FOODSTUFFS INCREASE
HOUSEWIVES FAILING TO PRAc-
TIcE ECONOMY, AND, TOO, Ex-
PORT TRADE HAS GROWN
Without Corresponding Production
Boost-Health Board Fails to
Discover boarding.

Western Union Newspaper News Service.
New York-Enormous increase in
the expectation of staple articles of
food, without corresponding increase
in production, and lack of intelligent
economy in buying by housewives, are
ascribed by the Department of Health
of this city in a report issued, as the
chief reasons for steadily rising
prices. The department declared
there does not appear to be any sud
den or recently developed emergency
in the food situation in this city," al
though there has been serious rioting
in various parts of the city.
While the report asserts there is
obviously less dependency and real
need that has been common for many
years past" it also says 1T is appar-
ent that unless the present high prices
of food are reduced or controlled, or
as an alternative the income of fami-
lies which now maintain themselves
on $500 a year or less is increased by
raise of wages or through relief agen-
cies, there will be constantly in
creasing number of people whose
health will be jeopardized by their in
ability to buy a sufficiently nourish-
ing food at the present prices"

The bill as passed takes in IA sep

Those voting no on the espionage
bill were Senators BOrah, Cummins,

Lee and Vardaman, Democrats.
Cummins led the opposition, de-
claring the bill too drastic. He SUBJ

SEES U-BOAT PERIL

Premier Tells Commons Allies Cause
Is Hanging in Balance Because of
Ship Havoc-Enormous Sacrifices
Needed at Once to Win the War.

London, Feb. 26.-England is feel
ing sharply the blows of Germany's
submarine feet. This was made plain
by Premier Lloyd-George in the house
of commons when he delivered his her
aided speech ON the necessity to re-
strict imports.
The submarine must be hunted
from the deep, the premier declared.
There is no surer way to victory. He
pointed out the need of tonnage to
supply the needs of the civil and mill
tary nation, and declared that the stu
alton calls for the gravest measures.
The premier declared that the gov
eminent hopes to deal effectively with
the submarine menace despite the diff
culties in the way of hunting down I'M
| derwater boats, and said that enor-
nous sacrifices are necessary from
the British public, as the government
proposes to dispense with all non
essential importatiOns to save ton
mage.
This was the first time that it has
been officially admitted that the Ger
man submarine war is crippling the
British government.
THE gravest kind Of measures are
necessary in this situation" declared
the premier. 1.-The government is hope
full of dealing effectively with this mat
ter, but we should be guilty of the
worst kind of folly if we rested tran
| 20
hope. We have to face action and
we have to deal ruthlessly and prompt
ly with the tonnage question"
The premier said that more than
100000 tons of British shipping has
been assigned to France.
IF grave and speedy measures are
not taken at once we face disaster
asserted the prime minister. 1--WE
must find ships TO bear iron ore at all
costs, for that is necessary for the
making of ammunition which will win
the war;"
LlOyd-George said that for some
time there has been a shortage of ton
mage required for the general needs OF
the nation, and even q shortage in the
tonnage for military purposes. The
nation should realize absolutely what
the conditions were.
IF we take drastic measures" he
continued, "we can cope with the sub
marine menace, but if the nation /:
not prepared to accept drastic meas
lures for dealing with the menace, dis
aster is before us.
There are three sets of measures
First by the navy, as described b!
Sir Edward Carson, first lord of thu
admiralty; second, the building o.
merchant ships; third, dispensing
with unnecessary commodities from
abroad and production of as much foo
as possible at home"
The stocks of food in Great Britain
are lower than they ever have been be
fore, Mr.. LlOyd-George said. 1t is es
sential for the life of the nation, h
declared, that every possible effort b.
made to increase home production.
