Meat and Batter Cost SIS a Pound,

known.
Famine is beginning to clutch at
the throat Of the once opulent Hun
gary, according to cabled dispatches
received by ctficlaIs N Washington
in the last few days, it was stated
Yesterday.
In Budapest, it is stated, meat IS
practically unknown, and in the prov
inces, the population has been re-
duced to living principally on dried
peas and dried plums. Vegetables are
selling at premium prices, vendors
even cutting up dry wood and dry
leaves and selling them at exhorol-
tant prices IN the ground they are
vegetables. Mix or cream is I'M
known, and IN the rural dlstFlcts
there is no butter or cheese. Eggs are
practically minas quantity.
Green peas were selling at SLAB a
kilogram q IA pounds. An unap-
petizing liquid, which was once
SKINNED milk. cost 60 cents pint
Cherries were Sc cents per pound.
Potatoes were not to be had.
Conditions as stated by the infor-
nant were fnr June IS. Shortly fol
lowing that date the authorities
sought to arbitrarily fix the price OF
vegetables at about half the vendors
were asking, This resulted in strike,
so that in the great market places
no foodstufrs were to be had.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
vendors were selling their foods to
Vienna buyers, and the restriction
had to be withdrawn.
These reports are considered eX-
tremely significant in Official and
diplomatic circles here, for Hungary
was looked upon as the storehouse
which would ration the Austrian ar
mics. 1t was to get the llch farm
products Of Hungary that Count
Tisza was displaced as premier by
the Austrians. and the indication
that The stocks haze been depleted
is taken to mean here that Austria
is in direct lceG and the time is ripe
for the proposed Italian offensive.
Cabled press advices from Austria
received in Washington during the
past few days indicate that an even
worse condition now prevails. Inc
reports state that lunch cannot be
purchased in any restaurant for less
than IS.
Three pounds of meat for So, olive
oil so per Quart, butter So per

some of the prices quoted.

cipal enemy, uncomfortable, but
they mercy are a means toward
victory. 1t would be a mistake to De-
lieve from the experiences Of this
war that big ships are useless, but
for US the essential type is that OF
light cruisers. If we had great
