URGES BRITAIN
LONDON, June 8.—In a report onj
the sugar supply question in Great]
Britain, Professor George Marineauj
of the University of London urges the!
British government to learn from]
Germany and the United States, which
ho describes as the “two countries
which have handled the sugar ques
tion most successfully." Speaking of
Germany’s success with sugar in the
past decade, he says:
“There are several causes at the
bottom of this mystery—energy, abil-j
ity, efficiency, and, more than all,'
persistent research, which constituted
the first and best cause. But this!
was supplemented by a stimulus de
signed to induce capitalists to risk
their money in the beet root industry.
“It was Germany that hit upon the
right kind of stimulus. It was a
brilliant idea and carried out with
great judgment. The sugar duty was1
levied, not upon the sugar produced,
but the roots. This at once stimu
laleil tile winner in produce tile rich
est possible finality of root, and the
manufacturer to extract from the root
the largest possible quantity of sugar.
Great pains were taken to breed an
improved variety of sugar beet.
“This research still goes on in Ger
many, and its success has been as
tounding. At the beginning the sugar
beet contained less than 0 per cent
of sugar. In Germany the average
quantity of sugar actually extracted
has been brought lip to practically 18
per cent.
“That this wonderful result was
caused by the stimulus, plus, of
course, great efficiency, is proved by
the fact that poor France continued
getting a 6 per cent yield until it
adopted the German system, and even
then never succeeded in catching up
1 in the race. That is the worst of
being too late. In industry it is fatal.” i
In the United States, says Professor
Martineau, the industry lias been ro
carefully fostered that the production
has increased many-fold. “If Amer
ica had not created this great increase
in production,” he explains, “we
would at the present moment be suf
fering—and so would America—from
a real famine.
“In 1915 the consumption of sugar
in the United States amounted to the
large figure ,qf 4,250,000 tons, every
ounce of which, with the purely acci
dental exception of 23,000 tons, came
from her own states, territories and
protectorates. This striking tact is en
tirely the result of giving a prefer
ence. The United States, so far as
sugar is concerned, is now entirely j
independent of the outside world, aud;
is even able to spare us a million
tons whenever we are short of sup-!
plies.”

! TRENT HAS DEVELOPED
INTO MILITARY GAMP
HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN ARMY,
May 2. (by mail.)—Austrian prisoners
captured in the patrol raids along the
mountain front tell of the intense
activity which centers at Trent, the
railway center of concentration, where
all the Austrian men and supplies are
brought down for use in the Brenta
valley, Lagarina valley and all along
the mountain front.
The city itself, they say, is a huge
military camp which extends ten miles
southward to Calliano, and eastward
through the Sugana valley which is the
great artery leading to the Brenta val
ley and the plains of Italy. The rail
ways have been trebled, so that this
whole section is joined by a network
of railway sidings and connections.
The military administration is car
ried on chiefly at Trent, the head
quarters being in the Pretoria palace
near the famous old cathedral of
Trent, where the council of Trent was
held. Nearby is one of the main bar
racks located in one of the historic
monuments of the city. In the Piazza
Dante the bronze statue of Dante has
around its base a number of delapi
dated cannon which are claimed to be
trophies of war.
The city is practically evacuated of
its civilian population and given over
entirely to the military authorities as
the base for the military operations
on the mountain front.

AMSTERDAM. June 8.—During the
first tliree years of the war Dutch
charitable organizations have every
summer brought thousands of German :
children and given them a summer
vacation in Dutch homes, where they
could get better care and nourish
ment than at home. This year the so
ciety which has charge of the migra-j
tion announces that it will be impos
sible to get permits for any similar
trips, owing to Holland’s own food
shortage.
