1t Is not often that juvenile comedy
gets by on its own merit. but generally
because the audience is moved by hui.
man sympathy and liberation for the
efforts of children. Such was not the
case at the Murray last night in the
"Junicr Follies." The show was most
literally applauded because the three
junior singers and dancers, children
Of less than a dozen years, displayed
a grace in dancing that is seldom seen
in the efforts of adults. Asthma"
the comedy role keeps the house in
laughter, but even without the efforts
of the older members of the cast,
whose bare knees and short skirts do
not entirely disguise their years, the
bill would still remain one OF the best
tabloids seen at the Murray.

Liberty of People Threatened.
Why did we working men of East
London, the men who fought for peace
in 1900, act and speak in this way in
1914? The reason is simple. In the
days of the Boer war we were pro-
Boer because we thought that the
liberty of the Boer was in danger.
Today, we stand by our country be-
cause we know that the liberty of
our people is threatened. Our family
is in trouble. Our family is standing
together. And who, in the name of
God, is going to say that we are not
a. family and fighting as a family!
This war was forced on us. Such 4
wicked war was never before waged.
Our homes are in danger, our wives
and families are threatened. We un-
derstand this. The brutal murders of
innocent folk in Belgium show us
what Germany would do. It is not
a question of prosperity, of conquest,
of trade. We are fighting for liberty
and for our homes. have said many
times that rather than give in to the
barbarian who could do brutal
murders such as the kaiser has sane
toned, would see my own family
wiped out and every member Of the
British empire perish. <.s.s:.: sSs

many. The men who stood by me in
the peace demonstrations in Hyde
Park and Trafalgar Square in the days
of the Boer war, have sent their sons
to fight for England. The younger
men among them are in khaki them
selves. Our lads have volunteered by
the thousand, and many Of them have
died in the trenches. Our women
cheer the lads as they leave, and well
come them as they return.
I myself, the man of pace, have
undertaken big recruiting campaigns.
l have visited. lived among and en-
couraged the men in the trenches. I
have taken the message of the men
making the guns to the men using
the guns, and coming back I have

shops. On one occasion held Sc big
recruiting meetings, on the Tyne, the

have done everything that + could to
help the nation in the war.
When war was first threatened
against us, visited Woolwich, which
I represent in parliament. I said
then: my position is that in the
hour of danger am with the govern
ment. I cannot help myself. We
have fought for peace until the las!
moment, but If war has to come, you

sometimes, but at the bottom we all
had common interest in. the welfare
of our neighborhoods and the safety
of our nation. I had laughed some-
times at the Algies and ,Berties Of

Peoples War.
We found that we were all in it..
Today it is as true as it was at the
beginning. This is not a government
war; it is peoples war. We are
all in it, the man at the village pump
and in the fields, the blacksmith, the
carpenter and joiner, the shipwright
and the man of leisure. We are
standing together because we are
fighting for liberty-and for the purity
of our homes. p

AMERICA WARNED
WORLD IS FACING
FAMINE IN FOOD
Herbert Hoover Declares Hiqh
Range of Prices Confronts
the Country.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Herbert
Hoover Monday warned America the
world faces meat famine and that "a
high range of prices for meat and ami
NAL products for man years to come"
confronts this country
He cited figures to prove the ma
tion's cattle, sheep and hogs are dwin-
ding rapily under the demands of war
and in allied Europe threaten to be
wiped out entirely.
Fabulously high prices in Europe
and America will extend to lard, but
ter, cheese, leather, fats, oil and woods.
Would Control Exports.
He advocated government control of
this country's meat exports. He called
on Americas live stock breeders at
once to lay plans for enormously in
creased herds and flocks. He pleaded
that all rich, well-to-do middle classes
and other non-manual laborers in the
United States greatly decrease their
meat consumption and leave it for the
fighting men and male and female war
workers of allied lands.
He cautioned the allies that "large
amounts of meat from northern neu-
and offered this as an added reason for
regulation Of American exports.
AS an added conservation measure
he suggested that the comparatively
little used fish supply be we'll har-
vested, distributed and more generally
eaten.
But Production Increases.
Since the war began this country's
cattle production increased 100000
as compared with decrease of s.
100000 among the western allies and
a decrease elsewhere in the world, in
cluding enemy countries, of.26.750,O00;
total world decrease of 2S,0S0,0 900
head.
Sheep production decreased 3,000,-
600, the western allies 1850, 900;
other countries 34,OO0,000, a total
world decrease of 54,500,0O0.
While this country's production Of
hogs has increased 6,275,000 head, that
Of the western allies decreased 7,1OO,-
900 head, that of other countries 81
600,000-a total world decrease of 3d.
425,000.
Slaughter Weight Falls.
"While our hogs have increased by
100000 animals" said Hoover, "tle
average weight of the slaughter is fall
ing, and our production is only about
maintained.
1.-The demands by the war on Amer
ica's meat supply are shown in the
growth Of our meat exports from an
average of 493,84S,00O pounds a year
for three years before the war to
1889, 10000 pounds for the single
year ending June 80, 1916.
There is only one immediate solu-
ton to the short supply. We can with
meat, just as with cereals, reduce con-
sumption among those classes who can
best afford it and eliminate waste
meantime, to protect all our peo-
pie, we must carefully control our
meat exports"

In the Boer war we were outspokenly
pro-Boer. At time when national
feeling ran very high, ours was the
only district where not single anti
war meeting was broken up. We not
only held meetings in Poplar itself: we
had demonstrations in Trafalgar
Square. in the parks and in the streets,
Three times at least during these de-
monstrations the opposition to me was
so fierce that it seemed as though I
would be finished. Some men threat
ened to drive me out of public life
because of my stand for the Beers.
Others, like a man with a club, backed
up a dense crowd. who faced me one
afternoon after q demonstration on
Parliament Hill Fields, and threat
ened to brain me, were ready to adopt
a shorter way.
We stood for peace, for liberty and
for friendship among nations. On one
occasion, on a public visit to Germany.
I proposed the health of the kaiser.
We were not in any sense military.
We laughed at the Algies and Berries
OF Piccadilly. We opposed in every
way we could any men who sought
to promote war or to do anything
likely to provoke war.
NOW Support Government.
Today Poplar, for many years the
center of anti-war propaganda, Is
actively supporting the government in
lta conduct of the war against Ger
