High Prices in England.
Bv Charles P. Stewart.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London, April 13.-It costs more
to live in London today than it costs
to live in New York.
1t costs more to live in the smaller
cities and towns of England's prov
inces than it costs to live in the cities
and towns of the United States.
Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburg,
Milwaukee, Dallas, San Francisco
and Portland are cheaper places to
live in than Sheffield, Liverpool, Man
chester, Hull and English cities like
that.
Nevertheless, Britishers returning
today from the United States insist
their country still is cheaper for the
masses.
Their mistake lies in the fact that
the English do without many things
Americans consider absolute necessi-
ties. Most such things are so nigh
in England today that only plutocrats
can have them.
Practically the only exception in
England's favor is clothing; and even
clothing is higher. A good sack suit,
English fit, which used to cost $40,
now sells for $3.50. The price is
still rising.
SO are other prices. 1t is not a
gradual rise. Hardly day passes
tnat an advance Of 5 or 10 per cent
is not announced in some staple.
Beef is 40 cents, mutton %, pork
2S, hardly any lamb is to be had; the
killing of calves is prohibited; bread
Q cents a 2-pound loaf; butter AZ
cents; tea 50 cents; very soft coal
$3.50 a ton; anthracite SLIPS.
Rentals are about the same as in
The United States, but include nothing.
Cooking and lighting gas in a
5-room flat cannot be kept below $40
OF $12 monthly.
Telephone calls are 6 cents each.
A 5-mile street car ride costs 7
cents.
Cigars which would be dear in the
United States at nickel apiece re-
tail in England at IA cents.
The distilleries being used by the
government for munition making, it is
predicted that whiskey which sold at
7S to 96 cents a bottle will soon re-
tail at $2.4O.
The income tax has risen until it
is a fearful burden. 1t begins with
incomes of 1870 ponds (S624) yearly.
The assessment increases more than
proportionately as the income grows
larger. A mean earning $4,000 an
nually pays SO cents on every $3.50.
If his income is from invested capital
the rate is much higher.
The net result is that an English
family, moving to America and con-
tinuing to live according to the Eng
lish standard, would have more money
than at home, while an American fam
;ly moving to England and continuing
to live according to the American
standard would have materially less.

SOLDIER KILLED.

Ell PasO, April 13.-Obregon has
wired Gavira that an American
soldier has been killed at Parral.
A detachment entered the city
without permission, said the mes
sage. The pOpulace attempted to
repel them. The Americans re-
turned the fire. Carranza soldiers
restored order.

Little Likelihood of Compliance,
Though Grave Apprehension That
Refusal Will Lead to Intervention
By America.

Washington, April ia note from
Carranza, suggesting that it is time
for the United States troops to leave
Mexico is in the hands of the Mexi-
can embassy, but has not been given
to Secretary Lansing. The embassy
declares the note is not demand" OF
"ultimatum." 1t is characterized as
request" asking for negotiations
for withdrawal, giving the de factos
g. free hand in the Villa chase. The
embassy is uncertain whether to give
the note to Lansing translated into
English or in the original Spanish.
President Wilson has cancelled his
proposed trip to New York Satur-
day.
By many persons here this request
for withdrawal is looked on as an eX-
rlanation Of the recent transfer OF
Carranza troops to points in the rear
Of the advancing American column,
which is now stretched to a length
of more than 400 miles. The feeling
is that Carranza has so arranged his
forces as to make them serious men,
ace to the American line if there
should not be prompt compliance with
lis request for withdrawal.
But, in spite of this situation, it is
felt here that America has not full
filled her mission in Mexico, and that
there is no way to withdraw until
that is done without leaving the situ-
alton worse than it was before the
Punitive expedition entered Mexico.
There will, of course, be no author
itative statement by the government
until the matter has been presented
in formal way and given due consid-
Grafton.
Should it happen that there would
rot be compliance and that serious
difficulty should arise, it is pointed
cut that the advanced Americans are
nearer to the ocean at Topolobampa
Bay than they are to the Texas line,
and in the extreme emergency OF
relief expedition being a necessity it
would be apt to 60 by that route, fol-
lowing an existing railroad, and at
the same time avoiding the Carranza
troops which have been massed near
the border.
1t is also believed that one of the
first steps taken would be to call out
the rational guards of New Mexico,
Arizona and California to defend the
border, and thus leave the maximum
of standing army troops free to enter
Mexico.
One hears no serious suggestion
here that the troops will be recalled
Until the mission of the expedition has
been fully accomplished.

DELICIOUS,
WHOLESOME
6 SPEAR HEAD
Made by Modern Sanitary
Methods, Of the Choicest
Red BurIey Leaf

Able-bodied, manly men nat
urally like to che7V tobacco-and
they want plug tobacco, because
that is by far the most satisfying
form for chewing.
Spear Head is particularly de-
licious and wholesome, because it
is made of ripe, choice, mellow,
red Burley, hand-stemmed, thor
oughly cleansed, and pressed into
plugs so carefully and expertly
that not a drop of the precious
juice escapes.
Chew Spear Head and you get
the most enjoyable sensation to-
bacco can give-the direct con-
tact between the tongue and the
sweet, pungent, natural juices of
the leaf.
Spear Head has luscious, last
ing, fruity flavor you will find in
no other tobacco.
Try it. In SC and 1oc cuts.

