Potato WAR IS NOW
THREATENED IN ENGLAND
Oearth of Tubers on the Market
Sends Prices Skyrocketing.
Lloyd George Intervenes.

Premier Lloyd Georges Intervention
In the potato crisis Is regarded as an
eleventh hour effort to avert the po-
tato war which has been threatening
for some time In England. Lloyd's
Weekly News says that people every
where are discontinued over the dearth
and DEAFNESS OF potatoes, while retail
ers are rebellious and refuse to sell at
the price fixed by the comptroller.
Serious famine exists In virtually all
the large Lancashire towns, particu-
larly Manchester. The usual weekly
output from the Ormskirk district Of
Lancashire Is between 1900 and 1900
tens, but this month not 100 tons have
been sold by retail, yet 1t Is estimated
that there are more than 10000 tons Of
potatoes within a ten mile radius of
Ormskirk.
Acting under orders from Dublin,
the police OF Ireland visited the mar
kets at D~rogheda. Middleton, Limerick
and elsewhere and ordered the farmer
sellers not to charge more than a shil-
ling for fourteen pounds Of potatoes.
The Weekly Dispatch says that the
potato famine is due to the nonarrival
OF stocks ON the market, owing to the
alleged Withholding Of stocks by farm
ers for better prices.
