The Investigations In progress before Justice Benedict, Magistrate McAdoo and elsewhere, show conclusively that it Is the large producers and holders of sugar, wheat and flour who are responsible for the advance of prices. The retailers who happen to have stock said in my previous article, "What we are seeking to avoid is (1) a duplication of orders of the various inspection departments, and (2) the vnnec-essary expense of surplus city and State departments." Mr.

Ashfleld, In man who did it has been located in Berlin. That man "is wanted" at or near Scotland Yard. Will they get him? General Bernhardie's book, "Germany and the Next War," Is destined to be regarded as the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" of what will very likely be known as the Greatest War. With Socialists, who do not believe in war, fighting on all sides, we see that Socialism, like religion, Is something which is not so deeply imbedded in the human mind as the law of self-preservation.

Then, he was the central figure of a brilliant coup d'etat. Now he can be located at or somewhere near the circumference. Then he appeared to bo one of the political successes of the commander-in-chief. Now he may be said to have evacuated every fortress, all of which is, perhaps, less his fault than his misfortune. However, the main point Is that, as an "incident," he has failed.

It never rains but It pours. After Hinman, Sulzer. Otherwise stated, after Hyperion, satyr. Newspaper accounts do not confine themselves to the statement that Sulzer visited Sagamore. They assert that the Colonel was flabbergasted by the champion of the "peepul." And, even if that be false, It should be true.

For there ought to bo some limits to the shocks the Colonel can sustain. By the duly attested order of a high court, William Sulzer was removed from the office of Governor. He was declared guilty of having committed perjury, of having stood between the officers of the State and the truth, and of practicing fraud and deceit. It was found that he took advantage of the occasion of his nomination to collect and receive and to convert to his own use large sums of money for the purpose of enriching himself. This Is the man who assured the Colonel of his ability to carry the primaries of the Progressives.

As he retains his political rights, he is at liberty to make the attempt, even the Colonel himself being in no position to say him nay. Moreover, Mr. Roosevelt has with some emphasis, if not do the work Just aa well, but what de youths' two-piece mixture sack partment will do the work better and suits. A few odd coats, vests their old goods up to the advanced prices and charge it to their good luck. But the Inquiries also show that the wholesale advances are due to abnormally large exports of grain and sugar.

In spite of the disorganized condition of ocean commerce, the countries at war have been buying very largely here and getting their supplies out of the country. So far has this trade gone that predictions of flour at $10 a barrel and sugar at $15 a hundred pounds were made at the McAdoo Inquiry yesterday. The obvious result of this Is a demand for an embargo on the export of food from this country. George W. Perkins, chairman of the Mayor's Relief Committee, said that If the war should continue long, the people would "eventually be forced to ask Congress to put an embargo on food stuffs." Mr.

Perkins Is a business man and not an alarmist He naturally would sympa It cost double the amount. Tremendously strong fortifications guard both ends of this waterway, In which there is plenty of room, and from one end of which the Baltic Is subject to control. The German battleships in the canal are absolutely safe. They can move with freedom because It has many passages of double width, and four turning basins. They can be "bottled up" only by a fleet twice the size or strength of the one Imprisoned.

As there Is but one outlet at Santiago, this country's battleships were not In two divisions. The British have no reason to complain, but prevailing conditions must be galling to their adversaries. The German naval budget has been Increasing for a long time, this year's estimates being about $120,000,000. And, what is there to show for these expenditures? Not much more than tho return would be if there were no dreadnoughts on the registry. So, the an nian atrocities with tho grain of salt furnished by the day's news as the Zeppelins, from their aerial ambush more economically.

Mr. Ashfleld has failed to show that either the Department of Health or the Bureau of Buildings would do the work better and more economically. The assertion that the Building Department could inspect tenement houses with a comparatively smaller Increase In cost Is absolutely false. There are In the Borough of Brooklyn 46,336 tenements. To inspect these buildings now forty Inspectors are needed besides a large staff of clerks and officials to take care of the violations when they are once filed.

Should the Building Department take over this work it would necessarily mean a tremendous Increase in the cost of over Antwerp, drop bombs on the nurses who are caring for Germany's wounded soldiers. As Professor Ost wald predicted: "It is enousrh to make and trousers are going for a trifle. We might call in a trade "Scavenger" and close out the remnants of various discarded stocks preparatory to inventory, but prefer to give our consumers the benefit. Besides, it is fun to watch people chuckle over bargains. For instance, yesterday the last of the following were in full flight: any man clutch at his head." Twenty-eight thousand men are out of work In this city and the labor thize with efforts to build up business unions are criticising Controller Pren- WHICH CAPITAL FIRST Russia Is furnishing one of the surprises of the war.

From Berlin come no denials that nearly the whole of East Prussia is iu the hands of the enemy.

The surprise furnished is not that the advance has been successful, and not with those to curtail It. But operation. And as I have said before, the expense would not be removed but would be merely shifted from one department to another.

In this connec dergast because the city does not meet swer to the question asked by the correspondent is that the British are getting at sea something for their money, which is not true of Germany. tion it is also interesting to note that the superintendent of buildings of the uorougn or Brooklyn has recently asked for an increased appropriation to provide for more Inspectors. If the citizens who appeared before the Commissioner of Weights and Measures asked him officially to recommend an embargo at once. An embargo is an extreme measure, but It would be justifiable enough as a matter of national preservation. Mr.

Perkins' warning to exporters that it would come If their export trade sent up prices unduly here should be heeded. England has been able to check the but that in so short to time the legions liuiitiing Department in Brooklyn has not now enough Inspectors to do its solemnity, asserted his intention of of the Czar should gather such work, how could it take over a work of a department which has charge of 50 per cent, of the buildings in this No contradictions come from the fighting for the ticket, no matter by whom headed. There is, therefore, something of a spectacle In prospect. It Is well known German capital. There it is admitted borough? There is also another good reason that retreat was compelled and that for not combining the Tenement House Department with the Bureau of that fraud Is an abomination in there is hope rather than belief that rise of prices which began there with the declaration of wnr, although far the Invaders can be checked.

Send up your city bpdget, push up rents, make it hard for the little storekeepers to make both ends meot, and then urge the city to flood the streets with push-carts to send all the storekeepers Into bankruptcy. This Is the very system now being urged with the plausibility of flowing vocabularies. Quletlsts writing to our newspapers quote General Grant's "Let us have peace," significantly paraphrasing the "us." U. S. Grant also said something about fighting it out on a certain line if it took all summer.

Tho enrolled Democratic voters of this State, if they do not care to support Governor Glynn for re-election, If they desire to refuse approval to the present State administration, will have an alternative when they go Into the official primaries. The so-called Hon-nessy slate is complete. It Is before the voters for consideration.

Hennessy for Governor, Franklin D. Roosevelt of Dutchess for United States Senator, and Samuel Seahury for the Court of Appeals, are names that nobody can misunderstand. Each stands for revolt against what Is In behalf of what might be. And there are glimmerings of success In revolt to be noted In each man's career.

His proposals then would have some weight; as It Is they are mere assertions, and in no way convincing. On the fact of it. It is obvious that if the Department of Health and the Bureau of Buildings arc to take over the work now done by the Tenement House Department their force will have to be nearly doubled.
