European War Puts Great-snIUMih"urt.eJJMS:
Beet Sugar Teritory Out
of Available Area.
A ashington D. C April 7. The ef-f"-t
of the present war In Europe on
il geography of the world's sugar
p oduction Is strikingly shown ln4 a
statement just foaaed by the National
Teosraphie society. This statement Is
" follows:
Fift -three out of every 1M pounds
0 up'ar produced in the world Is
f.rf ii in the countries now at war and
I'c- colonies The total production
the world is estimated at approxl-
n .t. It. 18oa00e ions. This production
- made up of cane sugar and beet sh-
r the total Tield of cane sugar hav-
igr been 9.545.0S0 tons and of beet
near. S 438.040 tons in 1913. ''
One of the peculiar facts connected
v. itb the sugar map of the world is that
-n hile Kurope produces more than 93
out of every 100 pounds of beet suf-ar
-'iown it yields only one pound of ev-
i S00 of cane sugar. . Of Europe's to-
1 .i production of beet sutjar. amount-
Ine to T.80S.000 tons. 6S.8M tons grew
n belligerent territory in 113. Nearly
all of this product is now entirely iso-
lated from the outside world being
ptoti n niamlv in Germany. Austria-llunear-.
and Russia. What this means
i the world is revealed by the fact
1hit more than two-thirds of the
tt orld s sugar Is not consumed in the
country of its origin this condition
arising from the fact that the great
sugar-using nations are principally
outride of the belts of sugar produc-
tion Will Affect TJ. S. Acutely.
"Tn scarcity of sugar growing out
r the war will affect the United States
i ore seriously than any other country
for the reason that American people
are per capita the heaviest users of
.mrar in the world. With one-sixteenth
of the world's population the United"!
states consumes more man one-xiira
of its sugar. How rapidly this country
is becoming a nation of sugar-eaters is
i e ealed by a reference to the tables of
ugar consumption of the past half
century Fifty years ago the people
of the United States ate 18 pounds f
suprar per capita. Five years later in
3 870. they were using 33 pounds per
Twent-fie years ago it had risen to
SI pounds. In 1SO0. it had climbed still
higher to 59 pounds. By 110 the mer-
cury in the sugar consumption ther-
mometer reached 80 Today the per
capita consumption is upwards of 8
pounds.
licet Sugar Heaviest Loser.
"It appears that the cane sugar in-
dustry will suffer very little in the
matter of the total crop yield as a re-
sult of the war. On the other hand the
beet sugar business will suffer very
heavily. The present Russian crop has
been almost entirely tied up by ina-
bility to get exports out of the coun-
try while next year's crop is threat-
ened with a shortage resulting from
the destruction of the industry in Po-
land where so much of Russia's sugar
is produced.
The reports from France indicate
that the rich sugar beet lands of Use
northern section were harvested last
season under the direction of the Ger-
mans and that most of the sugar fac-
tories in this territory haTe been dis-
mantled to secure their copper for the
manufacture of war munitions.
"Information from Germany indicates
that the empire will plant only three-
fourths of its normal area in sugar
beets this year. This would result in
cutting down Germany's sugar yield
by more than 650000 tons."
iKSBiTTIU THE MOUNTAINS
BothEussians and Austrians
Concentrate Forces in
Carpathians.
London Ens April 7. Russians are
bringing up heavy reinforcements to
push their attack in the Carpathian
mountains the success of which is
expected only through weight of num-
bers. On the other hand' the Austrian
and German commanders also are
making strenuous efforts to strength-
en their forces.
Petrograd reports that the section
near the Ussok pass where Vienna ad-
mits retirements J tends to a dis-
tance of 15 miles. To offset this Vienna
claims a counter offensive movement
near Lupkow- pass where the Aus-
trians report the taking of several
Russian positions with the capture of
7000 prisoners.
A conservative interpretation of
both the Russian and the Austrian re-
ports leads to the belief that the i.us-
sian offensive at Lupkow has been
checked while they have forced their
way through the Rostok pass captur-
ing two villages on .the southern side
of the range.
Kreneh Contiune the Offensive.
In the western arena of the war the
French continue their offensive move-
ment between the Meu&e and the Lor-
raine frontier. Their reported gains
iu the Ailly forest Indicate the pos-
sibility of a new danger for the Ger-
mans holding St. Mihlel while the ad-
vance to the east; of Verdun is re
garded in London as threatening St.
Mihiel from the north. Berlin reports
heaty fighting in this region without
results for the French.
Gerniann Cro Yxer; Dislodged.
The French war office at Paris this
afternoon gave out a report on the
pi ogress of hostilities which says:
A German detachment with three
machine guns succeeded Tuesday in
crossing to the left bank of the Yser
south of Drei Grachtenl It was at-
tacked and dislodged by Belgian
forces.
"An attack made by us in the vicin-
itv of Etain rendered us masters of
hills No 219 and I'o. ZZ1. in addition
to the Haut Bo is and the Hopital
farms."

The German general headquarters at

ment regarding military operations
