To the Editor: Need We be put to the
trouble and expense Of a referendum on
woman suffrage? The question seems TO
me To have settled itself, not by rival
propaganda, but by the logic Of facts.
The MAYOR of Seattle, whom the women
in their first burst of sentimentalIty re-
called. is now comfortably back in office
by their votes. Some sunragists collect
ed together in Cooper Union. New York
City. and other places throughout the
United States and, after war with Huer-
"a was an accomplished fact. sent
resolution to the President asking him 10
desist At that meeting the very purpose
for which it was called became obscured
by enthusiastic Socialists who wanted
TO protest against the condition OF af-
fairs in-Of all places-Colorado, the
model suffrage State.
What has happened in Colorado. where
women have voted for generation
Resting not alone on male physical force.
but on the Sentimentality of the female.
the State has become so weakened in
its fabric that it cannot keep its own
order, but has to call to the President:
Come over into Macedonia and help
us
IL is not only the suffragists and women
voters who have demonstrated the I'M
fitness of women for the ballot. bug those
protesting against the woman ballot
who sensibly agree that II never shOG.i
be asked
Every day in the subway some woman
either jabs me with her hatpin or pushes
A wired ribbon or plume into my fac
This is just how women are treating

FOOD FAMINE IS
 TERROR OF LONDON

London Aug. 7-A1ready a short age of food supplies is being felt here Today prices simply leaped upward, following the declaration of war. The eovernunent says No need for anxiety But the people are alarmed
 In the retail stores meat is up to cents a pound The price of oeef- steak. which yesterday was s1 cents q pounds. is 4z cents today
 Tea has been raised cents pound and sugar 2 cents Eggs have risen SO per cent cooked meats, 20 per cent; butter, 16 per cents and bacon, s12 per cent
 The increase in the cost of eggs and bacon means that the poorer classes must now do without the Eng lish1nar.s favorite breakfast dish.
 It is impossible to get vegetables in Covent Garden, or any of the other markets, after midday. Potatoes are $5Sa ton more than last week, and green stuff double
 Fish is also much dearer. The fish market is in danger of practical ex- tinction. No trawling Is allowed in the North Sea. and the only fishing that can be done is taking place we'll within the three-mile limit.
 On Mark Lane the price Of wheat advanced from s1 to $1.25 per quarter, while maize rose from $ ? to $2.50 per quarter.
 The public is indignant over the rise of meat and bread prices. It is claim ed that the increase is unjustffied. as flour is not dearer and there are pien- tifsll supplies Of meat in cold storage here.
 In reply to a question in, the House of Commons MT. Asaulth urged all classes to abstain from extravagant consu nlptior of all kinds of foodstuffs during the next few months.
 Tn several districts the retail stores opened for only few hours Many stores have had to close entirely, be cause their stock is gone and they can obtain no fresh supplies.
 When they found prices had gone up. women in the East End became infuriated and stormed the stores rather than pay. Before the police could arrive the women had carried off everything they could lay their hands on.
 The British government is comp1et- ing a scheme to control the food sup plies of tke entire country Many of the big provincial towns are ih as bad situation as London
 All possible steps are being taken by the authorities to allay public anxiety and prevent unjustifiab1e and artificial increases of prices.
 The Home Office has issued a state ment, saying that there is no conceiv- able circumstance in which. a wheat famine can arise, and fear of a. scar city is groundIess. In addition to four months supply actually in granaries or being harvested here. there are large consi ignments of wheat now on the way here, much of which is al ready near British shores, the Home

Secretary says

The situation regarding meat was not less satisfactory, the Home Office declared. Normal killings Of home stock supply s per cent of our annual consumptien,'' reads the statement, and we are not necessarily dependent upon foreign imports for the balance of our supplies, as in case of e1ner- gency it could be provided by slaugh- tering 8 larger proportion Of our own stock
 This contingency cannot arise in the present circumstances. There is now an exceptionally large supply of foreign meat in cold storage and heavy consignmerts are on the way to our shores Therefore,. no justifica- ton exists for any rise in the prices of bread or meat

Aug. 7-Fears are entertained that if the European war scontinues the carpet industry of this place will become seriously interfered with Practically all the dye stuffs come from Germany. Much of the wool comes from Russia and China. and a continuation of the present war means that when the present supply $ of dye and wool is exhausted. it may be impossible to get a. new importa- tion. and the mills would then have to close for an indefinite period.
