increases TODAY
IN FDODSTUFFS
Flour Up Fifty Cents, and
Eggs and Butter Also
Increase
CHEESE AND LARD ON
THE CLIMBING LIST

Increases were in order in the Will
mngton food market today and were
marked in several instances, but were
somewhat offset by decline of the cost
Of meat. However. the advances will
cost the consumers dearly, unless
there is a marked change by the be-
ginning Of next week. dealers. say.
Flour went up to $3.50 barrel re-
tail while wholesalers were forced to
pay so cents more at the mills. The
Wholesale selling price is now $3.50
per barrel, and there Is every indica-
ton that this price will be further in
creased.
Sugar continues to wholesale at
$40 per hundred. The retail price is
SIS, and some merchants are inclined
to view that sugar will jump to $3.50
or 80 per hundred retail The mar
ket is very strong and with the re-
sumption of expectation will go much
higher.
Eggs jumped another penny today,
the wholesale quotation being % cents
per dozen, while cream cheese is up
two cents per pound, and is costing
retail merchants SIS per hundred.
Butter followed suit and the retailers
are paying S33 per hundred for
creamery. The retail price is 35 cents
per pound.
The price of lard. which was off
90 cents per hundred early in the
week, came back strong today. Lard
is selling at $3.50 per hundred and
is even higher than some grades of
beef. This is remarkable in view of
the fact that pork is off 81 per
hundred, the wholesale price being
SIG.
Pork is not the only product of the
packers which is going down in price.
Lamb is off 50 per hundred and
butchers are paying only SIS, while
straight beef is down to the same
price
Green stuffs are in large demand
with prices firm.

lContinued from First Pape.l


have foodstufs enough to withstand
a protracted siege.
Every effort is being made to inn
press upon the japanese people the
admiration and respect the govern
nent has for the United States. The
faction which in the past has bitterly
opposed the United States and de-
manded that Japan assume an ag-
gressive policy on the California anti
alien land laws, has been completely
squelched. BY direct orders Of the
Foreign Office, the Japanese news
papers whose policies are dictated
by the government give particular
prominence to the fact that the
United States has been asked to act
for Japan in Berlin in the event of
hostilities. Denials from both Pre-
mier Okuma and Foreign Minister
kato that Japan has any idea Of ter
ritorial aggression in Samoa are
prominently displayed.
The suggestion, cabled from the
United States, that Japan wanted Ger.
man Samoa because of its strategic
location when the Panama Canal was
considered has been attacked direct.
ly by the premier. He insisted in an
authorized interview today that the
only reason for Japanese interference,
in the struggle now occupyinl
Europe's attention was to insure thai
the commerce Of the Orient would
not be interfered with. And the
Premier insisted that Japan had nc
intention Of retaining Germany's
leased territory, but planned to re.
store it to China.

Antwerp PLANS
FOR LONG SIEGE
Continued From First PAGE

NDhtihutu FROM fllSt EaQo.
The French troops have taken a number
OF entrenched positions held by the en-
emy in series of brilliant bayonet
charges in which the superiority Of the
French soldiers has been conclusiveIy
demonstrated.
"Ihe advanced guards of the French
forces in Lorraine have encountered
strong resistance, the enemy being
strongly entrenched, and have with
drawn to the main forces"
The War Office processes to have no
information of the occupation of Brus-
sells other than that already made pub
lie. The German infantry were expect
ed to occupy the city today in force,
thus relieving the cavalry which will
continue to move southwark. The Ger
mans are reported to have strong col
umns at Tirlemont, Diest, Louvain and
Malines. IL was believed here that the
War Office was expecting the Germans
TO come INTO contact with the main force
of the allied army today Some reports
already have the armies engaged in pre-
lnminary skirmishing although the Off
cial bureau says it has no such informa-
tion.
Reports from London denying that the
main British army is in Belgium. are ac-
cepted here as for strategic reasons only
and it is expected the first general re-
port of developments following the occu-
patton of Brussels will reveal lust what
the English forces are doing. To the
fact that not a single shot was fred
in defense of Brussels by the Belgians
and that the civic guard was disarmed
before the invaders reached the capital
Is due the salvation of the city itself.
The German commander is understood
TO have pledged himself, so long as his
orders ale obeyed, to protect the city
with its many beautiful and historic
buildings.
The retirement Of the main Belgian
army to the defenses of Antwerp takes
these forces out of the future fight
ing IL is admitted at the War Office
that it will be difficult for the French
and English to live up to the example
set by these devoted soldiers who for
days have checked the great German
fighting machine.
All Of the official statements from
the War Office today minimize the
importance of the Belgian retirement.
Responsibility is accepted for il and
the explanation is made that "The
Belgians fulfilled their part and now
the sterner work of the future will
be taken up by the allies"
