LONDON. Jan. 31-Despite the
London Times assertion that it was
authorized 10 deny that the Lloyd
George cabinet will increase the
ornaments on merchant ships by
placing guns fore and aft. reports
were persistent today that the gov
eminent has not yet reached "A
definite conclusion on this important
question
The Pail Mall Gazette, which is
regarded as the mOuthpiece Of the
loyd-George ministry, takes the
view that merchant ships will be
effectively armed"
Commenting upon the armed
merchant ship situation, the Pail
Mall Gazette says:
Germany is going 10 be very
frightful as a punishment TO the
United States for the refusal of her
peace overtures. No such relics Of
humanity as she may throw over
can make q substantial difference in
her warfare. During the next few
months she will undergo the SUI
preme test Of resistance TO her sub
marine campaign. Among the other
measures is the effective arming of
our merchantmen. This step will
compel the United States 10 define
her position clearly
Want Official Announcement
Earnest requests are being made
I'm all sections of the country that
the government make some official
announcement Of its attitude on the
question OF effectively arming
merchant ships Writers on naval
affairs make no effort 70 disguise the

ance 10 indicate the trend of govern
ment action was made i'm the house
of commons on Dec. IA. when Sir
Edward Carson stated that The
government is earnestly considering
the question of arming all merchant
ships"
The suggestion has been made
that merchant ships be sent out in
fleets under the convoy of one or
more warships. Whether this sug-
gestion will be followed up is not
known now. but color is lent 10 the
proposal by the recent naval con-
ference in London for the CLOSE
coordination OF the British, French.
Italian and Russian navies.
The chief issues involved are
these:
THE possibility Of diplomatic
ENHANCEMENT with the United
States.
o. The possibility OF the whole
sale loss of life among combatant
seamen II Germany should decide TO
sink ali ARMED mercantile vessels
without warning.

international News Service.

COPENHAGEN. Jan. 81. - The
first detailed story of the exploits of
the German commerce raider Moewe
on her second dash into the At
lantic has just been given by Capt.
Andersen. of the Norwegian steam
ship Hallbjoerg, whose vessel was
sunk by the German sea wolf on
Dec. 4. These facts were establish
ed:

Moewe
THAT an American seaman was
killed on Dec. 6.when a New Found

into the Atlantic.
Capt Andersen said that the
prison ship Yarrowdale reached
Swedish waters on Dec. %. On Dec.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 - Food
prices are higher today than ever
before and they promise TO go even
higher. The problem has become
critical because. federal. state and
municipal Investigations have all
failed. This is according 10 Mrs.
Julian Heath. president Of the Ma
tional Housewives league, who has
devoted much of her time in the
past year to a study Of food prices.
The dove of peace has settled.
The Investigations are over" said
Mrs. Heath tdoy. And the con-
sumner is suffering more than ever.
Investigations have failed Federal,
state and municipal authorities have
failed 20 check the rise in prices.
Something must be done.
And, the burden of the blame.
Mrs. Heath lays on the shoulders
of the producer-the agriculturists.
Prest Wilson told the National
Grange. there must be greater pro-
duction' said Mrs. Heath The
producer answered, But, if we pro
duce more we won't get as high
prices and there is the jam. and it
is the consumer. the great Ameri-
can house that is caught i'm the
edge. Manufacturers of American
products have been slow 10 raise
prices. they realize their interest are
liz the consumers. but the individual
producer has gone on. getting the
most ne could without thought OF
the consumer
There seems to me to be but one
remedy-some sort of federal con-
troll of production and distribution.
The government will have TO say
what shall be paid And, then see
that the production reaches the con
sumner. The consumer. too. will
have 20 cooperate i'm an intelligent
way When cabbages are scarce
the consumer must reduce consump-
tion until the supply becomes nor
NAL again. This seems to me the
only possible remedy"
