100 DAYS FOOD is
STORED IN ENGLAND

London, Sept. There is today in
London only food enough to provision
the city for one hundred days. In
quiry showed other English cities to
be in about the same situation. About
the only commodities of which there
were noticeable shortage We're bacon
and eggs, the staples of the British
breakfast table
But there is little alarm over the
situation, as it is known that freight
vessels are on their way from Au-
stralia and Canada with foodstuffs,
which, barring accidents of war, will
arrive within few days, and it is
Anticipated that freight traffic between
the United Kingdom and the United
States will be largely restored be-
fore the 2.ae hundred days eiapse.
Coming 80 actual figures, J. G.
Broodrank, chairman of the docks ard
warehouse committee of the port of
London authority, said that the pres
ent stock in the port warehouses and
in ships discharging cargoes included
$4,000 tons of meat, the supply being
so plentiful that it was necessary TO
use :: new warehouse for a part of it.
The warehouses were having a very
busy time, said the chairman Vessels
were entering and leaving the port, he
said, as if nothing unusual were hap
pening.
The official mentioned as an inter-
estinc historical fact that the same
thing happened as the result of the
Napoleonic war. In 1918 the West
India Dock Company paid dividend
of 221A per cent, as compared with
nomar! 10 per cent dividend, this be-
ing entirely the result of rush ship
ping to London due to the unsettled
conditions on the continent.
With regard to cereals, there are
large stocks in port, including $4,000
tons of wheat, 5000 tons of flour.
$4,000 tons of corn and 5000 tons of
barley.
The dock authorities, with these fig
ures in mind, voiced the opinion that
it was unnecessary and thereby Grim.

their prices. The shortage of eggs
and some imported luXuries, they said,
might prove blessing in disguise by
inducing the English people to produce
more of their supplies at home.

BIG JAPANESE FLEET

San Francisco, Sept. 3.-The lar

fourteen warships, is headed for San

plucky defense.
Before evacuating Amiens, the al

Vast numbers of German troops are
marching southwark by way of Ami
ems.
M. Fiquet, mayor, held long con-
ference with the German commander
and issued a proclamation to the pop
ulace, announcing the surrender and
enjoining the people to make no dis
turbance. Their tricolor was hauled
down from the town hall and the
German flag hoisted.
The passage of the German troops
through Amiens was a businesslike
affair. There was no music, as at
Brussels.
The soldiers were war-stained from
fighting and marching, their faces
tanned by the sun and their cloth
ing covered with mud. AS they passed
through Amiens they sang national
songs continuously. These were chief
ly members of the Iron Guard and
Bran0enburghers, the flower of the
German army, who had been in the
forefront since the hard fightign be-
gan.
President Poincaire and members
of the French government have fled

Am;ens has been captured by the
Germans and Boulogne has been
abandoned, thus becoming an open
city for occupancy by the Germans
whenever they see fit.
