BLAME CONSUMER

FOR RAPID BOOST III PRICE OF SUGAR Grocers Cite Family Speculation, Housewives Flooding Them With Orders and Exceeding Supply on Hand. Family speculation Is as much the cause of the Increase of $2.50 a nunflred on sugar In the last week as the war, according to a prominent grocer who Bays the consumer himself la as much to blame as any one for the high prices In commodities. Everything but local vegetables and fruits continues in the aeroplane tactics of the first of the week. This Is nartlv 1n tn th fact that SUgar Is

uwnrt in mnV1nr sn manV things. Im

ported stuffs in spite of the full ware houses and the fact that Importers bought before war affected the prices on the other side, will continue to rise as long as the people consume and pay the price. Consumer Speculates. With high prices contemplated by the manufacturers and brokers this rear, the mere announcement that

war would undoubtedly cause immediate increases stimulated trade. The consumer speculating, bought up as much sugar as possible. The grocer ordered more from his jobber and in turn the jobbers over the country sent In calls to their brokers asking for

more sugar. Coming into the refiner from all parts of the country, this power was in a position to sit behind his desk, add another half cent raise each day and say, "Take it or leave it. Someone else wants it if you don't." No doubt exists among grocers that the high price of sugar will remain as it is only so long as the demand continues. When every family has stocked up with sugar, the price will come back to normal. With the heavy supply on hand in each family, there will be little demand for a short time. Another thing which affects the price slightly is the fact that shippers cannot secure burlap for sacks and they are again shipping in barrels, a much more expensive method. Too High to Can. There are good crops in local and shipped fruits. Tne grape crop is unusual this year. The peach crop is good but with the high price of sugar, housewives will be unable to can peaches except at prices beyond the reach of the average family. Pineapples, oranges and other semi-tropical fruits seem to be of good quality. Tomatoes are out of sight for canning. The long drought while the tomotatoes were beginning to form and while they were ready to ripen,

has made the supply poor and the quality poor. There seems to be no inclination on the part of farmers to increase prices on what they can offer the market. There is a plentiful supply of almost everything the farmer and truck gardener has. Within the past two or three days, a good supply of local musk melons of the tip top variety have been brought in from around Richmond and are being sold in preference to the shipped nut megs.

BY HERBERT TEMPLE European Manager of the International Newa Service. BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON, Aug. 15. Since the inception of the stupendous war now raging in Europe, much is heard of the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. Those two coalitions were formed ostensibly for defensive purposes and the two include all of the important nations of Europe, the six Great Powers. What they are: Triple Alliance Germany, AustriaHungary and Italy. This alliance was first a dual alliance between Germany and Austria, formed in 1878 after the Franco-Prussian War, as a defense against the encroachments of the French and Russians. Bismark, the great German chancellor was the prime mover in the alliance and he had visions of a "Dreikaiserbund," an alliance of Germany, Austria and Russia, which never materialized. In 1883 Italy entered the Triple Alliance. The pact was amplified in 1887 and renewed in 1902 and 1907. Its last period of expiration was June 14, 1914, but at that time the alliance was renewed for twelve years. Triple Entente England, France and Russia. This coalition had its beginning in 1895 when France and Russia laid the foundation of a dual alli

ance which was perfected in 1897. In

sia, only in the event that Russia Is the aggressor. England is under obligation to help France against Germany only when Germany started the trouble. Explains Aggressions. That is the explanation of the apparent anxiety of each of the warring nations to "pass the buck" and get out from under the onus of beginning the war. The Kaiser declared that Germany was forced into the war by the aggressions of France and Russia. France on the other hand strenuously asserted that the Germans were re

sponsible. For this reason also, both France and Germany committed acts of war before declaring war. German 'and French troops were rushed to the frontier and in some instances crossed it before the formal declarations came. The same is true of Russia. Each nation strove vigorously to provoke the other to declare War first, so that the technical responsibility might rest upon them. But finally the Kaiser's patience was tried to its limit and Germany declared war on France and Russia. Both those nations reciprocated immediately. With Germany apparently the aggressor, England had no recourse but get into the war or repudiate the Triple Entente.

GERMANS SEEK INFORMATION ABOUT JAPAN. WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.

At the Japanese embassy today silence as to the plans of the mikado's government is maintained.

"I was present when the trouble occurred, "said Mrs. Horton, "and I must positively decline to repeat the names Mrs. Sullivan called Mrs. George McKinley. It was awful. Mrs. George McKinley did not provoke Mrs. Sullivan and she only resisted her in self defense." Mrs. Sullivan asserted that she was a victim of a conspiracy and that her brother and his wife were attempting to secure her father's furniture and that was the reason she had ordered her sister-in-law to leave the house. She said Mrs. McKinley attacked her and beat her severely.

threats from the Kaiser. More than that, Italy has intimated she would probably throw in her lot with the Triple Entente if she were forced into the war. The apparent defection of Italy, while at no time officially declared apparently reduces the Triple Alliance to a Dual Alliance. The articles of agreement on which rest both the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente lay great stress on the assertion they are for defense only. For instance, Germany is pledged to assist Austria-Hungary against Rus-
