VIENNA IS FEELING
EFFECTS Of WAR IN
SCARCITY Of FOODS

ZURICH, Switzerland, Nov. 3O-Af-
ter fourteen months Vienna is begin
ming to realize the effects of the war,
which hitherto had left little outward
wark on the life of the Austrian capt.
tai. But in the past few weeks prices
of food have advanced by leaps and
bounds. Coal is becoming scarcer and
Gearer, just as winter is approaching
Clothing has doubled in price. And al
together the immediate outlook for the
great masses Of the population is ex-
tremely dismal.
Much of the trouble is due to the ar
my having taken nine-tenths of the
strong, able-bodied laboring men from
the city. Hardly any teamsters are
left, and great quantities of flour and
provisions, and coal, are lying in the
railway warehouses and yards, caus-
ing a serious congestion. The situa-
ton is so serious that the city council
is taking steps to use the municipal
street sweepers for bringing goods to
the storekeepers in the city. Switch
tracks are being laid to the mills and
railway yards, at a cost of sixty thous-
and dollars.
Another cause of the present high
prices of food is the manipulation Of
spectators. who are hiding large
stores of provisions, and so creating an
artificial shortage in the markets. $1.15
a pound-at which price nobody could
buy more than quarter of a pound at
a time was recently asked for fresh
butter, and large stocks suddenly came
On the market, prices falling at once 10
dollar pound.
Convinced that huge stocks of food
stuffs were somewhere in existence n
tie city, the Vienna police have just
made thorough search of all the
storage warehouses, resulting in sur
prising discoveries. Among the pro-
visions concealed in these places were
found hundreds of packages of rice,
flour, sugar, cheese, canned foods,
chocolate, currants, tea and coffee ami
condensed milk. Steps are being talk
en- to find out the owners who will be
vigorously prosecuted for conspiring
to raise the price of food
Although the new flour is now in the
market, the supply in the retail bak-
cries is very limited. In the poorer

British Business Men in China
Haze Taken Steps to Stop What
They Call Trading With Enemy

you be good enough to inform your
committee that l, as neutral, have
dealt with, and intend to continue to
deal with, Germans, Austrians, Turks
and Bulgarians? A neutral does not
take sides, and it would be as improp-
er, if the committees contention held
good, for me to deal with Britishers
il l declined to deal with subjects of
the other savage belligerents.
Neither the committee nor the Brit
ish government can impose jurisdic
ton on me. Their only remedy. if they
desire to force their attitude, is to at
tempt an expulsion-if they can do it.
The next step would be for the COM
mittee of the Shanghai club to forbid
neutral members to deal with the enc
mics of Great Britain or to suffer ex-
pulsion.
THAT l write so plainly is because
the committee have adopted the Com
mittee of Safety inquisition of the
French revolution with its attendant
secret Investigations, accusations and
general hole-and-corner policy, which
is one of the most despicable forms of
rule, instead of frankly asking neutral
members of their doings. Have the
committee quite lost their heads, or is
it another specimen of British stupid
officialdom
Charges are made repeatedly by neu-
trails in the Chinese papers that much
Of the present agitation on the part of
the British business men is largely

ing used to their own commercial ad-
vantage

CURED of each person who receives
the amount of liquors prescribed as
legal in this measure. In the affidavit
the person receiving the liquor must
swear that he is giving his right name,
that he has not received a shipment
of liquors within the past thirty days,
and that he has none then on hand.
Illegal Method.
1t is provided in the law that this
oath shall be taken before any agent
or representative of the express COM
pany transporting the packages of
liquors in question. Attorneys express
the belief that this is an Illegal
method of administering an oath, in
asmuch as the company agent is not a
notary public and does not come with
in The definition laid down by law of
persons who are authorized to admin
lister legal oaths in the state.
Of course, the good citizen does not
want to swear to falsehood, whether
the oath he makes is legal one or
not, and even though he could not
be convicted under it of perjury. But
it is pointed out that under this ar
rangement the affidavit and oath are
likely to become a mere matter of
form and that the average citizen who
is extremely anxious to get his liquor
more frequently than the law allows
can sign the affidavit with apparent
impunity. Whether or not this is

Prima Facia Evidence.

