MINISTERS UNDER
FIRE IN GERMANY
Blamed for Food Troubles
in Heated Debate in
Reichstag Board.

Berlin, Dec. Vigorous and unre-
strained discussion Of the problem OF
food regulation continues in the Bud
get Committee OF the Reichstag. Re
ports Of the debate indicate that at
tempts are being made 70 lay the blame
for various alleged failings on the
shoulders OF producers. dealers or con-
suriers, or representatives OF different
ministries. Both the Minister OF the
Interior, Clemens Delbrueck. and the
Minister of Agriculture, Baron Won
Schorlemer, have come under FIRE.
One Radical speaker directed his criti-
cism against producers for desiring
higher maximum prices. He pointed
out that the German tariff system IN
times OF peace had been directed for
years toward strengthening German
agriculture for its task IN war time.
Every slice Of bread and every pound
Of meat had been burdened with tax
for this purpose. Farmers should
therefore, be contented with small
profits at the present.
Minister Delbrueck make short
statement, declaring that the regula'
ton OF the supply Of fats was the most
difficult task in the field Of food regu-
lations. He announced that the gov
eminent had decided 10 permit the. sal
Of imported butter at higher price
than that charged for the home article.

LONDONERS FEAR
DRAFT WILL COME
Three Days Left for Derby Plan
to Vindicate Voluntary
Recruiting System.

London, Dec. -Four days more
will tell the story Of the success or
failure Of Lord Derby's scheme for
filing the ranks Of the British army.
Indications to-day are that much sppre-
hension is felt over the outcome. In
easiness prevails among men eligible
for service who have not offered them
selves. From all sides they hear warn
ings Of what will occur if this weeks
enrolment does not bring the average
up to 10000 a week, the quota specified
by Lord Derby at the outset Of the
campaign.
The proposition advanced in certain
quarters to allow more time is not
meeting with favor The limit having
been advanced once. those who have
studied the situation do not believe a
further delay would remedy the mat
ter. Some newspapers declare II poor
policy to allow any more time and dwell
on the necessity of securing promptly
the required number Of men.
Recruiting officials and orators all
over the city are redoubling their ef-
forts in the attempt to save the volun-
tary system, as tits recognized that IN
case the Derby plan fails there will be
immediate action BY Parliament and
CONSUMPTION will be fact. In the event
that the final date of voluntary enlist
ment is postponed until January /, no
steps toward compulsory service could
be taken before February, when Parlla-
men. reassembles after the mid-winter
recess. This, it is believed, would
cause a serious setback in plans for the
spring campaigns.
There is general feeling that
promises have not been kept and that
voung men have not come forward as
Lord Derby felt justified in expecting
they would. However, recruiters look
for a heavy enlistment during the next
few days, and will withhold their Iudg-
ment until the last moment

Facts stated in the report of Dr. l.. .D Ricketts for the year 1914 are re- nected by figures He said Through out the year 1914 the political disturb .ance and civil war in Mexico contin- .ued. During the first half of the year we were obliged to close down our works for short periods, once because of local disorder and once because of the landing of troops at Vera Cruz. Finally on August 10 we were again obliged to close again because of con tinued warfare in Northern Sonora"

The boiler plant has 15 boilers with a capacity of 42OO' h.p In the power plant the electrical apparatus has ca- pacity of 5,S5O k.w. and all plants are electrically operated therefrom except the water pumping plant at Oie de Agua Here the water supply of the company is obtained. g miles from Cananea It believers 1,50O.O0 gal Ions of water per day.
