FOOD SHORTAGE
 CAUSE OF RIOTS
 BY PORT UCUESE

Lisbon, Portugal, Dec. 3-Portugal is more remote from the seat. of war than any other country in Europe, but it is suffering a scarcity of food that is as serious as that in some of the be1ligerent countries.
 Provision stores and depots are the scenes of almost daily riots in pro- test against the conditions. On the night of October 21, for instance, a, mob of 2,000 men, some of them armed with pick axes and other inn pIenents, stormed the provision store of an important English dealer in the Armada district and plundered the place. The Republican Guard, which crossed the river to restore order, was received by the mob by shots ana bombs. The guard fired several vol 1eys and numerous persons on both sides were wounded.
 The scarcity of food is due in part to the fact that successive govern ments of Portugal have bound them selves to supply Great Britain with certain quantities of provisions sent to Gibraltar Under this agreement large numbers of cattle and miscel- Ianeous provisions are sent out of the country every week with the result that there has been almost no meat in the markets of Lisbon. The egg supply is also less than ha16 of what it is in ordinary times, the shortage being partly due to the fact that a good many eggs are sent surreptiti- ousIy over the border into Spain, where they may be sold for double the price fixed officially by the gov ernnnent in the food markets here.

PROMINENT WOMAN
 SUFFRAGE WORKER GIVEN DISTINCTION
Miss Presley Smith Is As sistant Secretary of Chris
 tiana Legation.

London, Dec. 3-The appointment of 9 prominent suffragist leader, Miss Presley Smith, as an assistant secre- tary in the British Legation at Chris tania is a departure in British policy and tribute to the work of British women in the war When the cam paign for suffrage was being waged before the war, Sir Edward Grey de- clared himself as a supporter of equal rights for the sexes, and several members of Parliament asked if the Minister of Foreign Affairs would dare to show the courage of his con victions by appointing women to the diplomatic service. practical an sWera to the question has now been given Nor way itself was the pioneer nation in this movement, having a woman secretary of legation on it's own diplomatic roll.
 Miss Presley Smith has been the organizer of the National Union for Suffrage in Edinburgh for the last two and a half years, and since the war began has shown fine organizing ability in the management of socie- ties for the relief of soldiers and sail ors. and their families. Prominent advocates of the Woman's movement have been urging the government to open the higher branches of the civil service to University women and have urged their suitability for diplomacy. There is no doubt that Miss Smith since that is a suffrage country, where women are eligible to all branches of the public service, except the army and the church,

DUTCH CONTRABAND
 LAWS ARE EVADED. IN CLEVER MANNER
Fats and Oils Come aAcross Frontier in Guise of Mar
 garine and Soap.

Amsterdam, Dec. 3.-The Dutch newspapers have recently been turn ing a search light on the frontier traf- f1c which is alleged to be furnishing Germ@ny with many commodities which she needs. According to the Telegraf, there is little actual viola tion of the letter of the Dutch regula- tions regarding -contraband, but there is a great deal of skil1fu1 evasion which is proving very profitable to the Dutch trader.
 Fats and oils are contraband, and therefore offer difficulties to the snug gler, but ''nargarine'' and "soap" are in the list of allowed exports. A cartoon in the TeIegraaf shows an end less train of wagons winding along country road towards the frontier, each wagon loaded with cases labelled Margarine and Soap and a note underneath the picture reads Fats and oils are contraband, but marga- rine and soap are all right, so here we go!''
 A correspondent writing from Ser gen-op-Zoom, which is one of the most convenitnt points for export to Germany, says: Each freight train which comes in seems to contain greater or smaller number of cases of so o-ca1led margarine. The platform is filtered with them, the storeroom is piled almost to the ceiling Outside, the station yard is thronged with ve- hfc1es. I counted 31 carts five hand carts, several dogcarts, and go men
 with bicycles. The entire troop is commonly referred to by residents of Bergen as the snugglers.'
 'tAs rapidly as possible the cases are hustled out from the station and imm ediate1y the procession starts for the frontier There are three roads from Bergen across the frontier, but the 1eniency of the customs officials seems to vary considerably at the three points, and one road is. followed by the majority of the margarine-la- den wagons
 FtI am told that an average of about 20, 900 pounds of margarine and 2,0o0 pounds of soap is sent over the iron tier from Bergen-op-Zoom daily. It is commonly believed that the so-cal1- ed margarine is ,nneatable, and that the 4fsoap'' is useless for washing. The soap, it is said; is composition of 1inseed oil, for which there is a great demand in Germany, while the mar garine' is said to be composed of cer- tain elements useful for lubrication-''

Some as Out of Race.
ter Asseei.rrp psts.,


WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-Senti-
ment began to develop Monday In
the Republican National Committee
In favor of holding the Republican
convention before the Democrats
meet to choose a presidential candi-
date. The Democratic convention
will begin in st. Louis June IA.
The committee will meet in formal
session here tomorrow to decide the
time and place for holding the Re-
publican convention. Members who
want an early convention favor hav-
Ing the party get all the political ad-
vantage 1t can by holding the first
convention. Those who favor a date
after the Democratic convention con-
tend the Republican party should not
frame its line of attack until the
Democrats have made their nomina-
ton. Another argument used
against the proposal for an early
convention is that several states
hold primaries for the election of
convention delegates in June.
Talk about the convention CITY
was largely divided Monday between
