Over one-third of our sugar is used by tire candy, sweet drinks and other manufacturers of non-essentials.

Inside Information Reveals Central Power Has 18,000 Guns and Huge Iot of Ammunition. Infantry Six Miles Behind and Continuing Virtually Without Resistance From Russians. SiJAG IS STRUCK liJ DlSARIVlimO GERMANY BY CYRIL. BROWN. (Copyright or the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement. BERLIN, via Copenhagen, May 8. (Special cable.) Germany's disarm ament continues to be a grave prob lem. The military terms of the peace treaty have not been lived up to in letter or spirit. Many articles of the military clauses have been violated tthcr by exceeding the time limits or the quantitative specifications. Nevertheless, the progress of the work and the general disarmament situation must be regarded as satis factory In view of the titanic magni tude of the task and the infinite dif "ficulties and troubles arising. The control commission has a superman's job on its hands. Enforcing the dis armament of Germany is almost as tough a probm as enforcing prohibi tion in America. The most important phase of the problem concerns the artillery. Once stripped of artillery and munitions, Germany will cease to be a serious menace. All the rest does not matter much. The Germans have officially reported the existence of 12,000 field guns. 2500 heavy guns, 217 anti-air-craft guns, 3S5S mine throwers and 15,500,000 rounds of artillery ammu nition. Small odd lots of guns con tinue to turn up almost daily in dif ferent parts of Germany. The control commission, however, knows of the existence of virtually all the German artillery material.. i The correspondent's inside information- is that 1S.OO0 guns is approx imately the correct figure covering artillery of all kinds and calibers, whereas the treaty allows Germany only -S8 guns in addition to the nor mal armament of fortified works on Germany's eastern-southern frontiers. War Jonk in Dispute. rians for destroying or rendering useless nearly IS, 000 gunsVave struck three snags. First, on the sheer phys ical limitations. There arc not enough available oxyhydrogen torches, which are absolutely essential in rendering guns useless, to make a quick, clean sweep of Germany's illicit artillery possible. Artillery disarmament must continue a tedious time-consuming process. Second, disarmament is delayed by the controversy between the allies and Germans over the property rights to the destroyed or scrapped cannons and war material generally. The raw material - vaVue of the scrapped war junk will run into billions of marks. The French in particular are insist ing that the guns and war material, after being destroyed or rendered use less, belong to the allies. The Ger mans just as strongly are maintain ing that all this valuable junk be longs to Germany, arguing the excess of guns and war material must be surrendered merely for the purpose of being destroyed or rendered useless. Uisarmament will not proceed smooth ly until this ownership controversy is settled. This matter is peculiarly riT-li-cate and troublesome because Ger many's contention is not without merit. IMcked Gons Are 'Wanted. The third "snag to disarmament, is that German military authorities are making a barefaced and desperate attempt to save the flower tf the artillery park, about 3S00 picked guns of small and large caliber, by trying to ring them in as armament for tresses on the eastern and southern frontiers which Germany is per mitted to keep 'Under the peace treaty. The German military men are trying to put one over on the allies on a technicality by giving an elastic in terpretation to article 167. The Ger man military contention, a beautiful and clever piece of sophistry, is that fortresses nowadays are not rlefended solely by guns mounted in the forts, but that large numbers of batteries planted in a wide girdle zone around fortresses form part of the tifual armament. Accordingly, SSOO-odd guns, including many of the heaviest caliber, are about right for the arma ment t fortresses which Germany is permitted to retain. . If the. allies were to let the Ger mans get away with this technicality argument it would mean that Ger many would keep enough modern ar tillery for 40 divisions, with about 4,000.000 rounds of ammunnition, not specifically provided by the treaty and patently a violation of the treaty spirit- POWER MONOPOLY DENIED California-Oregon Company De- Teloping Plant of Competing Co. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 8. (Special.) One hundred men in the employ of the California-Oregon Pow er company are constructing an addi tional plant on the Keno power site near here. The Iveno company was tecently sold by Kerns Bros., its founders, to W. . Parker, who, it is generally believed, has leased or sold the system to the California-Oregon 1'ower company, giving tlicni a mo nopoly In the local field. Despite the collaborating construc tion work, George J. "Walton, loca. California-Oregon company manager. denies the merger, and asserts that his company is developing the Keno property in order that the competing concern will be in a position to sup ply power to the California-Oregon company in case of interrupted trans mission. Business With Germany Fallen Off and New Field I ftouglit as ' Soon as Allies Consent. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by ArraQScmut) PARIS. May 8. (Special Cable.) "The Scandinavian countries await only a lead from the allies to start business on a big scale with Soviet Russia." So said Ira Nelson Morris. United States minister at Stockholm, today. Mr. Morris, who has Just arrived in Paris, added: "It is a matter of common knowl edge that Swedish manufacturers are building locomotives for Russia and that these engines will be delivered as soon as the resumption . of trade intercourse is sanctioned by the en tente powers. While the Swedish government still forbids shipmentsvdi rectly consigned to Russia, there is no doubt that considerable quantities of merchandise, ultimately destined for Moscow, are passing across the Baltic to Esthonia, which is at peace with the Soviets." Minister Morris said he acould not define exactly what Sweden's atti tude toward trade with Russia' will be if the United States should au thorize American concerns to enter Russian markets regardless of the European powers views. "For obvious reasons," he re marked, "Swedish commerce with Germany has fallen off to such an extent that there is a strong desire to see Sweden's surplus manufactured produc'ts go to the Soviets, which are able and willing to pay In gold or platinum. To the best of my belief the Moscow government has between three and six hundred million rubles gold." A ru-ble is worth 50 cents normally.)

