Prices Vary in Accordance with Mar
ket Changes. Stewards Assert.

Those who dine in Washington hotels
receive the benefit of downward as well
as upward fluctuations in food prices. the
bills of fare accurately rejecting the cur
rent ma arket prices of food. according to
the stewards of several of the largest
local hostelries.
OF course, the greatly increased cost of
all foods has been felt by hotels and
cafes. as well as by private homes, but
the cost to patrons OF hotels has not kept
pace with the increase in expenses.
Charles Schaffner steward at the New
Willard for the past eleven years. and
for thirteen years steward of the Wal
dorf-Astorla, New York says that while
the prices on the menu Of a modern hotel
are raised or lowered to meet changing
costs of foodstuffs, there are many items
which have greatly increased in price and
do not affect the bill presented by the
waiter
The cost Of such items as peas. beans.
flour, cheese. butter, eggs. mushrooms,
tomatoes and all meats have increased
during the past year from Is to 100 per
cent. These items have been increased in
price on the bill Of fare. other items of
expense. however. such as coal, soap.
labor charges and many other things
which do not appear to the guest. are
not taken into consideration when the
prices on the bill are fixed by the stew
ard.
All big hotels in the East exchange bills
Of fare with one another, not only to keep
posted on prices, but to adopt innovations
in the food line. Within the last week
some of the largest New York hotels
have increased prices for nearly all dishes
on their menus. but so far Washington n
has not followed their example.

WILL fight EMBARGO,
SAYS NATIONAL GRANGE
Agricultural Body Opposed to Limit
ing Food Exports.

Bitter opposition to any restriction of
export shipments of foodstuffs developed
at the final session Of the National
Grange of Patrons Of Husbandry yester-
day, and that all the strength Of the in
dIvidual members and affiliated organi-
zations will be thrown against an en-
barge on food products Of any kind was
made plain.
The Grange unanimously, and with lit
tie debate, passed a resolution to this
effect at the Raleigh Hotel In its final
session.
IAN embargo on food may or may not
be practicable" said Senator Gallinger,
of New Hampshire, who arrived in Wash
ington yesterday. Everybody is COM
planning of the high cost of living" he
said, "and there can be no doubt It is
most serious situation. 1 question
whether Congress would impose an en-
barge. That was tried once, but without
success" -s~

Meanwhile the work OF recruiting new

Through these branch organizations
the members of the local body hope to
be able to exert pressure on members OF
Congress through voters in their district,
and in this way advance the cause of the
government employe in the House OF
Representatives and Senate.
1t Is the intention Of union officials to
apply within a short time for a national
charter. and the central headquarters OF
the union will be located I'm Washington.
Through their delegate, President II. n

TT seems to me that England has
passed through three stages of her
appreciation of the real meaning of
this slaughter Of the human race,
eupomistically called warfare.
I'm its first stage she felt she was
highest of which was her national
honor-her pledged word to recognize
and maintain the integrity. autonomy,
and independence Of Belgium.
Then 1t came down on England that
the fight was not merely for national
honor, but for national existence itself.
She began to realize that the aggres-
sive and arrogant foe with whom she
had come to grips was scheming and
campaigning not only to storm Paris
and capture Petrograd. but to invade
England and raid London.
England was to be the Kaiser's
coaling station!
Finally England began to wake I'D to
the real inner meaning and significance
of the nfe-and-death struggle to which
she had committed herself and her
people.
think may say that all Of US. with
out exception or rank, creed or politics.
have had at least to face the awful
drawn, not to defend national claims
only. but international rights also.
In other words. the allies. from Petro-
grad TO Rome. and from Rome to Paris.
and from Paris to London. are linked
together, resolved never to sheathe sword
or silence guns. or cry hold. enough. till
they are in a position. not only to come
to terms with the enemy. but on the
contrary, TO dictate their own terms to
him.

enemy was prepared once more to shout:
'world-conquest or death
God avert such a catastrophe to
Europe again."
