TO PROTEST THE EXPORT
 OF FOOD FROM IRELAND
Natives May Forcibly Hold Up the
 Food at Irish Ports.

Dublin, Ireland, April 1.-The food situation in Ireland has provoked, from a certain section, the demand that no food shall be allowed to leave the Irish shores. and it has been urged that unless the government prohibit export the people should forcibly hold up the food at the Irish ports. Though this demand has not been put forward from any responsible source it has vice president of the departE1e1t of agriculture for Ireland. who referred to it as John Mitchers old cry of hold the focd.'"
 MT. Russell said only an ove-whelm- ing emergency could justify the risk of having their export trade destroyed. Last year Ireland. had exported 4s.- eco 900 pounds worth of food. and to destroy that expert trade would de- they could get goods into Ireland only by paying for them with exports There was no necessity whatever for panic. There was an undoubted short age of potatoes. but it's pressure would not be felt till the end Of May and they could make an effort to live on without potatoes until the new crop in June and July
 The government measures for the land are proving a success. They were welcomed by the class of small tenants who in most cases are tiliing more thar the 10 per cent extra re quired by the regulations. The large e:rH Ziers and owners of grass lands held out at first but the heads of az ricIIltural department mado it evident that they meant to insist on their compulsory powers, and that, unless

The increased cost Of living he attributes largely to the fact that the distributive branch of agri- culture had been organized in a very haphazard way.

 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is a remarkable story with thrilling dramatic action. intense heart interest and the scenic embel- lishments have never been equalled in motion pictures. It appeals to all classes and it is appealing and inter esting to adults, pleasing and fasci- hating to children being not only a wonderful entertainment but a picture of unusual educational value.

VALLEY FILLED WITH

London. April IA British officer on duty with the air service in East Africa includes in one of his reports a graphic descriDtion of an immense valley filled with the huge "Arum lil- ies," over which he flew somewhere in the region of Zanzibar. As he passed over the valley, he was 5000 feet high, but the perfume of the lil- ies reached his nostrils for a long dis tance.
 By means of his glasses he observed that the lily flowers were 'as large as elephants ears" and that the whole of the valley had been nonopo,ized bv the beautiful flowers. The luxu- rience of the vegetation was particu larly remarka ble. He learned later that the scent of the flowers was so overpowing in the valley that no na tive had ever dared to penetrate with in it's borders.
