to keep our promise to the people of those is- lands by granting them the indepen- dence which they so honorably covet.
 q have not so much laid before you a series of recommendations, gentle men, IS sought to utter a confession of faith of the faith in which I was bred and which it is my solemn pur- pose to stand by until by last fighting day. I believe this to be the faith of America, the faith of the future, and of all the victories which await na- tional action in the days to come whether in America or elsewhere.

 Near East Typhus
[RepubIlcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

GENEVA, Dec War against typhus in the Near East occupied the attention Of the league assembly this morning to the exclusion of virtually all else. The debate was widespread in its scope. the representatives of all climes and races taking part.
 Sir George k. Foster of the Canadian delegation led the van with a ringing appeal to the world to stamp out the dread disease. which is gradually spreading over Europe. Others who spoke represented India, China, Per sia, Norway, Greece, Spain. France, Great Britain, Holland and Rumania. large part of the 250, 900 pounds re- quested to set the campaign in motion was pledged and the committee which will be appointed to get the balance probably will succeed without much difficulty. This is regarded as triumph for the assembly over the council, which has twice appealed for these funds without success.
 Ignace Jan Paderewski of Poland pointed out the grave sanitary condi- tions in Poland due to the fact that more than two million prisoners of war and refugees had passed through Po- land since 1914 under conditions that made it impossible to prevent the out break of the disease.
 Prince Aria Ed -Dowleh, the Persian delegate, said it was no longer true
 that epIdemics were brought westward from Asia, but that typhus was invad- | ing Persia from the west. Dr. Yelling | ton Roo of China and Jamor. prince of
 Now Nowanguggen, India, were among the other orators in this picturesque debate.

Mass Dec. 7.-The palm trees of Llang Llang, a small island south of the Philippines, are ready to wave a welcome and 1,500 dusky natives wait the chance to jab- Der greeting to a sergeant of United States marines whom they regard as their sultan, according to war de- partment announcement today that Robert A. McClain, a machinist of this town, thinks applies to him.
 For the old sultan is dead and Me Clain said he was made his adopted son, and by right of inheritance is the ruler of the island.
 The war department announcement was in the form of an ina Iiry for Robert A. McClain, x-marine, who saw service in Llang Llang in 1910
 McClain wrote the department that he was the man referred to and he has just received a reply confirming the report of the sultans death and saying that his claim would be re- ferred to the bureau Of insular affairs which would advise him later. 1 Ten years ago, McClain, as a marine sergeant on duty at Llang Llang to subdue a Moro uprising | rescued the aged ruler from a party of marines who were treating him without consideration for his roya estate. McClain said he carried the sultan to the royal grass bed chamber made him comfortable and forgot tho | incident.
 But the sultan remembered 1t ant a few days later assembled the head man of the tribe and proclaimed the adoption of his big white benefactor as l a son.
 Now the sultan is dead. leaving sev eral pearl fisheries, many groves o cocoanut palms and a harem, in addi- ton to the royal palace of grass tha covers two acres
 McClain wrote the war departmen Tor information concerning his title tt the property which he seeks to secure except the harem. For that he make, no claim-he is married
