WORKING PEOPLE
HAVE LITTLE FOOD
Mayor OF Cordoba Assem-
bles 10000 in Bull Ring
To Receive Food.

y a ADRID, Spain, May 6.-Spain, in
M spite of her remoteness from the
present conflict and of the cor
dial relations which she continues to
maintain with all the beIligerents. is
beginning to suffer from the economic
strain Of the war. During the last
month there have been strikes or
threats of strikes in every district Of
the country. In Catalonia, in Valencia.
at La Union, and Logrono there have
been serious disturbances caused bv
hlSh prices and unemployment
Distributes Food to People.
IN CORDOBA the mayor assembled
Workmen and their families to the num-
Der Of 10000 in the bull ring. and gave
TO each a ration Of food. The distress
Is said TO be widespread and likely to
increase The scarcity Of fOodstuffs and
Other articles cannot easily be relieved
by imports from abroad. owing to the
rise in freight rates.
The farmers. and especially the vIno.
growers, are in need Of sulphate of
copper for their crops. II this sui
phate of copper is not forthcoming the
vines viii die Of mildew and pros
porous industry, representing more
than a third OF the total wealth of
the nation, viii be ruined
Furnaces and Factories Idle.
FOR want of steam coal, many
blast furnaces, foundries and factories
are are, working on short time; some
threaten to close and some have
closed already. Fishing trawlers in
Santona cannot put to sea for want Of
coal To save the fishing industry
from ruin 1000 tons Of coal per month
are said to be required. while the
whole of Spanish Industrial needs for
the next twelve months could be met
by 100000 tons.

BRITISH CAMP
LIFE At FRONT
IS INSPIRING
Efficiency is at Its Highest
Point, With Practically
No Bungling.
ABSENCE OF THE
POLITICIAN FELT
ny yIGGO TOEPFER.

r ONDON, Eng. May Ga visit to
the British front is like an invig-
~ Grating and refreshing salt water
bath on a sultry day.
The moment you enter the British
military zone you feel that you have
come to a new and virile country. There
are no bungling or slipshod methods.
undoubtedly due TO the absolute elm
nation Of the professional politician.
Everything makes for efficiency, ev-
erywhere Won find the most wonderful
organization. Things run on well oiled
ball bearings.
The most perfect discipline rules. but
there is no bullying, no loud shouting
Of orders of command. During my en-
tire visit 1 failed to discover among
the thousands of Tommies a single
surly or dissatisfied face.
Officers and men alike are beloved
by the population, whom they all treat
in the most considerate manner. 1
found the whole military zone, outside
the area of actual fighting. a perfect
Arcadia
One Of the reasons of Tommy's hap
piness and good humor is undoubtedly
the ideal manner in which his material
wants are catered to.
Gets Plenty of Good Food.
His food is excellent and undOubt-
edly he gets considerably more variety
than he was used to at home.
1 am certain that his boarding
house mistress will have a hard time
OF ii when he returns, trying to feed
him in the manner to which he has
grown used to in the trenches.
The paternal military authorities
supply him even with such things as
matches and tobacco. AS for bread,
he gets in ample quantity. Ny own
London baker does not supply me with
anything like II in quality or taste.
Emergency RatiOns Good.
I also sampled the emergency ra-
tons the socalled iron rations. and
while they are ideal in their compact
ness, I felt that I could live and fight
a whole month or more on them, and
be none the worse for IL.
I think with shudder Of the hard
tack and canned meat on which I was
fed while a volunteer in the Spanish
American war. But I heard that the
quality Of the canned meat supplied by
our American packers in this war is
everything that could be desired.
The way the British military au-
thorities have organized and are pro-
viding for these millions of volunteer
soldiers is beyond praise The Ameri-
can war department could learn a
great many things here. Especially
In the way Of economy, for nothing is
wasted.
The immense repair shops at the
British bases. where clothes. boots
harness and everything up to heavy
guns are repaired, are worth travelling
thousands Of miles to see.

