PLENTY OF FOOD IN EVENT OF
WAR.

Washington, Feb. 23-(By Union
Associated Press)-In case of war
with Germany the government is as
sure of it's food supply as it is of it's
financial support, according to Off
cials high in administration circles.
The food commissioners Of nearly all
of the States have been making an
extensive study of the subject of food
supply. In case of war the food de-
mand will turn largely toward cereals,
which of all classes of foods, are
cheapest and most nourishing. To in
crease the range of cereals the South
ern States are now engaging in an
attempt to develop palatable combi-
nations out of the peanut seed and
cotton seed. Other experiments are
being conducted in other states, the
purpose of all being the production Of
seed which can be ground into meal

CHUM BOB'S SPORTING TALK.

New York, Feb. 23-(By Union As
sociated ss)-The vanguard Of the
Giants started for Marlin today, Da.
vey Robertson's attitude is not wor.
rying the Giants terribly, because he
has always been more or less Of rev.
olutionist. The colts are expected tc
arrive at their southern training camp
next Monday. The sod busters will
have three days to get the train kinks
out Of their systems before they get
to work.
After all, David Fultz, who head
ed the baseball revolt, is not so much
of loser. He is lawyer and the
baseball strike has given him about
100000 worth of good advertising.
Perhaps, when the whole affair is
sifted down, that is all Fultz wanted.
Time will heal all wounds, it seems.
Two of the friendliest little fellers in
baseball today are Charles Hercules
Ebbets of Flatbush and Joseph Fav-
ersham Tinker, his collaboration in the
promotion of the late unlamented Fed
eral League. Tinker is trying to ar
range an exhibition between his Co.
lumbus (American Association club
and the Robins, to be played at Pine
Bluff, a thriving metropolis situated
about fifty miles from Hot Springs

Of definite war service by women,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the National American Women's
Suffrage Association gathered here
today an executive council Of the as
sociation, consisting Of 100 members,
representing all the States. In Mrs.
Cats statement concerning the meet
ing she says: I'm the beginning Of
the European war, the women were
uncertain what they could do and
whether they were wanted, while the
governments underestimated their
capacity and hesitated to, call upon
them for any service. The result has
been serious economic mistakes for
which those countries are paying
dearly. In order to avoid blunders
we propose carefully to consider the
capacity of women to help in our own
crisis and to make definite proposal
to the Government which we can
guarantee to carry out successfully"

London, Feb. 23-Premier Lloyd
George said in speech in the House
OF Commons today that the success
Of the Allies cause depended upon the
ability of those nations to solve the
tonnage shortage, which now is af-
fecting the ordinary needs of the ma
tion and military necessities. The
situation, he declared, called for the
gravest measures. The Premier said
there was no sure victory without
hunting the submarine from the deep.
Enormous sacrifices, he asserted,
are necessary on the part of the Brit
ish public. He said that the govern
ment proposed to dispense with all
non-essential importations to save
tonnage. More than million tons
of British shipping has been allotted
to France and a very considerable
amount has been set aside for Russia
and Italy. In addition considerable
amount has been sunk.
The Premier said that the stocks
of food in Great Britain at the pres
ent time are lower than ever before.
The importation of apples, tomatoes,
and fruits will be prohibited entirely.
The Premier's plan provides for the
stimulation of the British food pro-
duction and a curtailment of impor-
tation, chiefly of luxuries.

GREENWOOD COTTON RECEIPTS
DAILY COTTON LETTER.


New Orleans, Feb. 23-The bullish
situation in spots was further demon
strated by the brisk bidding for
March by spot interests at our open
ing this morning. There were only
600 bales rendered, and promptly
stopped. The large discount of fu-
lures under spots quotations and the
high basis obtainable on hedged cot
ton made it inviting to take up cot
ton on futures as chances are in favor
of a good grade of cotton. Liv-
erpool showed a further advance on
the threatened curtailment of supply.
Futures there advanced as much as
II points over our holiday, while the
spot prices are quoted 21 higher with
$4,000 since Wednesday. While March
futures here held steady at an ad-
vance of about 1S points. Later po-
sitions eased toward the second hour
this is a typical representation OF the
effect of the influences at work at
present. The tendency of the market
is towards closer reproach Of future
to spot quotations on the basis Of
bullish spot situation there is no ac-
tive situation there etaoinetaoinetoa

unsettled political situation. The fear

STEEL MAKERS WORRIED
ABOUT PRICES.

New York, Feb. 23- BY Union As
sociated Press)-As a result of con-
ferences held during the past few
days, the steel makers have de-
cided to do everything possible to
economize in their production of sup
plies. They have found that their
costs are mounting greatly because
of scarcity and high prices of GER
tain raw material. This, theoretical
ly, should have reflection ultimately
in higher prices for finished goods.
The munition makers taking gunpow-
der as an example, must keep their
plant running at well up toward capa-
city to keep abreast Of orders, and if
supplies for factories are held back
by railroad congestion costs rise, eth
er through slackened operations or
from premiums paid for supplies
bought at new sources. Altogether
the situation is little less than alarm
ing.
