TURKS FACE FAMINE

ROME, Feb. 1O-Turkey is said 10 be
threatened with famine and that the
Germans are powerless to avert II. The
informant pointed out that Turkey her-
SELF is to blame for this, since until
her local products and sent most OF
them to Germany.
Immediately after Turkey Joined the
central central powers a company was formed
entitled Societe d'Approvisionnement
with the object to buy up all availa bic
foodstuffs, especially in Asia Minor
These fooSstufrs were supposed TO ne
resold at cost price to the population.
he products, however, were instead
both protitably exported to Germany

In this way Enver Pasha, minister OF
war Is said to have been benefited to
the extent of 800 daily, this being his
snare OF the profits. The new company
nuilt lavishly furnished palace az
Constantinople. and invited among otn-
ers the American ambassador to Tur-
key, Mr.. Morgenthau, for the house
warming event
Meanwhile the people are practically
sstaEvlng. They have no bread and are
are dearest. Potatoes, which are large
~ exported to Germany, now cast 20
cents n pound.
Turkey is flooded with useless Ger
man wares which are exchanged for
foodstuffs Ammunition and wEr ma.
terial supplied by Germany are like
wise exchanged for foodstuffs. The
Ilrst train on the Berlin Consta ntinopIe
line served TO convey German food
stutfs. The Germans planned regular
expectation, but starving Inhabitants
threatened 10 wreck the train. Hence
the service has now been discontinued
The Germans have depleted Turkey OF
foodstuffs systematically to such an ex-
tent that II is now extremely Difficult
oven Ia feed the troops. especially since
tho Russian fleet In the Black Sea and
the Anglo French warships in . the
AeECan have. checked the contraband
traffic.

RELIEF FOR HALIBUT
INDUSTRY IS ASKED
ReGfieId Suggests 10 State De-
partment AdViSabiIity Of
Arrangement With Canada.

Secretary OF Commerce Redfield has
suggested to the State Department
the Availability of diplomatic nego-
tiations with the Canadian govern
ment looking to the saving Of the
halibut Industry on the Pacific coast,
which 10 threatened with destruction
as q result Of Canadian competition.
Such . move Is favored by the Sec
retary in preference to legislation
that would put a tariff on halibut
brought from Canada into this coun-
tary that compromise might be
reached under which the Grand Trunk
= Pacific railroad would give Ketch-
1ltan. Alaska equal facilities with
Prince Rupert, Canadian termini. to
which 1t has extended its lines.
In years past the Pacific halibut in
dustry aEgregating el.00O.900 pounds
year has centered at Ketchikan,
Seattle. Since the Grand Trunk ex-
tension to Prince Rupert and the
Offering OF special inducements to
the fishermen to bring their catch to
that point, the halibut has been 60
ing through Canada.
II. g. Strong, of KetchiItan, is in
Washington seeking relief for the
industry, and the Department of Com
merce and Federal Trade Commits
Eion have given thought to the stu
alton.
The Prince Rupert line Of the Grand
Trunk gives a short line to the Eastern
United States. Secretary Redfield sug-
growing trade of Alaska, and he would
compromise on the Halibut industry
rather than risk the losing of the
Alaskan trade that will come with
the opening of the government
railroad. 1t has been suggested
that the government might find It 10

CRITICS OF ALLIES.
TO PRESS CLAIMS
Expected to Urge Concessions
to NeuEals as to Ship
= mentS.

With the Lusltania controversy prac-
tically settled, the differences with Eng
land and the allies over neutral ship
ments are expected to command more
and more attention.
That the elements in Congress which
have been critical Of the conduct of
England will bestlr themselves to in
creasing activity II regarded as certain
The Administration will be under in
creasing pressure to prod the British
government and to insist on conces-
sions in the treatment of neutral goods.
Senator Hoke Smith has already made
two speeches in the Senate criticising
the course Of England These speeches
will he followed up by members who are
insistent on a more vigorous course
toward the allies.
This turning of attention in the direc-
tton of Great Britain will be one ef-
feet OF an adjustment with Germany.
Another phase of the situation which
IL causing much discussion today Is
the political effect OF the adjustment
greatly relieved over the relaxation OF
tension, and the promise OF speedy set
tlement. 1t has been palpable for many
months that the Democratic leaders
have been highly concerned over the
German-American vote. 1t Is long
time until November, and with the sub
marine controversy near a close, pro-
vided always 1t stays closed, the Dem o.
cratic leaders are becoming hopeful
they can gradually appease many of
the German-American voters.
