grown in Germany that the nation has
been in a position to export rather
than import the product for 80 years.

during which more than 100000 tons
of beet sugar were exported An ex-
hibition, depicting the progress Of the
industry, was recently held in Magde-
burg. While sugar was one of the
best export articles before the war,
however, the exports have fallen off
considerably since that time.

 ATTACK ON ALLING
State Supreme Court Justice
 Declines to Comment
PROSECUTOR IS ACCUSED
New Haven Women File Protest, Claiming that States Attorney Has Been Seen to Enter Booze Selling Resorts,

Bridgeport. Sept. 2s LR-Publi- cation of so-called charges against States Attorney A. A. Alllng of New Haven county, preferred to judges of the superior court by the Public Welfare association of New Haven, and the notoriety their pub lication has caused Mir. filling, was regretted today by Chief Justice George w. Wheeler of the supreme 1 court.
 The chief justice was asked if he | had yet replied to the communica- i tion signed by a group of New Haven women and he said that he had, but that he could not give out for publication the reply and that if the officers of the Welfare Asso- ciation desired 10 give this out he saw no objection to such course.
 Regrets Publication
 Chief Justice Wheeler said that the publication of such charges at this particular time was unfor- tunate from a public point of view, since Mir. Alling will within a short time go from trial court work in New Haven to Litchfeld where he will represent the state In the Macr case. "A case of that chara cter.' the chief justice stated, ,"needs the service of a states attorney who 1! as capable and courageous as Mir filling and as devoted to the tria of the great criminal cases whicf arise in Ney Haven county as h' is."
 Will Give No Opinion
 "Tt would be as unfit for me t' express an opinion upon thes' charges as it would be in an! | case pending before me as judge, . Chief Justice Wheeler said. "Ii 5 neither case could assumption b. made of the truth of the charges . Similarly ought not the press t , make right assumption an $ neither in comment nor headline , assume the contrary. Especial ] should thls follow in the case Of : charge against a states attorney o the high professional standing an . long experience of Colonel filling.
 In due time, he stated, the judge l would undoubtedly have investigat
 ed the matter and given both tn women and MT. Alling, if necessar! an opportunity to be heard.
 Charges concerning the conduc of States Attorney filling accut :, him of "entering places where 1t public knowledge that liquor
 sold" The association making tf '. charges is composed entirely n women and its officers are: MT n Sarah Devlin, president; Mrs. Alic
 Colvin. vice-president; Gertrut u Sarles, treasurer and Miss Ande'
 son, treasurer. All are from Ne l, Haven.

 American Viewpoint
AMERICAN REPLY TO BE
 MADE THIS AFTERNOON
Today's Session of Debt Funders Is Short and Given Over To Hearing French Statement of Fiscal Con- ditlons and Insistence That Origin al Offer Is Absolutely Best That Can Be Presented To U. $.

Washington, Sept. 2S Rl-A new method of approach was laid out to- day at the third joint session of the Americana French debt missions which are trying to find a common ground for settlement of the French war debt.
 Defends Original Offer Joseph Caillaux, French finance minister. made new suggestions re- lating to the French capacity to pay and presented q defense of the prin- Ciples of his first offer which was unacceptable.
 This required "less than thirty minutes, and at a separate meeting of the American commissioners 1t was decided that Secretary Mellon should have a reply ready to be joint session at o'clock this after noon,
 Was Best Offer
 The statement by NJ. Caillaux was declared to have been a blunt rep resentation of the French fiscal posi- ton and to have elucidated the min isters declaration last night that his original proposal was considered by him and his colleagues to be the best they felt they should make.
 M. Caillaux. In the meantime, will meet with his associates to give fur ther study to calculations made by the French experts relative to the effect that suggestions made Friday by Mir. Mellon would have on the French position.
 No Statement Issued
 Both sides were reticent toda, and when NJ. Caillaux left the join meeting he said as a general repl, to innuirers that Mir. Mellon had re qucsted him to say nothing of dis cussion which went on in the morn
 ing session.
 Mir. Mellon said that he continued hopeful. He will meet again witt , his colleagues two hours before th
 scheduled joint session to go ove , with them the reply to the Frencl
 suggestions which were understoo'
 to represent, in a measure, an i'm
 provement over the original Frencl
 proposal. Notwithstanding the optimism c f Secretary Mellon, there was a dispo , sition in some American commlssio
 quarters to regard the latest Frenc proposal as substantially repetitio V of the first French offer. Anon these members little optimism va s reflected.

