NEW YORK, May THE
nations railroads have already
advanced a great step in their
national program to get back
on their feet, according to E. i.
Loomis, president of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad. They have:
Cut their cost of operation a
billion dollars a year, two
thirds of which came from in
creased efficiency and economy
of operation.
Moved great traffic in 1922
with only 1,645,00 employees, as
against 100000 in 1920.
Kept wages well above the
cost of living.
Cut the country's freight bill
half billion dollars.
"No other basic industry can
show a more creditable progress
during the last three years, !"
Loomis declared, despite the
fact that the railroads we're
denied any share of the high
commodity values of the war

English Crocers Say Demand
For Sweets Accompanies
Dearth of Liquor.

LONDON, April 14.-Prohibition

Gently at the grocery stores she

The grocer was merely quoting
the words of the sugar brokers of
Mark Lane. They are charging a
dollar and a half more a hundred
weight and give as q reason that
prohibition in America has so in
creased the American demand for
sugar that the supply is far less
than the demand, and so up goes
the price.
A year ago, the sugar brokers
assert, the consumption of sugar in
America was e1ghty-seVen pounds
per head of the population, whereas
now it is 103 pounds and likely to
increase week by week. Indubita-
bly, the experts say that teetotal-
ism creates a craving for candy.
In Scotland, in the dry" districts,
the sale of candy is thrice that Of
the wet" districts.
The price of sugar Is likely to In
crease still more, for reports from
the sugar beet growing districts Of
France and Germany show that the
crops this year, owing to the
weather. will be a third less than in

Al THOUSE GIVES
LAST CONCERT
At NATIONAL
Metropolitan Opera Singer
PIeases Big Audience by Rare
Voice in Fine Selections.

The final concert of T. Arthur
Smiths ten-star course attracted
large and demonstrative audience
yesterday Afternoon at the National
Theater.
The soIoist chosen to bring to a
close the interesting and highly sue
cessful concert series was Paul Alt
house, leading tenor OF the Metro
poIitan Opera Company.
Mr.. Althouse possesses one OF
those rare voices that grows more
mellow and golden with each APP
pearance of the artist on the con-
cert stage. Although hampered by
an annoying hoarseness, he was
able to demonstrate anew his fault
less technique, absolute enunciation
and commanding personality.
Much of the credit for the success
attending the artists efforts is due
to Rudolph Gruen, the pianist-ac-
companist. Throughout the lengthy
program Mr.. Gruen eschewed notes.
His accompaniments were sympa-
thetic and technically correct.
Mr.. Gruen is a composer as well
as an excellent pianist. His "Phan-
tom Ships" sung by Mr.. Althouse,
handled by the writer and effective
ly done by the singer. Mr.. Gruen
played three piano selections-"G
Minor Ballade," by Chopin; "Etude.
Opus 80, No. IL" (MacdowelD, and
Sixth Rhapsodie" Uiszt)
The program chosen by Mr.. Att
house was an interesting study Of
modern French and English songs,
with an Italian opera aria, 20,

By DAVID Nj. CHURCH,
international News Service.

LONDON, April 14.-Europe faces
years of guerilla warfare.
This unhappy prediction is made
by many close students OF the Eu-
Iropean situation who see no hopes
of complete peace for years to
come. Some even less optimistic
predict that, within a generation
Europe will see another first class
grade-A, full-bloom war.
Whether or not another big war
comes to Europe, it seems almost a
certainty that guerilla warfare
will go on for years. The Franco
German border probably will be the
center of such hostilities. AS long
as the French stay in the Ruhr-
and present signs point to a lengthy
stay-there will be isolated attacks
upon the French by German in
dividuals or bands Of REGULARS.
Many observers believe that ma
tionalistic Germans will form bands
of irregulars who will constantly
menace the French. and that no
matter what the British government
DEGREES, there will be constant
clashes which will be bloody and
disturbing to whatever forces are
at work for permanent peace.
Even if the French retire it Is
doubtful whether the spirit OF
animosity which has been aroused
along the border lines can be re-
pressed sufficiently to restrain
overt acts on the part of deeply
hating individuals.
| The Polish frontiers present another
trouble zone. The Russo-Polish Dor
NAV burst into flames at any mo
ment, though both sides profess ;
desire for peace. Again, in anotheI
| quarter. the Lithuanians and Poles
have failed to reach any agreemen
and restless spirits on both side
seem inclined at times to take mat
tiers into their own hands.
In the Ukraine region there i
still a mo mans land" which Il
a bone of contention. Galicia ha
it's own unsettled problems and her
again is another smoldering vol
Icano.
The Banlkans have long beel
known as the cockpit of Europe.
The great war apparently did it'll
to cure the Balkans or to curb thei
spirits. Hardly q day passes bu
what reports of clashes betWeel
soldiers and irregulars come t
hand.
Russia has not been entirely paci
fled. There are revolutionary spirit
in Russia who would upset the eX
listing government. Frequent re
ports of temporary and unorgar
lied fighting come trickling out o
Russia.
The Near East. both European
and Asiatic, is still in a state O
flux. None can say that perma
nent peace has been restored Will
revolutionaries, counter revolution
, aries. military dictators and rovaI
lists are seeking to achieve thei
, own purposes.

other rosy dream of the fair
Peggy Hopkins Joyce had a
rude awakening today.
The chain of theaters to
reach from coast to coast which
Peggy was to finance and
Oliver Morosco to build seems
destined to remain q mere
chimera. Peggy has sued
Morosco for $4,000 due on a

SOLD TRACT FOR 500

Oguhquit Beach, in the town of

Maine shore as summer resort
became marked, has returned great

sold to cottages much of the prop

itself to persons who would close
it to the public, and permanent and
