PRICE OF SUGAR BREAKS.
Spectators in East Scared and Beain
to Cut Eiuures.

New York. Aug. 13.-Heavy de-
creases in the sugar market, fore
shadowed by movements during the
last few days, took place today. One
large dealer reduced his list price on
the fine granulated from 21 cents to
q fraction over II cents a pound, and
raw sugar sold on basis of 1904
cents. which was 10 cents per pound
less than the high level Of three
months ago.
A pronounced weakness in raw
sugar began early in the week, no.
tably in future contracts, in exchange
and in the spot market. Second
hand' sugar, or speculative stocks,
have been offered for some days at
1s cents per pound for fine granu-
lated, but no weakening on she part
of refiners was In evidence until to-
day.
Holders of large stocks of sugar
expressed the fear that they had
over-stayed their. market.

French Premier comends Note to
Italy Defining Americas Attitude
Toward Russia-Expressed Aims
Interpreted as Meaning Opposition
to- Dismemberment or Division of
Russia Proper.

By Associated Press.
Paris, Aug. l3.-The French gov
ernment is sending note to the
United States expressing pleasure
that the French and American views
on the Russo Polish situation "are
in complete accord" it was learned
here today.
The note, which is 500 words long,
and is signed by Premier Millerand,
recapitulates the conclusions in the
American note to Italy, saying that
France reaches an Identical con-
clusion."
It adds that France never varied
in Its intention to support the prin-
ciples so closely formulated by the
government Of the United States -
The French note says it was with
these principles in mind that France
recognized Gen. Baron Wrangel, an
bolsheyik commander in south
Russia, and decided not to approve
the soviet's terms to Poland unless
they conformed with these princi-
pies. 1t concludes that France is
happy to note once again the most
thorough harmony between the SEN
timents uniting the American and
French peoples when there Is at
stake the future OF civilization
A copy of the note was given Le-
land Harrison, secretary OF the
American embassy.
Same Objects Sought.
The American reply to Italy. as
embodied in the note to Secretary
OF State Colby. is taken by the
Temps as proof that the American
policy toward Russia has essentially
the same object as that of France.
This is, says the newspaper, the
pacification Of Russia, which France
does not desire to see subdiyided,
Germanized or >anarchized.
Plans are under consideration for
a renewal of the conference recent
ly held between Premier Lloyd
George Of Great Britain and Premier
Millerand of France, it was learned
today. It was said that others might
also attend the conference.

RAILROADS GAIN NEW "PEP."
Both Employees and Executives Take
on New Life Thru Boosts.

Both Employees and Executives Take
on New life Thru Boosts.
New York, Aug. 13.-The railroad
situation has improved in the last
few days, because the employees have
begun to work hard and the execu-
tiyes have regained their enthusiasm
since thexincrease in pay and rates,
according to Daniel Willard, presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company and chairman of the
advisory committee of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives.
He testified today at the hearing OF
the United States senate committee
on reconstruction, of which Senator
Calder is chairman.
Mr.. Willard agreed with Senator
Calder that the United States gov
ernment could alleviate the car
shortage considerably by using
shipping board vessels.
Mr.. Willard concluded three hours
of testimony with his optimistic state
ment about the railroad prospect, say
ing:
"The workmen seem to be generally
satisfied with the wage increases and
from all directions I hear men are
working better. Officers Of the roads
themselves have got new life. Most
of the roads have been potentially
busted for two years. It isn't human
for man to get up on his tiptoes
and do the best that is in him when,
when he is done, he has got nothing
to show for it.
To-day the roads are potentially as
seen the railroad managers in this
country making greater efforts than
they are making today to give SER
vice and meet new standards. There
is going to be steady increase. be-
ginning right away, in the amount
OF business done.
"As a matter of fact, you are al,
ready beginning to get the benefit
of the rate increase, and the rate
increase has not yet gone into eff
feet"
Mr. Willard defended the coal pri-
ority orders as an emergency meas
ure only. The fundamental cause, he
said, was that the railroads have
not the facilities to handle the -coun-
try's business, a situation which
necessarily creates emergencies, re-
quiring discrimination to some ex-
tent in favor of the most essential
classes of freight.
Tho carefully guarding his state
ments to avoid an attitude Of criti-
cism toward railroad management
under federal control, Mr.. Willard
said that failure to purchase new
equipment at the normal rate during

railroad executives had set for them

London, Aug. 13.-The opposition
of British labor to assistance in tho
war against soviet Russia was
voiced today with extraordinary We
hemence and absolute unanimity at a

satisfactisn~ the Russian govern
ment's declaration in favor Of the
complete independence of Poland, -
and pledged the British labor party
to resist any form of military inter-
vention against soviet Russia.
The meeting approved the action
of the triple alliance of labor organi-
zations in forming a council of action
to deal with the situation arising
from the governments policy toward
the war between Russia and Poland,
and 1t recommended the levy of a
half-penny upon every member to

party, in the house of commons. who
presided today. He asked them to

for minute, and the delegates
unanimously complied.
James II. Thomas, secretary Of the
national union of railway men, one
OF the principal speakers, said that
II circumstances demanded, it would
be for the whole labor movement to
decide upon direct action.
Tom Shaw, secretary Of the inter-
national textile workers, bitterly at
tackled the league Of nations for not
preventing Poland's offensive against
Russia The present conference he
said, was the beginning of a move
ment that will lead to real league"
War as Last Resort.
A significant reference to the pres
ent crisis was made by Premier
Lloyd George in addressing coalition
liberals yesterday. After expressing
fervent hope for cooperation be-
tween England and France, the
premier continued, apparently aliud-
ing to the possibility Of war with
Russia:
when the terrible question OF
peace or war has to be decided, our
first duty as a government is to the
people, who trust us not to commit
their treasure to any unjustifiable ad-
venture. Nothing but the most i'm
tional safety and national freedom
can justify war. Before this country
is committed to it, even in the most
limited form, we must be satisfied
these are in peril"

Marion, Aug. 13.-Replying in a
speech here today to charges that the
republican party is Cooking back

altho the future held promise Of new
achievements and progress, it would
not do for the nations to forget the
lessons of the past.

piled dvthat If, to remembef the teach

"happy to drink Of the past for my
inspiratation for the morrow"

before the Ohio Republican Editorial
Association, and in it he took occa-
sion to speak for a forest policy that
would insure an adequate domestic
supply Of print paper pulp and fill
other home demands. He also adyo-
Gated an editorial policy mot parti-
san but patriotic" and made plea
for honesty in all business relations.
II suppose some people will say
am looking backward, " said Senator
Harding, after declaring his faith in
the oldtime standards of patriotism
and morality. "But if we may look
backward to clear our Vision, we may
look forward more confidently.
Something has been said lately
about looking to the. sunrise of to-
morrow, not the sky line of the set
ting sun. Every hope in life is of to-
morrow, and we could not live yester-
day again if we would. In the horizon
of republicanism is no mirage to lure
the American caravan, but we mean
to go securely on over the proven
routes Of triumph"
