FOOD PRICES HIGH
AS RESULT OF WAR

London, January $3.50 a. m.
London newspapers are devoting prom

steady increase in the cost of food and
other necessities, which in many cases
are from 20 to so per cent dearer than
before the war. Coal has risen 10 pei

The Chronicle says:

ENGLISH PAPERS
FIND SATISFACTION
IN HALDANE'S SPEECH

London, January 9.--(3:44 a. m }
Morning newspapers which favor con-
scription find much satisfaction in the
guarded reference Niscount Haldane,
lord high chancellor made in yester-
days speech in the House of Lords, to
the power of the King and his ministers

without special act of Parliament.
Viscount Haldane expressed the opin-
ION that resort to such a measure had
not become necessary, but Lord Cursor
Of Keddleston, who followed him, seized
on this guarded reference, declaring
Viscount Haldanes remarks had car
ried the matter farther than it ever
had been carried before. He also criti-
.ized Viscount Haldane's reticence about
the number of troops contemplated and
asked whether the war office was TAX
ing preliminary steps to carry out q
policy of CONSUMPTION If necessary.
In reply to this and similar questions
the Marquis of Crewe declined to go
further than to say that the matter
would be the subject of the careful
elaboration by all the Kings ministers.

When the full history of the great
war comes to be written, two docu-
ments will be cited as having been
largely responsible, for the colossal
struggle now raging on the continent,
says London Tit-Bits. One of these is
| the famous 'scrap of paper" the treaty
concerning the neutrality of Belgium
which Germany CONTEMPORARY tore
up, whilst the other Is a parchment
scroll, yellow and cracked, which lies
In the Cars palace at Petrograd. This
amazing document is the will of Peter
the Great of Russia, and it contains
coursels which for two centuries arc
believed to have guided the destinies
CT Russia. Every Car on his access
sion to the throne has the will read =,
the SHOWS" may become the ruler of
the whole world. The present war is
one of the stepping stones to this end.
The events which led up to the mobil-
ization of Russia last July were proph-
ested by Peter the Great with almost
uncanny accuracy. In his historical will.
which he penned in 1925. he wrote:
I'm her bid for world supremacy Rus
STA must take pains to establish Ind
maintain an intimate union with Aus
tria, apparently countenancing its
schemes for future ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and
all the while secretly rousing the jeal =
ousy of minor states against it. In this
way we must bring it to pass that
one or another party shall seek aid
from Russia, and thus we shall exer
else a sort of a protectorate over The
country which will pave the way for
future supremacy"
Austria according to Peter, was 20 Re
considered only a pawn In the diplo-
matte negotiations by means OF which
Russia was to force it's way to unas-
sailable power. His plan was to cajoIe
the nation whilst it could be OF use
TO the Russians, and to strike It a
deadly blow when it stood in the way
of the country's progress.
Over 200 years ago Peter the Great
falling hand laboriously inscribed these
prophetic words. proving that he had
the power to trace the course of Bal
kan diplomacy with amazing exacti-
tude. Some months ago all that he an
ticipated came to pass. Servia and
Montenegro were provoked to war, and
they turned to Russia for aid. That fur
nished the spark which kindled the
European confla grafton, and, whatever
the outcome of the struggle, Russia s
influence in the Balkan states will be
infinitely greater in the future As re-
CARDS Austria, Russia is now striking
with a vengeance

meant to guide the future Cars of his
country, so that they might oest fur