CLINTON BALDWIN
WRITES ACCOUNT
OF ATLANTIC CRUISE
Continued frnnn 1st naual

cises, gun drills, torpedo attacks,
battle formations and numerous
ether kinds. These drills last
until about 1900 or 11::3O and
we have dinner at 1900. Drill
again at 200 or 2:30 sometimes.
We wash clothes at 400 and get
water again.
We eat supper at 900. Then
we get a call to our quarters at
about 700 and this takes until
about 7::30, and then we get our
hammocks out and fool around
for an hour or so and then turn
in. We have movies every night.
Off Block Island,
8-22-1916.
ALL day yesterday ships kept
joining us, so now we have about
forty war crafts of all descrip-
tions, torpedo boats, submarines,
etc., we even have hydroplane
aeroplanes. Some sight to see
them all together here in the
harbor. l understand war was
declared last night at 6 o'clock.
We leave out to sea this morn
ing to take part in the war game.
We had our second and last
shore party last night. Only 80
of our men were allowed to 60.
They drew lots, was not a lucky
one. Everyone went ashore the
day before yesterday we had
some time. First shore leave
for a week. About $500 men
were on the island, they surely
took charge of things. There are
only hotels on the island as it is
only a resort.
This cruise is a far bigger
thing than I ever expected. We
are being instructed in absolute
ly everything. Yesterday was
most interesting. We were in
structed in the loading and fir
ing Of 3-inch guns. Each man
has a station. l am a trainer,
but we will be switched around
so as to get it all. The trainers
work is to train the gun on the
target, the movements he deals
with is side ways or, training a
vertical line on the target. Then
the pointer gets a horizontal line
on the target and when the two
lines cross on the target he pulls
the trigger. We will practice
this all week and then next week
we will get actually experience
in firing. Think of it, actually
firing a big gun. Why I never
even thought of their letting us
do that, but l guess before we
get through they will give us a
ship to actually man alone. Some
of us even anticipate a ride in
a war aircraft.
| am enjoying things more
every day and am so glad came.
It is a wonderful experience.

29th ult was 20, 600 tons without Liverpool.
Last year 125, 600 tons.
Paris, May 4th-The text of the state
ment issued from the War Office this after
noon is as follows In Belgium our artillery
fire dismantled the works of the enemy at
Grand Dune and caused the explosion of a
depot of munitions. TO the west of the river
Mouse, there has been a violent lombard
ment in all the sectors together with fight
ing with grenades in the wood of Avocourt.
AS the night progressed we increased and
consolidated the gains we made yesterday
at Dead Mans Hill. Previous reports that
the losses of the enemy were considerable
have been confined. The preparatory fire
of artillery was particularly effective on the
enemy. At one point two German soldiers
came forward and surrendered in the midst of
our fire. They explained they were the last
survivors of the occupants III the trench. 10
the east of the river Mouse, there has been
a bombardment in the region of Vaux. In the
Woevre district, our artillery has taken part
in a number of maneuvres including the
concentration of a heavy fire. Our troops
operating in the vicinity of Eparges COM
passed the explosion of a mine. Other men
at once moved forward and occupied the
crater. East Of St. Mihiel, a strong recon-
NOTHING party of the enemy came forwardI
from it's lines in an endeavour to occupy oGe|
of our positions not far from Aprecot. French
forces met them and they were driven back.
The night passed quietly on the remainderl
of the front. A French aviator yesterday

shot with the cry OF Huns" For some
minutes he prevented Mr.. Birrell from making
a personal statement, and gave notice tnat
he would move a resolution calling attention
to the shooting of "Innocent men by this
Hun sh Government" Mr.. Birrell when he
got 4 bearing said he would have an oppor-
tunity as a private Member OF taking part
in the debate on the Irish rising. He candi-
dly admitted that be had made an untrue
estimate of the Sim Fem movement aud the
possibility of such as had occurred in Dublin,
especially in respect to the mode OF warfare
which had been pursued and the desperate
fighting displayed by the leaders and their
dupesTherefore, at the moment he learnedfrom
General Sir Jhon Maxwell that the insurrec-
ton had been quelled, he placed his resigna-
ton in rhe hands of the Prime Minister and
it had been accepted. He wished to say to
this criticism that the error which
be acknowledged, and which had been
of great and terrible consequences, had not
proceeded from any lack of thought, consl-
deration or anxiety. From the outbreak of
the war he took it to be only his duty to main
tain unbroken and unimpaired if possible the
position Of Ireland as q whole to the common
foe. In that hope and aim he had been gal
lantly assisted by Mr.. Redmond. He thought
of nothing else, cared for nothing else. 1t
had been said in the House, continued the
former Secretary, that Ireland was to be the
bright spot in the Empire in the hour Of the
country's dire nece ssity. He hoped it might
even yet still be said to be so. He was we'll
aware the difficulties were greatandthe ice thin.
Blu helconsidered it to be his duty to run great
risks in order to maintain in Ireland herself
and in the face of Europe a picture OF un-
broken unanimity within the boundaries OF
her soil. Mr.. Birrell said when he view
ed the smoking ruins of Dublin and the rum
of his own ambitions, there was one sad hope
in his heart that this was not Irish rebellion
and that new bonds of union might be forg-
ed. He hoped that some measure OF good
might come out of this great evil. The
Prime Minister in taking note of Mr.. BirrelFs
statement said that without preiudicing the
decision which might ultimately be taken, he
WAS sure the Honse had heard Mr.. Blrrell
not without emotion and sympathy, and he
assured Mr.. Birrell that he possessed IN a
peculiar degree the affection of all his col
leagues. Mr.. Redmond said that the whole
business in Ireland had beeu to him a misery
and o heartache, He paid q warm tribute to
Mr.. Birrell. He felt that he himself had in
cured some of the blame which Mr.. Birrell
had laid at his own door. The Nationalist
leader concurred in the view that the danger
of an outbreak was not a real one, and per-
haps what he had said in conversation might
have influenced Mr.. Birrell. While approving
the vigorous quelling of the rebellion Mr..
Redmond begged the Government not to show
undue harshness to "the great mass OF I'M
fortunate dupes involved"