WAR ORPHANS Of
FRANCE ARE NOT
To Be EXPORTED
Nation Will Take Care of
It's Own But Appreciates
American Offer.
NUMBER EXPECTED
TO REACH 100000

ARTS, France, May 6.-"France is
- not going to export any of its
L war orphans" said monsieur Al
fred Croiset, head Of the Faculty of
Letters of the Sorbonne. explaining
the participation of Americans in the
work Of the Orphanage of the Armies,
Of which he is president. 4 know a
statement was published recently to
the effect that 10000 American
families had offered to adopt orphans
Of the war The number was a little
exaggerated, and the word adoption
used in its general sense was miSlead-
ing. Orphans of the war so far as
it is possible are to remain in their
families. especially when the mother
is living. Where there are no inn
mediate relatives to take care of them,
they are to be placed in other French
families and ultimately will be cared
for by the state, until their majority,
none OF them are available for
adoption under the common accepta
ton of the term.
Most of the Americans who have
expressed the desire to participate I'm
this work understand this point quite
well; in fact in our correspondence the
majority of the letters from the United
States express the desire that the
children which they agree to support
should remain in their families
Whole Number Probably 100000.
"The suppsitiOn that there are 49,
600 American families wanting to take
care Of orphans, arose no doubt from
the fact that we were asked by Ameri-
phans were needing assistance. and we
put the number at $1,000. This, of
course. does not comprise all of the
war orphans. They were estimated

Neutral Countries Make the
Carrying Out Of Plan
Difficult.
ALL CONTRABAND
TO BE ABSOLUTE
High Prices Are IncentiUe
For the NeutraLs To
Practice Fraud.

T ONDON. ENC, May 6-Interviewed
by a Paris newspaper, lord Rob-
ert Cecil, Blockade Minister.
said:
TT is the intention of the allies to
destroy Germany's commerce and cut
off her food supplies from abroad.
'In my opinion. we have already ac-
plished a great deal in this direction.
We have absolutely paralyzed the Ger
man export trade. German credit abroad
is rapidly sinking and her imports are
decreasing.
las you know. Germany is forced to
rely upon neutral neighboring countries
for her food supplies from abroad at
time when she connot possibly pro-
duce enough food at home.
The great difficulty we meet is to
distinguish between the imports which
are intended for consumption in the
neutral country and those which by
devious ways are Struggled into the
enemy's country
whether we adopt what is known
as a regular blockade or continue to
strengthen the measures which we have
already taken, this difficulty remains
the same.
Must Respect NeutrnIs.
you will probably agree that while
we are justified i'm destroying the COM
mrce of Germany, II is equally true that
we must respect the rights Of all
neutral countries if we do not want
to sink TO perilously near to the level
Of Germany in the eyes of the civilized
world.
without losing sight Of the fact
that we are fighting for our national
existence, we also remember that we
are also fighting for the existence of
civilization, and we may. while exer-
cising our rights as belligerents, very
well apply the principles Of inter-
national law in the fashion rendered
necessary by modern conditions to en-
sure the efficiency Of the measures we
have taken"
Speaking Of the possibility Of ex-
tending the list Of absolute cOntraband,
Lord Robert said:
All COntraband Absolute.
"As you know. there were hitherto
two kinds OF cOntraband Absolute
contraband are articles and goods solely
or principally intended for war pur-
poses, while the conditional contra
band consists Of articles which may be
useful as well as for purposes Of war as
FOR the needs Of the civil population.
I'm Germany. the entire population
Is actually modified for the purposes
Of war and the state has established
monopilies in all the most important
articles of food.
1.-THE question then arises II il would
not be better to consider the difference
between the two KINDS of contraband
as having disappeared ana make one
list Of articles Of cOntraband without
any distinction between the two kinds"
Lord Cecil admitted that he did not
consider it possible to stop German i'm
ports altogether, because there is a
certain kind Of local coastwise traffic
which Il is impossible for the British
fleet to intercept
He also admitted that there would
always be a certain amount of fraud
in neutral countries, because people

fact that she was offering these enor-

Battle Of Verdun Has
Changed French Altitude

~ Paris France. May 6-The battle OF
Neroun appears to have had a great
moral effect in France. II has turned
attention from irritating discussions
over details Of the conduct Of the war
ana has cut short an incipient revival Of
partisan spirit in Parliament and in the
press, which has been favored by rela-
tive stagnation at the front Also it
seems TO have diminished the number Of
pesslmists and hence increased French
confidence In the final outcome.