ing, which was one of several in
process of destruction, gave way a
few minutes after the workmen had
left for the day, most Of the ruins
falling into the street. The building
was reduced to huge pile of kind
ling, and volunteers and police
worked for half an hour before re-
covering the bodies of the boy and
girl. The other persons were then
rescued, and Mrs. Mary Giroino, 80,
was taken to hospital with internal
injuries. Her name was placed on
the danger list.
The families had moved out of
the two upper floors in preparation
for the razing of the structure, but
the market of William j., Ferguson
was still in operation on the ground
floor. 1t was thought that Mrs.
Giroino was passing the building
when it went down.
The cause of the collapse was I'M
determined early tonight. A new
community hospital was planned for
the site.
Ferguson and his 7O-year-old
mother were in the store with a Gus
toner, John Luongo, when the
building creaked and the walls
swayed. Ferguson seized his moth
er and got her into the street safe
ly, but Luongo was caught inside,
and was among those sent to the
hospital. Two volunteer rescuers
were slightly hurt when timber fell
on them. The rest of the injured
were children, most of whom were
found unconscious in the basement
into which they were hurled when
the floors gave way.
Police reserves were called out to
withstand the assaults of frantic
mothers and fathers, mostly of for
eign extraction. who tried to
scramble into the wreckage after
their children. Each time a body
was brought to waiting ambulance
the officers were forced to use main
strength to prevent the crowd from
overwhelming it. Police. four fire en-
CINE companies and several score
volunteers hacked through the %de-
bris for half an hour before the last
of the dead and injured were re-
moved.
Another mob of chattering parents
swarmed about the East Boston Re-
lief hospital, where the victims were
taken and where an extra force of
doctors and nurses, summoned on
an emergency call from the City
Hospital in the city proper, aided the
regular staff.

in the offing, and their mirth provok-
ing antics were well accepted by the
spectators.
One of the star acts of the per-
Torrance was that in which Peter
Taylor ruled with an iron hand what
is reputed to be the largest act Of
lions and Bengal tigers ever gotten
together. Many times while the ami
mails were being put through their
stunts it seemed that the trainer was
in imminent danger of his life but
he was always able to make his will
predominant in the end.
Sixteen Bengal tigers under the
tutelage of Robert Mcpherson was
another act which thrilled the spec
tators every moment. A group Of
Polar bears showed no little ability
under the direction of Clyde Beatty.
An act of trained seals also drew
considerable applause in their act,
especially when one Of them played
upon a xylophone.
The bareback riding artists showed
themselves expert in their branch CT
circus life, the Davenport troupe be-
ing particularly appreciated. The
work of the high school horses and
the trained ponies was also well done
and roundly applauded. Elephants
and many of them were put through
their stunts by their trainers and
theygave an interesting exhibition.
One Of the most enjoyable mo-
ments of the whole circus was
reached when there were some 20
, aerial artists in the air at one time,
dressed in gay colors and flying
through the air with the utmost
temerity. The trapeze work of the
Ward kimbal troupe showed skill
and daring and was much appreci-
ated
The side show contained an inter-
esting assembly Of nature freaks and
strange people and it's cleanliness
and instruction was highly compli-
mented by those who attended, An.
other special attraction was the
Wild West show which followed the
big show.
From here the circus goes to Lew
lston; the next day it will be IN
Portland and on Saturday in Lowell.
