NEEDS CASH TO BREAK POTATO

Commissioner OF Weights and Meas
ures Joseph Hartlgan has announced
that IL public spirited citizens sub
scribe 100000. he can break in twelve
days the corner in potatoes and
onions, giving consumers an ads-
qunte supply at 25 per cent. less than
they are paying now. and maintain
the supply for three months. Those
who put up cash will get their money
back. he said.
MIR. Hartlgan spent several hours
at piers and other terminals and said
he was satisfied lots OF potatoes and
onions had arrived. He believes the
situation regarding these vegetables
Is due TO commission men outside OF
New York who are holding large
stocks and releasing them only as they
can be placed without breaking pre-
valllng prices. lie says he knows the
sources of supply, and can carry out

NEWSPAPERS CUT SIZE.
Late Announcement Bans
Hides, but Gives Certain Ii
cenSe to Commerce Board.

LONDON, Fob. 2i.--Hearty appro-
val OF the stcrnly restrictive meas
ures which Premier Lloyd George
outlined yesterday before the House
Of Commons was expressed on every
hand to-day. The only fault British
Newspaper editorials found with the
speech was that perhaps II was a
trinc more pessimistlc as 10 the pres
ent situation than was Justified,
Some members think the Premier
drew too dark n picture of the exist
ing situation" declared tho Chronicle.
but there has been 40 much COM
placent optimism in this country
about the war that corrective was
necessary. Lloyd George is right In
refusing 10 mask tho realities. for
you do not get rid OF them by cover
ing with a gauzo of words and pre-
lenses"
Most OF tho London newspapers
announced a reduction In size to-day.
in view OF the curtallment OF paper
imports announced by the Prime
Minister.
In tho aftermath OF discussion on
the speech tnoro was a faint echo OF
surprise that the Premier did not
refer by n single word TO EnRland's
present military situation. IL was
pointed out. however. that such omls-
sion OF detailed discussion was per-
haps studied. Tho Premier appar-
entity adopted the attitude that there
was no uncertainty about the out
come. and 30 refrnlned from refer
enco TO n topic about which he felt
thero was no necessity for discussion.
mo forecast OF the statement made
by the Prime Minister had prepared
the public for tho drastic series OF
restrictions they ind imposed to-
day" said tho Daily News to-day.
Nothing has brought tho
lesser penalties OF the war as closely
homo to the people OF this country
as Lloyd Georges catalogue OF the
commodities we shall hencoforward
have to do without"
Some newspapers object that there
was not a greater cut In the output
OF beer.
Importers OF American goods feel
themselves particularly hard hit by
the latest restrictions upon imports
but the extent OF their loss can be
only approximated untll they learn
Just how liberally licenses will b,
granted for importations OF forbid
den wares.
The goods most drastically affected
and which have been imported In
amounts running into millions an
nually from America, include agri-
cultural machinery typowrlters and
other office equipment, boots and
shoes. cotton hosiery. apples. wood
and cut timber. Cotton hosiery waA
on the previous prohibited list. but
was recently removed by the Govern
ment.
Many items included in tho latest
list, as far as importations were con-
cerned, have only been allowed 10
enter under license for some time
past. but importers have smarted
under feeling that much favoritism
has been shown In the issuance OF
such licenses. They now expect a
more even system OF administration.
