END OF OIL
 MAY PUT END
 TO ALL WARS

VIENNA, Sept. 16.-Worry about another World War will be over within three or four generations Exhaustion of the worlds oil sup ply will see to that, thinks General Edmund Allexin of the Austrian general staff.
 He quotes experts estimates that 100000 soldiers in future war would need about 300,000 tons of iron and steel, about 100000 tons of coal, and 100000 tons of oil. But he thinks that motorization of armies would boost those figures considerably
 The worlds yearly production of minerals he puts at two billion tons. The most important is oil, of which he says America produces 80 per cent, and which may be nearly ex- hausted in about 50 to 70 years.
 Colonel Allexin minimizes the im- portance of efforts to produce sym thetic oil or gasoline because of the expense and the necessity of having great plants, vulnerable in war time.

Horoscope "The stars incline
 but do not compel"

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1897
 Adverse aspects appear to dom mate today, according to astrology. Until after sunset the stars are read as unfriendly
 Women may find this an unusu- ally difficult sway under which to accomplish anything outside the home. In business, men win out wherever there. is competition for substantial salaries. <
 Love rnayl fly out the window today in homes where economic problems prove unusually pressing as they will through the autumn, if the stars are rightly read.
 Although decrease in the number of divorces has been prophesied for the next year many suits will be filed this autumn and domestic scandals may multiply. Those who buy and sell should be fairly fortunate under this rule of the stars which encourage pur- chase of staple goods. Those who deal in luxuries may find trade dull.
 In the evening of this day there is sign of promise for organizing and preparing for the pushing of nationwide plans. The aspects may be interpreted as including military as well as labor groups,
 The planetary government seems to incline toward action. Instead 'of councils and conferences there may be sudden outbreaks of vio- lence in many places on the globe including the United States. Strangers today should be accept ed warily. Many secret plots now may be spreading and many exten- sive intrigues may be progressing. The stars seem to stimulate clever and perilous schemes subversive and threatening.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of happiness and pleasure. Subjects of this sign of Virgo usually are lucky in spec ulation.
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly fond of display. Sub- jects of this sign like color and many have artistic talents.
 John Hodgdon, Jr., geologist, was born on this day 1898 Others who have celebrated it as birthday in clude Robert w. Vonnoh, painter, 1858; William E. Griffis, educator and author, 1843.

Sugared Politics
CNew York World-Telegram)

MT. Roosevelt is practical politician And it is a fortunate thing for the country that he is But one characteristic which sets him apart from other politicians and endears him to many people the candor he frequently shows in handling practical pol- tical matters
 The President did not like the sugar bill which Congress passed Another politician the same hot spot probably would have signed the bill and said nothing, or if he had said anything would merely have remarked it was probably as good measure as could be obtained under the circumstances.
 But MT. Roosevelt issued public statement in which he put in writing the terms of bald political deal which he had exacted the price of his signature
 T am approving the bill" he said, with what amounts to a gentemen's agreement that the unholy alliance between the cane and beet growers the hand and the seaboard refining monopoly on the other, has been terminated by the growers.
 That means that hereafter the refinersf lobby should expect help from the domestic growers. That is at least definite step in the right direction
 It will be interesting to see whether, when 1940 rolls around and the quotas in the new sugar law expire, MT. Roosevelt can enforce that "gentlemens agreement breaking up the unholy alliance between the farmers lobby and the refners lobby. The meas which these two Hobbies forced through Congress the President says, discrminates against Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands by denying them the right to expand their refining industries per petuates the seaboard refners monopoly and thereby exacts millions of dollars from Americas household budgets
 The best economics for the country as a whole, we believe would be to have neither tariffs quotas Regions capable of growing at the least cost would capture the sugar markets and refineries that more efficient and advantageously located would ture the markets for the refined product. But what is economic is not always polite Our domestic grow and refners have votes in Congress, and the grow and refiners of Cuba, Puerto Rico Hawaii and the Virgin Islands have none And no government run by politics has found a way of dealing out tariffs and quotas to crowd without cutting in other crowds on the game.
 Sugar legislation written only by the farmers lobby would be- from consumers standpoint only hal4 as bad as the measure just enacted. But des- pe the bold candor with which he handles the mat ter we doubt whether MT. Roosevelt ever make any tariff -quota-subsidy measure less than all bad