While the law says that possession
of liquors in greater quantities than
are specified in the anti-shippnig bill
a, any time after May 1, 1916, shall
constitute prima facia evidence of
purpose to violate the prohibition alw.
it is pointed gu THAT any citizen show
ing that whatever stock he has on
kSnd is for his own use, can, of course,
escape the penalty This phase of the
anti-shipping bill is of peculier inter-
est to the many who feel that two
quarts a month is considerably less
& an enough to meet their actual re-
quirements There is already much
planning, therefore, to lay in abund-
ant supplies in pantries, cellars, base
ments and other out-of-the-way places,
where they may be kept against a
day of possible relaxation in the rigid
enforcement of the anti-shipping law.
Undoubtedly between now and May
/, 1916 the mail order houses will do

case, and bottle goods, but by the

men in China, in what they term an
effort to prevent trading with the en-
envy, have adopted tactics which are
not designed to create good feeling
between neutrals and British subjects.
At Shanghai and other business CEN
tiers a secret list of firms with which
Britishers must not trade has been
circulated. In many cases these lists
hive done great injustice to neutrals.
Americans have suffered especially
and are making frequent complaints
> the American legation in Picking
and to various consular officers.
Frequently, these boycott lists have
been made, apparently, without prop
er Investigations In some cases, the
names of neutrals which happened to
suggest German or Austrian origin
have been included in the lists very
h, Justly. For a time the neutrals
were not able to understand why
their business was dwindling SO de-
cidedly, but now the British methods
are very generally understood
At present the Shanghai stock ex-
Grange is in Juror through an eff
fort of the British members to con-
troll the action of neutral members of
the exchange. A few days ago the
following notice was posted on the
bulletin board of the exchange:
THE Shanghai stock exchange is
an institution incorporated under Brit
ish ordinances and under British
law and members are hereby mott
ged that the committee will take all
means in their power to uphold His
Britianic majesty's regulations re-
garding enemy trading.
Certain neutral members are be-
lieved to have entered into transac-
tons with clients and outside brok-
ers who are subjects of countries
enemies to Great Britain. Whilst the
committee is at present unable to dis
cipline neutral members who deal
with such offending members comes
within the scope of the kings regula-
tions.
For the protection of British mem
bers the committees are willing to
Confidentially make known from time
to time the names of these neutral
members who are suspected of deal
ing with unlicensed enemy subjects.
The committee hereby notifies Brit
ish members that in the event of their
being found to be knowingly contra
vening the kings regulations in the
above manner they will forthwith be
suspended and information regarding
their case will be laid before the
crown advocate.

Chairman"
The exchange has four neutral mem
bers, two Americans and two Danes,
Gordius Niglsen, a Dane, lost no time
in taking up the cudgel for the neu-
trail. He addressed the following let
ter to the secretary of the exchange:

CONVERTS JOIN CHURCH
Many "Trail- il-hitters" Now Members
Of Congregations.

Evidences Of the effects OF the "Billy"
Sunday campaign were shown yesterday
when many persons were received INTO
Philadelphia churches who had been
trail hitters' in the tabernacle during
tho last two weeks.
The majority OF converts, numbering
several hundreds snid they had never
been members OF churches either in this
city or elsewhere. There were also many
from local and Out-Of-town churchs who
had resolved to lead Christian lives ns
the result OF Sundays preaching and who
renewed their old pledges 10 Christ and
the church when they were welcomed
into active membership yesterday
At st. Matthew's Methodist Episcopal
Church, SD and Chestnut streets. the
pastor the Rev. Richard Radcliffe, re-
ceived eight trail hitters" into fun mem
bership yesterday, and he has received
cards OF double that number of persons
who are to be received into the church
later.
81 believe the Sunday campaign Is going
20 do wonderful good for the churches
OF Philadelphia" said the Rev. Mr. Rad
cliffe. "EVerywhere they are receiving
new members, and the old ones in many
cases are aroused to great activity than
they have known in years. ! believe the
benefit will be far greater than could
now be estimated"