PROFITEERING IS CHARGED (Continued From First Page.) per, republican, Kansas, in response to one of inquiry from the senator. Mr. Hoover said the government was pri marily responsible lor the present sit uation through the failure to pur chase the Cuban crop. "The present sugar position is due simply to bad business administra tion," said Mr. Hoover. "Last Septem ber the administration could have bought the Cuban sugar crop at 6 cents a pound for raw sugar. This would have given l-cent sugar to our consumers. As the result of fail ure to act .... we are subject to unparalleled speculation and prof iteering. The increase iii.piiie is im posing an additional tax on our peo ple of about $50 per family per an il um. "The profiteering is international, .... This situation cannot be rem edied by the attorney-general's con ception that forces of this character can be handled by putting a few peo ple in jail. Something cuuld be dune WARSAW, May 8. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Today's Warsaw news papers print the Moscow wireless dis patch sent out Friday afternoon say- ng the Poles have entered Kiev. No announcement to this effect, however. nas been made in official quarters here. The latest communique states that Vasilkov, 30 miles south of Kiev, nas oeen captured. The statement adds that the bol sheviki are retreating on various parts of the front. Polish army headquarters received word today that Polish cavalry reached Kiev this morning. The in fantry then was less than six miles from Kiev, with the advance contin uing virtually without resistance by me DoisneviKi. Reports that Kiev had fallen were current in Warsaw Monday of this week, but subsequent developments showed those reports to have been erroneous. Kiev, a. city of 250,000 before the war, is the capital of the Ukraine. The town has changed hands several times during the fighting between contending groups in the Ukrainian territory and the conflict between the Xienikine forces and the bolsheviki. W. R.

GAINS APPETITE AND GOOD COLOR Many people who are in a chronic condition of ill health really need nothing more than a tonic. when the blood is at fault there are fre quently produced a lot of alarming symptoms which disappear when the blood is again built up. People who almost constantly com plain of headaches, weakness, lack of color, dizzy spells, sleeplessness, heart palpitation and indigestion, will read with interest the experience of Mr. William H, Cowan of No. 3791 Thirty second street, San Diego, Cal. He ays: "I suffered Intense stomach pains after eating. The pains became so severe at times that I had to put hot applications across my stomach. I trembled greatly and suffered from palpitation of the heart and, a dull aching pain across my back. I had a ravenous appetite most of the time, but the food caused distress and did not give me any nourishment. I also suffered from sick headaches. "A newspaper announcement influ enced me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial and there was a marked improvement after taking the first box. As I continued taking the pills the pains, which had invariably fol lowed a meal, disappeared and I can eat heartily now without distress. The pain across my back is also gone and my color is better. I no longer tremble and my heacJs normal again. I can certainly say a good word for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
