New York, Jan. 17th.-All large sugar
r%efners in tie East have now dropped
prices TO the basis established some time
ago by the Federal Refining Coy, name
iy 7.75c a pound for fine ~granulated,
which means 1876 per cent within seven
days. This is the lowest level since
the obnolmal rise was started in the
latter part of 1919 and is considerably
below the war tine fixed rate. Private
advices from Cuba tell of stocks of old
crop avs on hand much larger than
figures generally published and of new
crop estimated as high as 10, $50, 900
pounds. Grinding, which started late,
is we'll under way. Much of the sugar
imported in the United States recently is
from Java and Peru, where large stocks
accumulate during 1.-THE world war.
With the new Cuban and Porto Rlcan
crops coming on, pressure to sell in Cuba
is becoming noticeable and lower prices
both of raw and aefined sugar are anti
cipated. Futures are selling lower.
Washington, Jan. 17th.-Congress vOt-

Deputy Mayor of, Cork, relative to the
request to remove martial law, Major
General Sir Edward Strickland, the
British Commander in Munster, says the
present state of affairs in Cork cannot be
allowed to continue and that he will be

may seem necessary. to make the lives of

New York Jan. 18th-Reports from
London to the effect that the Council of
Imperial defence views with disfavour
a continuation of the big ship" policy
have aroused considerable attention in
the press of the United States. The
New York Times attributes the change
in the British attitude to consideration
of the expense involved. The Evening
Sun recalls the fact that it was a splen-
did vessel, such as the Queen Elizabeth,
the Malay and the Barham that decided
the mastery of the seas and forced the
German fleet to take cover and kept
open the channels of world commerce.
1t adds, If Great Britain diseards the
big ship" policy, it will be despite, not
because of the experience of the war"
A more reasonable explanation of her
attitude, the Sun continues, is found in
the enormous cost of the modern super
dreadnoughts. British finances are just
beginning to recover from the effects Of
the war. Taxes are high, the pound
sterling is depressed. The nation faces
an enormous debt. The prospects of
laying out nine million pounds for each
new capital ship, is staggering to say
the least. But though the British
treasury just at present may be short,
British insight into naval matters re-
mains clear, and it may be taken for
granted that the hesitancy to construct
new capital ships will last not longer
than the shortage in the royal treasury

who laughted at the idea. After the

She tucked the note into the handbag
with the $3.50 and laid the bag under
her pillow so that a corner showed.
After that she waited nervously, and
finally fell asleep.
Some time later, probably two or three
hours, she was awakened by the sound

When a woman finds a burglar In
her room she may be counted on to do
one of two things-scream at the top
of her voice, or bury her head in the
pillow. Sometimes she does both.
Mrs. Juliana Bugbee, an attractive
blond young Southern woman, who
recently moved from Greenwich VIII
lage to II East Fifty-ninth street, did
neither Of these things when her bed
room was invaded the night before
last by a burglar. She had q note
ready for him and the note was tucked
inside a handbag, which showed be-
meath her pillow, and she closed her
eyes very tight and let him slip the
handbag from its hiding place and
escape with it through an airshaft.
The burglar must be mystifled about
the note and the contents Of the bag.
Mrs. Bugbee thinks he probably Is dis
appointed, but she gave him all she
could spare conveniently.

WEDGED IN AN ODD TRAP

Max Rochester, who is Is now, prob
ably will be telling when he Is 80 the
story Of how his head, jammed in the
piling on the beach off Ocean Park
way, Brooklyn, was chopped out with
an axe. IT took a good deal more than
an hour to get Max free, and he will
not forget TO include among the de-
tails of the yarn how the tide was

men were working over him, and how
have been submerged.
Max whose father is tailor at 219
Hughes street. Brooklyn, went swim
ming yesterday afternoon with some
other boys off the foot of Ocean Park
way. Between swims the boys clam
bered up on some big rocks which a
line of piles separates from the sea
wall. Max was poking about among
the rocks, looking Gown into the water.
Leaning over, he stuck his head be-
tween two Of the piles, and moment
later the vther boys heard him call
out:
Gee. fellers I can't get my head out"
His companions got Max by the legs
and yanked and pulled, all to no use.
The more they tugged the tighter the
boys head was wedged in the piling.
Their shouts soon drew a crowd
Thousands of bathers were strung along
the beach hundred automobiles were
standing along the concourse at the foot
of the parkway where the boys went in.
Patrolmen Francis Lombardo and
Ludwig Frank were attracted by the ex-
citement and went out to the rocks
They could make no more progress than
the boys had done. Frank held the
boys body out at length, while Lom-
bardo aneared axle grease. supplied by
the automobile owners, over the piling.
Max's head couldn't be budged.
Then Lombardo got an axe. He had
to work very carefully, chopping down
toward the boys head. but stopping his
stroke before 1t was finished. He pulled
off the chips as he cut them.
Meanwhile somebody had sent in a call
to Engine 244, and after Frank and
Lombardo had worked In vain Tor half
an hour tho firemen arrived. 1t took
another half hour of work by the po-
licemen ana the fremen before Max's
head could be freed. Reserves from the
Coney Island station had difficulty in
keeping back the big crowd that had
gathered.
DR.. Horn of the Coney Island Hos
pital examined Max and found that ex-
ctpt for few superficial abrasions hs
wss unharmed.

France In New Protest
to Germany on Silesia

RERLIN, July 16. - Charles
Laurent, the French Ambas-
sador to Germany, made repre-
sentations to-day to DR.. Fried
rich Rosen, the German Foreign
Minister, concerning the situa-
tion in Upper Silesia. Reports
from Gen. Lerond, head of the
Interallied Commission, and COM
munications from the Polish Gov
ernment, the Ambassador de-
clared, left no doubt that the
situation in Upper Silesia was
becoming more serious owing to
the non-delivery of arms and
the presence of German bands in
